Ayaneo recently announced the Ayaneo 2S, the refresh of its previous PC gaming handhelds, during a livestream. And now the Chinese company has debuted its portable machine through crowdfunding, looking to fully fund its production.

The Ayaneo 2S Indiegogo campaign has already earned $320,460 out of its initial $6,640 goal, which puts it nearly 5,000% over its goal. According to previously released information, the handheld uses an AMD Ryzen 7840U chip, the same as the Asus ROG Ally’s own Z1 Extreme CPU. 

But what’s new is another model that’s part of the same crowdfunding campaign, the Ayaneo Geek 1S. This one has a 7-inch 1280 x 800 pixel IPS LCD display, either 16GB or 32GB of RAM, and 512GB or 2TB of storage. And the 2S version has a 1920 x 1200 pixel display, 16GB to 64GB of RAM, 512GB to 4TB of storage, better controls, superior motion controls, and more.

Both versions have special crowdfunding exclusive price tags: the Ayaneo Geek 1S is currently $700 while the Ayaneo 2S is $949. Once both models hit retailers, depending on the configuration you select (and there are plenty of options) the highest MSRP for the 2S will be $1,999 while the Geek 1S will reach as high as $1,299.

Ayaneo needs to reconsider pricing

While the Ayaneo 2S specs sound incredible and the fact that you can configure it in so many ways is quite appealing, the pricing is a big issue. It was also an issue with the Asus ROG Ally before official pricing was confirmed to be thankfully lower than $800. 

But as I pointed out before, gamers will simply not purchase any gaming console they deem too expensive and this has been shown repeatedly in the past to be true. Couple that with the cost of living crisis that’s negatively affecting laptop and PC sales, and you have a recipe for disaster if a gaming handheld is too costly.

And that’s exactly the issue here: most configurations are extremely expensive, more so than many lower-cost gaming laptops and PCs. Even the crowdfunding exclusive prices are rather high. If Ayaneo wants to be competitive with the ROG Ally, Steam Deck, and Nintendo Switch, it needs to rethink its current pricing model. 

Because it’s guaranteed that will seriously harm sales, which would be a shame considering how well-designed this handheld appears to be.

Like Apple’s FaceTime, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams before it, WhatsApp may soon allow its users to share their screen with others during a video call.

This info comes from WABetaInfo who discovered the upcoming feature after digging through the files of the latest Android beta. According to a recent report, a new icon is set to appear at the bottom of a video call in the call control view. Tapping it will “share your screen” with the other person and “everything displayed… will be recorded”. Of course, you can end the transmission at any time by revoking permission.

There are some requirements that must be met first before anyone can try out screen-sharing. WABetaInfo states the “feature may be unavailable on old versions of Android”, plus the recipient cannot have “an outdated version of WhatsApp.” It’s also possible screen-sharing will not work in large group calls. It’s hard to say for sure what exactly are the limitations for this update since it hasn’t even been officially released. Recall that this is only a beta so there’s still some work left to be done.

If you want to try out screen-sharing yourself, you’ll need to first join the Google Play Beta Program and then install the beta from the platform. Screen-sharing is only available to a few testers at this point, but it will be rolling out to more people “over the coming days.”

iOS changes

It’s unknown if this feature will make its way to iPhones, especially since FaceTime with screen-sharing already exists (although it is possible). What is arriving to WhatsApp on iOS is Companion Mode, which will allow people to link their account on up to “four devices simultaneously” while “maintaining the same level of privacy”. Meta hasn't made a formal announcement of the new mode, but WABetaInfo does say the patch is officially available from the App Store. 

Connecting phones seems pretty simple from the looks of it. All you have to do is scan a QR Code on one iPhone with WhatsApp open on the other iOS device you want to link. “Chat history will safely be synchronized across” all connected smartphones. Similar to screen-sharing on Android, Companion Mode may not be available upon download; however, the changelog on the App Store listing states the update will release “over the coming weeks.” Be sure to keep an eye out for the patch once it reaches you.

