The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti isn't a graphics card we typically recommend purchasing with AMD's RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT now out in the wild. But should you have $600 to spend and want an Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series GPU for DLSS and Nvidia's frame generation technology, I've rounded up some of the better RTX 5070 GPUs for you to install inside a gaming PC. Although the launch was met with a mixed response at best, it's still a compelling GPU for 1440p gaming.

This image captured during the IM-2 landing livestream shows Athena “about 10 meters” above the lunar surface.The second lunar lander made by Intuitive Machines has touched down on the Moon, but like the private aerospace company’s first spacecraft, it may not be upright. The Athena vehicle for Intuitive Machines IM-2 mission landed yesterday just 100 miles from the lunar south pole, but there’s uncertainty around its orientation which may impact the mission’s duration.“We don’t believe we’re in the correct attitude on the surface of the Moon yet again,” Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus said during the post-landing news conference.“We’re going to get a picture from the lunar reconnaissance orbital camera from above and we’ll confirm that over the coming days.”Data from Athena’s Inertial Measurement Unit indicates that “we’re oriented somewhat on our side,” according to Altemus. Odysseus, a near-identical Intuitive Machines lander that became the first privately owned spacecraft to reach the Moon’s surface last year, shared a similar fate when it toppled over during its own landing. Athena touched down just a few days after the Blue Ghost private lander created by Firefly Aerospace, which landed “in an upright, stable configuration” on March 2nd.The IM-2 mission is part of Intuitive Machines’ partnership with NASA to help return future crewed missions to the Moon. Athena was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on February 26th, and carries 11 payloads and scientific instruments designed to find evidence of water on the lunar surface.The Athena lander is charging on the surface according to Altemus and is communicating with the mission ground network team on Earth, but performance is sub-optimal, which may cut Athena’s ten-day lifespan short. “We have done some power conservation steps as prudent measures to see how long and what objectives we can accomplish in the mission going forward,” said Altemus. “It will be off-nominal, because we’re not getting everything that we had asked for in terms of power generation, communications.”Once the orientation of the lander is confirmed, the IM-2 team can then establish how many of Athena’s payloads and scientific instruments are fully operational — including a drill designed to search for ice, and a hopping drone vehicle named Grace that aims to explore a permanently shadowed crater for the first time.

The Steam Deck is a fascinating bit of handheld machinery, capable of taking thousands of PC games with you on the go. But for all the games verified to work on the Steam Deck, there are thousands more than you might not think that work on the system.

Discord is a premier communication app used by both gamers and non-gamers worldwide, with over 200 million monthly active users leveraging the social platform to chat with friends, join millions of dedicated Discord servers on various topics, or use it for work and productivity.

After a tough few years for the best graphics cards, it's not surprising that a crop of older, inexpensive GPUs still top the most popular cards among PC gamers. The GPU market is rapidly changing, though, as are games, and if you stick with the old guard, you'll find yourself being able to play fewer and fewer games.

With both the RTX 50 series and RX 9000 series now available, it's time to revisit the Nvidia vs. AMD debate. The RX 9070 XT from AMD is being hailed as the best GPU launch in ages, and rightly so. It's almost as fast as the RTX 5070 Ti, which is priced $150 more (if you can even find it at that price). And AMD's ray tracing and FSR technologies have seriously improved compared to the RX 7000 series.

Sometimes, when I download a file from the internet, it doesn't show where the downloaded files usually go. It's usually because I used a new browser or reinstalled my old one, so the default download location changed. So now I have to either go through the browser settings and see where I put the file or begin digging through files where it might be.

Google has announced that lock screen widgets are coming to Android 16 phones later this year. Widgets have been available on the lock screen of the Pixel Tablet since last year, but Google is now bringing them to phones and more tablets.All widgets will support the lock screen by default, though app developers will have the option to disable support if they prefer. Certain widget actions — such as triggering an app — will still require you to authenticate with a fingerprint, pin, or face unlock before they’ll function.The upcoming change was announced on the Android Developers Blog, where the company confirmed that lock screen widgets will be added to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) in the first quarterly update following the release of Android 16, due in late summer. Android 16 itself is still in beta, and is due to release in June.While the lock screen widgets for phones aren’t yet enabled in the latest Android 16 beta, Android Authority’s Mishaal Rahman managed to activate the functionality early. He found that while Pixel Tablet users can access lock screen widgets by swiping right from the home screen, the present implementation for phones is only available through Android’s screensaver mode, which requires the phone to be charging or docked. However, in its blog post Google notes that the mechanism to trigger the widget interface is customizable by hardware manufacturers, so we may see different approaches once the update arrives.The other difference from the Pixel Tablet implementation comes down to screen size. Instead of a two-row grid of widgets, Rahman’s video shows widgets stacked vertically, with only space for a couple on the screen at once, so you’ll have to swipe through screens to access them all.

If you have an older AMD Ryzen CPU based on the Zen 1 through to Zen 4 architecture, your CPU can now be "jailbroken." This is thanks to an exploit that allows users to write their own microcode for those affected CPUs,

Growing up, I heard a lot about PC cleaning apps, and used many of them myself. Everyone always wishes they could get a little more performance out of their PC, so seeing all these apps claiming to speed up your computer is bound to grab the attention of more than a few people.

When designing products or protocols, there's often a trade-off to be made. Often, it's in favor of convenience instead of security, like with WPS pairing for Wi-Fi devices or UPnP, which lets devices open their own ports to the internet through a firewall. But did you know there's another network protocol that's similar to UPnP in scope that you should probably turn off in your router?

If you're looking for a laptop that offers a fantastic balance between price and performance, going with one powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X chip is going to be a pretty safe bet. The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge scored high in our review, and we loved that it offered a sleek design, lots of power, and great battery life.
