Windows 11 is already known for its strict hardware requirements, which Microsoft hasn’t let up on since the OS first released back in 2021. The TPM 2.0 security module requirement has disqualified a lot of older PCs from upgrading, but
Google has started rolling out ChromeOS 133 for Chromebooks, an update that includes several minor improvements to accessibility, screen recording, and Bluetooth microphone support.
According to the community announcement, the ChromeOS 133 update w
How many Steam Decks has Valve sold so far? The company isn’t saying, except that it’s “multiple millions.” We know the Steam Deck is a smash hit, but new research estimates give us a better picture of the new handheld PC market, combined with competing devices like the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.
512GB is a staggering amount of storage, especially when compared to the “roomy” 40GB hard drive I used to have on my old PC. Today you can pick up a 512GB card smaller than your thumbnail for a great price. Amazon has a Silicon Power 512GB MicroSD card for just $29.97

Proving that truly no IP is safe from modern reboot culture, Atari’s Breakout is back. The upcoming version of the simple 1976 brick-smashing hit rotates the playing field by 90 degrees and adds auto-scrolling, neon effects, power-ups and local co-op. In other words, Breakout Beyond is the
If you're a music fan of a certain age, there's a good chance MTV Unplugged has special place in your heart. With the first episode airing in 1989, over the decades the series has produced some of the most memorable live performances in history. Who could forget Nirvana's set, recorded less than a year before Kurt Cobain would tragically take his own life in 1994, or when Alice in Chains played one of its final shows with former lead vocalist Layne Staley. There are too many memorable episode

One thing writers and multinational consumer electronics corporations have in common is we both need a good editor. Or, failing that, at least a good spell-checker. OnePlus somehow missed that step when launching the OnePlus Watch 3, which had its scheduled Tuesday launch abruptly halted because of an embarrassing typo. On the back of the watch, early buyers discovered that their $330 smartwatch was "meda in China." As a result, you'll now have to wait until April to buy the device.

Microsoft is delaying one of the major first-party games it had lined up for 2025. The company said during its big annual Xbox showcase last June that its Fable reboot would arrive this year. But that’s no longer the case as Xbox has pushed back the fantasy RPG to 2026.
