The Nintendo Switch Online service has a collection of classic Nintendo game releases readily available for everyone to play. Depending on whether one gets the Expansion Pass or not, there is a large selection of retro games to play that people have loved over the years. While the Nintendo GameCube classics section recently started alongside the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, the company has plans to add more GameCube titles to the service for subscribers to have access to. But for Nintendo fans to really take advantage of the service, and for more people to join, Nintendo needs to add more multiplayer GameCube titles to the library of Switch Online classics.

This all-in-one productivity tool has changed how I manage my work

With a note-taking app, a task management solution, and documents scattered across various clouds, my digital workspace felt like a chaotic collection of half-solutions.

3 reasons why CPU bottlenecks are exaggerated by the gaming community

If you've ever scrolled through PC hardware threads on Reddit, you've probably seen gamers obsessing over CPU bottlenecks. Some of them act like it's a crime to pair a high-end GPU like the RTX 5090 with anything less than a 9950X3D or 9800X3D. But is that really justified? In the...
If you've ever scrolled through PC hardware threads on Reddit, you've probably seen gamers obsessing over CPU bottlenecks. Some of them act like it's a crime to pair a high-end GPU like the RTX 5090 with anything less than a 9950X3D or 9800X3D. But is that really justified? In the past five years, I've owned two AMD CPUs — the Ryzen 9 5900X and 5800X3D — and two high-end Nvidia GPUS — the RTX 3090 and 4090. And from my experience, CPU bottlenecks are often overstated.

Here’s why I won’t use anythign but Steam for PC gaming

Steam is the most popular online storefront for gaming. Think of it like an electronic version of GameStop or an Amazon dedicated to software and entertainment. You'll always find some enticing deals, it's incredibly easy to get your favorite games up and running, communicate with friends and family, and even stream games to another device. There's one feature that keeps me using Steam, however, and it's not the summer sale.

The Windows 11 lock screen is getting a nice widget recommendation feature

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I think that Microsoft has finally remembered that the Windows 11 lock screen exists. A few days ago, I reported on how Microsoft is adding a battery indicator to Windows 11's lock screen, and honestly, while it should not have taken Microsoft four years to get around to adding one, I'm just glad we finally got there. Now, another lock screen feature has emerged from the woodwork in the beta builds, and honestly, I'd take just about anything at this point.

Specs leak for three Samsung foldables ahead of Wednesday’s Unpacked

With two days until the official launch, more details have leaked about the trio of foldable phones Samsung is about to reveal. The latest leak details the screens, storage, batteries, and other core specs of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and new Z Flip 7 FE.The new information comes from WinFuture’s Roland Quandt, who claims to have obtained official Samsung promotional materials for the new phones, which will be officially revealed at a Galaxy Unpacked event this Wednesday, July 9th. The Fold 7 is expected to be substantially thinner than its predecessors, and Quandt quotes marketing materials that say it will measure 4.2mm thick when unfolded, and 8.9mm folded. That would make it the same thickness as the Oppo Find N5, and just 0.1mm thicker than Honor’s Magic V5, though at 216g it would actually be the lightest book-style foldable phone yet.It cuts the weight despite having bigger screens than the Fold 6 — 6.5 inches on the outside, and 8 inches on the inside — and squeezing in the exact same battery capacity of 4,400mAh. As expected it’ll be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, with either 256GB or 512GB of storage. This may vary by market however, as in a previous post Quandt reported on a 1TB version of the Fold 7, in line with what it offers for the current Fold 6. The only camera detail listed is a resolution of 200 megapixels, presumably for the main camera, and it will apparently launch in blue, black, and silver.View LinkThe smaller Flip 7 is just as interesting. Quandt claims that it will have a substantially larger 4.1-inch cover screen, sharing an image that shows this will wrap right around the two camera lenses, just like on Motorola’s recent Razr flip phones. That design appeared over the weekend in an alleged hands-on video of the new Z Flip, and has been seen in renders since March.The Flip 7 is also tipped to be substantially thinner than older models despite its bigger 4,300mAh battery, only a little smaller than the Fold 7’s. Storage options and colors are the same as the bigger phone too, though the Flip sticks to a 50-megapixel main camera.Quandt also has a few details on the long-rumored Z Flip 7 FE, expected to be a cheaper take on the flip phone. It drops to 128GB and 256GB storage, along with a smaller 4,000mAh battery. It has the same screen sizes as the main Flip 7, suggesting that it too will use the wrap-around cover display design, though that contradicts earlier reports that it will reuse the Flip 6’s design. It’s apparently only launching in black and white versions.Alongside leaks of the new phones, Quandt shared what appear to be official marketing images of the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, which have apparently adopted the squircle body design Samsung introduced in the Galaxy Watch Ultra. His latest leaks make no mention of the rumored Samsung trifold, which the company may tease this week but is unlikely to reveal in full.

I tried an operating system with nothing but my web browser

I'll be honest — when I first heard about an operating system that runs entirely on a browser, I didn't take it seriously. It sounded like a fun little experiment, not something you could actually use. I figured it would be sluggish, buggy, and barely of any use. But curiosity...
I'll be honest — when I first heard about an operating system that runs entirely on a browser, I didn't take it seriously. It sounded like a fun little experiment, not something you could actually use. I figured it would be sluggish, buggy, and barely of any use. But curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to give Puter a spin. To my surprise, it worked. Like, actually worked. Not only was it responsive, but it also had a surprisingly intuitive interface that mimicked traditional desktop behavior.

When I started self-hosting apps with Docker containers in my home lab, I followed the advice to manage them with a widely recommended tool — Portainer. Like many, I loved the comfort of using a GUI to manage the containers. When I tried Dockge to improve my enjoyment of working with code in Docker Compose files, I liked it more. It’s not as feature-rich as Portainer, though it’s a worthy alternative. So, I used Portainer and Dockge to manage Docker containers in my home lab to help me discover a winning combo. Over time, using both the apps turned out to be a game-changer for managing containers and stacks in my home lab.

Here’s what I’ve learned from self-hosting services on my main PC

I started self-hosting apps a few months ago by using Docker Desktop on my Windows PC. While I one day want to create a home lab to run these services, I continue to self-host using my main PC, which I also use for work and gaming.

The latest CPU-Z update finally adds compatibility for the newest GPUs

While you may not instinctively think about using an app with "CPU" in its name to check out how your GPU is faring, CPU-Z does have its own "Graphics" tab where you can get a quick rundown on your card's specs. For a little while, CPU-Z didn't officially support some...

4 differences between Nvidia and AMD GPUs that I wasn’t prepared for when I swapped
