Setting out on a new adventure, be quiet! has launched its very first gaming keyboards in the form of Dark Mount and Light Mount. Just like its range of power supplies, coolers, and cases, you probably won’t find it surprising that the aim is to keep things whisper quiet, which will certainly be music to your housemates’ ears.

If you’ve been umming and ahing over making the jump to AM5, there’s arguably never been a better time. Prices have come down tremendously since release, seeing processors like AMD Ryzen 5 8500G fall to their cheapest yet, and there’s still plenty of life left in the platform with support for years to come. You can currently save 20% on Amazon US, nabbing Ryzen 5 8500G for a manageable $143. The same chip is also reduced in parts of Europe, with Italy touting 15% off at €137.

Microsoft is gearing up to launch its controversial Recall feature, baking the memory tool into its latest Windows 11 update. Currently available for select Insiders on the preview channel via Build 26100.3902 (KB5055627), this is the last step before hitting the mainstream. Originally announced back in May 2024, Recall promises to save you time by essentially knowing all your history.

Choosing the right smartphone is by no means a simple task. After all, it’s your daily companion. Even as I write this, mine sits snug on a wireless charger in front of me, putting every push notification within my line of sight. Simplifying the decision a bit, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of the best you can get in 2025 with muscular AI capabilities, and it’s just fallen to its cheapest price yet.

If you’ve ever lost a critical file, run out of storage at the worst possible time, or waited hours for a massive project to upload, you already know the value of having your data where you need it, when you need it. This is where a good NAS comes in. Network-Attached Storage might sound like something only big enterprises need, but the truth is, businesses of all shapes and sizes can benefit from having a fast, secure, and centralised place to store, share, and protect their data.

I should've shared my work yesterday before the AMD hype took over but oh well. Here's a little unboxing alongside my review.
Review drop: @NVIDIAGeForce RTX 5070 Founders Edition A more modest mainstream graphics card that lowers the cost of Multi Frame Generation but also packs a few caveats. https://t.co/DsyuqmHXzr #Nvidia #GPU #RTX50 https://t.co/hXlPXeBXZ8
Call me cautiously optimistic for Nvidia RTX 50 Series. Looks like there are some real strides in how AI can benefit gaming, but it also depends on support from an exclusive ecosystem that hinders its initial value. I wrote about my thoughts here: https://t.co/a4gAy9GRZJ https://t.co/eFfhxiTlcQ
I did a thing. These are the kinds of weird and wacky devices I like to get my hands on. And credit to @ARCTIChannel, I definitely want to see more alternative cooling options.
Review drop: @ARCTIChannel Senza🖥️ Arctic's passive cooling forms an impressively silent mini PC, but some design decisions prevent the under-desk AMD rig from reaching its full potential. Check out our full review here 👇 https://t.co/XrPAV10QGl https://t.co/w9Wq07vEzp
