The cruelty of black hat hackers seems to know no bounds as they operate with complete disregard for ethical considerations. Just a few days ago, we reported on a vicious ransomware attack on a kidney dialysis organization, and prior to that, a cyberattack forced the closure of a business that had existed for over 150 years. Now, a new report

As part of the grand finale of August’s planetary parade, Mars will appear very close to the crescent moon on the night of Tuesday, August 26, 2025. To catch the breathtaking view, find a place to see the western horizon quickly after sunset, as it’ll disappear after about an hour.

August has been a fascinating month for stargazers, showcasing

Meanwhile, there are some enticing discounts on laptops featuring GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs, too. Here are some

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been selling like hotcakes, with interested gamers still encountering empty retail shelves. It seems as if players aren’t the only ones having difficulty getting their hands on Nintendo’s newest hardware, however, as reports continue to trickle out indicating developers are struggling to secure development kits for

We’ve seen PC cases with built-in displays (even holographic ones) as part of the side panel, but those are relatively few and far between. However, Corsair just made it easy to add a customizable display to your PC gaming and/or streaming battle station with its new Xeneon Edge, an expansive 14.5-inch touchscreen panel with flexible mounting

Samsung is expanding its Galaxy Tab S10 lineup with a more affordable Lite model that boasts an upgraded processor, long battery life, and an in-box S Pen, though its appeal in a sea of cheaper Android tablets will ultimately depend on how pricing shakes out.

Intel’s Panther Lake is the company’s next-generation series of mobile processors that will succeed Arrow Lake in the mid-range “H” class as well as Lunar Lake in the odd “V” in-between power class. We won’t be seeing Panther Lake products launching for at least a couple more months, but there are already motherboards and laptops popping up

Apple has filed a lawsuit in California against a former employee and Oppo, accusing them of conspiring to steal trade secrets connected to Apple Watch development.

The lawsuit alleges that Chen Shi, its former employee, worked at Apple from January 2020 to June 2025 as a Sensor System Architect. Apple claimed that Shi had signed an employment

Windows 10’s imminent sunset on October 14th has been the subject of much ink lately. Windows 11 is a free upgrade, but some users wish to stick with the older version due to device or app incompatibility, fear of a botched upgrade, or just dislike for the migration process of a newer OS. There’s an additional year-long lifeline, in the form

Gaming handhelds are super hot at the moment, with numerous offerings from big players such as Asus, MSI and Valve. While designs for these devices have mostly coalesced around a singular display flanked on both sides by buttons and joysticks, some companies opting for something more adventurous. AYN is one such company. It’s readying the

The iPhone has gone several years without any blockbuster design changes, but Apple may shake things up with its offerings over the next three years according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. It’s exactly what the company needs to generate some fresh excitement over its most important product line, especially since the company has struggled to

Japanese serial leaksman 188号 just posted up two mobile CPU roadmaps: one for Intel CPUs, and one for AMD. Chalk this one up as half-leak, half-rumor, because these clearly aren’t official slides from Intel or AMD, but rather seem to be either someone’s attempt to anonymize information that they were given in confidence, or simply wishful

There have been many reports on AMD CPUs dying, with burnt pins on the socket. It’s not frequent or particularly widespread, but naturally it caused concern, particularly among gamers, as the CPUs in question were often Ryzen 7 7800X3D and 9800X3D models. Today, an AMD representative issued a fairly clear statement on that matter.

ASRock is going green with its newest L-type 12V-2×6 PCI Express cable connector, though it has nothing to do with being energy-conscious or adding a splash of color to your gaming build. Instead, the new cables sport a series of green tips designed to help ensure that users fully insert the cable ends into their power supply unit (PSU) and

As far as Google is concerned, the absolute best way to experience Android on a tablet is with its own Pixel Tablet. Yes, let’s feign surprise together. Marketing aside, it is actually a great device, and if you agree with Google’s assessment — or just want a fantastic deal on an affordable slate — you’ll be delighted to know that it’s now

SK hynix says it has begun mass production of its 321-layer 2-terabit (Tb) quad-level cell (QLC) NAND flash memory, which marks the first implementation of QLC NAND to employ more than 300 layers. Notably, SK hynix demoed 321-layer 1tb triple-level cell (TLC) chips a couple of years ago. The upshot of “setting a new benchmark in NAND density”

If, like Carried Underwood, you’ve been waiting all day for Sunday night and, in the immortal words of Hank Williams Jr., are ready for some football, then you know that the only thing left is to make sure you have a proper TV to catch the on-field action this season. What if you don’t? No need to fret because we found some fantastic deals

We love tiny Chinese system vendors here at HotHardware. Companies like Ayaneo, Beelink, Geekom, and GPD make some wild, wonderful, and wacky hardware that’s just fun to play with because they often push the boundaries of what’s possible. Minisforum is doing exactly that with its upcoming MS-S1 MAX, a micro-workstation sporting AMD’s powerful
