When most people think of fun Japanese sports cars, one lightweight roadster usually comes to mind, but there’s another classic that many drivers overlook. A mid-engine icon from Toyota delivers a unique blend of balance, responsiveness, and sheer driving enjoyment that continues to thrill enthusiasts decades after its debut. For those who crave pure fun behind the wheel, it arguably offers an experience that even the most beloved roadster can’t quite match.

Amazon has agreed to a massive class action settlement that could put money back into the pockets of millions of U.S. shoppers who were incorrectly denied refunds on returns. This is big news for anyone who has ever had to chase down a credit after sending an item back to the retailer.

The Proton compatibility layer has helped bring many PC games to Linux, and it's updated regularly with new features and improvements. Now, Proton 10.0-4 has arrived with 19 new compatible games and a pile of bug fixes.

Google is showing no signs of slowing down the updates to Google Messages. And while some updates are better than others, a few highly requested features could finally be coming that'll improve the experience on your smartwatch.

AMD's new RX 9000 Series graphics cards have been turning heads for a good reason—they offer excellent value. But with the global DRAM shortage threatening to drive prices up, now could be the perfect time to explore the used market. And what better choice than AMD's most powerful gaming graphics card ever—a card that sometimes even outperforms the latest RX 9070 XT?

If you read our Linux newsletter, you know that I've tried several desktop environments over the years. I'm yet to find one I like better than KDE Plasma, though, and these are the reasons why.

You've got your Plex server set up and your content loaded into your Plex library, but when you play back certain videos, you get constant buffering, or poor image quality, or both. That's a common issue people face, and often the cause has to do with how your Plex server handles transcoding.

After five months of work, the developers of Heroic Games Launcher have debuted version 2.19 of its open source game manager targeting Linux users. It includes experimental support for a new gaming platform to go alongside its existing support for Epic Games Store, GoG Store, and Amazon Luna.

Stuttering and lag are some of the toughest issues to diagnose on a Windows computer, which is a shame because in my experience Windows is the operating system where this crops up most often.

Linux—you've heard of it, and maybe you've given it a try once or twice. However, statistically, you're probably not a committed desktop Linux user. Globally, as of 2025, just over 4% of desktop PCs run Linux. That's a tiny slice of the market, and yet it's a milestone for Linux worth celebrating.

Most sports cars lose value quickly, leaving buyers with steep depreciation just when they expected thrills and style. But one affordable performance car defies that trend, holding its value far better than most of its peers and giving owners surprising long-term equity. In a segment where rapid price drops are the norm, this model’s exceptional resale strength makes it one of the smartest buys for drivers who want fun without the typical financial hit.

If you're thinking of dual-booting Linux alongside Windows on your PC, there are a few things I recommend you be sure to avoid doing. You'll be modifying the underlying system and building the foundation for your PC workflow that you don't want to mess up.

Who's ready to buy more tools this year? Milwaukee is already one of the best, offering a solid collection of power tools and accessories for enthusiasts or professionals, and more are on the way. While we recently confirmed over 150 new items are coming in 2026, here are four more that are actually worth waiting for.

It’s hard to believe that Samsung has been refining its foldable phones for seven years already. Last month, the company officially confirmed its first double-hinged foldable, and now it has confirmed the price and availability as well. Everyone knew it would be expensive—now we know just how expensive.

If you’re looking to upgrade to a new phone, your default solution for the old one might be to trade it in. The truth is, though, that most trade-in programs offer pennies on the dollar, so you’d only be getting a fraction of your phone’s actual value.

Linux fans like to dream of the day when Linux is a mainstream OS instead of a hacker's tool. As much fun and useful as Linux is, it seems that Linux will still be a "geek" OS. Here's why the Linux community should embrace this rather than fight it.

NVMe SSDs are quickly becoming one of the most expensive components in a typical gaming PC. Yet despite their importance, many people ignore a crucial factor for performance and longevity: cooling.

The 2026 EE BAFTA Film Awards ceremony will air on Feb. 22.

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, where the filmmaker best known for horror took his own unexpected journey to bring J R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novel to life on the big screen. Each installment told the tale of Elijah Wood's Frodo Baggins, as the young Hobbit set out from the Shire to destroy the One Ring before its master could rise and cast his shadow over the world once more. Despite it being a seemingly impossible task, Jackson succeeded in creating not only a faithful adaptation but also cementing his trilogy as one of the best movie series ever made.

Shortcuts in an operating system or application can make or break the user experience, and frustratingly, Windows certainly has a lot you probably won't use. Luckily, there is a free, open-source app that lets you customize almost every single shortcut in Windows and most apps.
