    Jabra releases feature-packed, affordable Elite 4 earbuds

    Jabra needs a new killer earbud at this point like the 75t or 85t. The 85t was a better than the product that replaced it in every way besides it's size. If the elite 4 is following the 7(looks like it is) then it's not worth it.

    What Was the Best and Worst Windows OS For You?

    Best XP and 2000 by a landslide, there are so many diagnostic tools that still use them its no contest. They were just perfectly reliable and predictable and then I'd say Windows 7 was also not that bad. Worst Windows ME . . . . . it was basically Windows 98 with a Windows 2000 skin Windows...

    Intel Shows Off Arc A770, Pricing and Performance Tiering Leak

    Kind of disappointing but expected tbh, its going to take a while for them to catch up.

    Intel Arc A730M 3DMark TimeSpy Score Spied, in League of RTX 3070 Laptop GPU

    Can't really say its good or bad since there's no real metric of comparison and not enough data really, especially for the mobile side.

    PC Components with High Power Draw an Issue for an Overwhelming Majority of Users: Survey

    I care about heat more than power tbh. When I used to repair computers though I saw most common people don't care about heat or power they care about noise because that's all they can recognize.
