It’s difficult to comprehend, but the last time BMW treated the world to an awesomely-powerful M5 Touring was way back in 2007. But 17 years later, the German marque has righted those wrongs with arguably the most potent specimen to date. All hail the 2024 BMW M5 Touring (code-name G99 for all those automotive nerds out there), an insane hybrid estate (or wagon, if you’re Stateside) that boasts a frankly ridiculous total power output of 717bhp from a combination of snarling 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor/18.6kWh battery pack…

Meta has announced a Meta Quest 3 upgrade that I’ve been really hoping it would release, though its new HDMI Link app doesn’t offer the simple implementation I wanted. The free HDMI Link app, announced in a blog post, lets you use a Quest 3, Quest 2 or Quest Pro as a screen for any device you’re plugged into via HDMI or DisplayPort, albeit with the catch that you need additional hardware. When I saw the announcement, I was excited – but then I started reading. In the world of the…

With just a year and a few months to go before Windows 10 reaches its end-of-support date, Microsoft’s strategy to implore Windows 10 users to move up to Windows 11 has been pretty poorly executed. Windows 10 users have been struck by annoying ad campaigns that are invasive and oftentimes take up the full screen, or pop up incessantly.
