AMD’s Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the star of Micro Center’s discounted PC part bundle

Building (or rebuilding) a gaming PC can be difficult. It’s complex stuff, making sure everything’s compatible and whatnot. The next toughest part is finding a deal — and having the patience to wait for price drops without getting so antsy you buy everything at full price (shamefully raises hand). If you’re considering an AMD build, […] Read more

I have been reporting in Washington for nearly six years, and on politics for over a decade, and I’ve attended more corporate-sponsored policy events (and tend to nod off during them) than I can remember.

The humble screenshot might be the key to great AI assistants

If you want to make the most out of a world increasingly filled with AI tools, here’s a habit to develop: start taking screenshots. Lots of screenshots. Of anything and everything.

EcoFlow just announced improved versions of its Glacier refrigerator-freezer combo and Wave air conditioner-heater combo, two battery-powered off-grid appliances that can be recharged with the sun.

Razer Blade 16 (2025) review: ultra settings on an ultra-thin laptop for an ultra-high price

Few gaming laptops stand out like Razer’s Blades.

The Trump tariff auto sales rush is on

If there’s one thing the auto industry hates, it’s uncertainty.
