MKBHD reviews CarPlay Ultra

Tech’s favorite YouTuber MKBHD has reviewed CarPlay Ultra for the first time. We’ve seen a few CarPlay Ultra walkthroughs since Aston Martin shipped the first instance of next-gen CarPlay earlier this year. MKBHD always has an approachable and understandable take on tech, of course. His latest video on his cleverly named Auto Focus channel is no exception. CarPlay Ultra in the wild is incredibly rare as it’s only supported in select Aston Martin vehicles for now. There are currently no EVs wi

Google and Valve will kill “Steam for Chromebooks” experiment in January 2026

Bad news if you're one of the handful of people using Steam to play games on a Chromebook: Google and Valve are preparing to end support for the still-in-beta ChromeOS version of Steam on January 1, 2026, according to 9to5Google. Steam can still be installed on Chromebooks, but it now comes with a notice announcing the end of support. “The Steam for Chromebook Beta program will conclude on January 1st, 2026," reads the notification. "After this date, games installed as part of the Beta will no

The best smartphones without AI features in 2025: Expert tested and recommended

These days, it feels like AI and machine learning algorithms are being stuffed into every device, whether it makes sense to do so or not. And with almost every major brand announcing that AI will be a standard feature in new releases going forward, you may be looking for a way to opt out or avoid it entirely. Thankfully, there are still plenty of options on the market for phones that don't force AI as an integral feature; you can even find a few "dumb" phones if you're thinking of a total digita

Can't upgrade your Windows 10 PC? You have 5 options - and 2 months to decide

simpson33/Getty Images ZDNET's key takeaways Windows 10 support ends on Oct. 14, 2025. Users have free and paid options for extended updates. Doing nothing is not a safe option. Have you decided what to do with your Windows 10 PCs when they reach their official end-of-support date in two months? I can tell you with absolute certainty that Microsoft is not going to back down at the last minute and extend that deadline. But you do have options, including some new ways to continue getting sec

AWS Restored My Account: The Human Who Made the Difference

The untold story of how one AWS employee turned a 20-day nightmare into a lesson in corporate accountability. Sometimes all it takes is one person who actually gives a damn. Remember my article about AWS deleting my 10-year account? The one where support gaslit me for 20 days while claiming my data was “terminated”? Here’s the plot twist: My data is back. Not because of viral pressure. Not because of bad PR. But because one human being inside AWS decided to give a damn. This is that story. T

Apple rolls out limited AI chatbot test in its Support app

A few weeks ago, a few strings of code in the Apple Support app showed that it could soon get a “Support Assistant,” based on generative models. The assistant is now live, as a limited experiment. As first spotted by MacRumors reader Gatlyn, Apple has rolled out an early preview of the Support Assistant through a “Chat” tab that is being made available for select users within the Apple Support app. Upon tapping it, the user is greeted with a splash screen with the following instructions, and t

How I do support and community

I could see myself running a hotel. A little world where the architecture is otherworldly. And of course, the service is impeccable – because nothing matters more in any business than how customers are treated. (source) I collected this photo as inspiration ~14 years ago. Feels good to finally use it. But while it’s normal for one night in a hotel to cost ~$300, most people expect the price of a month of using pro-grade software – some of which cost millions of dollars to produce and maintain

Mezzano, an operating system written in Common Lisp

Mezzano, an operating system written in Common Lisp. Pre-built images Demo releases are available through GitHub. These releases are designed to be run in VirtualBox, though QEMU is also supported. 2GB of RAM, a virtio-net NIC and an Intel HDA audio controller are recommended. x86-64 images are published. AArch64 has been made to work on some hardware. But to set expectations: making Mezzano run on any given piece of hardware or emulator is still typically a project that requires the user to

I’ve used Pixel and Galaxy phones for a decade, and Google wins in one aspect every time

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’ve been using smartphones since 2011, and they’ve all been Samsung and Google devices (aside from a few other brands due to my job). Both companies have come a long way over the years, and while the S24 Ultra is my phone of choice for now, that may soon change for one reason. Pixels and Galaxy phones each have their strengths and weaknesses, but one thing I’ve always found Google is best at is customer support, while Samsung has more reliable devices. As I t

