What just happened? SilverStone struck a chord when it introduced a retro-inspired PC case on X as an April Fools' joke in 2023. The gag went over so well that the case maker decided to put the design into production, and now they're moving forward with another new retro offering. The SilverStone FLP02 is a modern mid-tower styled after late 80s and early 90s beige boxes, and would be perfect for a sleeper build.

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority Update, May 13, 2025 (5:30 AM ET): The situation remains volatile, as the Trump administration revealed that smaller shipments are excluded from the new trade agreement (via Axios). That means that orders previously duty-free due to the de minimis exemption were subject to a higher 120% rate. However, another executive order was issued late on Monday, reducing that rate to 54% or $100 per postal item. This is still significantly higher than the rate on other

Retroid Pocket Flip 2 The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is an exceptionally versatile device, with just enough performance for PS2, GameCube, and Dreamcast emulation. It's not the most comfortable to use, but the compact clamshell design nails the retro vibe. There are three home consoles that truly define my adolescence: The Sega Dreamcast, Sony PlayStation 2, and Nintendo GameCube. They were released in a few short years from 1998 to 2001, and to me, they represent the tipping point from retro to mod

What Are Retro Gaming Consoles? Retro gaming consoles are older game systems or new systems designed to play old games.
