Why is Reddit down?

On the Reddit status website, the company indicates an “unresolved incident” taking place on November 20. The company confirms “degraded performance for reddit.com,” which appears to be accurate.

Attempting to visit the Reddit desktop site returns the following error: “upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure.” The mobile app isn’t working either; opening it shows the following message: “Sorry about that. There was an error loading content.”

The reason for the outage is unclear, but what is certain is that things aren’t working.

If you aren’t already using the Apple Sports app, you need to

The Apple Sports app running on an iPhone 16.

Friends, we are well into the best time of the year: football season. The Lions are off to an incredible start, the Vikings look dangerously good, and I'm continually amazed by how bad the Browns are.

The 2024 season has been a lot of fun. Not only have the games been entertaining, but I've also had a much better time following the latest plays and scores on my phone. After begrudgingly using the ESPN app last year and the year before, I decided to go all-in on Apple Sports this year — and I couldn't be happier. If you have an iPhone and aren't already using Apple Sports, this is your reminder that you absolutely need to.

The GPU market has a lot to offer, and that's regardless of your needs and your budget. Whether you're aiming for something super cheap to support some light browsing or a behemoth to handle the most GPU-intensive games, you have lots of options. In this guide, we'll show you what to look out for so that you can pick the best GPU that fits your budget and needs.
Nvidia, AMD, or Intel?
Consumer graphics cards are generally split into two categories -- integrated and discrete graphics. Since you're here, you're most likely looking for a discrete (or dedicated) GPU, and that's what we're going to focus on in this article.
