5 unexpected ways to repurpose your old GTX GPU instead of selling it for pennies
When we think of exciting graphics cards, we usually think of the most expensive GPUs. Think the RTX 5090s or the RTX 5080s, not the RTX 3050s. But cheap or pricey, most people are no longer thrilled by the idea of an old Nvidia GTX GPU, and rightfully so. Nvidia has moved on to the RTX 20-series in 2018, after all.

Your smart home probably has too many automations
Automation is the key to any good smart home. Controlling your smart home with apps, voice commands, or wall-mounted dashboards is fine, but ultimately, you're still just pushing buttons. True automation makes things happen without you having to lift a finger, but it's all too easy for the number of automations to get out of control.
The second generation of Boox Go 10.3 e-ink tablet is finally here
Boox is debuting a new generation of Go e-readers and e-ink tablets. The Boox Go 10.3-inch e-ink tablet, which resembles the Kindle Scribe, is on its second generation and now comes in two models: the standard Go 10.3 and the Go 10.3 Lumi. The latter features a dual-tone front light, designed for reading in low light.
The new Boox Go 10.3 e-ink tablets are ultra thin, just 4.6mm thick. Credit: BooxThe previous generation of Boox Go 10.3 had the Android 12 system, but Gen II is upgrading to Android 15. With access to the Google Play Store, you have access to millions of apps, including all the reading essentials — Libby, The Kindle Store, and Kobo e-books. The tablet supports 26 file formats, including PDF, EPUB, MOBI, DOCX, MP3, and more. It's even equipped with speakers for audiobook listeners. It comes with a whopping 64GB of storage, four times the amount of storage you can find in most e-readers.
The Boox Go 10.3 measures 4.6 millimeters thick and 12.7 ounces, while the Lumi is barely bigger, measuring 4.8 millimeters and 12.8 ounces to support the added front light. Both models have 300 ppi resolution, the same you'll find in the Kindle Scribe. Boox Go e-ink tablets come with the Boox Magnetic InkSense Plus stylus and a slim magnetic case, so it's like a digital notebook.
The Boox Go 10.3 (Gen II) costs $419.99 while the Boox Go 10.3 Lumi (Gen II) costs $449.99. As of March 17, both models are available for purchase at Boox and Amazon.
Having recently tested and loved the new generation of Kindle Scribe, we're looking forward to putting it head-to-head with the new Boox Go to see which is the better e-reader and e-ink tablet.

Hear me out: Plastic phones are better than metal and glass
Nearly every high-end smartphone today is made of metal and glass—and they all look the same. Glass on the front, metal wrapped around the sides, and usually a combination of the two on the back. Plastic has been banished to “cheap” phones, but it really shouldn’t be that way.
This is the Docker setting that Plex users always get wrong

Calling Nvidia's DLSS 5 "AI slop" completely misses the point of modern rendering
Another day, another DLSS version sows discord among the gaming masses. It takes me right back to the release of the first public version of DLSS, and all the surrounding negativity. Yet, today, all but a vocal minority of gamers deny that DLSS has been the killer feature of the generation.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review: Privacy like this comes at a cost
It's easy to think the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is more of the same, seeing as how it looks just like the last three or four models. In a lot of ways, it is.

Jimmy Kimmel roasts Jake Paul for wanting to run for office
Jimmy Kimmel has already shared his thoughts on Jake Paul's recent appearance at a Trump rally, but on Monday he also reacted to the influencer-turned-boxer's interview with the president in which Paul talks more about his interest in politics.

"I mean really. We're gonna look back at Donald Trump one day like he was Thomas Jefferson when we have Jake Paul in the White House."

Marshall launches its new lightweight party speaker, the Bromley 450
Marshall, purveyor of vintage-inspired headphones and speakers, is launching its second party speaker, the Bromley 450. The 450 is a lightweight and compact companion to Marshall's first party speaker, the Bromley 750. But despite its smaller stature, it has a big presence in the loudest of rooms.
“With Bromley 450, our goal was to take everything we loved about the Bromley 750 and bring it into a more compact form. It delivers the same signature sound: fast, powerful bass, clean mids, and detailed highs," says Malcolm Kennedy, Director of Audio & Acoustics at Marshall Group.
The Bromley 450 includes integrated lights inspired by '70s stages. Credit: MarshallThe Bromley 450 comes with True Stereophonic 360 sound and over 40 hours of battery life. We've come to expect long battery life in Marshall's devices, having tested the Marshall Major V headphones, which have over 100 hours of battery life. It's encased in a water-based PU leather wrap with a metal grate toting Marshall's signature logo as well as integrated lights. Hanna Wallner, Product Manager at Marshall Group, adds, "This speaker is smaller and more affordable yet still packed with impressive features including sound that hits every corner, a stage light-inspired light show, and our unique Marshall design.”
Just over 26 pounds, the Bromley 450 is easy to tote around with its built-in handle. Credit: MarshallUnlike the Bromley 750, which can be wheeled like a suitcase, the Bromley 450 has a built-in handle, meaning you will have to carry it by hand. Luckily, it's lightweight, weighing just over 26 pounds. It's fit for gatherings both indoors and outside with an IP55 rating, making it dust and splash-proof. It includes two combo jacks so you can equip it with mics or DJ equipment.
The speaker has Bluetooth and Auracast, allowing you to connect other Auracast devices for surround sound. The Bromley 450 is now available for purchase at Marshall, Amazon, and Best Buy, retailing for $799.99.
