In the world of soul and R&B, few names command as much reverence as D'Angelo.

The 3 Best Monitor Sizes for Gaming
A few weeks ago, I was sitting in front of my aging 24-inch monitor, grinding through a late-night gaming session of Cyberpunk 2077. Everything felt… fine, but not amazing.

Alas, the time when it could have wiped out an entire city has long since passed.
