Xbox Ally handhelds: Microsoft takes its next step towards a Windows-driven future

After reports that Microsoft is "sidelining" its own first-party developed handheld, the new Xbox Showcase revealed two new mobile devices - Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X.

Starlink now charges $5 a month to pause its high-speed, low-latency internet service, a feature that used to be available for free. It affects Roam, Residential, and Priority subscribers in the US, most of Europe, and Canada with lots of exceptions.

Norton VPN review: A VPN that fails to meet Norton's standards

One thing I need to make clear right from the start: this is a review of Norton VPN (formerly Norton Secure VPN, and briefly Norton Ultra VPN) as a standalone app, not of the VPN feature in the Norton 360 package.

Recently I've been spending a lot of time looking down. Not because I'm fascinated by my feet or because there's dog shit on the street to dodge.
