Microsoft is pulling the plug on Cortana for Windows
Microsoft’s Cortana app was supposed to be the company’s answer to Siri or Google Assistant, and then some. But to me it’s always just been that annoyingly loud voice you hear that offers to help you through the setup process of a new PC until you silence it. Soon that voice will go silent for […]

GPD G1 is portable eGPU with Radeon RX 7600 XT, Oculink and USB4 (crowdfunding)
GPD has been selling handheld gaming PCs since 2016. And in that time, the company has offered models in various shapes and sizes. But one thing they’ve all had in common?
