TP-Link seeks FCC exemption from router ban, says it is a US company In context: The most popular router company in the US, TP-Link, has faced the threat of a ban in the country for several years. With the FCC's foreign-made router ban making that scenario more likely than ever, TP-Link has met with the agency to once again argue that it is an American, not Chinese, company. A pair of FCC regulatory filings show that TP-Link met with officials on Thursday, during which the company's lawyers and consultants spoke with staff for FCC Commissioners Olivia Trusty and Anna Gomez. The intention of the meeting was for TP-Link to secure an exemption from the recent foreign-made router ban introduced by the FCC. The firm repeated the argument that it is a US company with headquarters based in Irvine, California. It added that research shows TP-Link has over a third of the direct-to-consumer router market share, and that its devices are praised by reviewers for their performance, ease of install, and affordable price. The prospect of TP-Link routers being banned in the US first appeared in December 2024, when reports revealed that the Commerce, Defense, and Justice departments had opened their own probes into the firm over national security concerns. Its pricing and, most significantly, ties to China also came under scrutiny. In February, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued TP-Link over allegations that it allowed state-sponsored Chinese hacking groups to access its devices. Paxton first opened an investigation into the company in October 2025. Founded in Shenzhen, China, in 1996 by brothers Zhao Jianjun and Zhao Jiaxing, TP-Link established its US arm in 2008 to handle marketing and support in North America, though ownership and operations remained tied to its China-based parent. In 2024, TP-Link USA merged with the company's non-Chinese operations to form TP-Link Systems Inc., headquartered in Irvine, California – a move intended to create an "organizational separation," with distinct ownership, governance, R&D, and supply chains on each side. But the US isn't entirely convinced the separation is distinct enough. TP-Link will be hoping it can follow in the footsteps of Netgear and Adtran, which have received exemptions from the ban for the next 18 months. Applying for an exemption requires companies to disclose ownership (including owners' nationalities), leadership, and supply chain details, and certify accuracy in a signed submission. CEO and co-founder Jeffrey Chao is a Chinese citizen, though he is reportedly seeking a Trump gold card: a fast-track US immigration visa for wealthy foreigners that costs $1 million. The FCC said routers already authorized for use in the US can continue receiving software and firmware updates, including security patches and compatibility fixes, under a temporary waiver that expires on March 1, 2027.