Nvidia extends Game Ready driver support for Windows 10 users through 2026

In brief: Nvidia has confirmed that it will continue delivering Game Ready drivers for one year after Windows 10 reaches its end-of-life date this October, giving users more time to upgrade. Additionally, gamers who still use Maxwell, Volta, and Pascal graphics cards will receive security updates for another three years. The company explained its plans regarding Windows 10 and older GPUs in the patch notes for the 580.88 graphics driver, released July 31. Those with RTX cards can expect to rece

14 Best Office Chairs of 2025— I’ve Tested Nearly 60 to Pick Them

How to Sit Properly at a Desk AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron It's not just about finding a chair you like. We've rounded up several tips on how to set up your desk properly here, but here are a few highlights. Sitting for too long in a day is not good for your health, no matter what chair you use. It increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. The best thing you can do is get up and move every half hour. If you can, a 40-minute walk per day can, according to a re

Astronomical Telescope “Hadley” – an easy assembly, high performance Newtonian

You can now purchase screw/mirror kits at Kissner Optik. Official Discord server here. New instruction manual is here!

Wooden ones still are the best, but these pipe mounts are excellent, especially paired with a wooden friction bearing. Metric users: click here, and see other remixes. Lastly, never point one of these at the sun - it can melt your eyes. Featured in Sky and Telescop

NVIDIA is ending support for its GTX 10-, 9- and 7-series GPUs

NVIDIA is calling time on its Maxwell, Pascal and Volta GPUs, with one last significant driver release scheduled for October. This means that all graphics cards belonging to the GeForce GTX 7-, 9- and 10-series categories will only receive quarterly security updates beyond the October cutoff, with support ending entirely three years later in 2028. While they’ll still work after that, they won’t be optimized for new games and are more vulnerable to technical exploits. NVIDIA described its 11-yea

QUIC for the kernel The QUIC transport-layer network protocol is not exactly new; it was first covered here in 2013. Despite carrying a significant part of the traffic on the Internet, QUIC has been anything but quick when it comes to getting support into the Linux kernel. The pace might be picking up, though; Xin Long has posted the first set of patches intended to provide mainline support for this protocol. QUIC was created to address a number of problems that have been observed with TCP on

Nvidia announces end of GPU driver updates for GeForce 10-series, Windows 10

If you last updated your gaming PC in late 2016, Nvidia has two pieces of bad news to share with you today. First, it will no longer support the Maxwell, Pascal, or Volta GPU architectures with new Game Ready graphics driver updates after October 2025. That means GeForce GPUs from the GTX 900 and 10-series, including aging but enduringly popular cards like the GeForce GTX 1060, will no longer get optimized driver releases for new games starting this fall. Second, Nvidia says it will wind down a

Nvidia will support GeForce drivers on Windows 10 until October 2026

Nvidia is releasing a new GeForce Game Ready Driver today that expands support for Windows 10 devices, alongside some games and G-Sync displays. Windows 10 Game Ready Driver support will now be available for GeForce RTX GPUs until October 2026, a year beyond when Microsoft is planning to stop supporting the operating system on October 14th, 2025. The expanded support from Nvidia will ensure that users will continue receiving the latest zero-day optimisations for new games and apps, giving them

Best WordPress Hosting for Smooth Website Operation in 2025

Some of these services don't offer as much customer support as the best services, don't offer as many security features or lack an uptime guarantee. You still might find a service that works for you. HostPapa HostPapa is a Canadian web hosting company with plans available in numerous currencies, including CAD, Euros and the Australian dollar. In fact, the option to pay in Canadian dollars is one of the primary reasons I chose HostPapa -- it’s the company I’ve used for my personal websites sinc

Update 11:19 a.m. PT: Here’s a statement from an Apple spokesperson: “Apple Support has only posted Apple content. We are working with Weibo to understand how this happened.” What seems to have happened here is that a Weibo client-side bug caused the text of the Apple Support post to be mismatched with the Samsung video. Original story below. An official Apple support account on China’s Weibo social network managed to accidentally post a promotional video for a Samsung folding phone. The emb
