Valve has announced an upcoming Team Fortress 2 update as only Valve can. A new blog post begins:"Thirteen years ago, we launched Mann vs. Machine, a chilling cautionary tale where an artificial consciousness tried to take all our jobs.

It turns out that one programmer at Valve fell on the wrong side of the prefix war when showing your CPU clocks in the Steam performance overlay, but at least it's all been fixed with a tiny patch.Last week,...

I utterly despise Google's AI summaries. I dislike how they're placed right at the top of the page, I dislike how prone to hallucinating the answers I'm searching for are, and I dislike that when it does offer something vaguely helpful, it's almost definitely scraped from another human that actually did the legwork. Thankfully, the Bye Bye, Google AI browser extension means I no longer have to glower at them—if...

After years of waiting for Noctua's greatest PC fan, we finally got our hands on it at the end of last year. Then, Noctua had to go and make us wait even longer for the 120 mm version, the NF-A12x25 G2 PWM. But not to worry, this long-awaited fan is now available. I've since put it through its paces and, unsurprisingly for the famous cooling company, it's superb.As mentioned, this...
