Both reporting on and reading about the raging memory supply crisis has meant a procession of bad news. So when someone actually has a win to share, I'll gladly take it. Case in point, purveyor of modular laptops Framework is actually lowering the price of some of its memory products."We have a positive update today on LPCAMM2 pricing!" The company wrote on X, "We were able to source a limited...
Double Fine has ducked out of the way of Microsoft's falling axe, going independent after the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced layoffs totalling 3,200 people earlier this year. The studio itself has had a bit of a troubled discography after the win of Psychonauts 2, with neither 2025's Keeper or 2026's Kiln doing much to move the needle.Tim Schafer pretty much pins his studio's voluntary exile from Microsoft on...
Microsoft has benefited from its services being used by many different governments and state agencies around the world. In many places, it's become ubiquitous. Some aren't happy about that, however, not least because it keeps you locked into an ecosystem that Microsoft can dictate the price for. As such, some states around Europe have been moving away from Microsoft services and towards open-source ones, and Switzerland now looks to be...
Wi-Fi 8 is upon us, so here are two routers we saw at Computex that should be hitting the shops soon
Last week at IFA 2026 TP-Link announced two new Wi-Fi 8 routers—the Archer 9 Ultra and the Deco 8 Ultra—though the actual price and release date aren’t yet known, other than availability being later this year.While TP-Link claimed these are the first Wi-Fi 8 routers to be revealed, this isn't quite the case: Asus showed off its Wi-Fi 8 ROG Rapture GT-BN98 at Computex in June, and we were there...
Razer had a bountiful display of products to show at Gamescom 2026, many of which come with substantial price tags. However, my eyes lit up when I saw the new Razer Reclusa X Mini 65% keyboard, especially as it's got a $50/£60 MSRP.I picked it up and twisted it around in my hands, expecting it to bend like a piece of cardboard thanks to some budget materials. Nope, it seems...
Found 10k worth of ram sitting in my garage from r/LinusTechTipsAs the spawn of two IT professionals, my childhood home is still steeped in a whole lot of old hardware. It's amazing what my folks have lying around—but I very much doubt they've got a horde of RAM they've just neglected to tell me about.One Redditor recently revealed they have roughly $10,000 AUD (about $7,200 USD) worth of RAM squirrelled away in...
There are reports today that Nvidia is going to be releasing a new variant of its GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card with a cut-down GB203 GPU instead of the GB205 chip it originally launched with. Could this be good news for consumers? Well, no and maybe.The idea behind using bigger chips to fill out the inventory of smaller cards basically gives manufacturers something to do with graphics processors that don't...
The Elder Scrolls 6 is hotly anticipated—and has been for a full eight years following its announcement at E3 2018 and complete silence on it ever since. Instead, Bethesda worked very hard at trying to push Starfield which, for a studio that was once the pinnacle of open world RPG makers, just wasn't quite up to snuff. The setting was a little dull and boilerplate, the procedurally-generated planets didn't have...
Atlus will probably remake Persona 1 and 2 one day, according to a new interview with series producer Kazuhisa Wada conducted by Rock Paper Shotgun. "For me, I think a remaster or remake is some kind of cultural preservation," Wada said. "As a creator, it’s your duty to take the things you’ve done and make sure they’re not lost, and are still around in the modern day. From that same...
