Best VPN for Utah residents in 2026
NordVPN leads with fastest speeds and advanced features, while Mullvad offers exceptional privacy at $5 monthly and ExpressVPN provides extensive US coverage. Utah's new law creates uncertainty for VPN users, potentially leading to traffic blocking or invasive identity checks by websites. Utah residents are facing a major shift in online privacy. A new state law, Senate Bill 73, has made Utah the first state to specifically target VPN use as part of its online age-verification rules, holding websites responsible even when users attempt to mask their location with a VPN. Privacy advocates warn the law could pressure websites into blocking VPN traffic entirely or expanding invasive identity checks for everyone.

Why is my Wi-Fi still slow after upgrading my internet plan?
Compare MSI Roamii BE Pro vs BE Lite mesh systems and Wi-Fi 7 adapters to choose the right upgrade solution for your home computing setup. Why is my Wi-Fi still slow after upgrading my internet plan? Your router is likely the bottleneck, not your internet plan. If your wired speeds are faster than your Wi-Fi, or performance drops in certain rooms, the issue is almost certainly your router hardware - and upgrading it will make a bigger difference than paying for a faster plan. A faster internet plan doesn't always translate to faster real-world Wi-Fi - your router may be limiting the speeds your devices receive.

GTA 6 publisher says PC isn't 'core audience' (with a straight face)
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick claims consoles are Rockstar's "core consumer" for Grand Theft Auto 6, justifying the delayed PC release strategy. PCWorld highlights that leaked data contradicts this narrative, showing PC accounts for 46% of GTA 5 sales between 2021-2026. The console-first approach appears to be a business tactic to encourage double purchases rather than addressing technical limitations. Did you know you can just say things that aren't true and there's nothing anyone can do about it? Check this out: "My dog has six legs." Bam, look at all the consequences I'm not facing for fibbing to you. In 2026, you can do this to an audience of millions--even in a courtroom or congressional hearing after swearing an oath--and nothing happens. On a completely different and unrelated note: Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick gave an interview to Bloomberg discussing the company's upcoming, in which he claimed that PC isn't the company's "core consumer." "Rockstar always starts on console because I think with regard to a release like that, you're judged by serving the core," Zelnick told Bloomberg .

Hands on: Windows' DLSS rival isn't ready to save handheld gaming
PCWorld tested Microsoft's Auto SR, a DLSS rival exclusive to the Asus ROG Ally X, finding it delivers only marginal 10% performance gains in games like Borderlands 3. The technology currently works only in docked mode at 720p resolution and produces notably degraded visuals described as'muddy' and'swimmy' compared to native resolution. Auto SR remains in Preview status with significant usability issues including incorrect scaling and required game restarts, making it inadequate for handheld gaming improvement. Last week Microsoft announced the arrival of Auto SR, its Windows-branded alternative to upscaling tech like DLSS, with great fanfare. After being semi-exclusive to Snapdragon laptops, it came to the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X and nothing else. Not even the non-X variant, since it needs an NPU to run. And also it only works in docked mode, not handheld mode.

A new US phone network for Christians aims to block porn and gender-related content
Launching next week on T-Mobile's network, the cell plan takes a nuclear approach to online safety. A new US-wide cell phone network marketed to Christians is set to launch next week. It blocks porn, which experts in network security say marks the first time a US cell plan has used network-level blocking for such content that can't be turned off even by adult account owners. It's also rolling out a filter on sexual content aimed at blocking material related to gender and trans issues, which will be optional but turned on by default across all plans. The network, which is currently being tested ahead of its May 5 launch date, will be run by Radiant Mobile, a newly launched mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). These operators don't own cell towers but buy bandwidth from the big providers (in this case, T-Mobile) and sell to specific demographics (President Trump announced his own MVNO last year called Trump Mobile; CREDOMobile sends donations to progressive causes).
