And even after that, there have been more films made outside of the MCU umbrella than you can shake an Infinity Gauntlet at.

Nearly every Linux user seems to remember their first encounter with the OS. I decided to try booting up the first distro I ever tried, Knoppix, to see how well it held up since I first tried it over 20 years ago.

Lost among the fanfare about the iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro’s chunky camera block is news of a fallen comrade: the Plus-sized base model iPhone. This is bad news for anyone who preferred a larger screen, but there are still some options available.

As a long-time Pixel owner, last year’s release took me by surprise. I didn’t think the series needed a refresh, but I was quickly won over. This year, the Google Pixel 10 is more of the same, and some critical upgrades make me feel like I don’t need the Pro version anymore.

The AirPods Pro 3 are here, and they're a huge jump from the AirPods Pro 2 in almost every way. But I hope you have a cable lying around, because Apple is not shipping one with its newest earbuds.

Apple's first Pro smartphone arrived in 2019 as the iPhone 11 Pro, and ever since then I’ve routinely purchased the latest Pro Max model. This year I'm skipping the recently introduced iPhone 17 Pro, and this significant change is not a decision I have taken lightly.

If you’ve been using Windows for quite some time now, then you must have heard about God Mode. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard about it before, as I will share everything about Windows God Mode and how it completely changed the way I use my Windows PC.

Microsoft Edge feels like a billboard more than a browser, which is why I've never used it as my default. Recently, though, I installed Windows on a laptop that was too old to run even a regular browser, so I ended up spending some time with Edge. Turns out, it can be a solid browser with a few tweaks.

About a year ago, I read a comment on Reddit suggesting that instead of dealing with fan curves and sudden noise jumps, you could just run your CPU cooler at a constant speed. Naturally, I had to try this out. Almost a year later, I still run my CPU cooler at a steady RPM.

With so many choices, knowing which models stand out for long-term dependability is crucial.

Apple’s brand new slim iPhone is official in the form of the iPhone Air. Pretty much every detail was leaked prior to the big event, including the name. One thing that wasn’t really spoken about, however, was 5G performance.

The iPhone 17 range was announced yesterday, and it's a pretty different lineup to anything we've seen before. And Apple really wants you to buy it. So much so that it has not only discontinued the iPhone 16 Pro range, but it has also nerfed the regular iPhone 16 phones, too.

I have long not been a Google guy, but I still considered Pixel phones to be devices I could easily recommend to others. Google's approach to AI has changed that. I no longer feel comfortable using or recommending these phones.

Apple's Watch Ultra range is weird, but if you have the dough and you need a watch that can withstand a lifestyle even more active than yours, it's probably well worth the investment. Apple has just launched the latest Apple Watch Ultra 3 in addition to a new Apple Watch SE, and both are pretty decent upgrades.

Being born in the late 80s, I had the privilege of growing up with some of the best films ever made. My earliest memories are of watching Spielberg's ET and other masterpieces of the era.

Windows mostly crash due to faulty RAM or some other hardware issue, but what if I tell you that a simple file of just a few KB can also crash your system and leave you with a BSOD screen? I’m talking about the OSDATA file. Here's everything you need to know about it.

The Nissan Z NISMO has always been positioned as the ultimate expression of Nissan’s legendary sports car lineage.
