How far are you willing to go for physical media? That's the question the Neo Geo AES+ asks above anything else, given the $90 price tags of its game cartridges. Though, comparing it to its original prices from the 90s, especially when adjusted for inflation, makes it start to look like a bargain.

Save $1,000 on this MSI Aegis R2 gaming PC, fitted with an RTX 5090, 64GB DDR5, and 2TB SSD for just $4,899.

New report reveals that AI companies are buying up physical books to train their LLMs and destroying them in the process.

This open-source project uses 3D printing to build the core of a portable MRI machine, although it still has a lower resolution compared to multi-million-dollar full-sized machines. One tech expert suggested that an AI model be trained on high-field MRI data or the physics of the actual machine to overcome this limitation.

Microsoft is increasing the minimum and recommended system requirements for Minecraft for the first time, 17 years after it launched. Although the system upgrade is quite reasonable and the hardware falls squarely within the most popular components in the most recent Steam Hardware Survey, those playing with a bare-minimum PC would have to upgrade their systems.
