The sheer magnitude of RAM shortages and price hikes has caught everyone by surprise, and things are not looking any better in the near future. If you were looking to upgrade your RAM capacity or even go for a faster kit, you're probably disappointed to see them cost two to four times as much as they did just a few weeks ago.

As far as SSDs go, this is by far the smallest ever -- and no, it's not just a fancy microSD card.

If you have the option to choose a laptop with better specifications than you need, it's a good idea to get it. And we think that the MSI Summit 13 AI+ Evo laptop hits all the right notes, offering impressive power in a sleek chassis that comes in at a price that's also relatively affordable.

Ayaneo, a manufacturer best known its gaming devices, has revealed its first gaming-focused Android handheld -- and it looks a lot like Sony's iconic 2011 Ericcson Xperia Play.

Nintendo amiibo figures have become a topic of discussion among Nintendo fans lately following the release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on the Nintendo Switch 2. Normally, this would be a good thing as people have been purchasing new amiibo figures alongside a new game release, but not this time. Amiibo figures and their functionality with various games have gotten under the skin of Switch 2 owners, more specifically if they give buyers enough for the price they purchase them. This is something that's been debated about since amiibo figures were first released on the original Nintendo Switch.

Disney and OpenAI's new $1 billion partnership feels emblematic of the terrible times we're living through. In exchange for access to the generative AI firm's APIs and tools like ChatGPT, the studio plans to let users of OpenAI's Sora AI video generator create clips featuring hundreds of Disney-owned characters.

Traveling with a lightweight computer setup usually involves a list of small compromises. I have tried tablets, compact Chromebooks, and even my phone paired with a portable monitor, yet none of them struck the right balance for getting real work done. For this trip, I packed a Raspberry Pi 5, a small keyboard, and the Elecrow CrowView Note 14 display that we recently reviewed. I expected a novelty experiment that might help me answer a few emails, but not much more.

Over the past few years, Microsoft has become increasingly more persistent when it comes to asking users to use a Microsoft account with Windows. It started to become a problem with Windows 10, but the company has ramped up efforts to curb local accounts on Windows 11, forcing users to sign in with an online account and removing commonly-used workarounds for avoiding it.

I spent years trying to find the right to-do list app for my needs, one that is multiplatform, syncs for free, can handle a variety of inputs from notes to links, and doesn't feel like it was adding features for the sake of it every few months. I've tried self-hosted to-do managers, commercial ones, and tried using other productivity tools that had to-do functions inside, but none of them stuck.

For a while now, my home network has felt a bit like an elaborate experiment; mostly stable, occasionally chaotic, and always one poorly timed migration away from my fiancée asking, “Why did the Wi-Fi just die?” My home lab had grown slowly and organically: a Proxmox machine here, a NAS there, a stack of self-hosted services, and whatever Docker container I was testing that week. Individually, they weren’t a problem. Together, they formed a noisy background hum of broadcast traffic, constant updates, and unpredictable workloads.
