Buying a game that's in its Early Access phase is a risk. For a lot of very good reasons, you're probably better off just waiting until it leaves that phase and fully launches. That's not true for every Early Access game though. In fact, there are a number of games you can find that still feel incredible to play, before they're 'finished.'

Our home networking needs change constantly, whether that's from adding more devices to our home or wanting newer wireless protocols. But if you've got a Wi-Fi router that you're mostly happy with, and only wish you could use Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 instead of the existing version, what can you do?

As you can tell by the fact that I authored this article, I'm a writer. Writing is what pays my bills, so I do it for eight hours a day, five days a week. Sometimes more if I empty my wallet on a cool new piece of tech. I generally use a markdown editor to write my articles as it makes it easy to copy and paste the article onto a content management service. This way, I can retain the format of the article without making any major edits. As you can tell by this, my workflow is quite simple. Conduct research about a topic I'm writing on, write about it, paste it onto the website's CMS, and publish it. Despite this, I generally end up with piled-up work by the end of the week. You'll often find me working long hours on Friday to cover up for lost time during the rest of the week -- all thanks to my procrastinating self.

If you're a content creator, you probably watch your subscription count like a hawk. However, what if you could make a device that does all the tracking for you? Fortunately, it does exist in real life, and while it does take a little bit of DIY, it makes for both a simple and cheap project that a beginner can make.

Mini PCs have become popular in recent years due to their compact size, but they wouldn't be my top pick if I'm going to them playing games. Sure, they're great as console replacements, but that tiny size is not without its drawbacks. If you don't mind sacrificing a bit more space on your desk, a small form factor Mini-ITX PC would be a much better option for your money.

The Framework Laptop 12.The moment Vjeran and I got to the demo room at Framework’s San Francisco event, we knew right away — the mint and pink version of the Framework Laptop 12 was the one I wanted to touch, the one he wanted to photograph and film. @verge Could a modular repairable laptop look great and be cheap? That’s the goal of the Framework Laptop 12 — which is also the company’s first laptop with a touchscreen, its first with a stylus, and its first convertible 2-in-1 tablet PC.

(It’s kind of Framework’s thing, but this is its …Read the full story at The Verge.

Did you help fund the Ayaneo Flip around a year ago? If you did, you may not have received a product even after some people got theirs. Well, if you're still waiting, I've got some bad news for you: not only is Ayaneo pulling the plug on the entire project, but you only have a month to manually file a refund before your money is presumably gone forever.

While I personally greatly prefer building a PC myself over buying a prebuilt one, I can’t deny there are merits to buying a system that’s already been put together, tested, and shipped to your door. There’s a lot of elitism surrounding having to “do it yourself” and, honestly, a lot of that is misplaced. If you’re a first-time buyer looking to get into PC gaming, a prebuilt might be a compelling option for you, and here are 4 reasons why you shouldn’t overlook them.
