While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories.

Lights On, Temps Up? Coolmoon CM-M2A SSD m.2 NVMe Heatsink Review With temps up on modern SSDs, the need to keep modern Gen 5 SSDs cool has resulted in a market for m.2 heat sinks and there's a wide variety of choices to consider. Heat sinks of sizes large and small, in a variety of form factors and even with active cooling, are now available to keep your SSD cool.

Keeping your SSD cool without compatibility issues: Acidalie VB01 SSD m.2 Heatsink Review: The need to keep modern Gen 5 SSDs cool has resulted in a market for m.2 heat sinks, and there's a wide variety of choices to consider. Heat sinks of sizes large (with compatibility issues) and small, in a variety of form factors and even with active cooling, are now available to keep your SSD cool. In previous reviews of heatsinks, some users have expressed concerns about the height and size of the units I was reviewing. It's true that many of the strongest NVMe m.2 heatsinks […]
Activision and Infinity Ward (along with the other core studios behind World at War and such) have been making Call of Duty a yearly outing for three console generations now. Typically, players would get to enjoy an Infinity War-developed modern title before alternating into whichever Treyarch or Sledgehammer Games have been working on. This year’s entry changes the formula by bringing a direct follow-up to 2022’s Modern Warfare II rather than giving a change of time period and focus. Last year’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare II ended with a tease of Makarov, the antagonist behind the original Modern Warfare […]

A remake of Super Mario RPG wasn't something almost anybody had on their bingo cards for this year. Over the past decade or so, Nintendo has seemed dead set on distancing Mario from his rich RPG past, with the Paper Mario games being significantly simplified and the Mario & Luigi series being allowed to slowly fizzle out. And yet, here we are in 2023 with a lavish remake of Super Mario RPG on the near horizon. The only thing predictable about Nintendo is their unpredictability. Is this the star-studded remake Super Mario RPG fans have been dreaming of? Or should […]
Despite its lukewarm reception in the West with the first few entries in the series, the Persona series has turned into a worldwide phenomenon with the third and fourth entries in the series, further solidifying its popularity with the fifth entry in the series. This game, in particular, seems to have resonated the most with fans, as the story of the Phantom Thieves did not end with the main game, getting expanded with Persona 5 Royal, an enhanced version of the original game, and with a few spin-off titles like Persona 5 Strikers, an extremely competent mix between the mechanics […]
