  • McFarlane Toys Unveils Three Cyberpunk 2077 Action Figures

    McFarlane Toys Unveils Three Cyberpunk 2077 Action Figures

    Cyberpunk 2077 launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on April 16, and there’s a good chance you’ll be able to pick up a Keanu Reeves/Johnny Silverhand action figure on the same day. McFarlane Toys is launching three different Cyberpunk 2077 action figures in the spring. Two of these figures are of Silverhand, one standing in at seven inches in height and the either at twelve. The seven-inch figure features 22 points of articulation, a guitar, bottle, base, and extra “rock on” hand. The 12-inch figure is sculpted in what McFarlane Toys describes as Silverhand’s “Chrome Rock Concert” pose.

    The third figure is of V, the playable character that characters get to design. This version of V is described as the “default setting,” and is the character you see on the game’s box art. He also stands in at seven inches in height, features 22 points of articulation, and comes packaged with a Kang Tao-Dian SMG, Militech Saratoga Pistol, katana, and base.

    You can see all three figures below:

  • Chrome will start showing error codes to help with debugging

    In an effort to help users debug their systems, Google Chrome will soon get support for error codes that resemble those seen during a Windows blue screen of death (BSOD) crash page.

    By providing Chrome users with these codes, Google will make it easier for them to search online to find help for a variety of different types of crashes. Previously users were left in the dark as to why their browser or a particular tab had crashed, making it difficult to troubleshoot the problem.

    The search giant began working on this new feature in November of last year but error codes are currently under testing in the latest version (v81) of Chrome Canary.

    The error codes themselves will appear on the “Aw, Snap!” page which Chrome shows when a tab crashes and most Chrome users are likely familiar with this page.

    Error codes

    According to the Chromium project source code, 137 error codes are currently configured in Chrome. A full list of all error codes can be found here and the codes cover a wide variety of error types.

    Chrome Canary users can take a look at how these error codes look by navigating to chrome://crash or chrome://kill to trigger a manual tab crash.

    The new feature is currently being tested in Chrome 81 though it may not ship with the final release of the software. Thankfully though, the error codes do appear to a permanent fixture in future Chrome releases.

    Error codes could also be making their way to other Chromium-based browsers such as Brave, Opera and Vivaldi since the feature was proposed by Eric Lawrence who is a software engineer working on Microsoft’s new Chromium-based Edge browser.

  • These ace Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus deals come with a free smartwatch

    These ace Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus deals come with a free smartwatch

    You’ve spent the entirety of Christmas treating family and friends to some big gifts and expensive gestures and now, it’s time to treat yourself. As we enter the new decade, why not make this the year you invest in a smartwatch?

    And if that’s a jump you’ve understandably refused to make due to the pretty high prices, you may well have your head turned by the chance to get one for free. Thanks to a recent promotion, Samsung is currently casually throwing a free Samsung Galaxy Watch active in when you buy a Samsung Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus from a range of retailers.

    Considering the excellent prices floating around right now, that free watch is just a nice addition to two already excellent phones. However, we feel like two deals stand above the rest, both from Three and both packing a huge amount of data.

    You can see these two deals below or head over to our Samsung Galaxy S10 deals and Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus deals guides to see all of your options for this freebie.

    What are the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus like?

    Samsung Galaxy S10:

    The S10 is an excellent smartphone. Fitting perfectly between Samsung’s affordable S10e and its mammoth S10 Plus and Note 10 devices, this phone is the ideal middle ground. You’re getting a high-quality screen, in-screen fingerprint scanner and a powerful battery/processor combo.

    Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus:

    Samsung’s greatest 2019 handset, the S10 Plus is about as good as phones come right now – it’s gone straight to the top of our best smartphone chart. The S10 Plus has a beautiful infinity-O display, in-screen fingerprint scanner, strong battery life and a powerful processor. But obviously with all of these features comes a big price, which is where these affordable offers come into play.
