GSC Game World has announced that STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl has officially gone gold.

However, on October 27, the Polish developer was forced to announce a short delay to […]

Cooling m.2 drives wasn't really a concern back then, but today's PCI-e Gen 5 SSDs aren't able to sustain their peak performance without some form of cooling. The controller found in many PCI-e 5 SSDs currently on the market is Phison's E26, which has a TJ Max (maximum temperature) of 125C - much hotter than previous generation products. With temperatures up on modern SSDs, the need to keep modern Gen 5 SSDs cool has resulted […]

Doing so requires you to completely fill in the “Mystery Board,” a grid featuring 99 different achievement-style tasks.

The Android 15 beta 2 received a lot of attention considering the major user-facing upgrades. Even though the update does not bring groundbreaking visual changes, it is still a big jump from the minor incremental updates we have been receiving since Android 13.

If you are trying to figure out how to disable Samsung Wallet, this guide is for you as we will tell you how you can take care […]
I have discussed time and again how Circle to Search is the best feature on Android, and I cannot wait for it to become widely available on other devices, as well.
