AMD's Ryzen 5 3600 processor has hit its lowest ever price on Amazon, according to popular price tracking websites. This 6C/12C chip may be getting long in the tooth, over five years since launch, but it can still hold its ground in a budget PC build, thanks to its new $67 price tag. For the price, you will also get AMD's Wraith Stealth Cooler in the box. Or, choose the beefier

Windows 11 25H2, the operating system's latest major feature update, rolled out just last month. Just a few weeks ago, rumors of a "26H1" release started circulating, and now we have confirmation of its existence: Microsoft has just released the first build of Windows 11 26H1 — Preview Build 28000 — in the Canary channel of the Insider Preview program.

Back in 2021, AMD's crypto-mining-focused BC-250 graphics card, powered by the Sony PlayStation 5’s APU instead of regular GPU chips, started popping up on eBay for around $500. Fast forward to the present day, and similar units are now available in China for as low as £96, or about $120. One such unit was ordered and procured by the

Transparent displays aren't perhaps as groundbreaking as they once used to be. We've seen plenty of see-through OLED TVs, laptops, and even DIY projects as of late.

Bank of America is facing a proposed class and collective action lawsuit that accuses the company of failing to pay hundreds of hourly workers for time spent booting their computers, logging in, and launching required software before officially starting their shifts.

A computer technician on YouTube shared their refurbishment process for an Asus 9800GT Matrix GPU that was allegedly used by a smoker.

Twenty-five years ago, to this day, the company introduced DirectX 8 . The release was accompanied by little fanfare, no generation-defining tech demo, but it carried one major breakthrough with it — programmable shaders — which would forever revolutionize the way GPUs render graphics.

Before DirectX 8, graphics cards worked on a fixed-function

There’s a new contender being prepared for the 8-bit console arena, but will it find anyone there? The new GameTank by Clydeware is an open source design leveraging venerable MOS Technology 6502 -based processing. However, it may punch well above its weight, with its clean-sheet dismissal of legacy baggage, its twin-CPUs, and its custom framebuffer-based graphics architecture.

Importantly, the GameTank isn’t for playing games (or emulators
