For me, the Steam Deck OLED is the best PC gaming handheld you can buy, even among the stiff competition currently on the scene. Still, it's not a perfect device, and the recent reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 has put that on full display. Although the Steam Deck is still a fantastic device, there are a few notes I'd like to see Valve take from the upcoming Switch 2.

Synology makes some of the best network-attached storage (NAS) solutions on the market. The company is renowned for high-quality hardware and an OS that even NAS beginners can get to terms with in a short time. The thing is, Synology NAS, and turnkey products in general, aren't the only solution for network-attached storage. You can build your own NAS enclosures with nothing more than an old PC or single-board computer (SBC) and a few drives. I'm running custom NAS, servers, and branded enclosures, and here's why I sometimes regret using Synology NAS in my home lab setup.

With the new US tariffs coming into play, costs are expected to rise. This is especially true for products shipped from China, which are currently undergoing huge tariffs that will see prices soar. This has a knock-on effect on products that use Chinese components as part of the design, and the tech world relies on them a lot.

I’m a Windows user, and after looking at third-party antivirus tools for my PC with the release of Windows 10, I abandoned them. Many big-name third-party antivirus tools can get complicated, and they use a lot of system resources. In addition, they can be expensive for the protection you get. For instance, Norton is a popular third-party antivirus solution, but it’s costly and continuously offers in-app upgrades that cost even more.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is undoubtedly the talk of the town. Among several upgrades from its predecessor, one of the most welcome improvements is the added onboard storage. Compared to the first-gen Switch, which only had 32GB of onboard storage, and the OLED variant that came with 64GB out of the box, the Switch 2 has a respectable 256GB of internal SSD storage. This should ensure you can store more games locally without relying on external storage. However, what has also improved is the graphics performance of the console, which means games are also going to be considerably larger than what they were seven years ago when the original Switch was launched.

If you're a big D&D fan like me, you'll know how many models you need to get a campaign off the ground. You need a veritable library of miniatures ranging from beholders to kobolds, or you're stuck with placing a human guard model onto the battle map and asking everyone to pretend that it's a wolf.

I've been a PC user for over 25 years, using everything from a Pentium 3 prebuilt PC to a Ryzen 7 5700X custom gaming rig. I've built PCs for friends, family, and paying customers using flagship components and the latest software. When it comes to my personal system, however, I'm what you might call a PC Luddite. I'm not rocking a quad-core processor or a hard drive, but I'm resistant to change in other ways.

We've finally gotten our first look at Nintendo’s new console, the Switch 2. There were many new features they wanted to show us, such as how the Switch 2's new graphic capabilities and the size comparison against its predecessor. But there were a few games they showed that really took the show, including one from an unexpected studio. Let’s get into more detail about the game and reception from fans.

Due to its privacy and security issues, Windows is far from the most optimized operating system for home servers. But if you’re a beginner self-hosting enthusiast or a casual user who wants to tinker with some cool distros, you’ll be surprised by the sheer number of server-centric tools included in Microsoft’s flagship OS.

Despite their small form-factor and energy-efficient design, modern Raspberry Pi SBCs pack enough firepower under the hood to run dozens of containers. Since these adorable boards are compatible with several home server operating systems, you can self-host your favorite services without scouring through waves of Docker commands.

SSDs have quickly become the primary storage medium for all computers, housing the data that we use most often, like our OS and commonly used applications. Although the general quality of SSDs has improved across the board in the last decade, not all of them are created equal, and in fact, certain SSDs are actually a poor buy depending on your use case. That's why I always check these 5 SSD specs before I add one to my cart.
