I used Norton VPN for a week – and it’s so close to being a class-leading VPN
Norton VPN has had a 2025 to remember. A complete revamp of its VPN and a succession of feature updates saw it finish the year as a serious challenger to the best VPNs. 2026 has, so far, been a little quieter for Norton VPN, and I thought it was the perfect time to road-test its latest improvements. As a VPN…

Inside Anthropic’s existential negotiations with the Pentagon
Anthropic’s weekslong battle with the Department of Defense has played out over social media posts, admonishing public statements, and direct quotes from unnamed Pentagon officials to the news media. But the future of the $380 billion AI startup comes down to just three words: “any lawful use.” The new terms, which OpenAI and xAI have reportedly already agreed to, would…

I played on the Kojima Edition Asus ROG Flow Z13, and this 2-in-1 gaming tablet belongs in a museum
When I first heard of the Asus ROG Flow Z13 Kojima edition back at CES 2026, honestly, I didn’t bat an eyelid. But upon checking out this Chiral beast of a machine — the Death Stranding references are all over this 2-in-1 gaming tablet — during the show, my interest was certainly piqued. Now that I have this 2-in-1 sitting…

This limited edition Death Stranding-inspired tablet is the coolest computer I’ve ever touched
The Asus ROG Flow Z13 was already a unique beast. It’s a chunky gaming tablet with impressive AMD Strix Halo integrated graphics. I was really into it when I reviewed it around this time last year. But just look at it now, clad in the stylings of Hideo Kojima’s game studio and his longtime collaborator, artist Yoji Shinkawa. I felt…

Nvidia is returning to its roots with new laptop chips and a heavy focus on gaming — but will it be enough to make Arm CPUs a viable alternative?
Nvidia RTX 60-series graphics cards won’t be making an appearance this year but Team Green is returning to its PC hardware roots, just not in the way you’d expect. At a time when the ongoing memory and storage crisis or RAMageddon has made PC building just as or even more expensive than it was during the crypto mining craze, there…

Hank Green lets loose on YouTube, billionaires, and algorithms
Today, I’m talking with Hank Green, a longtime friend of Decoder and the cofounder and now former owner of Complexly, an online education company he started with his brother John in 2012. I say former owner because Hank and John have just converted Complexly into a nonprofit and given up their ownership of the company in the process. That’s some…

I wear a Garmin watch for marathon training — these are the 5 stats I care about and the 3 I ignore
The first time you fire up a new Garmin watch, the amount of stats can be overwhelming, and the more you use the watch, the more data it throws at you about your activity, workouts and recovery. There’s a lot of useful information that can guide your training to help you get fitter and reduce your injury risk, but there’s…

If Big Tech cared about fighting AI slop, we wouldn’t be drowning in it
As 2025 drew to a close, Instagram head Adam Mosseri ended the year by doom-posting about AI. “Authenticity is becoming infinitely reproducible,” Mosseri lamented. “Everything that made creators matter — the ability to be real, to connect, to have a voice that couldn’t be faked — is now accessible to anyone with the right tools.” But people, Mosseri insisted, still…

Apple March event: 5 biggest products to expect (and 2 to not)
I wouldn’t buy anything Apple right now, as a range of all-new products will be on the way during Apple’s March announcements. In fact, instead of a usual live event on a single day, this year looks different, as we’re preparing for a slew of announcements over three days. Kicking off on Monday, March 2, and continuing onto a big…

Cricut Joy Xtra review: this capable cutting machine is perfect for beginners
I’ve wanted to try a Cricut machine for years, but there’s something overwhelming about entering into a huge ecosystem of add-ons, subscriptions and software in one fell swoop. Once you’ve bought your machine, you need to take the plunge and opt for a Design Space membership, as well as a bunch of borderline essential tools to get even the most…
