If you're trying to buy a new ultrawide monitor, Samsung's going to be one of the top brands to go with. Samsung offers a variety of different options, while also ensuring that there's something for nearly every budget. The Odyssey G91F delivers with its large and sprawling display, impressive colors, features and performance.

If you've shopped for a motherboard recently, you've likely noticed that the highest-end models come with features that are not found on mid-range and budget boards. Sure, some of them may seem overkill, like robust VRMs and premium onboard audio, but others can make a difference when you're building or troubleshooting your PC for issues. They don't cost much for the manufacturers to implement, but unfortunately, they're locked behind price tags that are out of reach for most PC builders.

Most student dashboards you see online are either too complicated to set up or too simple to be truly useful. That’s why I decided to build my own. After months of trial and error, I have created a single, comprehensive student dashboard in Notion that consolidates everything. This isn’t just a to-do list; it’s an all-in-one academic command center designed to help you stay organized, manage your workload, and actually enjoy being a student.

Fortnite players on most platforms are able to hop into matches following a login issue that Epic Games described as preventing users from “getting in reliably.” “We’re seeing players able to log back in now for most platforms, with the exception of PlayStation, and are working restore server health to normal for everyone to log in and matchmake as normal again,” Epic said at 8:02PM ET. “We’ll continue updating you as we bring everything back online.” Epic posted its initial status message about the issue at 6:39PM ET.While the login issue was happening, I wasn’t able to get into the game on my Nintendo Switch 2. When I tried, the game showed a message that says “unable to sign in to your account for online services” and to “please try again later.” I also watched frustrated Twitch streamers who are trying to compete in a scheduled tournament that weren’t able to log in or play games.In other updates, Epic said that the login issue also affected two of its other games, Rocket League and Fall Guys” and that it was investigating login errors for titles using Epic Online Services.Fortnite dealt with an extended downtime last year during the launch of its Greek mythology-themed season. In 2021, the game’s servers went down for a few hours near the end of the year.Update, August 14th: Epic says players on most platforms can log in.

This week has been a good week for anyone who wants to make projects you can stare at forever. Just the other day, I reported on this cool project that uses the Raspberry Pi Pico 2's microprocessor to create a business card with an LED array to display liquid physics, and it was really cool.

There are countless options out there to build your own smart speaker, unshackling yourself from the likes of Google and Amazon, but it's hard to beat the hardware these companies use. Those companies can essentially operate as loss leaders; the idea being that they can make a loss on that sale, because most consumers will then spend more money on other products within their respective ecosystem. A self-hosted solution can be cheap, yet it's hard to meet that level of polish. That's where the ReSpeaker XMOS XVF3800 with the XIAO ESP32-S3 from Seeed Studio comes in.

As a student, I’ve pulled my fair share of all-nighters cramming for midterms and finals, always fueled by unhealthy amounts of coffee. Would I consider that a perk of student life? Not exactly. But there is one real benefit you should be milking for all its worth — student discounts.

These days, you hear the phrase "console wars" all too often, usually in a very mild context. The debates about video game consoles have always been a part of discussions within gaming culture. Whether it's about the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X, or the Nintendo Switch 2 compared to anything else, this division and competitiveness is a constant thing within gaming. However, the concept of console wars has lost its weight and true meaning among people, especially among the younger generation on social media, who often find themselves clashing over superficial aspects of their favorite platforms. They don't truly understand what it was like to be within something as poignant and massive as the true console wars of the 1990s.

Every so often, we'll see a company bring out a case for Raspberry Pi boards. After all, you have to keep them from getting all damaged or dusty, right? And while each case has its specific pros and cons, I always gravitate toward the ones that make the SBC look like some sort of gaming rig, because I'm a sucker for RGB lights.

So, Microsoft has a knack for adding a feature I kind of assumed already was a thing, but turns out, was missing for some reason. And while I'm not a huge OneNote user, I assumed that there was some way to paste text without formatting. I've never actually tried it, but I assumed that you could.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is set to launch on Augst 20th. Google gave us the first official look at its upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold on Tuesday, but now the full specifications have leaked ahead of the device being launched at next week’s Made by Google event.According to a spec list seen by WinFuture, the flagship Pixel foldable will carry an IP68 rating that provides complete protection against dust and continuous submersion in water. This feature was rumored last month and would give the Pixel 10 Pro Fold an edge over rival foldables like Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Motorola’s Razr Ultra, which aren’t completely dustproof.The 6.4-inch external display is a smidge larger than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s 6.3-inch screen, and both the internal and external displays are brighter than its predecessor — bumping maximum brightness from 2,700 nits to 3000 nits. 15W Qi2 wireless charging is also supported, but not the faster 25W standard announced last month. And while the cameras seemingly remain unchanged, they now provide 10x optical zoom, up from the previous 5x cap. Check out WinFuture’s post to see the full spec list leak.

It's been a while since I played Elden Ring (for the fourth time), but that's the game that got my foot through the door for Soulsborne games. Now, I may have my fair share of complaints about the oversaturation of Souls-like games, but the genre itself began with FromSoftware's template of third-person, melee-based action-adventure titles where you explore dungeons and huge areas, wrestle with cryptic lore, take down difficult and unforgettable bosses, and kill enemies to progress your own character and build.
