Part of that love comes from Steam treating them like "native" controllers. They can do the things that made the first Steam Controller worth buying. Namely, they offer a level of customizable control never before seen on PC and that you still can't get on a console.With Steam Input, any of those controllers can have multiple control schemes for different game scenarios (flight, on-foot, in menus), and you swap between them with a button press. You can also create onscreen menus that bloom whe …Read the full story at The Verge.

Chrome is synonymous with the word ‘browser’ at this point. Its humongous market share hasn’t dwindled much, even after a lot of smaller, better versions based on the same engine became available. The only competitor, Edge, also shifted to Chromium and has a slightly noticeable presence because it defaults on Windows, which has millions of users.

The creator made it simple: go into the BIOS, change a setting, reboot, and enjoy a faster system. There were definitely no risks mentioned and no explanation of why you should change it just to boost speed, but my curiosity pushed me to try it.

OpenAI and Microsoft's partnership-turned-situationship just got even less committed. And a clause about artificial general intelligence, which has for years dictated the future of their deal, has officially been dropped.On Monday morning, Microsoft announced a handful of big changes to its long-standing OpenAI deal.
