I've had "the chat" with them about the reliability of LLMs, but like most people they do indulge in social media fads from time to time. Whether it's using ChatGPT to turn you into an action figure, or cartoonizing yourself, they're now well-versed in uploading photos to a chatbot as part of a prompt.

The three-row SUV world isn’t what it used to be. What started as a practical, no-frills family space has exploded into a battle of comfort, tech, and style, with features once only found in luxury rides showing up in more affordable models.

It sometimes feels like new SUVs are trying to be mini buses. Yet, for those who remember the disruptive spirit of the original Infiniti FX, a "bus" was never the goal—style and presence were. With the world debut of the 2027 Infiniti QX65, the automaker is returning to those roots, offering a midsize crossover that prioritizes a dramatic silhouette and personal luxury over a crowded third row.

Nvidia's recent DLSS 5 announcement caused quite the stir in various tech and gaming spaces, and that's not necessarily a good thing.

I'm getting tired of seeing mini PCs compared to actual desktops. People line up the specs next to traditional towers, compare benchmarks, and declare the tiny box a full replacement for the much bigger one.

Acura has not increased the MSRP in an effort to draw attention away from some of its biggest rivals, like the BMW X1, Lexus UX, and Volvo XC40.

At a time when even previously midrange GPUs are awfully overpriced, many people have to settle for the dreaded 8GB VRAM.

In an ideal world, you definitely want to have more than 8 gigabytes of video memory in your graphics card.

The Honda Prelude has long been celebrated as one of Honda’s most engaging and stylish coupes. With sleek lines, precise handling, and a spirited driving character, it delivers a driving experience that few compact cars can match. For enthusiasts, it represents a rare combination of fun, reliability, and practicality in a single package.

Prime Video's deeply odd and delightfully weird library of documentaries and docuseries is the gift that keeps on giving, allowing you to bounce around from true-crime to cryptids to sweeping sports docs to super-specific subcultures.
