Fighting games are some of the most competitive games around, while also remaining some of the most fun to play with other people. Whether you're trying to be a champion or dominate your personal friend group, playing fighting games is always a great time. The genre has been very popular for decades, with tons of unique and unorthodox fighting games being released on consoles and in arcades. But there is one classic game in the genre that every gamer, of any age, should learn how to play at some point in their lives.

There are plenty of ways to secure a home or office these days, but this might be one of the cheapest options that's actually good. Arlo's a brand that has been around for a few years, and generally delivers some pretty good security-related products.

I swapped from spinning platters to solid state for my main mode of storage many moons ago, but that doesn't mean I ditched HDDs altogether. Some of the hardest-working hard drives in my setup are over a decade old. They still spin up instantly, report clean SMART data, and quietly do their jobs day after day.

In my quest to become more productive, I've tried out software with lofty promises and plenty of features. And while I understand that they work for some people, they never really stuck with me.

Improving the audio experience can make a world of difference when it comes to your music, games, movies, and more. And while software can shoulder some of the load, a good pair of headphones, speakers, or earbuds can truly make the experience magical.

While my productivity stack has changed massively this year and many tools have rotated in and out of my workflow, NotebookLM has been the one constant. I've used it for all sorts of things, including cramming for finals, learning new skills (both technical skills like programming and random life skills like baking the perfect tiramisu), and simply turning chaotic information into something I can actually work with.

Dominion Energy, an offshore wind developer and utility serving Virginia's "data center alley," filed suit against the Trump administration this week over its decision to pause federal leases for large offshore wind projects. The move puts a sudden stop to five wind farms already under construction, including Dominion's Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. The complaint Dominion filed Tuesday alleges that a stop work order that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) issued Monday is unlawful, "arbitrary and capricious," and "infringes upon constitutional principles that limit actions by the Executive Branch." Dominion wants a fede …Read the full story at The Verge.

While the current RAM shortage due to AI usage is not news by any means, the way businesses are responding to it certainly is. We've seen Framework announce two price increases in the space of two weeks due to the shortage, and we've even seen a popular brand of DRAM exit the consumer market altogether as it attempts to divert all of its efforts into appeasing the bottomless pit that is AI usage.

A little while ago, I made it my quest to migrate off of Windows 10 and try Linux. It was pretty intimidating, and I didn't quite know where I was going or what I wanted to achieve, but I figured I wouldn't get anywhere if I just sat around doing nothing. So, I forged ahead and tried out a bunch of things.

Setting up a smart home with big-brand, app-dependent devices is a lot like buying a licensed LEGO tied to a movie or game. While the packaging looks great, you realize half the pieces are custom-molded and don’t work with standard LEGO bricks. That’s how many smart home vendors operate: design devices to work only with their app and with a specific, tightly controlled ecosystem.

There's something really cool about bringing older, retro tech into the modern day using an ESP32. It hasn't even been a week since we covered someone turning a 1955 radio into an internet streaming station using the microcontroller, and I still think it was a very impressive project.

If you want to extract maximum performance from your components, overclocking is probably the first thing that comes to mind. In theory, you can increase the clock speeds of most modern CPUs, graphics cards, and RAM. But given the performance dynamics of modern PCs, overclocking isn't always the best idea. In particular, if you're rocking a relatively recent mid- to high-end system, you'll likely find that undervolting the GPU nets much better results than overclocking the CPU.