If Apple built a $299 "Neo" desktop PC, Windows would have a real problem Crystal ball: Let's be clear upfront: there is no Mac Neo desktop. No leak, no supply chain rumor, no analyst note. What follows is conjecture – but conjecture worth taking seriously, because the pieces are sitting right there on Apple's workbench. The MacBook Neo has done something Apple almost never does: it surprised the industry. When Asus co-CEO described Apple's $599 laptop as a genuine "shock" to the Windows PC market, he wasn't being dramatic. PC makers had spent years safely assuming Apple would never touch the sub-$700 segment. That assumption is now broken. The budget Windows laptop space – roughly $500 to $800 – has been the Windows ecosystem's single greatest structural advantage for two decades. The Neo just walked through the front door. So here's the question: what if the Neo was only the opening move? Apple did not build the MacBook Neo out of altruism. The company has spent 20+ years cultivating the premium end of the market, where margins are fat and the brand carries weight. A $599 laptop looks like a departure from that strategy, but only if you ignore where the chip came from. The Neo uses an A18 Pro with one GPU core disabled, repurposed from remaining batches of the iPhone 16 Pro production run. As industry analyst Ben Thompson put it, "you could make the case that some number of these chips are effectively free for Apple." This is not Apple going soft on margins. It is Apple finding a way to monetize silicon that would otherwise go to waste, turning a manufacturing byproduct into a product line. It's actually a sharp financial maneuver. A niche product in a niche market? A hypothetical Mac Neo desktop would follow the same logic. Apple's A19 Pro SoC powers current iPhones. Some of those chips will fail GPU validation and get binned down. Instead of writing them off, Apple could drop them into a small, fanless (or not) enclosure and sell them for $299. The economics are almost identical to the MacBook Neo, minus the display, keyboard, and battery. The bill of materials should be lower. The margin story could be better. Standard PC desktops are somewhat of an afterthought in consumer technology. The sub-$700 notebook segment alone accounted for roughly 75 million units in 2025, that's nearly 40% of total laptops, according to IDC. The desktop market is a fraction of that. iPhones, iPads, and even MacBooks, where Apple dominates the premium segment... a $299 desktop would not move the needle on Apple's revenue in any meaningful way. So, why bother? That framing misses the strategic intent. The original Mac mini was never about volume. It was about giving Windows users a low-friction on ramp to macOS: bring your own keyboard, mouse, and monitor. A Mac Neo desktop... small, cheap, perhaps in the same color palette as the MacBook Neo, would be aimed at the same psychology, but at a much younger audience. Consider the education market. iPhones hold over 55% of the US smartphone market, with significantly higher penetration among younger demographics. These students already live inside Apple's ecosystem. A $299 desktop – or less with an education discount – would be an easy call for a school district that has already committed to iPads and needs to introduce students to a productivity environment. ChromeOS has dominated that segment for years. A Mac Neo at that price range would be a credible alternative, and unlike a Chromebook, it runs full macOS, including the apps students will actually use in the workforce. Brand loyalty established in college tends to persist. The student who buys a $499 MacBook Neo this fall is not a single unit sale, they are a likely Mac user for the next decade or more. A desktop that follows the same playbook, but planted in classrooms and dorm rooms even earlier, extends that pipeline further back. Also, Windows is not having a great moment Timing matters, and right now, Windows is more vulnerable than usual. Most Windows laptops under $700 arrive with caveats: McAfee trials, OneDrive upsells, manufacturer utility suites, Candy Crush pinned to the Start menu. Microsoft's aggressive push of Copilot AI into Windows has added another layer of friction for users who simply want to get work done. The forced OneDrive integration has confused and frustrated casual users (not that Apple can't be blamed for doing the same with iCloud on iPhones, albeit more subtly). Windows Update reliability remains a persistent complaint. User satisfaction with the Windows experience, particularly at the budget end, is at a low point. Analysts warn that retail prices for mainstream laptops could climb by as much as 40%, driven by memory shortages tied to AI data center demand. Asus has confirmed that memory prices have doubled in a single quarter. That squeeze makes it harder for Windows OEMs to deliver compelling hardware at the price points they've historically owned. Apple is not immune to those same pressures. The MacBook Neo's unexpected demand is already straining the supply of usable "free" A18 Pros, and a pivot to produce more would likely erase the margins that made the product viable. A Mac Neo desktop would face similar headwinds. This is not the ideal environment to launch cheap hardware. And yet, the competitive window may not stay open forever. If Windows manages to clean up its act, the dissatisfaction that currently makes switchers receptive will start to close. Apple has an opportunity now that it may not have in years to come. Apple entering the sub-$300 desktop market would not be a curiosity. It would be a statement. The MacBook Neo brought macOS and Apple's build quality into a segment that's long been Windows territory. A desktop at $299 would extend that pressure into schools, into shared family computing, into the Raspberry Pi-adjacent world of small, inexpensive machines that people use for light productivity and media. Apple's strategy here could follow a pattern it has used before: the iPhone SE gave budget-conscious buyers a way into iOS, the $329 iPad did the same. Each additional user on lower-margin hardware still feeds the services business, which many analysts expect to become Apple's primary profit engine in the next decade. None of this is confirmed. Apple has not announced such a product. There are no credible rumors suggesting one is in development. But the MacBook Neo showed how Apple is now willing to use silicon economics to attack markets it previously ceded. The desktop is one such frontier: smaller, simpler, and potentially far more disruptive to the Windows ecosystem than anyone is currently anticipating.

If Apple built a $299 "Neo" desktop PC, Windows would have a real problem: The MacBook Neo has done something Apple almost never does: it surprised the industry. When Asus co-CEO described Apple's $599 laptop as a genuine "shock" to the Windows PC market, he wasn't being dramatic. PC makers had…

The Internet Archive makes 758 classic PC Gamer demo discs available to the public The good ole days: Gaming magazines were a staple of my childhood. In the 90s, before the Internet really took off, print publications like GamePro, Nintendo Power, and PC Gamer were the primary way to stay up to date with the gaming industry. Hardcore gamers like myself subscribed to all the major magazines, and there was no better feeling than when an issue arrived in the mail with a free demo. Getting to try snippets of new games without having to spend extra money at your local rental store was awesome, and it was doubly cool for PC games, since rental outlets for such titles weren't a thing. Some of my earliest PC gaming memories involved demo discs, and now thanks to PC Gamer and The Internet Archive, you can revisit the demo era. The PC Gamer collection currently consists of 758 entries including loads of demo discs from the 90s and 2000s. A quick skim revealed some of my personal favorites including Soldier of Fortune, Left 4 Dead, Need for Speed: High Stakes, Worms, Kingpin: Life of Crime, Resident Evil, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six; go back further and you'll find even earlier titles on floppy disks like Theme Park and The Incredible Machine 2. Several entries are simply labeled with the month they were released, and don't explicitly state which demo files are on the disc. For these, I suppose you would have to do a bit of research to try and link them to that specific magazine issue or just download the ISO and see what you find. Available demos span a variety of languages including English, Italian, Lithuanian, Slovenian, Portuguese, and Spanish, among others. Given that much variety, surely you'll be able to find something in your native language worth checking out. Most of the discs appear to be around 650MB in size, which shouldn't take too long to download over a decent connection. Floppies are only a few megabytes and can be had within seconds.

