High dynamic range (HDR) technology has revolutionized the way we experience movies and shows, with Dolby Vision often hailed as the most advanced format available. But alongside the praise, one recurring frustration has lingered: Dolby Vision can make dark scenes almost impossible to see for many viewers. The root of the issue lies in how content is created versus how it’s viewed. Creators grade Dolby Vision titles on reference monitors in perfectly lit studios, while audiences at home watch on consumer-grade TVs in rooms with vastly different lighting conditions. That disconnect has led to a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t always…

The rise of mini PCs has completely changed the way people think about home computing. No longer just a backup or media box, today’s models are powerful enough to replace your laptop or desktop outright, often at a fraction of the cost. One of the most impressive examples right now is the Acemagic M1, which has seen its price slashed on Amazon to just $440. That’s down from its original $800 thanks to a stacked set of discounts, including a $100 coupon and an extra 10% off the already reduced price. For under $500, you’re getting performance that rivals high-end…

Proton has rolled out a security-focused update called Emergency Access, giving subscribers the ability to assign up to five trusted contacts who can step in and access their accounts if needed. The feature is meant to cover real-life scenarios where you might not be able to log in yourself—whether you’re traveling, recovering from an illness, or, in more serious cases, have passed away. The system is designed with both convenience and safeguards in mind. Trusted contacts must also be Proton users, ensuring the process stays within Proton’s secure ecosystem. When someone attempts to log in on your behalf, you’ll be…

Roblox continues to cement its dominance in online gaming, recently achieving a staggering 45 million concurrent players on August 23rd—a new high that outpaces Steam’s all-time peak by about 5 million. To illustrate just how significant this is, Fortnite’s peak concurrency is 14.3 million, while Minecraft—often considered the most popular sandbox game globally—averages around 32 million daily players with a peak of 4.2 million. Roblox’s sheer scale is unmatched, underscoring its position as a cultural juggernaut in gaming. Unlike Steam, which serves as a distribution platform, Roblox operates as an entire ecosystem where users can create and share games through…

Great laptop deals can be hit or miss, but this one lands squarely in the “don’t wait too long” category.

High-performance OLED monitors rarely come cheap, but Alienware’s ultrawide lineup has built a reputation for delivering standout value compared to the competition. The original Alienware AW3423DWF helped set that trend, and right now it’s available at a massive discount.

Its 165Hz refresh rate keeps fast-paced games smooth and responsive, even if newer OLED displays have pushed past that number.…

The question of whether your CPU will include a stock cooler has become a moving target in recent years, especially as manufacturers shift strategies to balance costs, performance expectations, and user habits. AMD, once celebrated for shipping most of its Ryzen processors with functional and sometimes even stylish coolers, appears to be scaling back those efforts. The result is a lineup that leans far more on aftermarket solutions than in years past. New details uncovered from AMD’s official product pages show that the company is phasing out two of its more notable stock coolers: the Wraith Prism (SR4) and Wraith…

Windows 11’s next annual feature update, version 25H2, has officially entered the Release Preview Channel, signaling that its public release is just around the corner. With September quickly approaching, this smaller, more streamlined update could land on PCs sooner rather than later. The way Microsoft is handling 25H2 makes the process a little different from past releases. Both 24H2 (last year’s large update) and 25H2 share the same servicing branch, which means most of the 25H2 code is already quietly sitting on your machine. When the rollout begins, your PC won’t need to download the full update again—it’ll just receive…

Microsoft Edge users recently worried that one of the internet’s most trusted ad blockers, uBlock Origin, had been removed from the browser’s extension store. The news came shortly after Google’s Chrome eliminated support for the tool, fueling speculation that Edge was also phasing it out as part of Chromium’s wider shift from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3. Manifest V3, the new extension framework being adopted across Chromium browsers, is touted by Google as a way to improve security, privacy, and performance. Yet, for developers and power users, it comes with a major trade-off: stricter rules that prevent advanced extensions, including…