All throughout May, Meta has been pumping out WhatsApp updates like they’re going out of style. It’s been a pretty active month for the platform. Be sure to check out TechRadar’s coverage of these other changes like message editing and the new Chat Lock.

The Asus ROG Ally, the company’s PC gaming handheld, has some impressive specs including an AMD Ryzen Z1 CPU, an XG mobile GPU, and a gorgeous 1080p display. However, its actual performance hasn’t been indicative of what it’s theoretically capable of, until now.

A new set of firmware and driver updates has increased gaming performance by up to 20%, a huge improvement over its launch results. According to YouTuber Dave2D, and reported on by PCGamesN, several of the best PC games saw an immediate increase in framerate after the updates were installed. 

For instance, Red Dead Redemption 2 ran at 41 fps at 720p before, and after it reached an impressive 60 fps. Similarly, Forza Horizon 5 jumped from 45fps to 59fps. However, not every game saw a massive increase, like Cyberpunk 2077, which only went up by 2 fps.

Asus, do better

These are certainly very impressive results from a simple series of firmware and driver updates, better showcasing how powerful the ROG Ally’s specs are. But taking a closer look at what these updates entail and what they don’t, there are still some hang-ups with the handheld.

First, the comparisons were done in 720p resolution, which is quite good but still not taking advantage of the 1080p display that the ROG Ally sports. Not to mention that the framerate would most definitely tank for the before and after results if testing was conducted at the higher framerate. This was also something already pointed out in a Tom’s Guide review of the portable.

Second, even if these results were the same across the resolution board, it doesn’t change the fact that this is how the Asus ROG Ally should have launched. Depending on the model, you’re currently paying $700 for this system (with the cheaper version coming out later this year), which is being sold as having high-end specs that result in superior performance. But the fact that you even need updates for it to approach these claims after the system was made available for pre-order is not a great sign.

Admittedly, it’s better that the updates are released before retail launch, but it still requires buyers to update their systems as soon as they receive them. The fact that the system was in development for at least five years means there should have been some kind of fixes before pre-order models had been shipped out to retailers.

Let’s hope Asus learns from this and does better for the next version of the ROG Ally, as it’s still a solid handheld with plenty of potential.

Quordle FAQs: Everything you need to know

What is Quordle?

Where Wordle challenges you to guess a new five-letter word each day, Quordle presents you with four puzzles to solve. And rather than complete them in turn, you do so simultaneously. You get nine guesses, rather than the six for Wordle, but the rules are otherwise very similar. 

It's played online via the Quordle website and you can also get to it via the Merriam-Webster site, after the dictionary purchased Quordle last year. 

As with Wordle, the answers are the same for every player each day, meaning that you're competing against the rest of the world. And also as with Wordle, the puzzle resets at midnight so you have a fresh challenge each day.

The website also includes a practice mode - which I definitely recommend using before attempting the game proper! - and there are daily stats including a streak count. You also get Quordle Achievements - specific badges for winning a game in a certain number of turns, playing lots of times, or guessing particularly hard words.

Oh, and it's difficult. Really difficult.

What are the Quordle rules?

The rules of Quordle are almost identical to those of Wordle.

1. Letters that are in the answer and in the right place turn green.

2. Letters that are in the answer but in the wrong place turn yellow. 

3. Letters that are not in the answer turn gray…

4. …BUT the word you guess appears in all quadrants of the puzzle at the same time, so an A could turn green in one square, yellow in another and gray in the final two. 

5. Answers are never plural.

6. Letters can appear more than once. So if your guess includes two of one letter, they may both turn yellow, both turn green, or one could be yellow and the other green.

7. Each guess must be a valid word in Quordle's dictionary. You can't guess ABCDE, for instance.

8. You do not have to include correct letters in subsequent guesses and there is no equivalent of Wordle's Hard mode.

9. You have nine guesses to find the Quordle answers.

10. You must complete the daily Quordle before midnight in your timezone.

What is a good Quordle strategy?

Quordle needs to be approached in a different way to Wordle. With four puzzles to solve in nine guesses, you can't blindly throw letters at it and expect to win - you'll stand a far better chance if you think strategically.

That's the case in Wordle too, of course, but it's even more important in Quordle.

