EarFun Air Pro 4 | Bluetooth 5.4 | 52-hour battery life (11 from earbuds, 41 in case) | 20 Hz - 22 kHz frequency response | $89.99 $59.84 at Amazon (Prime members only, save $30.15)If you're looking for a cheap pair of earbuds with some premium specs, the EarFun Air Pro 4 are much better than its name might suggest. They sound great and have excellent battery life, though the lack of a 2.4 GHz mode is a slight disappointment. Bluetooth with Game Mode is good enough, though.

Users have shown Gigabyte cards are leaking some of the thermal gel used to keep their memory/VRM cool when placed on their side. Igor's Lab, an expert on all things thermal paste, has gone hands-on to try to explain it, not just to understand why this is happening but also why manufacturers may choose a thermal solution that looks "unnecessarily complicated and expensive at first glance".

Okay, for strategy games like Civilization or for shooters like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, I can kind of get behind the idea of the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con mouse controls.

The Nvidia RTX 5060 is set to launch on May 19, with listings now popping up for Nvidia's latest budget card. The bad news is that MSRP cards are already pretty sparse—one in a long line of expensive RTX 50 cards since the launch of Blackwell. As spotted by X user @momomo_us, three separate Asus listings went live for the card at Best Buy. @harukaze5719 then spotted a fourth, from PNY, which is the only card listed at its MSRP.

A new Digitimes report suggests Nvidia has "encountered multiple crises" with its supply chain, which, when combined with a reported loss of $5.5 billion and bans on H20 chips to China, means it has to raise fees on its products. Those price raises are hitting partners of Nvidia, who will then decide to enact any changes based on the sum they pay, and that could have a knock-on effect on the prices customers see on the shelves.

GTA 6 trailer 2 feels like the only cultural phenomenon in gaming to explode so quickly that it gets 1m likes with just 26,288 counted views. Reminds me of the old days of 301+ YouTube. Wonder how high the actual views are. https://t.co/CEqhHYZySs
Got this lovely comment from a semi regular commenter last night. Nice to know the videos are connecting with some! https://t.co/4y7RwORI4X
RT @JamesMBentley: I had some complicated thoughts after finishing the Suicide Squad game, and that somehow translated to being the longest…
