AMD's Socket AM4 launched way back in September 2016, and it's still getting new CPUs released to this very day. However, some of the earliest boards may not have ever gotten the necessary BIOS updates to support newer-generation CPUs, while others that did receive the necessary BIOS updates had to drop support for earlier generations of Socket

Apple isn’t done releasing new products this year after it launched its latest set of iPhones last month. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is reporting that the company has a slew of device updates coming this week that will be powered by the M5 chip (sorry, no iPhone 18 Fold just yet, though it's coming). Instead of a keynote event video, Apple will

Battlefield 6 is enjoying a healthy launch, but not without issues. To that end, EA has been fairly communicative with its community, declaring a set of benefits for preorder players who were locked out of the game during this critical launch window and addressing a jump momentum bug. For those not in the loop, there were actually two major

After more than a decade of service, Windows 10, once pitched as the last monolithic version of Windows ever, is just hours away from officially reaching end of life (EOL) status, which Consumer Reports deemed a national security threat. That means no more technical support or free security updates (with caveats) despite a petition to compel

Here's a secret that every DIY PC builder knows -- piecing together a system is not that difficult. The real challenge comes in selecting the parts, and of course some setups require more effort than others, like a small form factor (SFF) build. But for the most part, building a PC is easy. It can also be affordable, especially if you take

If you want to buy an Xbox console, be it an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, chances are good you can waltz into your local Target or Walmart and pick one up. And if not, there's always the online route. Despite some recent hysteria suggesting otherwise, Target and Walmart have no plans of phasing out Xbox consoles, Microsoft confirmed in

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days may be over, but there are still some good deals to be had on GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs. We've narrowed down the most compelling options to six choices below, with two SKUs each for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, RTX 5070, and RTX 5070 Ti—effectively, all of the hottest mid-range NVIDIA GPUs currently available.

Just a few weeks after introducing AI agents into Office 365 apps, Microsoft is already testing news ways to bolster the integration of Copilot in Windows 11. Windows insiders will have access to new features that will allow Copilot to connect to personal services and enable the creation and exporting of documents. With these new features,

Battlefield 6 has made an explosive entrance onto the gaming scene, quickly becoming EA's most-played title on Steam and becoming the #4 most-played game on the platform overall. Battlefield performing this well after such a long dormant period is impressive, but especially when one considers how even Free To Play titles like EA's own Apex

Battlefield 6 is out, if you haven't heard. Capitalizing on gamer dissatisfaction with recent Call of Duty releases, the new Battlefield title offers a tightly-optimized military shooting experience that many are calling a return to form for the series—even if it is a bit safe and unambitious in some ways. The launch isn't completely without

You may have missed out on Amazon's two-day Prime Big Deal Days event last event, but don't go kicking yourself in regret. Amazon pretty much always marks down items, and we keep a constant pulse on the more interesting deals. Additionally, some of last week's bargains are still lingering, including some great prices on Apple products. It's

We recently highlighted an all-time low price on LG's 75-inch C5 OLED TV, which saw a 46% markdown from its MSRP to $1,999.99, and along with several other OLED bargains as part of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event. While those discounts have expired, we're still seeing some post-Prime deals that are worth checking out, including a great

One of the big features that AMD fans boast about when extolling the virtues of the Ryzen platform is forward compatibility. This very writer bought an ASRock X570 Taichi motherboard way back in 2019 for the launch of AMD's Ryzen 3000 series, and was still using that motherboard (with a 5800X3D installed) until this year. Socket AM5 may or

This morning, we spotted a PC build that looked as cool as ice—and according to the person who built this refined high-end beast, that's an accurate description of how it runs. The build, referred to as both an "Icy Build" and the more grandiose "King 95", is a standard tower PC powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an ASUS TUF NVIDIA GeForce

Microsoft’s Xbox gaming division is on shaky ground, as the company has increased prices for both its hardware and Game Pass subscription service while major vendors like Costco have quit carrying the consoles altogether. The vibes won't be improved by today's news that a veteran member of one of its key studios has abruptly departed and did

Xbox is getting absolutely battered this console generation, but Microsoft still insists a next-gen AMD-powered Xbox is in the works—and the rumor mill is now pointing toward a 2027 release window for the next-gen Xbox with AMD's "Magnus" APU within. The Magnus APU, which we've heard about previously, looks to be a mega-sized APU packing Zen

A financially-motivated hacking group, tracked by Microsoft as Storm-2657, has so far successfully compromised employee accounts at three U.S. universities to steal their salaries in what campaign experts are deeming "payroll pirate" attacks. The sophisticated scheme targets human resource (HR) platforms, such as Workday, to redirect direct

We've uncovered bits and pieces of Samsung's long-anticipated extended reality Galaxy XR headset so far, but a massive leak dump, including final renders, key specs, as well as a look at the software, has left little to the imagination. Based on the numbers alone, Samsung appears to have engineered the headset to outperform the likes of the

Corsair's newest desk chair has high unstated hopes of unseating Herman Miller (and its BFF Logitech) as the go-to option for creators and professionals who need more comfort that what is usually found on racing-themed gaming chairs. That's because the Elgato Embrace, as it's called, was built from the ground-up for "anyone who spends serious

With the aid of a multinational network of radio telescopes, scientists have been able to detect the lowest-mass dark object ever found in the universe. The mysterious object, roughly one million times the mass of our Sun (approximately 10 billion light-years from Earth) was discovered using gravitational imaging to spot a subtle warp of spacetime. Published

Listen here, Mac. If you want to be wealthy, you can work hard, grind your whole life, and make wise investments that you hope will pay off in time for retirement, or get lucky and pick a set of winning lottery numbers. Barring those avenues, legal options that won't land you in prison start to dwindle, though there is another avenue to raking

Today is Battlefield 6 launch day and while the minimum and even recommended system requirements to play on PC are not all that stringent, you can also play the title on NVIDIA's GeForce NOW cloud gaming service.

Earlier this year, Synology made headlines for all the wrong reasons when it announced it would be limiting support for third-party drives in its 2025 NAS lineup. Following months of backlash, however, a new update has mostly reversed this decision, to the relief of Synology owners and prospective buyers everywhere. Previously, Synology

Last year, the CrowdStrike BSOD crisis resulted in vital IT infrastructure all around the world being forced offline. Now, a year later, Apple has released a short film parodying these events titled The Underdogs: BSOD, which also serves as an advertisement for replacing Windows with MacOS. Disregarding the fact that MacOS has nowhere the
