As a dedicated member of both the triple-monitor club and the standing desk club (I’m very conflicted at the annual softball game), a solid VESA-compatible monitor arm is something I find essential. That goes double if you have a big, oversized monitor, like this one I just highlighted on sale. Today Huanuo is offering one…

With the government reopening, the dubious panel of vaccine advisors selected by anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy is wasting no time getting back to dismantling the federal childhood vaccine schedule. A meeting that was scheduled for October but put on hold during the shutdown has already been rescheduled for December 4 and 5. A…

Not everything about the future sucks. Like electric cars. Sure, there’s one thing that dinosaur-burners do better—short refueling stops—but even the least efficient EV is still multiple times better than its gas equivalent.

There’s a very specific form factor of OLED gaming monitor that I find appealing: the size upgrade that doesn’t come with a resolution bump. That means you get a bigger, bolder picture to play on, without taxing your gaming desktop or laptop with more pixels to push. Today you can get a 45-inch OLED ultrawide…

The game’s over 680 Calling Cards — collectible backgrounds earned through in-game achievements or purchases — appear to be the main offenders, featuring art that imitates the knockoff animation style of ChatGPT. While it’s hard to…

Nintendo recently issued an update (21.0.0) for its Switch 2 console that, in addition to some small changes, has caused some third-party docks to stop working as intended. In the early weeks and months of the console’s availability this summer, companies raced to figure out the right commands, the right power draw, and the right…

If you’re reading PCWorld, you probably know that it’s important to keep your PC updated so that security issues are patched. And you probably know the same is true for your phone, and even things like a PlayStation. But don’t forget that your network gear is also, basically, just a bunch of computers. And thank…

I’ve been involved with the Rebelle Rally since its inception in 2016, either as a competitor or live show host, and over the past 10 years, I’ve seen it evolve from a scrappy rally with big dreams to the world-class event that it is today.
