There’s a lot to be said for the simple things in life. For a start, they’re often cheap—and hardware doesn’t come much cheaper than this Amazon Basics USB condenser microphone. You can pick up one of these teeny-tiny little units for a mere $26/£23 at Amazon, although it must be said, that’s the sort of…
If you know your noise rock from your industrial, your ambient noise from harsh noise wall, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy the chaotic screeches of an ethernet cable plugged into a Eurorack module. If not, you might find it a little cool anyway, like I do. As spotted by Hackaday, creator Wenzellabs recently showed…
I’ve been itching to play a new Everdark Sovereign for a while now, ever since FromSoftware introduced a round-robin of old Everdarks to Elden Ring Nightreign, including Gaping Jaw, Sentient Pest, and Darkdrift Knight.

The full interview covers things like Newell’s daily routine (“get up, work, go scuba diving“), as well as some amusing drive-bys on conventional Silicon Valley wisdom, such as why startups chasing VC money makes no…
It’s about time Razer launched a properly new version of its flagship esports-focused BlackShark gaming headset. After all, the BlackShark V2 launched five years ago and was one of my early PC Gamer reviews on my return to the fold back in 2020. As a card-carrying member of the HyperX Cloud Alpha fan club, I…
Artificial superintelligence, which is arguably a synonym for AGI or artificial general intelligence, is “now in sight.” So says no lesser an authority than his Royal Zuckness, Meta CEO and self-appointed soothsayer on the subject of synthetic thought, Mark Zuckerberg. El Zuck made his comment in an open letter posted on the Meta website and…
From powering watches to phones, handheld consoles to desktop PCs, office servers to data centers, processors can be found everywhere and in every size possible.
