AMD FSR 4 performance in Mafia: The Old Country

It’s been over two decades since I first stepped into the world of organized crime in the original Mafia game. Back then, its graphics were impressive, and its story was unmatched, even if its world was limited by the technology of the time. Fast-forward to today, and Mafia: The Old Country has completely redefined that experience. It’s a modern reboot, built with updated visuals,

If you’re a Digital Citizen subscriber, you know that we had difficulties with traffic and advertising revenue decreasing because of the way Google and other companies are developing and implementing artificial intelligence.

If you appreciate our work, become our sponsor and donate!

We don’t know how you feel about what’s going on with Google’s AI Overviews and their latest AI Mode, but to us at Digital Citizen, it definitely feels like Google’s bent on destroying small independent publishers. Unfortunately, their AI products use the content we create to provide answers to people all over the world, without sending us any more traffic. This means we can

5 things you can't do with the Windows 11 Start Menu

Windows 11 offers a new, fresh-looking Start Menu whose modern design holds a lot of promise. By default, it’s centered on the desktop and much simpler compared to its iterations from previous Windows operating systems. However, while it does feel cleaner, the Windows 11 Start Menu lacks some key features and improvements that users have requested for years. Here’s a look at five important

Digital Citizen has a new site motto

When we launched Digital Citizen on October 15, 2015, we used a rather generic motto: “Digital Citizen - Life in a digital world!” Many readers overlooked it, as it appeared only in the title bar of their web browser or in Google search results, when looking for how-to content online.
