Following their straightforward instructions, I posted a positive review and quickly sent them proof—a screenshot of my published review along with my PayPal details. As promised,…

Keeping track of your leaked data online is a challenging task, leading to the emergence of various services that monitor the dark web for personal information.

Currently, as of July, there are two Game Pass options for PC gamers: PC Game Pass ($10 per month) offers access to several hundred games from Microsoft and its partners, including most EA Play titles, with day-one access to new Microsoft-published games.…

Windows 11’s data collection practices have become more extensive as of 2024, causing concerns among privacy advocates. The recently announced Recall feature is a major privacy issue, but Windows 11 was already collecting various types of data on user activities and usage patterns.

As someone with an abundance of gaming keyboards, I can assert that most Windows apps created by manufacturers for programming RGB lights are disappointing—especially Asus’s Armoury Crate. That’s why the introduction of Dynamic Lighting is a game-changer for Asus motherboards, at least for certain functions. Dynamic Lighting is Microsoft’s initiative to unify these RGB management apps into a single solution on Windows 11. This means that if you have a Corsair keyboard, a Razer mouse, a HyperX headset, and a Gigabyte motherboard, you won’t need four different apps cluttering your notification tray to create a synchronized light show. At least,…
