In brief: HP's gaming-focused "Omen" device line-up got some fresh new product additions today, including two new pre-built gaming desktops and a G-Sync IPS monitor. Additionally, HP revamped its Omen Command Center software and completely redesigned the Omen logo.

Editor's take: A fan-made PC port of Super Mario 64 quietly surfaced over the weekend and is gaining mainstream attention today. Unsurprisingly, the game is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. A 4K clip of it over on YouTube pretty much depicts how you remember the game (but not how it actually was on the N64). It's too bad that Nintendo is going to take it down in 3... 2... 1...

The big picture: Microsoft originally planned to introduce Windows 10X with dual-screen devices like the Surface Neo. The pandemic ensured that wasn't going to happen, forcing Microsoft to rethink and continue developing Windows 10X with single-screen devices in mind. Is that a mistake?

Microsoft Chief Product Officer Panos Panay on Monday revealed that over four trillion minutes are now being spent by customers in Windows 10 per month, a healthy 75 percent increase year over year.

In a nutshell: Augmented reality is a promising new technology that could one day have a tremendous impact on our daily lives. But it's not there yet, and part of the reason why has to do with practicality. An app like the one highlighted here provides a new way of thinking about AR and could lead to a whole new category of apps that leverage the tech in a totally different way.

In a nutshell: Sony says that it was someone outside of SIE or Naughty Dog leaked the TLoU2 spoiler footage last week, but would not elaborate. Multiple sources claim the assets were obtained through a security vulnerability coded into older ND games patches. Hackers dumping the code allegedly found AWS passwords to Naughty Dog servers.

Last week, game-ruining spoilers leaked for The Last of Us Part II, including the ending. Rumors were that an angry Naughty Dog employee had posted the game footage. The studio later issued an
