eTeknix: Antec P82 Flow Mid-Tower PC Case Review
There are so many amazing PC cases on the market right now, it’s easier than ever to find one to suit your needs. There are a few things we want from a modern PC case, and the Antec P82 Flow is ticking all the right boxes. A larger tempered glass window on the side, support for everything from big air cooling to custom loop, and built-in PSU shroud to hide all the ugly bits and pieces, they’re all here. About the only thing that it doesn’t have is RGB, but hey, you can always add that in yourself if you really want it.

Windows Central: Half-Life: Alyx review — VR's defining shooter is deeper than you think
Half-Life: Alyx is more than just a game; it's at the forefront of the VR gaming space, and it pushes the medium ahead in the most important ways. A killer story, brilliant dialog, immensely detailed graphics, groundbreaking sound design, and environmental interaction that'll leave you spoiled after you complete its 15-hour campaign. Half-Life: Alyx is a masterpiece in every way.

OverclockersClub: Star Control: Origins - Earth Rising Expansion Review
The Earth Rising Expansion consists of four parts: Aftermath; Return of the Lexites; The Syndicate; and Earth Rises. As the title of the first part suggests, the main events for the expansion do take place after the campaign of the base game, but some content is available during it. For this reason I decided to completely replay Star Control: Origins so I could enjoy any missions, weapons, and ships added to the full experience by the DLC and accessible before truly beginning them. This does mean there are now two review playthroughs covering the base game uploaded, which is something I took advantage of actually. I am also writing the parts' sections of this review after completing the respective part, and thus do not know if any question or concern I may be left with is answered or resolved within the next part.

9to5Mac: This adapter turns standard CarPlay into Wireless CarPlay, and somehow it actually works
A few years ago my wife and I purchased two new Hondas. My Civic came with Apple CarPlay, but her HR-V had a basic entertainment system. We were both used to driving with CarPlay by then, so we upgraded her system with an Alpine unit with Wireless CarPlay. I really wanted Wireless CarPlay, but replacing …

Anandtech: Best Motherboards: Q1 2020
Catching up on the state of motherboards for the quarter, the first part of 2020 has been very quiet. Overall, only a handful of new motherboards have been released, and none of which are particularly notable, as motherboard launches are increasingly centered around new platform launches from Intel/AMD. Which isnt to say that Q1 has been a complete snooze; we did see the Threadripper 3990X launch, but those motherboards were already in the market.
