A hands-on guide for RC snubbers and inductive load suppression
The other day, I was casually scrolling through Google when I stumbled upon a flood of dirt-cheap RC snubber circuit modules on various online stores. That got me thinking—it’s high time we talk about these little circuits and their real-world applications. This post will offer some insights on RC snubber circuits along with a few…
Sigma BF hands-on: Minimal to a fault
In February, Sigma announced the Sigma BF. It’s a full-frame, interchangeable lens camera with just a shutter release, a dial and three buttons. That minimalism speaks to me, and I felt the BF was potentially transformative. Photography is one of my favorite hobbies, and I’ve always felt modern cameras are too complicated. When I received…
Backbone Pro hands-on: A pricey controller for more than just your phone
Since arriving in 2020, the Backbone One has helped popularize dedicated mobile game controllers, the kind you might use for streaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming and NVIDIA GeForce Now, remote play apps, emulators or any smartphone game you’d rather play with buttons and joysticks instead of your fingers.

F1 25 hands-on preview, part one: MyTeam 2.0 goes full team boss by “retiring” the owner driver
The MyTeam mode of the last few F1 games has been arguably the bit that’s most easy to skip or just forget exists. You’d certainly not have missed much new stuff by doing so. Codemasters is aiming to change that with F1 25, though, by introducing the first significant revamp the mode’s gotten since it…

Atomfall Hands-On Preview – Rebellion’s New IP is More Than Just British Fallout
When the offer to spend 90 minutes with Rebellion’s brand new IP Atomfall arrived in my inbox, my reply was less professional and more an enthuastic yes screamed across an Email. After spending some time with the upcoming alternate-history game (due to release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC on March 27)…
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra hands-on: Faster, curvier and way more… AI-ier
Last year Samsung embraced artificial intelligence with its suite of Galaxy AI features. And while the new S25 Ultra is a bit faster, a little curvier and has a slightly bigger display than before, it’s clear the company’s primary focus was upgrading the software and machine learning capabilities of its top-spec flagship phone. But is…
Revenge of the Seven Interview With Game Producer Shinichi Tatsuke and Steam Deck Hands-On Preview – TouchArcade
A lot of folks got into the SaGa series a long time ago through its many releases on prior console generations. For me, Romancing Saga 2 on iOS was actually my gateway into the series nearly a decade ago, and I remember struggling with it quite a bit initially because I kept playing it like…
Fallout 76 playable ghoul hands-on preview – a rad expansion, especially if you’re keen for an undead dip
I emerge from the dodgy pool filled with dodgy barrels, geiger counter screaming like a white noise machine, and take it all in. My skin and clothes are literally pulsating with a rather cartoonish lime green glow. My health bar has a sheathe of built-up radioactive energy instead of being 90% red. I pull out…
