Will you dominate the playing field or quiver before the opposing team? Originally announced last January, Nock is an upcoming multiplayer VR sports game in which two teams composed of three players go head-to-head using hyper-colored bows and arrows. But here’s the catch: instead of shooting each other, players use the weapon to knock, or should I say “nock,” a large ball into the opposing team’s net.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Just over a month ago Intel pulled the trigger on the rest of its 12th generation "Alder Lake" Core desktop processors, adding no fewer than 22 new chips. This significantly fleshed out the Alder Lake family, adding in the mid-range and low-end chips that weren't part of Intel's original, high-end focused launch. Combined with the launch of the rest of the 600 series chipsets, this finally opened the door to building cheaper and lower-powered Alder Lake systems.

Many European countries have opened their borders to Ukrainian refugees , who have fled the country in droves to escape Russia's invasion. It's an undeniably positive move, offering help and safety to the one million (and counting) Ukrainians who've crossed the borders in a time when they need it most. However, as The Daily Show host Trevor Noah points out, this huge sympathetic response to Ukraine's refugees also highlights a significant failing: Europe's markedly less welcoming attitude toward

Apple's Maps and Weather apps now mark Crimea as part of Ukraine when accessed outside of Russia. It appears the company has quietly updated its stance on the territorial dispute. Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine may have something to do with it. Previously, Apple's apps tried to sidestep the issue by refusing to record Crimea as part of any country when accessed in most places.

In case you haven’t noticed, the age of electric vehicles is upon us. You’re likely seeing more EVs on the road every day, and you might even be a tad envious of your EV-owning friends who’ll never have to pump gas again. If you’re not yet fantasizing about living the electric lifestyle or all the cool things you could cram into a frunk, chances are you soon will be — and most EV companies are banking on it.

Typically, laptops are not synonymous with power and performance. There are exceptions, of course, but they’re best relegated to portability and on-the-go use, whether that involves doing some work or gaming. Given the choice, most resource-intensive tasks should be done on a desktop, thanks to more powerful hardware. At least that’s been the consensus for […].

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?

Promoting her ongoing Future Nostalgia tour, singer Dua Lipa dropped by The Tonight Show to chat about her "lazy" dance that went viral in 2018 for all the wrong reasons. Fortunately, as she told host Jimmy Fallon, the sting of millions of people mocking her moves now feels a little less sharp, and in fact has become a learning experience. "It was kind of like, 'Oh, she looks like she's trying to put her shoe on in a rush or something,'" Lipa said of the widespread reaction to her dance.
