LONG AGO, before I first left Maximum PC, I looked at Netgear’s portable 4G mobile modem/hotspot. That thing was awesome— if you couldn’t get a decent internet speed from the local Wi-Fi or your ISP, you’d simply pop in a sim for an easy and convenient way to get running at 4G speeds.
When I left the mag, I actually pinched it from Alan, much to his disdain. The reason was that, before I moved to Tom’s Hardware in January 2019, I bought my first home, and boy did it need some work. It’s fine, I’m a bricklayer’s son, so working around building sites is sort of my thing. The problem was, the internet at the time was a mess and I had to wait two months to be connected. The house was out in the sticks, so there was a chance the network could go down if we had a bad storm. I was nervous, especially approaching my first day at the new job, and it being the start of CES. So I grabbed the Nighthawk M1 4G, popped my sim in, and was good to go.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
