An Anti-Apple Consumer Who Laughed At MacBook Prices And Lack Of Customizations Has “Hit Rock Bottom,” Saying The Windows Laptop Market Has Been A “Nightmare”

It took a DRAM shortage to finally break the back of the Windows laptop market, whereas Apple’s MacBook range has been somewhat stabilized in terms of pricing, save for the hike the company was forced to introduce as its memory stockpile ran out.

Samsung's new bonus plan has created an elite class of workers in its memory division, enabling these workers to receive a compensation that is orders of magnitude higher than what the going rate is for other divisions.

CONTROL Resonant – Everything We Know About Remedy’s Manhattan-based First Action RPG Featuring Dylan Faden

CONTROL Resonant is Remedy Entertainment's sequel to 2019's critically acclaimed Control, and it arrives as one of the most dramatic pivots in the studio's history. Despite Control's strong commercial performance (the game recently surpassed six million units sold and is therefore Remedy's best-selling game to date), rather than a third-person shooter continuing Jesse Faden's story, Resonant hands the reins to her brother, Dylan Faden, and swaps gunplay for fast-paced melee combat
