Pairing an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor with 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 2TB of SSD storage, and an AMD Radeon 890M graphics is a very simple recipe for a powerful PC. Most people would have no issues using this type of machine, and it would easily be able to handle everything you could throw at it.

Learning 3D printing is already a juggling act: slicing profiles, filament quirks, bed leveling drama, and that one spool that squeaks like it’s haunted. CAD adds another layer to that, and it’s usually the layer that makes beginners feel like they accidentally enrolled in an engineering degree. Most people don’t give up 3D printing because the printer is hard; they bounce because making clean models feels like trying to draw with oven mitts. If the goal is to go from “cool idea” to “printable part” without losing a weekend, CAD has to meet you halfway. That’s where Onshape earns its keep.

If you're someone that's juggling so many different digital devices every day, you know how important it is to keep things charged. That's especially the case while you're on the go, which is why power banks can be such vital tools out in the field and potential lifesavers.

During a two-hour hearing in the US Senate Wednesday, top executives from Waymo and Tesla urged lawmakers to take action on long-stalled legislation to speed the deployment of self-driving cars on public roads. But after two hours of Q&A around a number of hot-button topics, including robotaxi safety, legal liability, remote operation, and China, it was clear that lawmakers were no closer to passing any bill related to autonomous vehicles.Waymo faced questions about its decision to use a Chinese-made vehicle for its next-generation robotaxi, as well as several incidents in which its vehicles failed to stop behind a school bus during studen …Read the full story at The Verge.

I've been really impressed with how far COSMIC Desktop has come in so little time. When I gave it a go, I felt that, while COSMIC didn't quite dethrone KDE Plasma as my favorite desktop environment, it did cement itself as my second-fave, and something I'll be keeping a close eye on. The fact that a desktop environment that got its first stable release two months ago could even make a dent on KDE Plasma in my mind is awe-inspiring.

Google's parent company, Alphabet, has earned more than $400 billion in annual revenue for the first time.

When Valve first announced its impressive-looking Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller hardware in November, the company said the products would begin shipping in early 2026. Some journalists were told "Q1 2026" specifically. But because of the ongoing memory and storage crunch, that launch has been delayed to sometime in the first half of this year, and Valve says it will reset expectations for how much they will cost "as soon as possible.""We planned on being able to share specific pricing and launch dates by now," Valve says in a new post. "But the memory and storage shortages you've likely heard about across the industry ha …Read the full story at The Verge.

I come from Apple's MacBook world, so I'm used to well-built, powerful laptops that, above all, don't take any risks and are boring. If you're a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air user, you know deep down that the above statement is true.

For a while now, I've been in search of a proper grocery tracking app that not only helps me balance my shopping list, but also lets me stay on top of pantry staples I already have at home. I've tried a variety of options (including a way too complex Notion setup), but nothing has quite hit the nail on the head. When I discovered Grocy, I thought I'd struck gold — it seems custom-built for that purpose. Unfortunately, after using it daily for a week, it turned into a massive headache that took more time to maintain than it saved.

When it comes to PC hardware, a BIOS update is as rare as a total solar eclipse. Most users will only consider updating their firmware when they suspect something is broken, or when a shiny new CPU refuses to POST right out of the box.

Well, it seems that even Valve isn't immune to the sheer weight of the RAM situation right now. While the company has been working away on a console-like device called the Steam Machine, it seems the device has been delayed for a few more months at the very least. Worse, it seems that the shortage has caused Valve to go back to the drawing board and reconsider how much it wants to charge for this device, and its answer has a chance to really scupper the Steam Machine's changes.

When you take the first (or perhaps a second) look at the Steam Deck, it's hard to think of it as anything beside a handheld-gaming console. It's got its ergonomic grips, dual thumb sticks, and a display that, when taken together, echo the DNA of the PSP and the Game Gear, which were machines purpose-built for gaming.
