Microsoft is trying to buy onetime PlayStation figurehead Crash Bandicoot (and the rest of Activision Blizzard) in a deal that would rewrite gaming history, and now Sony is striking back. On Monday, the company announced plans to acquire Bungie—the creator of Destiny and Halo—for $3.6 billion dollars.
That’s a whole lotta Bright Dust.
We’re in the midst of an intense period of consolidation for the gaming industry and with Microsoft-owned Bethesda hinting that its
Ask someone which version of Windows they have, and they might already know if it’s Windows 7, 8.1, 10, or 11. (By the way, if you’re on Windows 7, we recommend upgrading—it’s past its end of life.)
But equally important is the edition you have—that is, if you’re running Home or Pro. Some features are only available to you with Windows Pro, like BitLocker, which allows you to encrypt your storage drive.
Regardless which bit of information you need, fig
Technology is ridiculous. It wasn’t that long ago when getting a reasonably priced 1TB NVMe SSD was next to impossible for most folks. Now, you can easily find a well priced 1TB microSD card. That’s right. A pure terabyte of storage that can fit on the tip of your finger is cheaper than ever. Amazon is selling the 1TB SanDisk Extreme for just $150.
MicroSD cards can’t compare to the transfer speeds of internal SSDs, of course, but you can get reasonable performance out of
It’s a good day to get a new laptop at a good price. Amazon is selling a Ryzen-based 14-inch Acer Swift 3 for just $580. Acer puts this particular model at $700, so this is really a great deal on Amazon.
This could easily be an everyday laptop since it has 512GB of storage, which is the bare minimum you’d need for a daily driver without resorting to cloud storage. This varies by person of course and 512GB may not be a large enough capacity for some.
This version of the Acer
Many years ago, Google promised that you’d never have to worry about running out of Gmail storage. That was before the company stopped expanding Gmail’s free storage space in 2013 and gave everyone a flat 15GB to use across all Google services. Hitting Gmail’s storage limit has started to feel inevitable as a result. You may even run out of space even faster now that Google has stopped offering unlimited Google Photos. If you’re still backing up your smartphone photos w
Nothing is certain in life but death, taxes, and people arguing about computer components. With Intel’s 12th-gen “Alder Lake H” laptop CPUs finally here, it’s officially time to start the back-and-forth bickering over whether Intel’s flagship 12th-gen Core i9 mobile chip is faster than Apple’s ballyhooed M1 Max.
You might be thinking it doesn’t even matter since few people ever actually switch. Just pick what’s best for your needs and move on.

Personal trainers charge a lot of money for their services. That’s why, if you’re trying to get in shape, a smartwatch may be a better option. And this one from Interepro is particularly compelling since it has some fairly unique features that you’re unlikely to find anywhere else.
At first glance, the Interepro Smartwatch looks like the rest. It features a sleek design that suits any occasion, it can track your heart rate, blood oxygen, steps, and
When Spanish police were informed of an illegal electricity tap, a small building stealing a huge amount of power from its neighbors, they suspected an indoor marijuana farm. After all, weed needs a lot of lights and hydroponics if you want to grow it in the middle of Seville. But when the cops raided the building, they found racks and racks of humming graphics cards instead. The operation wasn’t an illegal marijuana farm, it was an illegal cryptocurrency farm.
