California has declared that it now has the country's most extensive EV charging network at 178,549 publicly accessible ports as of 2024.

AMD was quick to debunk a recent report claiming it revealed combined Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 shipments had topped 200,000 units. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. Either way, AMD never shared an actual specific tally. In the days since, however, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su did provide an interesting figure...

Laptops are one of the most egregious product categories with regards to e-waste. Most laptops are made of almost completely proprietary components that are exclusive to that device, and the chips are generally BGA, meaning it's impractical to desolder and re-use them when a board fails.

Modern AI is far from science-fiction AGI, and yet it can still be an incredibly powerful tool.

Did you read our explainer on display technologies? If so, you'll already be well aware of the concept of PPI, or "pixels per inch," which is a more informative measure of "display resolution" than a static value like 1024×768.

We live in some wild times, folks. Pricing on things like eggs and other staples are going through roof, and let's not even get started with the situation on current-generation graphics cards. However, if it's a new big (or semi-big) television you're after, pricing has never been better. Go figure! To wit, we...

It looks as if the latest Android 16 Beta 3 will solve an age-old Pixel limitation, which is keeping the fingerprint scanner active when the screen is off. No more needing to wake the screen first and then unlock your device with your fingers. Why this wasn't activated in the first place is anyone's guess, but hey...

In today's high-tech world, some toll roads keep the traffic moving by using transponders and cameras, rather than requiring that every driver come to a full stop to shove money into a machine (or into the hands of a gatekeeper). Mistakes can happen, though, and the FBI issued a warning to hundreds of millions of...

Perhaps at one point NVIDIA may have considered equipping its GeForce RTX 5080 with 24GB of VRAM. More than likely, however, MSI's repeated reference to the non-existent SKU is a recurring typo.

NVIDIA recently unveiled its RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell graphics cards in various forms, all of which serve up some beastly specs to turbocharge modern workstations and servers.

When you read that headline, it probably sounds like former Intel CTO and CEO Gelsinger's got a case of sour grapes. Of course, the man's far more mature and experienced than that. His comments came while speaking to the Acquired podcast as an invited guest at NVIDIA's GTC 2025 conference, where the GPU vendor...
