    Framework’s cheaper, colorful Laptop 12 up for preorder, starts at $549 bare-bones

    IMO they don't want the FW12 to cannibalize the 13" version so this is why they pegged it with Intel only entry-level CPUs. As a pro I want to get the FW12 because (surprisingly) it's the only one with an "antitheft" port (kensington lock), but yeah, I'll wait for a second generation with more...

    Civilization VII, one month later: The community and developers chime in

    Is it just me or the fox on the snow to the right of the top of the article picture is very big compared to houses and structures?

    GOG wants your “Dreamlist” classic games so it can use them to prod publishers

    I've put my vote too, I love marble games and wasn't aware of that one!

    GOG wants your “Dreamlist” classic games so it can use them to prod publishers

    I'm also voting for a DRM-Free standalone copy of Genital Jousting and also High Hell (which is not on GoG for a weird reason as the excellent Sludge Life 1 and 2 by the same developer are on that platform).

    Doom marine crashes art gallery, politely sips wine

    This is damn nice, even I don't agree with the 100℅ secrets indicator here, the original E1M1 level had one more corridor to discover

    Win hardware, collectibles, and more in the 2024 Ars Technica Charity Drive

    I think there's a misunderstanding, I never said Ars were lazy or greedy, just that I never saw any discussion in this annual article about why it's only for US citizen. That might be only me but the years coming by I have a feeling that Ars is more and more US centered and this kind of events...

    Win hardware, collectibles, and more in the 2024 Ars Technica Charity Drive

    I'm a frequent donator of EFF and I'm pretty sure I've donated many times to Penny Arcade's Child's Play through Humble Bundle since many years. I know there are certainly some legal shenningan preventing Ars to open such sweepstakes to non-US countries but I never saw a discussion about it. So...

    Win hardware, collectibles, and more in the 2024 Ars Technica Charity Drive

    Is there any discussion to include non US citizen or Ars only care about its US lectorate?

    What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs

    +1 I'll chose a Thinklight over a backlighted keyboard any day of the week. A shame it isn't available on newer models (a thin light prism could have enabled that)

    $250 Analogue 3D will play all your N64 cartridges in 4K early next year

    Regarding the PS2 just try a good cable (component) or mod it with HDMI output, there's solid option nowadays for that. I sold almost all my retro consoles except my PS2 slim which to me is one of the best console that have been created.

    Winamp really whips open source coders into frenzy with its source release

    Does anyone have a backup link to the repository? As Internet Archive isn't up at its fullest (at least in my region) and I cannot verify if it's there, I'd like to be sure such code is being preserved.

    Windows 11 24H2, the biggest update in two years, starts rolling out today

    I have a Windows 11 21H2 that cannot be connected to internet but can accept updates through standalone packages (KB) through USB. Is it possible to jump from 21H2 to 24H2 in one shot or do I have to get N updates to get from 21H2 to 22H2 to 23H2 to 24H2 (if yes which updates to get?)?

    UFO 50 is the best retro-gaming homage I’ve ever played

    Surprised they didn't released the game on GOG also!
