 Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 review: $549 price and performance look decent on paper

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 lands at the upper end of what used to be the mainstream price segment, but we strongly doubt the $549 MSRP will be in effect any time soon, outside of a limited number of cards. In fact, the entire consumer GPU market is in a bad state right now as far as pricing and availability go.

How to clean all the screens in your home

Whether you’re talking about the screen of an old laptop or that brand new OLED TV you just bought, all displays get dusty and dirty over time. You may be hesitant to give the screens in your home a thorough cleaning; the fact there are so many products claiming to do it best certainly doesn’t help.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 review: Basically a 4070 Ti that’s better at 4K

I'll cut right to the chase: If you're an RTX 4070 owner looking to upgrade to NVIDIA's latest video cards, the $549 RTX 5070 won't be much different than what you're used to. Aside from DLSS 4's ability to generate multiple extra frames, the 5070 is practically the same as the 4070 Ti in our testing (and in some cases it's worse). So if you're already c

Show HN: Appstat – Process Monitor for Windows

Hey HN, I made a Windows process monitor for app developers and advanced end users. I wanted a taskmgr system-level graph view per app. Windows procmon, while capable, has always been tedious to set up (esp. if not used often). That's pretty much the whole idea behind the app--to simplify app-level monitoring, to make it easy. I hope some of you find it useful!
