I used to think USB cables were simple. If the connector fits into my device, then surely the cable would work the same as every other one that looked identical. That assumption turned out to be completely wrong, and I only realized it after running into several frustrating problems with USB-C devices on my Windows 11 PC. One cable would charge my phone quickly, but transfer files slowly. Another worked perfectly with my external SSD, while a different cable caused random disconnects. I also had moments when a USB-C accessory refused to work properly, even though the cable fit physically without issue.

I don't think the biggest benefit of AI tools existing is the fact that you can ask a question and get a response within seconds. Or that you can generate an image of your younger self with a single sentence. Or that you can create a slide deck that would have previously taken you weeks to build within an afternoon. Those things are useful, sure, and a few of them still feel like magic. But they're all surface-level wins, and I think they're simply faster versions of things we already knew how to do.

If you want an iPad that’s more powerful than the entry-level model but less expensive than the iPad Pro, the latest iPad Air is the one to buy, and it’s down to one its best prices to date. The 11-inch Air with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity is available at Amazon starting at $519.99 ($79 off). If you want a larger screen, the base 13-inch Air has dropped to a new low price of $699 ($100 off), also at Amazon.13-inch iPad Air M4 Where to Buy: $799 $699.99 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $899 $789.99 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $1099 $1019 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)11-inch iPad Air (2026)Where to Buy: $599 $519.99 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $699 $609.99 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $899 $839 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)No matter which size you choose, the new iPad Air is noticeably faster than the base iPad thanks to its M4 processor and a bump up to 12GB of RAM. While it falls short of the M5-powered iPad Pros in terms of raw performance and its super-thin design, the Air is sufficient for lighter creative work and some gaming. This model also boasts Apple Intelligence and support for the latest Apple Pencil Pro. Apple also made a handful of smaller upgrades in the now-discounted iPad Air, like the N1 wireless networking chip that supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. It’s also compatible with Thread, making it easier to control smart lights, locks, and other compatible smart home devices directly from your tablet. It was already a good value, and now it’s a better one at this price if you’re shopping for a new iPad.Read our M4-powered iPad Air review.

I've always been skeptical about frame generation, so much so that for the first couple of years, I didn't even bother testing it on my RTX 4090 outside of benchmark runs. Sure, it was impressive to see the FPS counter almost double while monitoring in MSI Afterburner, but games never felt like they were actually running at those frame rates. I couldn't get past how my inputs always felt a little bit off, but I now know that's because I was judging frame generation almost entirely through the fast-paced shooters I play most often.

When Google first announced Gemini’s integration in Android Auto, it was easy to dismiss it as just another coat of paint on a familiar voice assistant. But after putting it through its paces during my daily commutes, it became clear that I had underestimated the upgrade.

If your PC has been running off the main power supply, plugged into the wall, and nothing has gone wrong yet, don't assume everything will remain the same forever. This is not about erratic power supply or a one-off power cut; it's about a crucial layer of protection missing from your setup. Just because you haven't experienced a power surge yet doesn't mean you won't. Without some sort of surge protection between your PC and the main supply, you're leaving your sensitive components at the mercy of the weather. Your power supply might have the latest bells and whistles, but it's not enough. A surge protector or UPS is essential for keeping your expensive PC safe from power surges, fluctuations, and brownouts. Even if abnormal power doesn't kill your components, it can still affect the performance and stability of your PC.

Valve finally brought back the Steam Controller this year. The second-generation pad launched on May 4 at $99, with twin trackpads, magnetic TMR thumbsticks, four back grip buttons, and the little 2.4GHz puck that doubles as a charging dock. It sold out in under an hour, and by the afternoon, the $99 SKU was gone. People were experiencing transaction errors mid-purchase and eBay listings were already sitting at $230 to $250. Valve has since opened a reservation queue, but if you missed the first drop, you're now waiting in line.
