We're used to seeing the occasional ad on Google Search, but it's a new era, and now AI is helping you with your search queries as well. The bad news is that Google is, too, making efforts to embed ads in those AI search results as well. Now, they're being greatly expanded.

If you've been looking at Intel cards as an alternative to the NVIDIA/AMD duopoly, you might have found that there's not a whole ton of manufacturers making custom Arc cards. Acer has just revealed a couple of custom Intel cards, though, so your options have widened just a tad bit. And one of them is absolutely tiny.

Threadripper CPUs are not worth putting on a gaming PC most of the time, but if you have a particular use case that can really benefit from having a lot of cores and threads, this is probably the CPU to get. AMD has just refreshed its Threadripper range with the new Threadripper 9000 and Threadripper Pro 9000 series.

Not too long ago, we heard that AMD wanted to step back from the flagship graphics card market, and that decision has been strongly reflected in its Radeon RX 9000 lineup. Both of the cards we've seen in this range are mid-range cards, and now, we're going even cheaper with the addition of the Radeon RX 9060 XT.

AI detectors, while a potentially useful feature, are currently a mess. Tools like ZeroGPT like to do a lot of false positives and false negatives. Still, the need for an actually reliable AI detector is real, and that's why efforts continue to be made in that direction. Google has its own, though you can't use it yet.

While most of us buy graphics cards for gaming, there are graphics cards for other purposes as well. NVIDIA has its Quadro range, and AMD's serious range is sold as the Radeon PRO series. Intel has been in the graphics business for two generations now, and the company is finally branching out that second gen into other non-gaming applications.

PCIe Gen 5 SSDs are still a luxury more than an actual necessity, but it's good to see that they're becoming more commonplace and, therefore, have started to go down in price compared to the first batch. Crucial just launched some of the best ones we've seen yet, in case you're hunting down options for your next gaming PC.

I'm personally a fan of the Zephyrus G14, but if 14 inches is a tad too small for you, the Zephyrus G16 line might be a better pick for you. Just like the Zephyrus G14 got a refresh, the G16 did too, and it's looking amazing.

Steam has been around for over 21 years, and it's turning 22 in a few months. That's a big number. And a lot of releases have debuted on the platform through that timeframe. Now, Steam is gaining a bestsellers list that goes back until the launch of Half-Life 2—the first in-house game Valve debuted on Steam.

microSD card slots on Android phones, especially higher-end ones, have gone from being a standard feature to a rare commodity only some phones have. If you long for the days where microSD cards and expandable storage in general were commonplace, and you want a higher-end phone that fits that description, Sony's latest Xperia 1 VII might fit the bill.

Apple just got out (badly) of a high-profile legal battle with Epic, but it's not the only legal battle Apple has lost recently. You might be entitled to up to $100 in compensation if you've had Siri snoop on you anytime within the last ten years.

Razer's peripherals are pretty cool, but with the fact that they're made for PC gaming and Windows remains the top platform for PC gaming, other operating systems have been neglected. At long last, Razer's Synapse software is finally becoming available on macOS, so you can manage them all.

Laptops are meant as portable computers, but sometimes, you gotta actually wonder how "portable" some of them are. This latest laptop by Lenovo packs some serious specs inside, but if you're planning to put this in your backpack, you better not skip back day.

A lot of you guys know I'm a sucker for computers that are dimensionally on the smaller size. Some of them are better than others, some of them are more compact than others. This latest MSI computer might not win any beauty contests, but it's tiny and it's pretty good on the inside. If only you could buy it.

Everyone's less favorite part of streaming services is the fact that they seem to be packed with more and more ads every time. If you have a Roku streaming device or TV, you now won't be able to escape ads even if you pause your playback.

As powerful as modern smartwatches have become, some people still yearn for the simpler times when the Pebble range of smartwatches was around. So it was a nice surprise to see that the creator of Pebble is bringing them back. We now have our first look at the new watch in action.

I'm sure your news feed has been filled with news about tariffs and how they affect your pocket. Get ready, then, for even more increases, because tariffs just became a lot more wide-reaching.

Ever since Apple's iPad range started using the company's desktop-range M series of chips, it has become a good middle-ground option for those who don't want to go all the way up to a Mac. If you're there too, the iPad Air range is currently greatly discounted, letting you save money on some of Apple's best tablets.

The Apple Watch SE is certainly one of Apple's most interesting smartwatch launches in recent memory—with the company's smartwatches becoming every time more expensive, an affordable one is certainly a breath of fresh air. Now, the company's cheapest smartwatch is even cheaper.
