Over the past couple of months, Starlink has branched out, offering its service in more ways than ever before. As more and more people sign up for its service, the network naturally gets a bit more strained and congested. Now it looks like Starlink is implementing a way to combat network congestion by creating a data cap.
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X isn't a new chip by any means, but it still offers a lot of power at a very good price. Now, the price has dropped to its lowest yet, coming in at $159. So, if you've been looking to build an AMD-based PC or are just trying to upgrade an older computer, now is a perfect time to pick up this chip.
The Apple Watch Ultra might be the best smartwatch Apple has to offer, but it’s not necessarily the best option for most buyers due to its sky-high price and massive size. Unless you’re an athlete or adventurer, you’ll be better served by the Apple Watch Series 8, which not only offers comprehensive health tracking tools but also carries a more palatable price tag. Another advantage of going with the Apple Watch Series 8 is the massive band and strap selection. While you can reuse an old band from an older Apple Watch, it's always nice to have different options to switch things up.

We've already got our sights on the Surface Pro 10, even if it's likely a whole year away.
The most exciting thing about a big Android update is being able to follow a pattern to get a taste of all the new features. Google's Android 12 update marked the biggest visual redesign of the operating system since Android 5 Lollipop thanks to Material You. The new design philosophy, along with an exhaustive list of new features, made Android 12 look and feel radically different from previous iterations. Android 13 then came along and doubled down on many of the same aesthetic choices. Now we're moving on to Android 14, and it's likely that there will be even more under-the-hood changes.
