Why Another Supply-Chain Crunch Could Hit Automation OEMs in 2026

2025 has been a year ripe with uncertainty for both industrial automation OEMs and their customers. A cataclysmic shift in US trade policy led to a market wide mentality of ‘wait and see’. For automation OEMs, this has manifested broadly as delayed orders from customers rather than outright cancellations. As we approach 2026, these delays could coalesce as a ‘pop’ in orders. This, coupled with the reduction of interest rates expected through the rest of the year, has created conditions for a pot...

The greatest game that Rockstar ever made is now less than $6

Over a decade after its release, Max Payne 3 remains one of the greatest games in Rockstar’s back catalog. Red Dead Redemption is the classic western epic. Grand Theft Auto 5 has basically taken over the world. And GTA 6 looks extremely promising. But the slow-motion, third-person shooter with tons of style and endless flair remains Rockstar’s best if most underloved masterwork. And now its yours for less than $6. Max Payne, min price (sorry).

Experts believe the first use of clay in pottery dates back to 14,000 BC, while clay bricks were used for the first time in 7,000 BC. The fact we are still using them to this day shows what an

Drink spiking is on the rise - But how can you avoid it?

Buying a drink for someone in a club or bar should be a fairly innocuous gesture, however, the issue of drink spiking has slipped under the radar as an epidemic in Britain. A crime survey by ITV in 2014 showed that one in ten people has had their drink tampered with, and Swansea University claim that one in three of their students have endured the same treatment. Although it is impossible to be sure of the numbers and statistics around drink spiking, it is clearly a huge problem which needs to be dealt with.
