The Scythe Mugen 6 Black Edition CPU cooler is compatible with Intel and AMD's latest chips and delivers impressive cooling with its six-heat-pipe design and two Wonder Tornado 120 fans. If the hardware lineup doesn't sound like much, know this fan moves a lot of air. The MSRP is $75, but you can now get one from Woot for 60% off, down to $30 for a limited time.

I was genuinely annoyed when Pocket disappeared because it was one of those apps I never thought much about until I no longer had it. I tried different apps that promised to fill the gap, but most felt too complicated or lacked the simplicity I wanted. Eventually, I stopped looking at the usual cloud-based options and started exploring what was available in the self-hosted world. That's when I came across Karakeep.

There's nothing like being put on the spot as a D&D dungeon master when your players ask to talk to someone you haven't made notes for. And you know you can't just make up a random name and backstory, because your players will somehow make that one NPC a bigger part of the story than your planned villain.

The WSL’s first official fantasy game is putting player photos front and center, which is less common than you might expect. | Image: WSL Football Most fantasy sports leagues suffer the same problem: retention. Leagues play out over months-long seasons, require regular attention, and can punish players severely for missing even a single week. I've started Fantasy Premier League (FPL) multiple times, but never finished a season. That's a problem for any fantasy league, but especially so for a new game in a growing sport, hoping to attract new fans who might grow along with it. And so when Manchester United take on London City Lionesses on the opening day of the Women's Super League (WSL) season next month, fans will have a chance to compete in a fantasy league that's a little differen …Read the full story at The Verge.

After Microsoft came out of its Copilot-driven stupor earlier this year, we've seen the company focus its attention back on Windows 11. We've already seen the start of its big Windows K2 rollout, which aims to tackle some of the operating system's biggest pain points. Now, it seems the company is also taking note of the privacy concerns people have had with Windows 11, as it is adding a way to disable microphone and webcam access to certain Win32 apps.

Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR are all working with Nvidia to put together $500 billion in financing to turn compute into an asset class."This is really the first time that technology chips have become an investable asset class," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said to CNBC. "These are revenue-generating assets now. They're productive, they're long-lived, they're fungible, they're flexible.""This is the very beginning, like what it was whe …Read the full story at The Verge.

As a PC gamer, I always want to get the most out of my graphics card. In this economy, I don't really want to upgrade from my RTX 3080 to any new GPU, at least not for the next two years. So, ensuring I squeeze every last ounce of performance from my Ampere card is always on my mind.

The handheld gaming market is vastly different today. While there are plenty of options, their sticker prices feel like they belong in a different league than two years ago. It’s tempting to treat this supply-demand blip as a temporary situation and assume that MSRPs will drift down once component costs settle. That’s not how this plays out.

The Apple AirTag may be a jack-of-all-trades - people use it for keeping track of keys, suitcases, backpacks, purses - but I think the most logical use case for it, by far, is keeping track of your pet. I attach it to my corgi Jelly's collar via a matching silicone holder. Have I ever once truly needed it to find her, and do I think she'd ever run off on me? No - she's a pretty loyal herding dog, so she likes to keep an eye on her parents - but just like whatever else you may attach an AirTag to, there's a significant chance that the one time you truly need it, you'll be thanking God that you had it. (Kind of like insurance.)I think it'd b …Read the full story at The Verge.

Pixel phones have never been battery champions for me, but I had mostly learned to live with it. I blamed the usual suspects without realizing that some of Google’s own features were quietly adding to the drain. Once I started digging through their settings and disabled a few things I barely used, the difference was noticeable almost immediately.