There are two key things to remember. 

1. Use several starting words

Firstly, you won't want just a single starting word, but almost certainly two or three starting words. 

The first of these should probably be one of the best Wordle starting words, because the same things that make them work well will apply here too. But after that, you should select another word or possibly two that use up lots more of the most common consonants and that include any remaining vowels.

For instance, I currently use STARE > DOILY > PUNCH. Between them, these three words use 15 of the 26 letters in the alphabet including all five vowels, Y, and nine of the most common consonants (S, T, R, D, L, P, N, C and H). There are plenty of other options - you might want to get an M, B, F or G in there instead of the H, maybe - but something like that should do the trick.

If all goes well, that will give you a good lead on what one or sometimes two of the answers might be. If not, well good luck!

2. Narrow things down

Secondly, if you're faced with a word where the answer might easily be one of several options - for instance -ATCH, where it could be MATCH, BATCH, LATCH, CATCH, WATCH, HATCH or PATCH - you'll definitely want to guess a word that would narrow down those options. 

In Wordle, you can instead try several of those in succession and hope one is right, assuming you have enough guesses left. It's risky, but will sometimes work. Plus, it's the only option in Hard mode. But in Quordle, this will almost certainly result in a failure - you simply don't have enough guesses.

In the scenario above, CLAMP would be a great guess, as it could point the way to four of the seven words in one go.

MSI and Mercedez-AMG Motorspot have partnered together to create the MSI Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport edition gaming laptop, promising a seriously lux gaming laptop for PC gamers and motorsport fans alike.

The new laptop, which was unveiled at Computex 2023 along with a host of other MSI laptops, is the first laptop in a new partnership between the two brands that they hope will continue in the future.

"Mercedes-AMG Motorsport has established a reputation for developing high-performance race cars, while MSI is also renowned for producing cutting-edge hardware that delivers exceptional performance to gamers," Msi says. "Whether on the track or in the game, both drivers and gamers seek out the highest level of performance to achieve their goals and set new records."

The new laptop will feature the latest Intel 13th-generation Core i9-13900H processor, either an Nvidia RTX 4070 or RTX 4060 GPU, up to 64GB DDR5 memory, as well as a 4K OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 coverage, magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis, and other aesthetic features of that integrates both brands into a co-branded product.

The laptop will be incredibly thin and light, coming in at just 19.95mm and 1.99kg, which is really a feat considering that they will also pack in a 99WHr battery to make sure that you can actually take this laptop with you on the go and not run out of juice in like 5 minutes.

More MSI-Mercedes-AMG Motorsport products to come

While this laptop is certainly one that motorsport fans will dig, MSI says that this is the first product of what it hopes will be a long-term partnership.

"MSI and Mercedes-AMG Motorsport recently announced their long-term partnership and introduced their first collaborative product to motorsport fans and PC gamers around the world: the Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport laptop," the company said. "They have also promised that there will be more collaborative products in the future, and both logos will be visible both on the race track and in tech stores."

The price for the MSI Stealth 16 Mercedes-AMG Motorsport edition hasn't been announced yet, but I expect that it will be a fairly pricey item, going off the specs. Once we get a release date for it as well, hopefully we'll get some clarity on pricing and if we're lucky it won't be priced too high to put it out of reach of most motorsport fans.

Bryan Fury is the latest character to join the roster of Tekken 8, but his announcement was far from smooth sailing. Rather than being posted to social media as previous roster debuts have, the announcement for Fury was intended to launch as part of a tournament held over the weekend but resulted in the character being essentially announced twice. 

As reported by VCG, the original announcement for Fury’s debut was intended for launch during this weekend’s Combo Breaker fighting tournament, but the trailer hit an official Instagram account before intended and remained live for enough time for the content to begin circulating across social media and YouTube before it was eventually taken down from Instagram. 

In direct response to the leak, Tekken 8’s series director Katsuhiro Harada pointed the blame at Bandai Namco’s European arm in a now-deleted tweet, stating “That’s why I warned you years ago not to post on a timer. Well, I’m going home now, thanks! Ha ha ha.”

