Computing company ARM, which built the architecture for Apple Silicon and many Qualcomm processors, is reportedly expanding its reach.

ARM successfully dominated CPUs — GPUs might be next

Upgrading components in a desktop can lead to an "upgrade death spiral" of replacing multiple parts. Only cheap components, like chassis and power supply, are future-proof through multiple upgrades. Performance increases for CPUs and GPUs are too small to justify upgrading every generation. One of the key benefits touted for...

LG B4: Two-minute review
The LG B4 is the company’s entry-level OLED TV series and follows in a long line of B-series models that provide a high-value option to fans of the best OLED TVs. At $1,699 / £2,099 / AU$2,999 for the 65-inch model I reviewed, the B4 is a sensible TV option for those who don’t want to spend big bucks on flagship models like the LG G4 and Samsung S95D, and also don’t want to deal with the shortcomings of mid-range mini-LED TVs – poor off-axis picture quality and limited gaming features to name just two.A huge gaming...

Verizon has countered a recent offer from T-Mobile subsidiary Mint Mobile with its own promotional campaign that apparently comes with a 5-year price guarantee. Anyone using T-Mobile’s postpaid service in the United States is being tempted to switch to Verizon’s Visible service in exchange for a lower per-line fee of $15/month. The offer includes taxes and fees and comes with a supposed 5-year price guarantee, but you must bring your own device and commit to an entire year of service. In comparison, Mint is offering $15/month (taxes and fees excluded) with free lines in a time-limited three-month promotional campaign. The campaign is aimed squarely at AT&T and Verizon switchers who bring their own devices and port their numbers over to Mint.
