Even though Bill Gates never actually said that (despite often being attributed as doing so), there was actually a time when such a paltry amount of memory was common.

The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with 256GB of storage onboard. That’s an 8x improvement over the original Switch, but pardon us if we’re not exactly impressed considering that current-generation games on other platforms basically start at about 60GB.

It has managed to carve a place for itself in this crowded segment, raking in big time revenue for its publisher, NetEase.

For the longest time, Amazon’s tablet and TV devices used a slimmed, somewhat locked-down variant of Android called Fire OS. This was useful for end users for general familiarity and ease of use, and also for techies, who found the devices easy to hack to add functionality. All things must change and evolve though, and to that end, Amazon

If you haven’t heard, Intel’s graphics cards are actually good. However, the veracity of that reality strongly depends on your system’s CPU.

We all know that AMD and NVIDIA will continue fleshing out their latest generation graphic card lineups based on RDNA 4 and Blackwell, respectively. Case in point, NVIDIA this week released its GeForce RTX 5060 Ti to the wild, and a non-Ti variant probably isn’t far behind. For AMD, it’s largely assumed that a Radeon RX 9060 XT is next on

The GeForce RTX 5090 has been rare to spot at retail (leading to things like NVIDIA’s Priority Access Program), which makes the sighting of a version with an old school blower-style cooler design even more of a rarity. If you asked any gamer if they’d like a GPU with a noisier blower-style cooler and no aesthetics, they’d probably say no.

In a recent study, scientists sounded the alarm on the vulnerability of DNA data, particularly those obtained through next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS), against nefarious hackers.

The last few weeks have been more chaotic than Nintendo might have liked after fully taking the wraps off the Switch 2.
