Mandatory PlayStation 4 update 1.70 coming April 30th

Sony has confirmed that mandatory PlayStation 4 firmware update 1.70 will be released on April 30th.
1.70 will add the ShareFactory video editing app and also will give gamers the ability to disable HDCP video signal copyright protection, a highly anticipated move.

ShareFactory allows gamers to add audio, filters and more to their gaming and other videos.

In addition, the update will let users save screenshots, photos and videos to USB drives.

Don't you just love how AfterDawn makes PS3/PS4 firmware updates sound inherently sinister?

We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
