In the world of business, sometimes you need to make a good first impression, and sometimes you really need to knock them flat with amazement. Fortunately, if you're a Raspberry Pi tinkerer, you can use the hardware to make some seriously impressive business cards for the extra-special clientele that you want to wow.

If you’ve enjoyed Elon Musk’s ongoing beef with Sam Altman and OpenAI, get ready for a whole new chapter: soon they’ll be rivals not just in AI, but in brain-computer interfaces too. The Financial Times reports that Altman and OpenAI are backing a new company called Merge Labs developing brain implants, making it a pretty direct rival to Musk’s Neuralink.This has clearly been an interest of Altman’s for a while though — he wrote about “the merge” between humans and machines on his personal blog back in 2017, and connects it pretty directly to his work at OpenAI:The merge can take a lot of forms: We could plug electrodes into our brains, or we could all just become really close friends with a chatbot. But I think a merge is probably our best-case scenario.

Your GPU should be the main performance driver in your gaming PC. It's probably the component you spend the most on, and for good reason. It's the single biggest factor in your PC when it comes to gaming performance. However, it's not the only factor. Other components still have a massive influence on your frame rate, and if you ignore them, your GPU won't be able to run at its full potential.

If you're someone that's on your computer or laptop all day, a monitor stand can make a world of difference. Not only does a monitor stand bring the display to eye level, but it can also reduce fatigue and improve your posture. If you've been thinking about buying one, or want to experiment, this model from Amazon is going to be the perfect one to go with thanks to its no-nonsense price of just $8.

I’ve spent years experimenting with countless Linux distributions, breaking my system more times than I can count. While that trial-and-error process is part of the fun for me, I’ve learned from helping friends and family that what excites me is exactly what drives them away; most people don’t want to fix their computers, they just want them to work.

Snapdragon X devices have slowly been getting into their stride, but they aren't quite there yet. At the very least, Windows on Arm has been going from strength to strength, and big companies like Adobe are finally bringing their apps over in a native format. But there's still a way to go.

After the backlash to replacing its 4o model with GPT-5, OpenAI will no longer get rid of old models without a heads up. "In retrospect, not continuing to offer 4o, at least in the interim, was a miss," Nick Turley, OpenAI's head of ChatGPT, said on Tuesday. In an interview with The Verge, he said it was surprising to see the "level of attachment" people had to 4o. "It's not just change that is difficult for folks, it's also the fact that people can have such a strong feeling about the personality of a model."Turley said that OpenAI was working to bring the "warmth" of 4o to GPT-5. In a Tuesday evening post on X, CEO Sam Altman said the …Read the full story at The Verge.

If you ever want to feel noticed, just try downloading Google Chrome using a clean install of Edge. On pretty much every step of the way, from entering your search for "Google Chrome download" on Bing to clicking the website and visiting the download page, Microsoft will do its utmost best to remind you that, hey, it worked really hard on Edge, and it's running on Chromium now, so there's no need to use another browser, honest.

NotebookLM is a fantastic research assistant from Google, designed to help you make sense of large amounts of specific information you feed it. This unique attribute helps reduce hallucinated information that you might find in results from other AIs, such as Google Gemini or ChatGPT. I prefer leveraging this to peruse support documentation and user manuals for the software I rely on, and trying it with AutoHotkey surprisingly helped me conquer previously challenging scenarios.

Video games are an entertainment medium that has been around for over 75 years at this point. Within that time, there have been game releases with an impact so great that they changed the way we see how games are played and received by players. They became staples of the time they were released, as well as representations of the best aspects or potential that the medium can achieve. While most big games end up becoming popular or beloved, not all of them can end up becoming legendary titles that remain relevant beyond their release years. Games like that change the industry in ways that we can't imagine until they finally arrive and become iconic games that we won't stop talking about.

In 2025, there is an abundance of choices for creative technology and software to use. When I began my creative journey, there wasn’t much choice between Adobe and Corel — especially for a student looking to get a career in the creative industries. It always felt like I had no choice but to use Adobe software. However, if I were to restart my creative journey now, with the knowledge I have of alternative creative software toolsand a desire to avoid Adobe, I know exactly which creative software tools I’d be using.

The Pokémon franchise has seen numerous releases over the years. While the main series has always been a marquee part of nearly every portable Nintendo system, other games have expanded the world of Pokémon beyond that. From bigger budget releases of titles focusing on battles to wild and crazy deviations from the core series, Pokémon has gone a long way for fans looking for something unique and fun. Even for those who aren't too keen on the many generations of pocket monsters that have been continuously added with each new game, there's always something to catch their eye within the franchise.
