Valve's new Steam Frame has finally arrived... no more leaks... and its promising to shake up the VR market.

Five years ago we looked at the CMP 170HX, a seemingly useless card as it was strictly made for mining crypto currency. But in the big 2026, this card is no longer its once useless self. The CMP 170HX can now be modded to unlock up to 80GB of memory, and if you can do some tiny soldering work, unlock it's full PCIe Gen 1 x16 bandwidth.

Why are people spending $1,000 for old iPods
Music streaming services were great at first with all the music at your finger tips at a relatively cheap price. And then they increased the price again, and again, and again, while also REMOVING songs from their services. So it's time to take a trip back to 2001 and upgrade that old iPod into something new.

The Best Value Gaming PC I’ve Ever Seen
PC/Console: https://playwt.link/linustechtips
Mobile: https://wtm.game/linustechtips
A sub-$300 gaming PC might seem completely unrealistic in 2026, but the BC-250 changes the equation. Repurposing this former crypto mining card, which shares its core silicon with the PS5, takes just a few hours of work. The result? A remarkably capable PC built for solid 1080p and even 1440p gaming.
