$500 fiber optic HDMI cable delivers flawless 48 Gbps performance across a staggering 990 feet — crushes 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz over long distances

The HDMI standard can often be unclear, with the same version number referring to completely different capabilities across products. You can technically pay your way out of this confusion by going with an expensive fiber-optic HDMI cable that maintains its full bandwidth over much longer distances.

Intel Arrow Lake Refresh CPU prices shot up to 17% above MSRP just 48 hours after launch — dynamic pricing trumps manufacturer's recommended pricing

The new Core Ultra 200S Plus series has received widespread acclaim within the community, and we liked it as well for rejuvenating Intel's otherwise underwhelming CPU generation. Part of the reason they're getting good reviews is their excellent price-to-performance ratio, which seems to be slightly undone at the moment. Read more

People who turned out genuinely kind despite a tough childhood didn’t learn kindness — they absorbed its absence so completely that its presence became the one thing they couldn’t withhold from anyone who needed it, not as a decision, but as the only response available to a person formed the way they were formed

I’ve noticed something about the kindest people I know. Almost none of them had it easy growing up. That might sound counterintuitive. You’d think kindness would be a product of warmth, stability, and plenty of love during the formative years. And sometimes it is. But some of the most genuinely compassionate people I’ve encountered didn’t ... Read more Read more
