That’s because torrenting exposes you to unknown files from anonymous sources. While accidentally downloading copyright-infringing files is a real danger, it’s not the only risk. When you share P2P, your activity becomes available to the public – if you don’t believe us, check out this website (opens in new tab) to see what’s been downloaded on your IP address – so staying anonymous is a must.

According to the report, the plan was for the A16 Bionic chip powering the iPhone 14 Pro to offer a “generational leap” for the GPU, including support for ray tracing, but Apple’s engineers were “too ambitious with adding new features.” This led to prototype units drawing more power than simulations suggested, which would have both made handsets too hot and hit battery life hard. This, the report claims, is why the increase in performance between the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 Pro is on the incremental side....

For years I’ve heard nothing but good things about Nintendo’s premium controller option, but I stuck with my Joy-Cons for a few reasons. First, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is a somewhat significant investment costing about $60 on sale, and as much as $75 at full retail price. Furthermore, I predominately play my Switch in handheld mode so wasn’t convinced I’d get enough use from a Pro Controller to justify the cost....

For those who don’t remember, Pena won their first fight in shockingly short manner, with a second-round submission of Nunes. Pena’s win started with her boxing tricks, but it was a rear-naked choke that finished the evening. Nunes attributed her loss to knee injuries, and she still holds her UFC featherweight championship, which isn’t on the line. The UFC 277 co-main event is a battle between Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France for Moreno’s Flyweight Interim Championship....

Wolves most likely didn’t expect to be in the relegation zone almost 10 games into the season, but the side’s poor start to the season cost manager Bruno Lage his job. The club are still without a new head coach and come into this match under the leadership of caretaker manager Steve Davis. Under his temporary watch, Wolves were well beaten by Chelsea last weekend, but a home match against newly-promoted Nottm Forest is a very different proposition....
