Create Your Own Router and Firewall Solution With pfSense

Over-the-counter routers are fine and work as they should, but they simply aren't enough for some of us. Quite a few of the standard routers located around the homes of the world allow for an open source WRT-based firmware to be installed, but that might still not be enough. If that's the case, you might want to look into the idea of building your router. Today, I'm going to take you through the basics and show just how easily you can get a router and firewall with any feature you could want on more powerful hardware than pre-built routers offer.

Entire AMD Vega Lineup Reportedly Leaked - Available on June 5th?

Reports are doing the rounds regarding alleged AMD insiders having "blown the whistle", so to speak, on the company's upcoming Vega graphics cards. This leak also points towards retail availability of Vega cards on the 5th of June, which lines up nicely with AMD's May 31st Computex press conference. An announcement there, followed by market availability on the beginning of next week does sound like something that would happen in a new product launch.

On to the meat and bones of this story, three different SKUs have been leaked, of which no details are currently known, apart from their naming and pricing. AMD's Vega line-up starts off with the RX Vega Core graphics card, which is reportedly going to retail for $399. This graphics card is going to sell at a higher price than NVIDIA's GTX 1070, which should mean higher performance. Higher pricing with competitive performance really wouldn't stir any pot of excitement, so, higher performance is the most logical guess. The $399 pricing sits nicely in regards to AMD's RX 580, though it does mean there is space for another SKU to be thrown into the mix at a later date, perhaps at $329, though I'm just speculating on AMD's apparent pricing gap at this point.

SteelSeries Arctis 7 Review

The main party piece of the Arctis 7 is that it features lag-free wireless connectivity of up to 12m, with a 15 hour battery life. Gaming headsets, especially of this calibre tend to have a 10-20hr battery life, which isn't very long comparatively, though this tends to be entirely down to the size and quality of the drivers used.
