Poco M6 Pro (4G) in for review

Say hi to the just-announced Poco M6 Pro - a slightly different phone from the previously announced Poco M6 Pro 5G, which launched back in the summer.

What's key here is that the Poco M6 Pro is a 4G-only device. That's because it's powered by theHelio G99 chipset, which in this case has been tuned specially for Xiaomi and is called the Helio G99 Ultra.

The Poco M6 Pro ships in a well-stocked package with a 67W charger, a USB cable, and a case.

Where the 4G-only Poco M6 Pro shines over its 5G-ready counterpart is in the display - the new phone has an AMOLED panel with 120Hz...

AMD announces new Ryzen 5000 and 8000G series CPU and RX 7600 XT GPU

AMD today announced multiple CPU models spanning two generations of sockets, as well as a new graphics card during CES 2024.

First is the new Ryzen 8000G series of APU. These are Zen4-based CPU models with integrated graphics. This may seem confusing now since AMD CPUs these days also include integrated graphics but the APU models feature much more powerful graphics that should enable gaming without a dedicated graphics card.

iPhone survives fall from ill-fated Alaska Airlines flight

If you pay attention to world news, then you probably know about Alaska Airlines flight 1282. While climbing to its cruising altitude on a US domestic flight between Portland, Oregon, and Ontario, California, a panel in the fuselage of the Boeing 737 Max 9 plane simply blew off causing a loss of cabin pressure and a lot of things simply being sucked out into the air.

One of those things was an iPhone that was recovered by Seanathan Bates, a game designer and .NET application developer. He found it on the side of a road while taking a walk, and then of course proceeded to hand it over to...
