ASUS has officially released its first-ever soundbar designed for gamers. The ROG Gjallar is now up for sale in the US market. The company first showed off the ASUS ROG Gjallar gaming soundbar in early July. It is built with team-based online games in mind. A separate control unit comes with built-in microphones and a small screen. Players can change the volume, switch between sound modes, and pick different input sources using this panel. What makes this soundbar different is its voice technology. ASUS says it can separate player voices from game sounds. It also reduces unwanted background noise like keyboard clicks or fan hums.

This gives a more three-dimensional sound experience. The subwoofer is wireless and has a 65-watt output. It uses its own 5GHz connection to stay in sync with the main unit and avoid an...

Rockstar Games finally gave fans a proper glimpse of Grand Theft Auto 6 . The developer premiered a 26-minute “Extended Look” on Netflix — 6 hours before it hit YouTube. No commentary, no captions. Just pure gameplay from the game that’s been generating buzz for years. The GTA 6 preview focuses on Vice City, a gritty urban hub in the fictional Florida-inspired state of Leonida. At the center are the two protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Camino, a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style duo whose relationship deepens based on your choices. You can switch control between them mid-mission, much like in GTA 5, though the developers have already said you can choose to skip developing their bond if you prefer. Visually, Grand Theft Auto 6 is stunning. Characters have photorealistic faces and lifelike movements. Background NPCs show a range of body shapes and sizes — something video games have rarely done well. You can watch TV in your apartment, pet or scold a dog, grab drinks fro...

Metrobank has upgraded its mobile banking app with several new safety tools designed to fight the growing problem of digital fraud. The bank introduced these changes after reviewing recent industry data. According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), more than three out of four reported cyber fraud losses last year came from scams that trick people into giving away their personal information. These include phishing, identity theft, and account takeovers. The Metrobank app now has a 24-hour hold on all transactions whenever a user changes important details like their password or switches to a new device. This gives account holders a full day to spot any suspicious activity before money can be moved out. Customers can also freeze part or all of their balance directly from the app. Any amount that is locked cannot be used for payments or transfers until the user turns off the lock. This is meant to keep funds safe even if someone else gets hold of the account or card...
