What is an Xbox?

is a senior editor and author of Notepad , who has been covering all things Microsoft, PC, and tech for over 20 years. Microsoft’s “This is an Xbox” marketing campaign in November always felt a little too early. If you ask a friend or family member what an Xbox is, the response is likely going to be “it’s a game console.” Xbox is ingrained in popular culture as a box under your TV that you play games on, but Microsoft’s ads over the past six months have been attempting to redefine the Xbox as a

Bunker Busters probably failed to penetrate Iranian concrete

On Saturday, June 21, 2025, following a spate of unprecedented aerial attacks that Israel carried out against Iran just days before, the United States joined the war and used bunker-busting bombs to strike three key Iranian nuclear sites and their underground bunkers: the Fordow fuel-enrichment plant, the Natanz nuclear facility, and the Isfahan nuclear technology center. Operation Midnight Hammer, the Pentagon’s codename for the strikes on Iran, marks the first-ever use of the Massive Ordnance

400 million Windows PCs vanished in 3 years. Where did they all go?

Jeffrey Coolidge/Getty Images In today's very very long blog post (more than 2,400 words!) about end-of-support options for Windows 10 PCs, Microsoft tried to bury an unpleasant statistic. That data point is tossed off casually in the opening paragraph, as Microsoft executive VP and consumer chief marketing officer Yusuf Mehdi says, "Today, Windows is the most widely used operating system, powering over a billion monthly active devices..." Sounds pretty good, right? Also: How to get Windows 10

How to get Windows 10 extended security updates for free: 2 options

hxdbzxy / Getty Images With just a few months remaining until the Windows 10 end-of-support date, Microsoft seems to have belatedly realized that owners of tens of millions of consumer PCs running Windows 10 aren't ready to replace their old computers, and they're also not about to fork over $30 for a one-year Extended Security Updates (ESU) subscription. So today, the company waved the white flag and announced new "free enrollment options" for the ESU program, along with a description of the

We’re Entering a Golden Age of Marvel Fighting Game Figures

A few weeks ago, Hasbro revealed it was cooking up a massive tribute to the legacy of Capcom’s Marvel fighting games, from Children of the Atom all the way through to the legendary Marvel vs. Capcom franchise, with a series of Marvel Legends figures replicating aesthetics and matchups from across some of the most iconic fighting games ever made.

Mario Kart 64 races onto PC with unofficial port, no emulation necessary

The big picture: Emulating the Nintendo 64 has always been a contentious topic. The release of UltraHLE was a landmark moment, offering a way to run commercial N64 games at playable frame rates on Windows 9x when the console was barely three years old. Today, the situation has improved dramatically, with more accurate emulation options and alternative ways to faithfully recreate Nintendo's gameplay magic on the PC. The Harbour Masters collective has once again achieved the impossible. The team

Infinite Mac OS X

tl;dr: Infinite Mac can now run early Mac OS X, with 10.1 and 10.3 being the best supported versions.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT PCIe Benchmark: 8GB vs. 16GB
