The team at Discord introduced some discord to our newsroom today.

Building a PC with a radiator? Well, nearly every PC has a radiator; after all, that's what the finstack on your tower cooler is. Building a PC ON a radiator? That's a different story altogether.

GOG (formerly known as Good Old Games) has been fighting an uphill battle for some time, despite being generally well-received, in a battle to stay relevant amid Steam's unapologetic market dominance.

AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution is no more; the product has been renamed to simply "FSR" as it encompasses more technologies than just "super resolution".

Building a PC from scratch in the current climate is a tough proposition thanks to skyrocketing memory and storage prices, as well as inflated GPU costs. If you're in need of a modest new gaming PC, however, you may want to consider going the prebuilt route, even if you've traditionally stuck with DIY builds. System builders are better equipped

Nothing has seemingly abandoned the traditional slow-burn reveal in favor of a blunt, early look at its next mid-range contender, the Phone 4a.

Rumors are a-swirling over the next OnePlus flagship, with some saying that the OnePlus 16 is set to shatter the 1mm display bezel barrier, inching (or should that be millimetering) us closer to the bezel-less smartphone dream some enthusiasts have sleepless nights over.  If this claim (as noted by tech insider Old Chen Air over at Weibo)

It's been half a century since Apple's humble beginning as a garage-based operation that saw co-founders Steve Job and Steve Wozniak crank out the Apple 1, a computer that was hand-built in Los Altos, California (and now fetches enormous sums at auction).

In case you have not heard, Netflix is planning to the pull the plug on streaming support for PlayStation 3 consoles. Same goes for legions of legacy TVs and older set-top boxes.

Apple confirmed its first big product event of this year as the company sent invites to press for a “special Apple Experience” taking place in New York, London, and Shanghai.

Oh boy, here we go again. A supposed early retail listing for Grand Theft Auto VI, arguably (and not all that arguable, really) the most anticipated video game of all time, is causing a ruckus with a listed price of $124.19.

Remember when anything with an OLED display would command a massive premium?
