Intel Nova Lake CPUs may finally bring a 3D V-Cache rival to desktop gaming

Rumor mill: Since their launch in early 2022, AMD's X3D CPUs have become the most-sought after CPUs for PC gamers who want top performance, thanks largely to their 3D V-Cache technology, which enables higher frame rates and smoother gameplay. Intel is now reportedly planning to counter AMD's recent dominance in high-end gaming by incorporating similar technology in its upcoming Nova Lake CPUs. According to tipster @Haze2K1, at least two SKUs in the Nova Lake lineup will ship with increased L3 c

The economics behind "Basic Economy" – A masterclass in price discrimination

Basic Economy fares are ultra-restricted airline tickets that offer a lower base price in exchange for fewer benefits than standard economy class. Introduced by major U.S. carriers in the 2010s, these fares have become a widespread strategy for market segmentation - a textbook example of price discrimination in practice. By design, Basic Economy compels travelers to self-select based on their willingness to pay and tolerate restrictions, thus allowing airlines to maximize revenue from different

YouTube Music solves the offline lyrics problem that Apple Music and Spotify still haven’t

Can your terminal do emojis? How big?

Emojis are great. They're particularly useful to put in the output of scripts and get some eye catching output. At least provided they aren't overused, just like colour. $ important-command Lots of output... ‼️ Something went wrong! Some more output... But bigger emojis are better, right?

Verizon is offering a free line for 36 months to select customers, but what’s the catch?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Verizon is offering a free Unlimited Welcome line for 36 months via monthly credits to select existing customers as a loyalty offer. Unlike past “free” lines that merely masked multi-line discounts, this BYOD offer appears to be legit. While the main line is free, it still carries taxes and fees (around $6–$10 per month), and after 36 months, you must cancel the line or pay the standard rate based on your total lines. If you’re a current Verizon subs

Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority As an avid traveler, Google Maps Timeline has long been one of my favorite hidden features. I’m used to opening it on slow Sunday afternoons and wandering through my own travel history. It showed alleyways I had forgotten, long layovers that blurred together while stepping out for a quick brunch across a new city, and impulsive last-minute rail journeys across Eastern Europe that never made it into photos. It’s always felt like a private travel diary logging ev

He managed to eke out a living, but the jobs posed a different problem. ‘Honestly, a lot of times, I go out and the person doesn’t even know my name, even though I introduced myself as Paul,’ he told me. ‘Instead, customers just point and say: “OK, yeah, just put it over there,” and then

Trump confirms further delay to TikTok ban or sale deadline

Trump confirms further delay to TikTok ban or sale deadline President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for TikTok's sale in the US for a further 90 days.

Lawmakers said it posed a risk to national security - something TikTok denies. Trump, who vowed to save TikTok during his presidential campaign, signed an ex
