The new Plex app for mobile arrived only a day ago, but user forums and the Plex subreddit are blowing up with complaints about buggy performance, missing features, and a cluttered, confusing interface.
Yes, all this sounds familiar, although it’s not yet clear if we’re seeing a typical rough landing for an app revamp or a

As someone who reviews gaming keyboards, I can confidently say that most of the driver/manager apps that come with them are terrible. They’re often slow, bloated, and trying to do way too much. But I’ve yet to encounter one that filled up my storage with 50 GB of mildly racy anime b

If you're looking to upgrade your PC's storage, this budget-oriented SSD from Crucial is now at its lowest-ever price.

At its Vision 2025 conference, Intel announced that its 18A process node has entered risk production, a crucial milestone. This comes as the company gets ready to ramp up production of the upcoming Panther Lake chips and signifies the final steps of the 'five nodes in four years' plan started by former CEO Pat Gelsinger.

Japan chipmaker Rapidus is preparing to launch pilot production of 2nm-class wafers using gate-all-around transistors later this month, with first wafers expected by July and full-scale manufacturing targeted for 2027.

If you ever needed a definitive example of how money doesn’t necessarily buy you success or taste, take a look at Amazon’s studio arm. The mega-retailer’s production division, now known as Amazon-MGM, has been making movies for more than a decade. Very few of the entries in its lineup have been world-beaters, but that hasn’t deterred the outfit from persisting. The New Yor

I appreciate developing ROCm into something competitive with CUDA would require a lot of work, both internally within AMD and with external contributions to the relevant open source libraries.
However the amount of resources at stake is incredible. The delta between NVIDIA's value and AMD's is bigger than the annual GDP of Spain. Even if they needed to hire a few thousand engineers at a few million in comp each, it'd still be a good investment.
