A Raspberry Pi is great at feeling “fine” right up until it starts wasting your time. Services stay up, the status lights blink like everything’s normal, and you chalk the occasional lag up to a cheap SD card or a noisy container update. Under the hood, though, the Pi can quietly reduce its clock speed to keep temperatures under control. That’s thermal throttling, and it often manifests as small annoyances rather than a dramatic failure.

In a surprise move, Valve has restocked the Steam Deck OLED in the US, but given how difficult it's been to hunt down the console lately, it will likely sell out soon. Currently, only the $550 512GB version of the handheld is in stock.

An ergonomic mouse is what you might need if you're someone who's on their computer all day. While it might seem like a small thing, the shape of your mouse can have a drastic effect on your health.

On Thursday, Netflix declined to match Paramount's bid, calling it "no longer fina …Read the full story at The Verge.

We all love upgrading our PCs. Even after finishing a dream rig or wrapping up a full build, it rarely takes long before the brain starts wandering towards what comes next. What can be improved? What can be optimized? That itch just never really goes away. The truth, however, is that in 2026, upgrading PCs is a downright brutal affair. Upgrading PCs has been challenging due to supply issues and high GPU/SSD/RAM prices, making enthusiasts collectively shelve any serious upgrade plans.

OLED has been the superior panel technology for TVs and monitors for many years now. The per-pixel dimming that gives OLEDs their signature contrast is unparalleled by any other panel type. I'd love to upgrade to an OLED TV, but the premium price is still quite prohibitive.

As long as video calls happen smoothly, streaming services work, and social media apps function, no one checks internet performance at home. Whenever performance issues appear, I take that up with my ISP. The first thing the ISP’s support asks me to do is run a speed test and share the results with them. The connection improves after a while, but then acts up again.

NASA announced at a press conference on Friday that it's delaying its plans for a Moon landing until Artemis IV in 2028. The Artemis III mission, scheduled for 2027, was originally going to attempt to land on the Moon but will now be a test flight instead. NASA also says it's "increasing its cadence of missions," including adding a second test flight in 2027 and aiming for "at least one surface landing every year thereafter," including the Artemis IV landing. The overhaul to the Artemis launch schedule follows a report from NASA's Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP) earlier this month that highlighted serious safety risks with NASA's p …Read the full story at The Verge.

US President Donald Trump (R) looks on as US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth speaks to the press following US military actions in Venezuela | AFP via Getty Images Nearly two hours after President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he was banning Anthropic products from the federal government, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took it one step further and announced that he was now designating the AI company as a "supply-chain risk". The decision could immediately impact numerous major tech companies that use Claude in their line of work for the Pentagon, including Palantir and AWS. It is not immediately clear to what extent the Pentagon may blacklist companies that contract with Claude for other services outside of national security.After a week of tense negotiations over the company's acc …Read the full story at The Verge.

We're huge fans of Hyprland here at XDA. In fact, one of our most grizzled Linux veterans in the XDA labs, Rich Edmonds, has taken pen to paper to discuss how Arch Linux and Hyprland transformed their laptop and how they feel Hyprland is the best window manager for Linux.

SteamOS is one of the main drivers of Linux adoption these days thanks to its inclusion with the Steam Deck and recent Lenovo gaming handhelds, but Valve has kept official support for it to a very limited number of devices. Of course, you can try to mimic the SteamOS experience with alternatives like Bazzite, but what would happen if you were to try and run proper SteamOS on a PC that isn't even designed for gaming in the first place?

US President Donald Trump has stated that he has banned all federal agencies from using the AI platform Anthropic.
