I'd like to start my own search engine called "Just Search" that is pure search.

There's a place and a time for every technology. GAI continues to hallucinate and, even when it is correct, it is not "responsible" for whatever advice it gives. If I write an article with bad advice, I will hear about it from the readers. Who stands behind the advice given by the AI bot? Whose...

Google could have continued to have AI chat as a separate tab without polluting the core product with it. If people wanted to switch to getting answers from AI, they could have. It forced bad information on the user. Also, I'll quote my second grade teacher who lectured me when I got caught...

We're compiling our lists of the best deals this Memorial Day weekend. What have you seen?

In my case, I'm using Elements rather than CC. Even if it worked, I couldn't activate it under Linux if I want to go back to Windows at any point because that's another activation. Software licenses weren't meant for dual-boot PCs.

So this is on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 12) and it did go to sleep. I was wrong; what happened is that it did not hibernate after going to sleep. So when I was home for several days and used my desktop there, the battery ran out. On a Windows PC, the battery would get eaten up more slowly and...

Hi All, As some of you may know, I program Chrome browser extensions (also compatible with Edge and Opera GX). I currently have one called "Bye, Bye Google AI" which has 37K users and blocks Google AI overview results from the SERP. Anyway, I was thinking about making a free Tom's Hardware...

While there may be ways to get around the hardware requirement, I don't think that PCs which do will get the benefit of continued security updates.

As I recall, Windows 7 and 8 PCs could, for the most part, run Windows 10.

Funny you should mention. As I type this, I'm working in beta on a tool that replicates the Anandtech Bench tool (https://www.anandtech.com/bench), but for Tom's Hardware. I have it working in beta right now. Unclear when and if we'll be able to roll it out and whether it becomes a premium...

I write that article and I appreciate your feedback. The problem is that we are trying to hit a very low and specific price point. We have to cut corners on a build to get the parts list that low. On a system that underpowered, I don't think you need a Gold or even Bronze class PSU. Would it...

We don't use AI for our writing (or really for anything). We do have an AI chatbot on the home page that people can play with, but we do all of our own writing.

I thought about this and, after seeing some comments to this effect, I went back and tested with my actual credit card number. The same thing happened.

We tested with a standard PS5, but according to user reviews, the Sabrent supposedly fits in a slim as well. Can't guarantee it but it's pretty slim.
