Building your own PC can be one of the most exhilarating experiences. It is personal, customizable, and gives you total control over every component that goes into your setup. From choosing the perfect case, the unique CPU and GPU combo that is tailored to your needs and wants, and optimizing it for performance or aesthetics, it is a craft that many enthusiasts take pride in.

The new Lenovo ThinkPad T14s lineup features its first-ever convertible laptop option. And as far as 2-in-1 business laptops go, the ThinkPad T14s 2-in-1 (Intel) has plenty going for it. It's powerful, efficient, and features the classic ThinkPad durability and industry-leading keyboard.

Microsoft's Phone Link app is one of the key components of the company's cross-device strategy, and the software giant also treats it like one by improving the app. That's Microsoft's official stance, but in reality, not everything works in users' favor. The recent example that I can remember is when Microsoft quietly axed the ability to remove devices from Phone Link.

When I first started building my smart home network, I felt like a networking rockstar. I was trying out every new feature, shortcut, and pro-tip I found online. After all, we all want a fast, secure, and reliable home network. But between all the tutorials and recommendations, it’s easy to set up your gear in a way that actually hurts performance or, worse, compromises your security.

Moving to an ultrawide monitor can be a jarring experience for some, but the added benefits can be a game changer to others. Samsung makes some of the best in the business, featuring high-quality panels that deliver impressive colors, deep black levels, and excellent performance.

It was 25 years ago when the PlayStation 2 first arrived on the console market. It was a time of great change for pop culture, but even more so for video games, as the continuing rise of 3D gaming took a strong hold on the industry. Years later, people still look back fondly on the PS2 and the library of legendary games that people loved to play. To many, it remains one of the best video game consoles ever released.

It's not easy to make a ninja game. You have to strike the right balance between stealth and action; lean too hard on one of those, and you lose what makes ninjas so admirable in the first place. Fortunately, one game really did nail the feel of being an assassin of the night, and it was so good at what it did that it got remastered in 2018 and still holds up to this day. It's a game that aged like a fine wine.

Upgrading your monitor can make a world of difference, and it doesn't even need to be something high-end to really have an impact. And if you've been looking to upgrade, we think this MSI monitor is going to be the one to go. It's cheap and can really handle all that you can throw at it.

For years, I have lived a fragmented digital life. My blog drafts were organized on Google Drive, personal files sat on Dropbox, and other data was scattered across different platforms. The biggest headache wasn't losing files, but the syncing challenges: file conflicts, and having to trust multiple servers just to move my own data. It wasn't simple, it wasn't efficient, and it certainly wasn't private. I decided to dump the complicated services and use only one utility tool for all my syncing, and the tool is Syncthing. Here’s why I completely rebuilt my file synchronization workflow from the ground up using Syncthing.

Whenever CPU temperatures creep into uncomfortable territory, the first thing many of us think about is upgrading the cooler. I did that too for many years because it seemed like the most direct and logical fix. After all, bigger and thicker radiators should mean lower temps. But the thing is, you don't always need to spend $100-$150 on a new AIO just to get better cooling performance for your CPU. In fact, you can improve temperatures by a few degrees without spending any money at all.

On November 18th, Operation: Infinite will be released for Halo Infinite players with a battle pass and lots of new customizations, but according to the team, that’s it for this game’s content updates:With multiple Halo titles in development, we’ll need our whole team’s combined focus to deliver new experiences with the same passion and care that our community has given us. While we remain committed to supporting Halo Infinite on the road ahead, Operation: Infinite is the last major content update currently planned.Putting this game into maintenance mode is an awkward counterpart after last month’s news of a 2026 multiplatform release for the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, but that’s the way things have gone for Infinite ever since it came out of the blocks stumbling with an ugly, unpolished eight-minute gameplay trailer in 2020.The game was eventually delayed another year to late 2021, missing the launch of the Xbox Series X / S consoles, and shipping without features like campaign co-op and the Forge customization mode. The infamous Craig did get a glow-up, and subsequent updates checked off some of the community’s wishlist items. Still, it’s clearer than ever that the future of Halo is cross-platform and doesn’t include the free-to-play multiplayer of Infinite, as Xbox hardware sales continue to slow, and Microsoft’s profitability push shuts down studios and raises prices.Now, the team writes, “we’ve been floored by the response” to Campaign Evolved, which will be released on both PS5 and Xbox next year.

An open-source tool that perfectly blends the freedom of handwriting with the power of digital organization is a rare find, but Xournal++ is exactly that discovery. After running into annoying syncing issues on OneNote, I decided to look for alternatives, and my first priority was support for drawing tools.
