2 days ago | au.pcmag.com | Gabriel Zamora

Apple's iOS and iPadOS are renowned for their consistent design, strong security features, excellent integration with other Apple products, and robust app ecosystem. However, that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. With iOS and iPadOS betas rumored to come in June after Apple's WWDC showcase, I've pondered how potential updates and new features could enhance Cupertino's mobile experience.

But now, with the Nintendo Switch 2, the situation is even more complicated. Mario Kart World is $80. Donkey Kong Bananza is $70.

We've all been there: You need fast internet and can see a Wi-Fi network with a strong signal listed on your device, but there's a lock icon next to the network name. That indicates security is activated. Without a password or passphrase, you're not going to get access.

Historically, Nintendo has had a weird relationship with the internet. Although its systems embraced online play years ago, their functionality has lagged behind rivals in terms of communication. The Switch 2 promises one of the company’s most ambitious online features yet with GameChat, which is the system's new online communication system. I tested it before launch to see how Nintendo uses cameras and microphones to turn online gaming into a more fun, welcoming experience.

1 week ago | au.pcmag.com | Tony Hoffman

The Addlink G55H (starts at $98.99 for 1TB, $174.99 for 2TB as tested) is a cool-running PCI Express 5.0 internal solid-state drive that comes equipped with a heatsink compact enough to fit in a PlayStation 5. The G55H's DRAM-less architecture helps keep its price and power consumption down. In our benchmarking, it effectively met its throughput speeds, but its performance on other tests was modest for a PCIe 5.0 SSD, with many of its results akin to a fast PCIe 4.0 SSD.
