How to fix a flashing white PlayStation 4 controller
When your PlayStation or peripherals do things you have never seen, it’s understandable you would get worried. The DualShock controller light doesn’t usually flash white. There are two main reasons you might see the flashing white light on your DualShock controller: either the battery is dying, or the controller failed to connect to your PlayStation 4. Both of these things are fixable; we just need to troubleshoot the problems.
Products used in this guide
Replace problem cables: AmazonBasics PlayStation 4 Controller Charging Cable ($12 at Amazon)
Replacement controller: DualShock 4 Wireless Controller ($46 at Amazon)
Check your USB cable
USB cables can be fragile. One of the most straightforward problems to fix is replacing your old USB charging cord and replacing it with shiny new ones.

How to watch all the Star Wars movies in the right order
There are different ways to watch the battle of Jedi and Sith, of Empire and Rebels, but they are all available to try on Disney Plus.
For the last 40 years, we have been consuming Star Wars movies in any way we could. With the release of the latest trilogy and the advent of digital streaming through Disney+, we now have a whole new generation ready and willing to watch the entire saga in the best way possible.
There are several different ways that Star Wars fans can watch the entire saga. You may want to watch the main Skywalker Saga, or add the anthology movies — Solo and Rogue One — for a more completed viewing experience. There is no wrong way to consume your Star Wars, but we have some ideas on how to make the experience better.
Machete Order (recommended)
This is likely my favorite way of introducing people to Star Wars. It’s the way I did it for my children, and they seemed to enjoy it. If you think of the first six episodes as the story of Anakin Skywalker, then the… 閱讀全文

The Scuf vantage 2 is the best controller I’ve ever used, and I have used a lot of controllers in my time.

I’ve spent several weeks and hundreds of hours using the Vantage 2 that Scuf sent me for review, and it’s easily the nicest controller I’ve used for the PlayStation 4. Let’s deep dive into what makes it so good.

You can’t print money, but you can save money on this awesome 3D printer
If it’s good enough for the armed forces, it’s good enough for me.
Despite some bumps earlier in the year, LulzBot has been making quality printers for a long time now. The LulzBot Mini 2 is the companies most compact printer, but it still offers all of the same features as its big brother, the Taz 6. With an extra thick PEI bed and an auto-leveling system that is second to none, the Mini 2 rarely fails any print you ask it to make.
As I mentioned over on my review, I printed prints on this printer at layer heights, I would never have believed could produce such good results. At 0.3mm layer heights, it looked just as good as other printers at 0.1mm. All the prints were beautiful and required almost no post-processing to look fantastic painted.

The LulzBot Mini 2 is a printer that requires almost no effort to get right. From the first print to the last, the Mini 2 produces qu… 閱讀全文

Call of Duty: Mobile is here and it’s great
CoD: Mobile is a fully-fledged Call of Duty experience.
Activision has given us an excellent mobile game based upon the hit franchise Call of Duty.
In case you haven’t played video games in the last two decades, Call of Duty is a first-person shooter with a substantial team-based component. Call of Duty has had several huge successes — games like Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops are classics — and they are hoping to bring that success to a mobile platform. The mobile game will feature many of the same game modes, maps, and weapons from all across the franchise, while also being a far friendlier mobile experience than previous iterations.
Lock and load
Call of Duty: Mobile
Free at the Play Store
Take the fight anywhere
CoD: Mobile is an excellent addition to the Call of Duty family, and the Battle Royale is going to be extremely popular. We all just need to hope that controller support is coming.
