Today, two reviews in one. The Samsung Galaxy Book Go laptop is one of the more unremarkable laptops I’ve ever held, but what interested me in the device was what runs under the hood. This laptop has given me my first opportunity to play with Windows on ARM and see how well Microsoft’s efforts to make Windows run on the ARM architecture commonly seen on phones, tablets, and other devices. The results are…. Interesting. Let’s dive in.

Lots of random device reviews and news today. Headphones, headsets, controllers and more.

Those are the stories that caught my eye over the last few days.

Rogers and Instagram dominated over the last several days, an interesting combination. Rogers trying to win back trust, Instagram (and Meta) trying to do everything it can to eliminate user trust.
