Before you ask, no, Aperture Desk Job is not Portal 3. (Alas.) Valve’s description for its “playable short” is painfully clear on that point. Still, this unexpected return to the Portal universe is fun nonetheless—especially when anyone can get in on it, not just Steam Deck owners.
Well, almost anyone. Or at least a lot of Portal fans. More on that in a second.
This free game puts you in the thick of the action in Aperture Science’s facilities, right behind
I’m just going to come out and say it: Printers are the most unfairly maligned technology in modern history.
Despite all the condescension they get, printers do a lot of things right, especially compared to other tech gear. They don’t scream for your attention so they can serve you targeted advertising.

Finding a good free backup solution is easier than you’d think. A host of companies offer free online backup or free backup software—and perhaps surprisingly, nearly all of them are quite competent.
Of course these companies have ulterior motives. Their free versions usually only provide enough storage for essential data, or lack some advanced features that pros would want. They hope you’ll love the program or service so much, or find it so useful that you’ll eventua
Apple added “a monster of a chip” to its Apple M1 family on Tuesday: the M1 Ultra, which reflects some familiar approaches to chip design and presents a high-end contender for the PC market to compete against.

The nifty part about Google Docs, Google Sheets, and even Google Slides is that you can edit your files offline. When you’re not connected to the internet (or on a limited or bad connection), you can continue what yo
If you’re looking to upgrade your home network for under $200, we’ve got an excellent deal for you. Amazon is selling a three-pack of its Eero 6 dual-band mesh Wi-Fi 6 system for $195. That’s $84 off the usual price.
