Steam has released of its downloads page and storage manager, and PC gamers everywhere are rejoicing. The release allows you to view multiple libraries at once, view all download speed details in one clean line, and reorder downloads, among other capabilities. For those with extensive game libraries, the update is long overdue. Steam’s previous storage manager wasn’t as much a manager as it was an underwhelming display. It didn’t contain any real functionality; all it did was show the amount of storage space you were using for games on any given drive. The only thing you could do with it (besides wonder why you bought so many games) was create a new library folder, into which you could shift future downloads.
Google has been quietly hiring microprocessor engineers for several years, and the fruit of their labor is the new Tensor mobile system-on-a-chip (SoC). This chip will come in the new Pixel 6 and 6 Pro later this year, but Google didn’t offer any real hardware details on Tensor, except to say it’s based on technology from its Tensor AI server chips. A new report includes a few tantalizing details, though. A pegs Tensor as a 5nm chip, which is the same manufacturing node used for the latest chips from Qualcomm and Samsung — the Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100.

Boeing is a long-time government contractor that has had a hand in some of the most important space exploration missions in human history. That includes, but is not limited to, the Apollo lunar rover, numerous International Space Station modules, and the Saturn V rocket. With all that experience, you’d think Boeing would have a good handle on the CST-100 Starliner, but it just can’t catch a break. The company has announced yet another launch cancellation, this time thanks to a faulty fuel valve. The Starliner was scheduled to launch today (August 3rd) at 1:20 PM ET. However, engineers inspecting the vessel prior to the big moment detected “unexpected valve position indications in the propulsion system.
When I first became interested in computers, the idea of gaming on a low-end laptop or desktop was a contradiction in terms. Your options were: Intel, if you could afford them, AMD if you needed a cheaper but good-enough option, and Cyrix if you hated yourself. In the modern era, we aren’t nearly so constrained. Modern games target every type of device and form factor, making it comparatively easy to find titles to play. We’ve rounded up some of the better ones below. Just because you’re stuck on an older, slower PC doesn’t mean you have to give up gaming.
Valve’s decision to get into the console hardware business could have a number of long-term ramifications for the PC market. One apparent consequences will be a better AMD CPU driver for Linux. According to Michael Larabel , AMD’s current power management lags behind Intel when running Linux. He writes, “It’s no secret that the ACPI CPUFreq driver code has at times been less than ideal on recent AMD processors with delivering less than expected performance/behavior with being slow to ramp up to a higher performance state or otherwise coming up short of disabling the power management functionality outright.”
