Chipwrecked: Can Nvidia avoid the crash?

The Steam Frame is the VR headset I’ve longed for — but I can’t get over this one key spec
After years of keeping it under wraps, Valve finally unveiled the Steam Frame. Not only has it easily become my most anticipated VR headset of 2026 (I mean, there isn’t much competition… for now), but I also foresee it being the main way I play VR games and non-VR PC games. There’s a lot going for this standalone headset: Valve…

How to watch AFCON 2025: FREE live streams, schedule, preview
The past eight editions of the Africa Cup of Nations have produced seven different champions, but even by usual standards AFCON 2025 looks set to be a wild ride.

I drove the Polestar 3 for a week, and its beauty-meets-tech approach makes this EV stand out

One of those new players in the space is Swedish based EV maker Polestar, which has been exclusively selling electric vehicles.

I saw 108 movies in theaters in 2025 — here’s the 10 best (and 10 worst)
Every year, I set myself a goal of seeing as many movies in theaters as possible. I love the big screen experience, even despite the increasingly poor behavior of cinema goers.

The sold-out Nex Playground made my kids laugh and cry
If you told me last year the Nex Playground would outsell Microsoft’s Xbox, even for two weeks, I would have laughed my way out of the room.