In addition, Tekken 8 producer Michael Murray also took to Twitter to apologize to those who saw the trailer in advance, alongside apologizing to the developers behind the creation of the trailer.

I apologize to the fans who saw that particular thing in not the way @Harada_TEKKEN and I had wanted it to happen. I feel bad for all you guys and also the dev team who gave up weekends to work on it :(May 28, 2023

However, now the trailer is officially out for the new fighter, we can take a look at what Bryan Fury will bring to the ring, and he seems far more brutal and fast-paced than in previous games. 

Tagged as “A wild card for violence and destruction,” it's no surprise that Fury’s moveset is built around fast, hard-hitting mechanics, with obvious hints of his cybernetic enhancements through his brand-new rage art and combat animations. 

There are some obvious changes to his appearance, too, once again reinforcing the idea of him being a psychotic cyborg, such as a newly implemented cybernetic eye that locks onto the target before landing a flying punch. 

There’s a clear emphasis on each character's history in Tekken 8, as shown through their moveset and animation, and Bryan Fury is a welcomed addition to the mix regardless of how many times he gets announced. Bringing the confirmed roster up to a total of 15 characters, there are still a few fan-favorite characters we are yet to see, but with no concrete release date, we’ll just have to wait and see who’s next.

The planned Steam release for the emulator Dolphin was ‘indefinitely postponed’ on May 27, as announced by the creators, stating that “Nintendo issued a cease and desist citing the DMCA against Dolphin’s Steam page.” resulting in the page being removed immediately. 

With emulation being a gray area in terms of legality, Dolphin makes use of the Wii Common Key in the emulator, meaning it's actively bypassing piracy protection measures. 

In a copy of the legal notice reviewed by PC Gamer, Nintendo states that Dolphin uses “cryptographic keys without Nintendo’s authorization and decrypting the ROMs at or immediately before runtime.   

"Thus, use of the Dolphin emulator unlawfully circumvent[s] a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under the Copyright Act.” Which confirms the reasoning behind the takedown.

In addition, a Nintendo spokesperson said to Kotaku “Nintendo is committed to protecting the hard work and creativity of video game engineers and developers.

“This emulator illegally circumvents Nintendo’s protection measures and runs illegal copies of games. Using illegal emulators or illegal copies of games harms development and ultimately stifles innovation. Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of other companies, and in turn expects others to do the same.”

Dolphin is yet to make a statement in response to Nintendo’s claim against their use of the Wii Common Key, and Dolphin will remain off Steam while the case gets hashed out, but its GitHub and website remain unaffected at the time of writing. 

TRG has reached out to Valve for comment, as stated in our original story, but we are yet to receive a reply. We will update both stories should we receive a response.

Hackers have begun abusing a flaw in the WordPad text editor that comes preloaded with the Windows 10 operating system to distribute the Qbot malware, researchers have claimed.

A cybersecurity researcher and a member of Cryptolaemus, going by the alias ProxyLife discovered a new email campaign in which hackers are distributing the WordPad program together with a malicious .DLL.

When WordPad is launched, it will look for certain .DLL files it needs in order to properly run. First, it will look for the files in the same folder it resides, and if it finds them - it will automatically run them, even if those .DLL files are malicious.

DLL hijacking

The practice is usually called “DLL sideloading” or “DLL hijacking” and it’s a known method. Previously, hackers were seen using the Calculator app to do the same thing.

In this particular instance, when WordPad runs the DLL, the malicious file will use an executable called Curl.exe (found in the System32 folder) to download a DLL pretending to be a PNG. That DLL is actually Qbot, an ancient banking trojan that can steal emails to use in more phishing attacks, and initiate the download of additional malware, such as Cobalt Strike, for example.

> This powerful email malware attack uses PDF and WSF files to break your defenses

> These are the best firewalls around

By using legitimate programs, such as WordPad, or Calculator, to run the malicious DLL files, threat actors are hoping to bypass any antivirus programs and remain stealthy during the attack. 