Asrock's new HUDIMM standard wants to make DDR5 affordable again, by cutting it in half Please Burst: Asrock recently introduced the HUDIMM standard, a new type of DDR5 RAM module designed to slash performance and keep the PC memory market affordable throughout some never-before-seen market conditions. The new HUDIMM modules are essentially a worse edition of traditional DDR5, because memory prices inflated by enterprise and AI demand have pushed capable consumer hardware increasingly out of reach for mainstream buyers. The company describes HUDIMM as a patent-pending solution aimed at giving system integrators more flexibility and a lower cost of entry. Standard DDR5 modules use a two sub-channel architecture, with a 2×32-bit configuration optimized for both capacity and throughput. HUDIMM cuts that in half, moving to a single 32-bit sub-channel and reducing the number of DRAM chips per stick accordingly. The result is reduced bandwidth and lower memory density, trade-offs Asrock is positioning as acceptable given what the alternative currently costs. Asrock co-developed the standard alongside Intel and TeamGroup. Intel has already moved to support HUDIMM modules across motherboards built on its 600, 700, and 800-series chipsets, and described the technology as a necessary response to present market conditions – a way to serve customers who need affordable computing devices and for whom peak memory performance is no longer the primary concern. Intel added that HUDIMM should carry forward the broader benefits of the DDR5 platform at a lower price point for the foreseeable future. Whether consumers see a deliberate performance cut as an "innovation" is another matter. TeamGroup, for its part, says the one sub-channel design was developed to address the current demand environment for DRAM. Together with GPUs, storage, and essentially everything else, memory chips are now being harvested like fresh crop by enterprises and Big Tech players looking to build more data centers than the planet can arguably sustain. That pressure has rippled into the consumer market, where component pricing now reflects dynamics that have little to do with typical PC upgrade cycles, and quite a lot to do with infrastructure buildouts most buyers will never directly benefit from. Asrock is also highlighting HUDIMM's compatibility with mixed-module configurations as a partial remedy for its performance limitations. On the Asrock H610M-Combo-II motherboard, pairing an 8GB HUDIMM module with a standard 16GB DDR5 module can, according to the company, produce better bandwidth results than running a single 24GB DDR5 module alone. Support for the standard is also being extended to smaller form factors. Asrock plans to bring HUDIMM to its DeskMini line through an HSODIMM variant, targeting the laptop and mobile-adjacent segment of the market where affordability concerns are similarly acute.

Google Pixel 10 Great cameras take pics that look almost Pro quality Pixelsnap means it works with MagSafe peripherals Outstanding software and AI features Qi2 magnetic charging Performance is still lagging, especially in games Battery life should be much better, so buy a magnetic charger 128GB doesn't feel like enough Our editors hand-pick related products using a variety of criteria: direct competitors targeting the same market segment, or devices that are similar in size, performance, or feature sets. Expert reviews and ratings Despite the same price as last year, Google has added some big additions, including magnetic charging for the first time on an Android flagship and a telephoto camera. There are other improvements, and aside from a few small niggles, the Pixel 10 makes for an obvious go-to option for anyone looking for an entry-level flagship phone. By TechAdvisor on September 19, 2025 Assuming the battery life isn’t some kind of glitch and that’s the results we’re working with, stamina is the biggest downfall here. It’s not aggressively bad, and shouldn’t drastically affect those who religiously charge overnight, but it’s still quite a ways behind the competition. Add the weaker performance into the mix, and it’s clear that the Pixel 10 is nowhere near as good a compact flagship as the Samsung Galaxy S25. By ExpertReviews on August 28, 2025 The Google Pixel 10 is Google’s most competitive Pixel yet, with magnetic charging that will steal MagSafe’s thunder and real zoom cameras that top whatever a comparable iPhone can shoot. It’s a great phone today, but with a decent future discount it should be the first phone you consider. By TechRadar on August 27, 2025 Google has redrawn the expectations of base flagship smartphones.
