Obsbot Meet 2 review: This tiny 4K webcam is simply great

$129 The Obsbot Meet 2 may be the tiniest 4K webcam I’ve ever seen. Mounted on your laptop or monitor by a magnetic mount, the Meet 2 delivers surprisingly solid quality for such a tiny device, though the company insists that a stick-on privacy shutter is more effective than a flip-over lid. The camera comes in three different colors: gray, white, and a faintly metallic “aurora green,” and…

Bought G.Skill RAM after 2018? You could claim up to $150 in free cash

DDR5 RAM is now three-to-four times as expensive as it should be, thanks to the “AI” boom (and it won’t stop there). But this week, there’s an oh-so-rare opportunity for consumers to fight back, at least for a small subset of United States consumers… via a successful class-action lawsuit against G.Skill. (Hey, you gotta take your wins where you can get ’em.) A settlement has been…
