MSI has quietly raised the price of all of its RTX 5070 Ti models, continuing a trend we've seen with RTX 50-series GPUs that's effectively done away with list price. As spotted by French outlet Hardware&Co, MSI raised the official price of its most inexpensive RTX 5070 Ti models -- some of which are among the best RTX 5070 Ti models you can buy -- bringing the cheapest model up to $820 from its original price of $750.

File Explorer in Windows 11 has many issues, but the good thing is that Microsoft has improved it since its launch by adding useful features like tab support. Despite all the improvements, File Explorer is nowhere close to perfect, as it still lacks useful features that you'll find on its macOS equivalent, the Finder. And then, there are features in File Explorer that serve no purpose, and to many people, they do more harm than good.

The ThinkPad has been the gold standard for enterprise laptops since its days at IBM and has continued to set the bar for workplace machines since the brand's acquisition by Lenovo in 2005. Today, there are a lot of powerhouse models to choose from, including the latest X1 Carbon Gen 13, the T14s Gen 6, and the still fantastic T14 Gen 5.

There are several ways to repurpose old hard drives in your computing setup, whether it’s using them to expand your game storage or leveraging them in a DIY NAS. But if you don’t want to go around opening up PCs or tinkering with NAS-tier operating systems, a makeshift external drive is a great way to get more use out of your spare drives.

When your NAS is drowning in dust, both inside and out, it can lead to various problems, from overheating to component damage. In extreme cases, excessive heat can cause drive failures, resulting in data loss, while even moderate dust buildup may lead to slow performance as the NAS’s hardware struggles to keep up. You can easily avoid long-term hardware damage — and, in turn, protect your data — by cleaning your NAS regularly to ensure it runs at optimal performance levels.

Microsoft’s relentless push to utilize OneDrive feels less like convenience and more like a forced integration on Windows. Coupled with slow download and upload speeds, as well as privacy concerns, I knew it was time to break free from Microsoft’s cloud storage solution. While there is no shortage of OneDrive alternatives, Proton Drive caught my attention for several reasons.

Nvidia has had a real time trying to keep its RTX 50 release going smoothly. The issues began when people began reporting that updating the drivers caused a nasty black screen issue that sometimes didn't fix itself. This was then compounded with another issue where some GPUs were missing the correct amount of ROPs, albeit it was a rare occurrence. Nvidia pushed out a patch to help fix the former issue, but it seems that the update has only made the problem worse for some.
