Back in April, we reported on the commencement of an investigation by the US government. Specifically, the goal of the probe was to look at the country’s reliance on foreign semiconductor production and how such imports might affect national security.

Microsoft is awfully proud of its latest version of Windows, as it claims it’s now less prone to failure. This would make for a pleasant change, as the first few months with the software were not great, to put it lightly. As noted in the Microsoft blog, “We’re also proud to share that Windows 11…

The first time I played Phantom Blade Zero earlier this year, I was bad at it—which might’ve had something to do with jumping straight into a boss fight while I was still learning the controls.

Samsung’s latest line of flagship phones, the Galaxy S25 series, has already made a meteoric impact since it landed back in February with the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra (before being joined shortly after by the immaculately svelte S25 Edge). But which phone in Samsung’s latest lineup is best for gaming? Well, the answer to…
