When you’re paying $1,000 for a smartphone, you expect it to be premium but also not so fragile. Given how that’s exactly what you’ll be paying for a Galaxy Note 9, you’d presume Samsung has taken great pains to ensure it won’t explode or even break. Fortunately, the Korean OEM does have a track record when it comes to durability. … Continue reading
Diablo 3 was confirmed for the Nintendo Switch last week and while the Switch might not pack the same powerful hardware as the PS4 Pro or Xbox One, Blizzard said that the game would run at 60fps across the board. This meant that gamers can expect 60fps whether the console is docked or undocked.
For those curious about how the game looks like on the Switch, the folks at GameSpot have uploaded a video showing off gameplay on the Switch console. This gives us a good look at how the interface will look like, and at the same time it also shows how silky smooth the gameplay is at 60fps.
Note that the game will run at different resolutions depending on whether the console is docked or undocked. When docked it will run at 960p, while undocked it will run at 720p. This isn’t the Full HD resolution gamers might have been hoping for, especially if you plan to play the game on a 4K TV in which the differences might be more obvious, but Diablo 3 is fun enough where the gameplay will probably outshine the resolution.
Diablo 3 for the Switch is expected to launch this fall, but no specific dates have been mentioned. It will also come bundled with the Reaper of Souls expansion, Rise of the Necromancer DLC, and also some exclusive goodies for Switch gamers. There is no support for cross-platform play, but that is an area that Blizzard is interested in exploring.

If you’re thinking about getting your hands on the Apple Watch, maybe you might want to wait until next month. This is because according to popular belief, Apple is expected to announce the Apple Watch Series 4 alongside its new iPhones, and if the rumors are true, we could be looking at a slightly larger display.
Of course none of this is confirmed yet as Apple has yet to make any kind of product announcement, but according to French blog Consomac (via MacRumors), Apple has recently made some filings at the EEC which seem to confirm that there are new Apple Watch models in the works, and all of them running on watchOS 5.
The models in question are the A1977, A1978, A1975, A1976, A2007, and A2008, and these filings are a legal requirement for encrypted devices to be sold in countries such as Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. As MacRumors points out, similar filings have been made in the past for various Apple products, like the iPad, AirPods, MacBook Pros, and more.
They also note that these filings usually take place about 1-2 weeks before the products are officially announced, which would suggest that the Apple Watch Series 4 could be announced soon. Right now there is speculation that the new iPhones and the Apple Watch could be announced in the second week of September, although like we said, no official invites have gone out yet.

The other day Valve accidentally made its Steam TV streaming platform public. According to the company, it was by accident as they said that they were testing it out and it was not meant to be public. However it seems that Valve might have given up trying to keep it a secret because it looks like Steam TV is live again.
Right now the only game that they are streaming is The International’s DotA 2, but if you’re a fan and wouldn’t mind taking Valve’s new streaming platform for a test drive, you can head on over to its website and check it out. We’re not sure if the stream is live again on purpose or if it is another accident, but like we said given how everyone now knows about the company’s plans, we suppose keeping it a secret isn’t doing anyone any good.
In fact having more users use Steam TV could be a good way for Valve to test its platform on a larger scale. It is unclear what else Valve plans on doing with it, but we’re not surprised that they are getting into streaming, especially when you consider that streaming DotA 2 is very popular, especially on Twitch, so for Valve to try and keep it within the Steam family make sense.
No word on when Valve plans on making an official launch and announcement, but if you have some time to spare it could be worth checking out.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey says social media platforms shouldn’t be “arbiters of truth.” The ACLU seems to agree with that.
“This is pretty important testimony,” Dean said of the White House counsel’s cooperation in the Mueller investigation.
Despite receiving threats, Daniels said that in the future, she hopes it “becomes known that I am not a liar.”
“Even when Trump is attempting to compliment someone, his overt racism just oozes out.”

Jessica Wentz escaped the concrete confines of New York for her childhood home of Santa Rosa, California last year. At the time, the decision seemed like a no brainer, leaving behind a landscape dominated by humans for one where homes mingled with the forest and rolling chaparral hills of Northern California.
