    Question Google Pixel 3a Reportedly Being Throttled By Digital Wellbeing

    I agree the word 'Throttling' shouldn't be in the article or title. Throttling implies the phone's SOC is being downclocked or not able to up-clock due to this software. Like battery saver mode. Unless it really is doing this but that wouldn't be confirmed anyway.

    Best of Computex 2014: Tom's Guide Awards

    I like how the MSI GT72 has a 220w AC adapter versus 180 watts with the GT60 and GT70, with Optimus to suck power from the battery if 180w wasn't enough. It was a cheap move but I guess they got smart and upped the wattage closer to 240w. Are there speakers in the back now (the orange on the...
