Although the old top-down version of Grand Theft Auto was at one time ported to the Game Boy Color, the experience was nowhere near as fun as the notorious 3D versions of the game, so Sebastian Staacks decided to fix that and has come up with a way to actually play Grand Theft Auto V on the original Game Boy through…
Acer unveiled several Windows 11 SE laptops for K-8 classrooms earlier this month after announcing a fleet of Chromebooks prior to CES, and now the company is giving educators even more choices by launching four additional laptops running on Google’s Chrome OS.

Google, no stranger to lawsuits about its practices these days, is facing a fresh legal broadside from Washington DC Attorney General Karl Racine. Racine (pictured) has launched an action claiming that Google has violated the Consumer Protection Procedures act in the state, specifically about location tracking. Essentially, Racine believes that while Google says its users can opt-out of having their whereabouts identified, such tracking remains in place.
BREAKING: My office is suing Google for deceiving users and invading their privacy.
Google claims that changing your device and account settings protects your data. The truth is, since 2014, Google has systematically surveilled users no matter what settings they choose.
— AG Karl A. Racine (@AGKarlRacine) January 24, 2022
Much of this controversy was first publicized back in 2018 when an Associated Press report identified that location tracking remained active regardless of the user’s choice. The claim says that between 2014 and 2019, despite these promises, tracking data was stored in a Web and App Activity database. As our deep dive on the subject explained, Google did enable users to go in and erase their location from this file, but the process was slow and laborious.
We’re leading a bipartisan group of AGs from Texas, Indiana, & Washington, each suing in state court to hold Google accountable.
We’re seeking to stop Google’s illegal use of “dark patterns” & claw back profits made from location data. Read the complaint:https://t.co/KQCPiZSYxA
— AG Karl A. Racine (@AGKarlRacine) January 24, 2022
“Google leads consumers to believe that consumers are in control of whether Google collects and retains information about their location and how that information is used,” says the complaint. “In reality, consumers who use Google products cannot prevent Google from collecting, storing and profiting from their location.” It added that the use of dark patterns to nudge a user to consenting to data collection is harmful to consumers.

As excellent a retro handheld as the Analogue Pocket is, at $220 it’s an expensive piece of hardware—pricier than even the Nintendo Switch Lite. Analogue’s use of hardware emulation delivers a flawless retro gaming experience, but don’t write off software emulation just yet. For $60, the Miyoo Mini is a brilliant…
The Green Bay Packers quarterback also seemed to question the 2020 election.
It might seem counterintuitive, but the need for accessories and peripherals has only grown as laptops become more advanced. Modern notebooks need to be slim and lightweight with super thin display bezels—physical requirements that lead to some inherent limitations. Few ports, poor speakers, awful webcams, and shallow…

A number of Apple’s sound products are on sale right now at Amazon including the AirPods Max and AirPods Pro, but the best deal is to be found on the second generation AirPods. They’re now on sale for just $100 or 37 percent off, the second-best deal we’ve seen on them since Black Friday.
Buy second-gen Apple AirPods at Amazon – $100
The second-gen AirPods lack the active noise cancellation of higher-end models but still deliver solid sound quality and good battery life — up to five hours and a few charges with the included case. The biggest benefit is available to Apple users, as the H1 chipset allows you to connect in seconds and switch quickly between an iPhone, iPad and MacBook. The biggest difference with the latest third-gen AirPods is improved comfort for more users in the latter model.
The AirPods Pro, meanwhile, are on sale for $180, or 28 percent off the regular price. They’re Apple’s best-sounding earbuds, offering great clarity, refined bass tones and Apple’s spatial Dolby Atmos audio. The active noise cancellation (ANC) is highly effective, blocking enough noise that you don’t have to crank up the sound excessively. Battery life is also solid, with up to 4.5 hours on a charge with ANC turned on. Other features include a transparency mode so you can talk to others, touch controls, and the ability to switch quickly between Apple devices.

Finally, Apple’s AirPods Max headphones are on sale for $449 ($100 off the regular price) in the Sky Blue color only (shown above). If you’re good with that, they offer excellent balanced sound, very effective active noise cancellation and on-board controls. You’ll also get benefits in the Apple ecosystem like simple pairing and spatial audio. They also deliver solid battery life. We’ve seen a lower price at Woot, but returns and purchases are more straightforward with Amazon, and it’s still a significant discount.
