TerraMaster recently launched 9 new Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices featuring the company's latest software and processors based on Intel's 12th-gen Alder Lake-N or Alder Lake-U architecture. One of the more intriguing models is the TerraMaster F8 SSD Plus. Not only is it one of a growing number of NAS devices that use solid state storage rather than spinning hard drives, but this model supports up to eight PCIe NVMe SSDs. Theoretically that means you could equip it with up to 64TB of storage, assuming you can afford to purchase eight 8TB drives. Equipped with a 10 Gb Ethernet port, the F8 SSD Plus also offers a fast connection to your

Nintendo's first home game console to launch in North America was an 8-bit system with support for up to two removable controllers and a 15-pin expansion port on the bottom. But Nintendo never actually released any accessories for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) that use the expansion port. Over the years, some hardware hackers have decided to make put that port to use though. In 2015 Trapper McFerron used it to send tweets from an NES console. And a few years ago Perkka2 created an NES Expansion Port Sound Generator. Now hardware hacker RetroTime has designed the most versatile NES Expansion Port accessory to date. It's called the NES Hub. First unveiled earlier this year, it's now up for pre-order for $57. So what is the NES Hub, and what does it do? In a nutshell, it's a custom printed circuit board that plugs directly into the NES Expansion Port and brings support for: 4-player Bluetooth game controller input SNES controller input (with an &quo

Intel's new Core Ultra 200S series processors, also known by the code-name Arrow Lake-S, are designed to do two things: offer significant gains in CPU, graphics, and AI performance and also reduce power consumption. The chip maker says that the new chips can deliver 15 percent better multithreaded CPU performance than previous-gen Raptor Lake Refresh chips sold under the 14th-gen Intel Core brand. But they can also match the performance of a Raptor Lake-R chip while consuming half as much power. The new chips also bring the latest Intel GPU and NPU technologies to the company's desktop processors. But it's really the CPU that's the focus for these new chips, as customers who want to use a desktop  for gaming are more likely to invest in a discrete GPU. So while the new processors have an Intel AI Boost NPU and integrated graphics based on Intel Arc architecture, much like the Intel Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) mobile processors that launched earlier this year, I

The PineNote is a tablet with a Rockchip RK3566 processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 10.3 inch, 1404 x 1872 pixel E Ink display with support for pressure-sensitive EMR pen input. First introduced in 2021, the tablet began shipping to early adopters in early 2022. But it's been unavailable for purchase for a while now. That's because the pace of software development was slow. Pine64 doesn't put a lot of effort into making software for its devices, instead relying on community members to do much of the heavy lifting. While the PineNote was designed for free and open source software enthusiasts and hackers interested in something that could theoretically be more open existing E Ink tablets, software for the platform is still in its early stages. But it's better than it was, so Pine64 says it plans to make and ship another batch of PineNote devices soon. Here's a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.

Following Nintendo's bombshell success against the Yuzu Switch emulator in court earlier this year and the subsequent Yuzu repo takedown spree, it seems that some direct contact with the lead developers of the Ryujinx Switch emulator was all it took to prompt the voluntary removal of all current and past Ryujinx downloads— no court case required. According to a Discord message written for the Ryujinx server (and reposted to the Ryujinx Twitter with additional context, embedded below), developer gdkchan was the one directly contacted by Nintendo, who offered an unspecified "agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he's in control of." Nintendo finally finding a way to kill Ryujinx shouldn't be all that surprising. Also, within the past few days, Nintendo has been seen significantly upping the ante against emulation to the point where even random YouTubers like Retro Game Corps are being hit with copyright strikes fo

Fortnite creator Epic Games today filed a lawsuit against Google and Samsung, accusing the two companies of anticompetitive behavior that discourages Android users from downloading games and apps outside of the Google Play Store. At issue is a Samsung feature called Auto Blocker, which is designed to prevent Galaxy devices from installing applications from unauthorized sources. Enabled by default, Samsung says that Auto Blocker keeps users safe from unknow n apps and malware, but it does disable sideloading. With Auto Blocker, when users attempt to install an app from an unknown or unauthorized source, they'll receive a pop-up alert letting them know that installation was prevented. Auto Blocker can be overridden during the setup of a Galaxy device, and there is also an option to temporarily remove it. Auto Blocker was first introduced last October, and ‌Epic Games‌ says that the feature is in fact a "coordinated effort" to block competition in app distribution.

Today, the Corsair MP600 Mini 1TB, the best SSD for the Steam Deck,n is available on Amazon for a nice 23% discount. The SSD normally retails for $109.99, but it's on sale for $84.99 for a limited time. The Corsair MP600 Mini 1TB gained a 4/5 star rating in our review for providing a high-end NVMe Gen 4 drive experience in a more compact form factor. Still, we did have some issues with its high pricing and limited availability at the time. With rated performance of 7 GB/s read and 6.5 GB/s write, this SSD has a deceptive amount of power for its size. As of now, though, this new price point of $84.99 seems a lot more appealing. While that may sound like a lot for a 1 TB SSD these days, it's important to remember that this is a Gen 4 drive, and it's a compact M.2-2230 drive. Most drives at this capacity, speed, and size are well over $100, even from lesser-known brands than Corsair. There are cheaper drives at this size available, but they're all significantly slow er

Chinese PC maker Topton has started selling a convertible notebook called the Topton L20 360° Yoga that features an 11 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel IPS LCD touchscreen display, a 360 degree hinge that lets you position the screen for use in laptop or tablet modes, and support for an optional stylus. Powered by a 6 watt Intel N100 Alder Lake-N quad-core processor, it's not exactly the highest performance laptop money can buy. But it's pretty cheap for a convertible with a full HD touchscreen display. The Topton L20 360° Yoga is available from AliExpress for $243 and up. The starting price is for a model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, but both are user upgradeable: the laptop has a single SODIMM slot that supports up to 32GB of DD4-3200 memory and an M.2 2242 slot for up to a 2TB SSD. AliExpress customers an also pay for additional memory or storage: a 16GB/512GB model sells for $280, and a top-of-the-line model with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage is priced at $431. A

One of the selling points for Chromebooks is that they receive automatic software updates delivered by Google on a regular basis, adding new features and performance enhancements over time. At least, until Google stops delivering updates. And that was a big problem for a while, because originally Google only promised to deliver updates for 5 years. Extending it to 8 years felt like a step in the right direction. And last year Google announced that it would deliver automatic software updates for at least 10 years from the time a model was launched. Now it looks like Google's not done extending its update policy though: a bunch of recently released Chr

How much are you willing to pay for external storage that matches the look of your PS5? Seagate hopes the answer is $129.99 for a 1TB SSD and $219.99 for 2TB, which is roughly twice the price of similarly-performing alternatives. The Seagate Game Drive External SSD sports a white and black exterior and Playstation logo that at least partially accounts for the drive's high price. It's also one of the faster 10Gbps drives we've tested in our PC-based benchmarks. But Sony only allows external storage to be used for running older PS4 games and backing up PS5 titles , so it's unclear how much speed really matters. If you're mostly using this drive for backups and so you don't have to re-download games that you move off of your internal drive, you can just start the process when you're done with a gaming session and walk away until the next time you want to game. Seagate tries to sweeten the deal with this drive by including a two-week trial of PlayStation Plus
