That appeal is what made me ditch my PS3 for a high-end gaming PC back in 2012, even though it cost me a lot more. Since then, gaming has come a long way, and so has PC and console hardware. But ever since the current generation of consoles came out, I can’t help but wonder if PC gaming isn’t as…

Under the decision, all foreign-made consumer routers have been added to the FCC’s Covered List, a regulatory mechanism that prevents certain equipment from receiving authorization required for sale in the US. Without that approval, new…
