Back in 2018, Audi debuted a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) version of the R8 called the RWS. As good as it was, the R8 RWS was limited to only 320 units. For those mourning the return of an R8 RWD, we have good news. The Audi R8 RWD is making a comeback for the 2021 model year, and you can have it … Continue reading
Anyone who’s ever owned a cat knows that they can be fickle beasts. One minute they’re happily taking scratchies on the head. The next minute they are clawing your hand and biting your fingers. A team of psychologists from the University of Sussex and Portsmouth has published a new paper discussing bonding with cats. The study is called “The role … Continue reading
Google has given us a glimpse of its San Jose campus, and based on the renders and details it has released, it won’t look anything like a corporate facility once it’s done. Unlike other campuses that are closed off, the one in San Jose was designed t…

NVIDIA made waves back in September when they announced their new RTX 30-series GPUs. These GPUs are incredibly powerful and if you’re a gamer looking to upgrade their rig, they could be worth checking out. In fact, if you can’t be bothered to build your own PC, then Alienware’s Aurora R11 could be a contender.
This is because the company has announced an update to the Aurora R11 gaming PC in which it will now come with the option to configure it with NVIDIA’s RTX 30-series GPUs. This comes in the form of either the NVIDIA RTX 3080 or the higher-end RTX 3090, which Alienware claims have apparently been “custom-engineered” with advanced cooling and better thermal management.
That being said, the addition of these GPUs means that your configurations won’t come cheap. For example, choosing the RTX 3080 will set you back an extra $800 or so, while the RTX 3090 will cost you an extra $1,600. However, if you’re looking to future proof your next gaming PC and have it last you for the next few years, it might be an investment worth making.
Alienware will also be throwing in a free copy of Watch Dogs: Legion along with a 12-month subscription to NVIDIA’s GeForce Now game streaming service, although the latter does seem like a waste since one of the upsides of streaming games is that it takes away the need to own a high-end gaming PC, but hey, it’s there if you want it.

Apple’s iPhone 12 has yet to be released or announced even, but we already know how well it could perform. This is thanks to Apple introducing the A14 chipset in the iPad Air which is also expected to find its way into the company’s iPhone 12 lineup. Assuming the benchmarks are accurate, here’s what we can expect.
According to the benchmarks, the A14 Bionic chipset scored 1,583 in terms of single-core performance, and 4,198 in terms of multi-core performance. So what does this mean? This means that if you’re upgrading from the iPhone 11 series, you can expect to see about an 18% jump in performance.
It’s not that big of a jump, but if you’re coming from an older iPhone, then the gains will be more noticeable. Take for instance the iPhone XR/XS where users can expect a 44% increase in performance, or 75% if you’re upgrading from the iPhone X. If you’re coming from an even older iPhone, like iPhone 6s, then the performance improvement will be about 196%, which is more than double.
Of course, it’s hard to say if these scores will be the same on the iPhone 12 as Apple could potentially make some tweaks, but if you’re coming from an older iPhone, then these gains could make the iPhone 12 worth upgrading to. Apple is currently scheduled to announce their new iPhones on the 13th of October, so check back with us then for the updates.
This Is How Fast We Can Expect The iPhone 12 To Perform

We’ve all accidentally made a “butt dial” at some point in our lives where by we’ve called people without meaning to. However, have you ever accidentally “butt-purchased” anything before? Unfortunately for Dr. Ali Vaziri, he’s now on the hook for a $4,280 bill from Tesla after he allegedly claims he accidentally purchased an upgrade for his vehicle.
According to Vaziri, he claims that somehow, he might have accidentally purchased a Tesla upgrade for his Model 3 and now has to pay $4,280 for it, a bill that he is currently disputing and hoping will be resolved. Speaking to CNBC, Vaziri said, “My phone was in my jeans. I took it out, put it on this charger that comes with your Tesla and that’s it. A minute later? I got the text. I’ve never purchased anything through the Tesla app before.”
The upgrade he purchased was for the “Enhanced Autopilot” feature that would basically give drivers a more enhanced version of driver assistance features, such as automatic navigation, automatic lane changing, parking, and also the ability for users to summon their vehicles to their location.
When Vaziri contacted Tesla, they told him he could request a refund through a button in the Tesla app, but Vaziri told the rep that there was no such button. He also could not find any links to a page to process the refund request. Instead, the doctor had to ask his credit card company to perform a stop payment request.

Last month, Microsoft announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is now available on Android, so the question is, what about iOS gamers? Microsoft did state that they do plan to eventually bring the service to iOS, but given Apple’s restrictions that would require them reviewing every single game that’s part of the service, it just didn’t seem feasible.
However, according to a report from Business Insider, it seems that Microsoft might have found a way around the problem, and that is through the web. Instead of launching Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as an iOS app, which would require them to adhere to Apple’s App Store rules, Microsoft is expected to launch the service as a web version so that iOS gamers can access it through their browser instead.
This would effectively allow Microsoft to skirt around the App Store rules while offering up the service to iOS users who want to take advantage of the service. For those unfamiliar, Apple did relax the App Store’s rules regarding game streaming services, but stipulated that services would need to ensure that the games offered are also listed as individual offerings in the App Store making them subject to Apple’s review.
In some instances, it would be impossible because not all games are created for mobile or computers, meaning that it would not make sense for a company like Microsoft to submit a game clearly designed for the Xbox to the App Store. Microsoft did previously voice their displeasure, but it seems that they might now have a way around the issue.
