I have been working on making WebRTC + Embedded Devices easier for a few years. This is a hackathon project that pulled some of that together.

Here is a list of every Xbox and PC game shown during Opening Night Live at Gamescom 2025.
Microsoft recently released a series of important security fixes for both Windows 10 and Windows 11, but unfortunately it’s now clear that those updates are causing all kinds of problems.
One of the more critical issues, according to Microsoft’s Release Health support documents, is that attempts to reset or recover your device might fail. Specifically, this
We’ve come a long way from the beige PCs of the 1990s. But even though I’ve gladly followed the evolution of computer cases, I’ve started to become cool toward today’s sleek, clean styling. But I didn’t know what exactly I craved until I saw Hyte’s Computex announcement of its upcoming X50 and X50 Air.

Graphics card prices are dropping. Wow, that’s something I haven’t been able to say in a long time. Unfortunately, it’s only for those of you in Europe, as Nvidia makes a slight cut to some of the latest RTX 50-series desktop graphics cards in the region. Notably, prices in the US (where unpredictable tariffs are putting a damper on anything with chips in it) remain
It was a good ride while it lasted, those who’ve been paying less for grandfathered-in Philo live-TV streaming plans will soon be facing price hikes.
Starting on October 3, subscribers to Philo’s $16 per month and $20 per month legacy plans will see their monthly rates rise to $25 a month, according to an email sent to Philo subscribers.

The Trump administration is considering converting $10.9 billion in CHIPS Act grants into a 10% equity stake in Intel, while SoftBank acquires $2 billion. Together, a $12 billion boost that signals both political and commercial confidence in the struggling chipmaker. However, whether this is enough to accelerate the delayed U.S. fabs in time to secure major foundry customers remains uncertain.
Helldivers 2 is getting a Halo crossover. On August 26, gear inspired by Halo 3: ODST will be available in the Sony-published Helldivers game. Practically speaking, this is about some new armor, guns and abilities — just another Tuesday in the gaming world. But symbolically,
Is it finally happening? Team Cherry just announced a livestream for the long-anticipated sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong. It takes place on August 21 at 10:30AM ET. The company says it will be making a "special announcement" about the game. We don't exactly know what this announcement will be, but it's starting to feel like a release date or at least a release window.
Rumors have been swirling that the title would finally be getting a release date during
Nintendo has confirmed that Kirby Air Riders, a modern revival of the 2003 GameCube cult classic Kirby Air Ride, will be released exclusively on Switch 2 on November 20. The announcement came during a marathon
Denshattack! is what happens when Tony Hawk trades in his skateboard for a high-speed Japanese train. Yes, you read that correctly.
Denshattack! is the latest game from Barcelona indie studio Undercoders, and it's a delirious, high-speed action experience complete with flow states, a banging original soundtrack, flamboyant characters and coming-of-age drama.

In the 16 years since Ronald D. Moore's take on Battlestar Galactica ended its official TV run in 2009, the most surprising thing about the series is that it hasn't inspired many great games. Sure, more than a few releases have carried the Battlestar Galactica name, but none of those have managed to capture what made the 2003 miniseries and later 2004 show so special. That might change early next year when
