Step-by-step guide: How to install Counter-Strike on your Android device
Since publishing our story about how to make Counter-Strike for PC run on your Android phone or tablet, we’ve received a smorgasbord of messages asking for help on how to install the game.
Well, dear readers and fellow recovering Counter-Strike addicts, ask and you shall receive: Here’s our step-by-step guide — with screenshots and accompanying annotations — on how to get one of the most popular PC games of all time running on your Android device.
1. Use your PC to download the Steam launcher from the gaming platform’s website. Be sure to download the appropriate installation file for your operating system. If you already have Steam installed, you can proceed to step four.

2. Install the Steam launcher, then create a Steam account.

3. Next, run Steam, and then type “counter-strike” in the search bar.
4. Buy and install the game that’s highlighted in the screenshot below. Once the installation is complete, you should find the Steam directory in your computer’s hard drive (drive C:, by default).

5. OK, now on to your Android device. Use your device’s browser to download the latest versions of the CS16Client and Xash3D apps. The link for CS16Client is here, while Xash3D can be found here.
6. Install the CS16Client and Xash3D apps on your device.
7. Use a USB cable to connect your Android device to the computer where Steam is installed.
8. Create a folder called “xash” in your phone’s SD card directory.

9. Transfer the “cstrike” and “valve” folders from your Steam directory (usually under C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life) to the xash folder in your phone’s SD card.
10. Run the CS16Client app. Untick the box next to “Enable ZBots bots,” then tick “Enable YaPB bots” and tap “LAUNCH CS16-CLIENT!”.
That’s it! Launching the client will bring up a screen that looks like this:
At this point, you might be asking: “Okay, so now what?” Now comes the fun part.
1. To start a multiplayer game against AI opponents (a.k.a. bots), click on “Multiplayer,” then select “LAN game.”

2. Choose “Create game” next and select the map you want to play on.

3. Once everything is in order, hit “Ok” and you’re all set.

Firefox ad reunites all your favorite memes from decades ago
The Numa Numa Guy, Annoying Orange, and Chocolate Rain are back!
Before Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Skibidi Toilet, the early internet was populated by charismatic personalities looking to make their presences felt in a land that didn’t have a lot of rules yet. As early users, we danced to “Dragostea din tei,” belted out “Chocolate Rain,” and copied “Shoes” word-for-word. Today, Firefox is bringing all those good memories back for a grand reunion.
In a new ad, the web browser featured ten of the biggest stars of the early internet including the aforementioned Numa Numa Guy, Tay Zonday, and Shoes’ Kelly. You can also see Annoying Orange, Chuck Testa, Overly Attached Girlfriend, Bad Luck Brian, Where the Hell is Matt?, the Apparently Kid, and the Success Kid.
Now, this isn’t just a reunion. The ad has a clear message about today’s most concerning issue: AI. Everything has “built-in AI, always asking, asking, asking,” as the Annoying Orange said.
“They make money by following us, and somehow, I’m the creepy one?” the Overly Attached Girlfriend asked.
All these famous personalities are asking what happened to the internet today. Obviously, the big takeaway is that we should all go back to Firefox.
Compared to other browsers, Firefox has a lot of built-in features that offer a lot of control for users. For one, it has its own VPN for privacy. Secondly, reflecting the ad’s message against AI, the browser has a toggle to minimize AI features.

Apple Music is getting a revamp. In one of the tamer things going on with the brand today, Apple has introduced a new design language for its native music streaming platform.
In the midst of all the hubbub surrounding the iPhone Duo, Apple released a change in the visual identity of Apple Music. Rather than a static logo, the platform’s newest evolution offers a dynamic look that melds Liquid Glass and the power of sound together.
Confirmed through a behind-the-scenes video, Apple says that the new aesthetic was made with practical effects. Music producer Fred Again and NEST Acoustics submerged the platform’s logo in a tank of mineral oil and creating ripples with sound. The new language matches well with the chrome aesthetic typical of today’s trends and… well, Liquid Glass, of course.
Apple says that the more ripple-filled version will play before longer content like concert recordings (similar to Netflix’s startup stinger). Meanwhile, a black-and-white version will replace the app’s icon currently colored red and white. Current previews show off a simple logo, but it’s unknown whether Apple is adding a but more elements when the final version drops.
The updated version will debut for users after next week’s iOS 27.2 and macOS 27.2 updates.
