Nintendo Switch owners will have to wait or look elsewhere if they want to play two of February's more notable new releases. In separate announcements, Square Enix and Techland shared they're delaying the Switch versions of Life is Strange: Remastered Collection and Dying Light 2 to beyond next month. Both games will arrive on time on other platforms as previously planned, with the former slated to come out on February 1st and the latter on February 4th.
— Life is Strange (@LifeIsStrange) January 20, 2022On Twitter, Square Enix said the Switch version of Life is Strange: Remastered Collection won't be ready until later in the year. Dying Light 2 faces a similarly lengthy delay, with Techland telling Eurogamer it expects to make the title available on Nintendo's portable console through a cloud streaming client "within six months from the original date." Obviously, neither announcement is great news if you were planning to play those games on Switch, but at the very least, you can play them elsewhere.

The upcoming program (PDF link) for the International Solid-State Circuits Conference includes a listing for "Bonanza Mine," an "ultra-low-voltage energy-efficient Bitcoin mining ASIC," a paper authored by three Intel employees. The listing was unearthed by Tom's Hardware.
So far, the program doesn't indicate whether or not Intel actually plans to ship Bonanza Mine as a finished product or as a research project. The listing, however, implies the latter. The lead author, Vikam Suresh, is described as a research scientist at Intel Labs, focusing on "high-performance and energy-efficient micro-architecture and circuit design for data encryption and authentication, design of cryptographic primitives for random number and key generation, and block-chain technologies and high-performance data compression."
In December, Raja Koduri, senior vice president and general manager of the Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics (AXG) Group at Intel, hinted at the company's plans for blockchain and that they would not include general-purpose CPUs or GPUs. That's probably not a surprise given that effective Bitcoin mining moved into A

Enpass is a browser app that simplifies security while simultaneously rendering your accounts practically unbreakable. It actually comes up with passwords on your behalf, stores them on your local device so you'll always have them on hand, and then automatically enters them when you log into your accounts.
That means you'll never again waste time trying to remember a password you haven't used in months, so you also won't have to deal with the frustration of getting accidentally locked out. It also means that your security will be unsurpassed since Enpass encrypts everything and doesn't store any of your data on their own servers.
It's a really effective product with great reviews and user ratings to back it up, such as these from Trustpilot and G2

Time and concrete benchmark results will tell the full tale, but if you're planning to buy or upgrade your PC this year, here are the broad strokes of what we currently know to expect and what that means for you.
Laptops
Before we dig in, keep one quick thing in mind—while the CPU you choose generally dictates a laptop's real-world performance, the design of specific laptop models can influence the final results.
This caveat is important, because competition is fierce between AMD and Intel right now. That means you'll see similar features and specs between the two companies when these chips launch in Q1 2022, so paying attention to the nuances (and reviews of individual laptops) is that much more important.
