After more than a decade of service, Windows 10, once pitched as the last monolithic version of Windows ever, is just hours away from officially reaching end of life (EOL) status, which Consumer Reports deemed a national security threat. That means no more technical support or free security updates (with caveats) despite a petition to compel

Here’s a secret that every DIY PC builder knows — piecing together a system is not that difficult. The real challenge comes in selecting the parts, and of course some setups require more effort than others, like a small form factor (SFF) build. But for the most part, building a PC is easy. It can also be affordable, especially if you take

If you want to buy an Xbox console, be it an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, chances are good you can waltz into your local Target or Walmart and pick one up.

Just a few weeks after introducing AI agents into Office 365 apps, Microsoft is already testing news ways to bolster the integration of Copilot in Windows 11.

Battlefield 6 has made an explosive entrance onto the gaming scene, quickly becoming EA’s most-played title on Steam and becoming the #4 most-played game on the platform overall. Battlefield performing this well after such a long dormant period is impressive, but especially when one considers how even Free To Play titles like EA’s own Apex

Battlefield 6 is out, if you haven’t heard. Capitalizing on gamer dissatisfaction with recent Call of Duty releases, the new Battlefield title offers a tightly-optimized military shooting experience that many are calling a return to form for the series—even if it is a bit safe and unambitious in some ways. The launch isn’t completely without

You may have missed out on Amazon’s two-day Prime Big Deal Days event last event, but don’t go kicking yourself in regret.

One of the big features that AMD fans boast about when extolling the virtues of the Ryzen platform is forward compatibility. This very writer bought an ASRock X570 Taichi motherboard way back in 2019 for the launch of AMD’s Ryzen 3000 series, and was still using that motherboard (with a 5800X3D installed) until this year. Socket AM5 may or

This morning, we spotted a PC build that looked as cool as ice—and according to the person who built this refined high-end beast, that’s an accurate description of how it runs. The build, referred to as both an “Icy Build” and the more grandiose “King 95”, is a standard tower PC powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an ASUS TUF NVIDIA GeForce

Microsoft’s Xbox gaming division is on shaky ground, as the company has increased prices for both its hardware and Game Pass subscription service while major vendors like Costco have quit carrying the consoles altogether.

Xbox is getting absolutely battered this console generation, but Microsoft still insists a next-gen AMD-powered Xbox is in the works—and the rumor mill is now pointing toward a 2027 release window for the next-gen Xbox with AMD’s “Magnus” APU within.

A financially-motivated hacking group, tracked by Microsoft as Storm-2657, has so far successfully compromised employee accounts at three U.S. universities to steal their salaries in what campaign experts are deeming “payroll pirate” attacks.

We’ve uncovered bits and pieces of Samsung’s long-anticipated extended reality Galaxy XR headset so far, but a massive leak dump, including final renders, key specs, as well as a look at the software, has left little to the imagination.

Corsair’s newest desk chair has high unstated hopes of unseating Herman Miller (and its BFF Logitech) as the go-to option for creators and professionals who need more comfort that what is usually found on racing-themed gaming chairs. That’s because the Elgato Embrace, as it’s called, was built from the ground-up for “anyone who spends serious

With the aid of a multinational network of radio telescopes, scientists have been able to detect the lowest-mass dark object ever found in the universe.

Listen here, Mac. If you want to be wealthy, you can work hard, grind your whole life, and make wise investments that you hope will pay off in time for retirement, or get lucky and pick a set of winning lottery numbers.

Today is Battlefield 6 launch day and while the minimum and even recommended system requirements to play on PC are not all that stringent, you can also play the title on NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW cloud gaming service.

Earlier this year, Synology made headlines for all the wrong reasons when it announced it would be limiting support for third-party drives in its 2025 NAS lineup.