However, as this method requires Curl.exe to be used, it only works on Windows 10 and newer versions, as previous versions did not have this program preinstalled. That doesn’t do much good as older versions are mostly reaching end of support anyway, and users are moving towards Windows 10 and Windows 11. 

Right now, BleepingComputer reports, the QBot operation has moved on to other infection methods in recent weeks.

What do you get when you cross a power charger with a 1TB portable SSD? The iXCharger, a 65W compact charger with 1TB of built-in storage and automated backup features.

A trio of startups, Phihong, Vinpower and Silanna Semiconductor, came up with the novel idea and expect consumers to foot up around $200 (about GBP160, EUR186, AUD306) when it launches later this year. Smaller capacities will be available but more powerful chargers - especially useful if you want to power the Apple MacBook Pro - won’t.

In an email exchange, a spokesperson for the company told me “The unit we are showing at Computex is still a prototype, we anticipate a pilot run out in late June and then full production by August.  With that said, we haven’t finalized the costs to determine pricing yet, but our expectations is to have a market price of between $50 up to $200 depending on the size of the memory from 32GB up to 1TB”. Enough to replace a NAS.

A Type-C connector means that you will be able to use the charger across various devices (laptops, desktops, smartphones) but we don’t know whether that could extend to “dumber” platforms such as smart TV, digital cameras or Android boxes. The charger uses a third-generation GaN technology and a world travel kit with plenty of plug adaptors.

A free app will be available for Android and iOS users to enable automated backup should you not use either Google Drive or Apple iCloud drive.

The end of the line

One can expect the iXCharger to go on sale on popular marketplaces like Amazon and Newegg later this year but there’s a lot of questions still outstanding? What sort of memory is being used and what sort of performance can be expected. Could a future version with Type-C ports that allow data to be transferred be launched? Isn’t the end goal just a tiny laptop docking station located inside a plug? Can the storage be used offgrid (i.e. without connection to a power supply?).

The humble plug has, for decades, been a device fertile for experimentations and projects, some wackier than others. The two that we fondly remember are the Quanta Compute plug which was unveiled to the world, almost eight years ago at Computex and the Sunvell T95P which I reviewed back in 2017. Both of these are complete computers, one running on Windows and the other on Android. And let’s not forget the one that started everything, the Sheeva Plug from Marvell that launched in 2009 and ran on Linux.

I’d love the team behind iXCharger to try something like this as this could prove to be a boon for businesses that want to deploy something quickly and cheaply without having to worry too much about desk space. A PC that fits in a plug and can run Windows 11 Pro would be a great candidate for our best business PC or our best mini PC buying guide. That’s food for thought.

TechRadar is on the ground in Taipei, Taiwan, for the biggest computing event of the year, Computex 2023, and we'll be in the audience for the opening keynote address by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, which is scheduled for May 29, 2023, at 11:00 AM Taipei time (4AM BST), or May 28, 2023, 11PM EST.

The keynote comes off the massive Q1 profit Nvidia reported, powered by new AI hardware powering the latest large language models at Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI like ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, and more.

We don't have anything official about what Huang will say during the address to the throngs gathered in Taipei for the first real in-person Computex event since 2019, but you can be sure that there will be a lot of AI talk, as well as Nvidia Omniverse discussion.

Hot off the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 8GB launch, though, we wouldn't be surprised at all to find that Nvidia announces a release date and pricing for the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti 16GB and Nvidia RTX 4060, both of which Nvidia has said will launch in July.

Could we get other reveals at the event? Almost certainly, but we'll have to see what transpires as Nvidia opens up Computex 2023.

Howdy folks, this is John Loeffler, TechRadar's Components Editor, and I am in Taipei after a grueling 15-hour flight from New York City, but I'm pumped to be here and bring you all the latest from Nvidia's keynote, as well as all the rest of Computex 2023.

I can't say for certain what we'll see in a couple of hours, but I expect that it will be exciting, at least as far as AI is concerned, considering how much Nvidia's GPU hardware is integral to these latest AI advances.

Will we get graphics card talk? I'm almost certain that it will come up, but will we get prices and release dates for the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB and RTX 4060? I sure hope so, but we'll know in a couple of hours from now once the event kicks off.
