    Logitech Pop Mouse review: Emoji button meets colorful simplicity

    My mouse, Logitech G600, required Logitech G Hub to have a full functionality of the mouse. Even my left and right clicking will not register unless I have the G Hub running. Without the G Hub, the basic functionality of my mouse is basically null, the only one that works is cursor. In some...

    AMD and Microsoft release fixes for Ryzen slowdowns in Windows 11

    They don't use Windows.old folder when you upgraded it to Win11? Normally upgrade will put existing files and folders in Windows.old folder (usually in root folder) so you wouldn't lose your data. Unless it is a clean installation. If you use Steam, you don't have to redownload them. Just move...

    New script makes it easy(ish) to put Windows 10 or 11 on a Raspberry Pi

    That is a oversimplification of it. Apple Silicon achieved that speed due to RAM modules on the chip. Basically less latency between the CPU and RAM which lead to higher speed.

    Apple don't want to, they are "Nintendo" of smartphone. They rather to lock it down harder while cutting off accesses to keep it secure.

    Apple’s M1 is a fast CPU—but M1 Macs “feel” even faster due to QoS

    I have intel cpu and nvidia gpu, same experience as you do. It is possible the window scheduler are overriding the process priority? If the scheduler does that, I don't think there is a way you can change it without changing the kernel.

    Apple’s M1 is a fast CPU—but M1 Macs “feel” even faster due to QoS

    I would say it is possible that it is the USB dongle you are using. I read reviews about Apple Silicon and USB dongles, they are somewhat flicky. So far I found Anker USB-C dongle is one so far that use correct native resolution at the first connect. However, using the second monitor will...

    Roku owners finally get a crack at HBO Max, six months after launch

    I have Sony Bravia Android TV and I hate casting to Sony internal chromecast because my SO and I have our own streaming accounts.
