An imposing personality on the court, Aryna Sabalenka can tear her opponents apart with stinging groundstrokes. She is also the owner of arguably the biggest serve women’s tennis has ever seen.

The world number two ruthlessly dismantled all her opponents in Melbourne to become the only second player since 2013 to defend the Australian Open title. But not many people know that her glorious triumph at the Australian Open, where she didn’t lose a single set in seven matches, was built in Dubai. In the…
In October 2022, when I first reviewed the RTX 4090, I called it “both a complete waste of money and the most powerful graphics card ever made.” That’s even more true now that it was more than a year ago. The AI boom shortly after the launch of the RTX 4090, combined with some international restrictions on the GPU, has caused prices to skyrocket to unattainable places, moving the affordability from unlikely to basically impossible.

Of the three games available for no additional cost with a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription this February, the best game isn’t the highest-profile one. A lot of attention is going to Foamstars, the odd multiplayer game Square Enix launched free on PS Plus, but the real gem of February 2024’s PS Plus Essential lineup is Rollerdrome from Roll7 and Private Division. First released for PS5 and PC in August 2022, I previously described this game as Max Payne meets Skate. Essentially, Rollerdrome is a sports combat game where players must roller-skate around and do tricks in order to accrue ammo…
The UAE has sent five automatic bakeries to the Egyptian city of Al Arish, as a preliminary to their entry into the Gaza Strip, as part of the Gallant Kinght 3 humanitarian operation to support the people of Palestine.
