Google Registry just released a new top-level domain that lets you slap a big ol’ .meme at the end of your website.The new .meme domains are available to register right now as part of an early access period for an “additional one-time fee.” If you don’t want to pay extra, you can wait until they become publicly available on December 5th at 4PM UTC (12PM ET) to pay just the base annual price.There are already a handful of sites that are embracing the .meme domain, some of which are dedicated to memes from the days of yore, including grumpycat.meme, nyancat.meme, and keyboardcat.meme. The meme tracker knowyour.meme even adopted the new domain. However,... Continue reading…

The Samsung 990 Pro is one of the best SSDs on the market. The drive is extremely capable, delivering blazing fast speeds, and it's also extremely reliable. Although this will be the perfect upgrade for any laptop or desktop PC, you're also going to be able to use this drive for a PlayStation 5 too.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard of Valve's Steam Deck. It's a gaming handheld that has one significant leg up over other traditional handhelds in the industry: It plays PC games. Forget the Nintendo Switch. Valve has taken that form factor, strapped rockets to it, and flown further than Nintendo has ever gone.

In recent years, market conditions, geopolitics, and cryptocurrencies created a perfect storm to force graphics card pricing upwards. It was already tough to buy GPUs on a budget unless you were content with a functional graphics card that would display your desktop but not much in the way of playing games. Nvidia, and to a lesser extent AMD, have all but abandoned the budget range. Even Intel, which is now making discrete graphics cards, decided to aim for the low-to-mid market. That means that with a few exceptions, the value-conscious PC user has to choose between older cards. Below the $300 mark, they won't be the best graphics cards, but can still handle 1080p gaming, and a few cards on this list can manage 1440p gaming at decent framerates.

Walmart’s new Google TV stick has a remote with Google Assistant for voice control. | Image: Walmart Following the launch of its Onn Google TV 4K Streaming Box earlier this year, Walmart is back with a cheaper stick version for just $14.88. The Onn Google TV Full HD Streaming Device (catchy) has lower video quality (1080p) and less RAM than its boxy sibling, but as it costs less than a month of Netflix, it could be a good option for smartening up the guest room TV. Essentially a cheaper version of Google’s $30 Chromecast with Google TV HD (which is currently on sale for $19), the Onn stick runs the same Google TV software and comes with a voice-capable Bluetooth remote control that summons Google Assistant. It’s available starting today at Walmart.com. Just plug the HDMI device into the back of your TV and access streaming services... Continue reading…

If you have an iPhone and a Windows PC, transferring files between the two is as seamless as transferring files between an Android phone and a PC. Along with the traditional iTunes method, many other ways have popped up over the years, making the file transfer process relatively easy between, say, your great laptop and iPhone.

Over the past few years, innovations like Resizable BAR have begun to capture the attention of enthusiasts and gamers alike. Both Nvidia and AMD have made Resizable BAR support available on their GPUs, promising noticeable performance improvements. But what exactly is Resizable BAR, and how can it impact your computing experience?

It’s a Macintosh! Only smaller! And made by Ayaneo! | Image: Ayaneo Ayaneo, which is mostly known for making handheld gaming consoles, just fully revealed the new Retro Mini PC AM01 after teasing it a few weeks ago. It says it plans to ship the AM01 before the end of the year — and I’d be lying if I said I’m not tempted to get one. The AM01 won’t win any benchmarking contests, but it’ll almost certainly be the best-looking computer you own. Let’s just state the obvious here: Ayaneo says it’s “paying homage” to the Macintosh, which is a kind way of saying, “We copied the thing pretty much exactly.” This device is the spitting image of Apple’s ’80s-era computer, right down to the floppy drive and the rainbow sticker. (Ayaneo made the sticker a flag shape instead of an apple, though — there’s paying homage... Continue reading…

Image: Amazon Amazon’s Echo Frames strategy is to skip the visual augmented reality features of other “smart glasses” and deliver regular-looking glasses with the Alexa voice assistant built in. If this sounds like a valuable addition to your life, you’re in luck, as the new third-generation Echo Frames are now available to preorder on Amazon, and there’s a $75 discount available. What The Verge’s David Pierce pointed out from his preview earlier this fall is that the biggest differences in the new Frames are as much about form as function — this latest iteration is a lighter, better-balanced version than its previous counterparts, with more stylish and colorful options available. Given that the only option in the first generation of the Echo Frames... Continue reading…

Image: Capcom A few weeks ago, Capcom announced that it would put on a showcase for Dragon’s Dogma 2. The livestream just wrapped up, showing off roughly 15 minutes of new gameplay, information, a trailer, and a release date: March 22nd. Check out the video here.The release date wasn’t exactly the newest of news. Hours before the livestream began on November 28th, the game’s Steam page accidentally leaked that you’d be able to dogma your dragons on March 21st. The livestream confirmed that the actual release date is a day later, with Dragon’s Dogma 2 sharing a release date with one of my most anticipated games of 2024, Princess Peach: Showtime! (Interestingly, Steam has not yet updated the page which still shows March 21st.)The showcase debuted a... Continue reading…
