If you have an SBC, then chances are you've been looking at what you can do with it. There are a ton of incredible projects you can use it for (for both beginners and enthusiasts), but at the end of the day, an SBC is also just a computer in a single board.

If you tap on it it merely expands to give you more information about the race, along with little drawn portraits of the candidates, which is decidedly not the content you want if you were just trying to find the button to make the whole thing go away. The Washington Post app has put this little window at the top of my iPhone screen and I can't make it go away. I don't even know what it means. WHAT DO THE DASHES EVEN STAND FOR AT THIS...

Fear not, because there are a handful of excellent iPhone 16 Plus cases you can buy before your new phone even ships.

If you enjoy recording your gameplay to show off to others, you'll likely already know that Steam got its own recording tool a few months ago.

Fortunately, Valve has deemed the recording tool fit for release, and now everyone can give it a spin without any third-party apps.

Back in April, we saw a leak claiming that the Switch 2 would work with original Switch games. It sounded good on paper, but given that it was a leak, it was worth taking with a grain of salt. Fortunately, we no longer have to do that, as Nintendo has publically confirmed that the Switch 2 will work with that huge backlog of games you still have to work your way through.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is nearly here, ready to shred through some gaming workloads with 104MB of 3D V-Cache, a staggering amount for a midrange CPU. With 8 cores and 16 threads, this powerful CPU can boost up to 5.2GHz, but that's not all it can do. This is the first X3D chip to have an unlocked multiplier, so you can squeeze out any headroom that your cooling solution allows, for better FPS in your favorite games. With all of that power to play with, you'll want to match it with some DDR5 RAM that's up to the task. The sweet spot here is still 6,000MT/s with a CL value of 30, which gives plenty of speed while ensuring low latency and easy compatibility with your choice of motherboard.
