Picking the right laptop or desktop PC to handle your day-to-day workloads isn't exactly an easy process. From choosing the right processor and display to figuring out the amount of RAM and storage you need, there are plenty of things to mull over. While you're navigating through all these components, picking all the right parts for your laptop or PC, you'll also come across the terms 'Intel vPro' and 'Ryzen PRO'.

In some respects, Apple has fallen behind when it comes to AI. But the brand looks to be making a big push this year, with new M4 chips and the promise of big things that will hopefully be revealed in great detail at its upcoming WWDC event set to take place in June. While we were a bit in the dark about what to expect, we now have some intel that shows that Apple may be partnering with OpenAI to bring some much-needed muscle to its upcoming AI efforts.

The Raspberry Pi 5 is the fastest Raspberry Pi made yet. Its CPU runs at 2.4 GHz compared to the 1.8 GHz of its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 4, and its GPU runs at 910MHz, over 80% faster than the RPi4. But it could be faster.

Screenshot: Ghost of Tsushima Steam, Epic, and Green Man Gaming are reportedly canceling and refunding preorders of the PC port of Ghost of Tsushima for buyers who live in over 170 countries without PlayStation Network access, reports Eurogamer. That’s despite the fact that arguably the most important part of the game is still playable without PlayStation Network account linking. The news comes after Valve abruptly delisted the game in those countries yesterday. Ghost of Tsushima only requires PSN account linking for its Legends multiplayer mode, a requirement the single player campaign is exempt from, the game’s developer went out of its way to say in a recent post. Steam, Green Man Gaming, and Epic Games Store each had disclaimers noting the same thing. In theory,... Continue reading…

You may not be able to cross a fortune teller's palm with silver like you could in the olden days, but that doesn't mean you can't just make your own. In fact, with the rise of generative AI, you can now have silicon try to predict your future and warn you of any obstacles you may face. Turns out, that's exactly what someone has done by turning their Raspberry Pi into a fortune teller.

Where will you be on May 13th at 10 am PT? If you've got some time spare, you may want to check out what OpenAI is up to. The company has announced that it's prepping some updates on its projects via a live stream on its website. While we're unsure as to what the company will announce, we now know what won't be. The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has made a "de-announcement" of several potential ChatGPT features, so now we know what not to expect on Monday.

With all the hype surrounding the best graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD, you might think that a discrete or dedicated graphics card is a given for any PC. However, while most graphically demanding applications need a dedicated GPU for decent performance, there are many use cases where you can get by perfectly well without one.

I recently got a Steam Deck to see if I could whittle down my gaming backlog by playing anywhere that wasn't my desk. The first thing I did to help with that quest was to add one of the best 2230 SSDs for extra storage space, increasing it to 2TB to stuff with games. Figuring out which games to install was slightly trickier, as I've got nearly 1,400 games in my Steam library, and nearly 1,000 in my Epic Games Store account, which is also playable on the Steam Deck with some extra work. I've been working my way through my backlog of games for a few months now, and one thing has stuck out. For me, this capable gaming handheld is perfect for older RPGs and isometric games of every description. Here are my favorites so far.

Nowadays, we rely on our devices to store a lot of sensitive data. Smartphones now house our photos, documents, passwords, bank card information, and more. The best iPhones and best iPads can store hundreds or thousands of photos, videos, apps, and more. But that also means that you could potentially lose several gigabytes of invaluable data if your device is damaged or stolen.

Illustration: The Verge OpenAI has been showing some of its customers a new multimodal AI model that can both talk to you and recognize objects, according to a new report from The Information. Citing unnamed sources who’ve seen it, the outlet says this could be part of what the company plans to show on Monday.The new model reportedly offers faster, more accurate interpretation of images and audio than what its existing separate transcription and text-to-speech models can do. It would apparently be able to help customer service agents “better understand the intonation of callers’ voices or whether they’re being sarcastic,” and “theoretically,” the model can help students with math or translate real-world signs, writes The Information.The outlet’s sources say...

Following multiple high-profile attempts by Beeper and Sunbird to get iMessage working on Android, there's more interest in the possibility now than ever before. Of course, that's because iMessage is one of the best messaging apps out there, but it is limited to Apple devices. Beeper somehow managed to reverse-engineer iMessage with Beeper Mini, but that was quickly shut down. Now, even Beeper Cloud doesn't support iMessage natively, instead choosing to list it as an experimental feature. But there are other ways to get iMessage on Android, and one of them is BlueBubbles.
