Cloud storage is great and super handy, but sometimes you just gotta move a lot of files around, physically, really fast. And if you don’t want to load all your data onto a couple of million floppy disks, the Crucial X9 Pro portable SSD is a great way to do it. This little gadget gets…
Here’s a little tip I’ve discovered over the years: Deal events like Prime Day and Black Friday are the ideal time to splurge (and save big) on Samsung’s PC hardware. Samsung is renowned for its high-performance PC gear — especially its monitors, SSDs, and portable drives. But the behemoth company utterly slashes prices during deal…
Macworld It’s beautiful, it’s tiny, it’s loud, it’s wireless, and it’s at an all-time-low price for Prime Day. Apple’s Beats Pill speaker is down to $98 right now, the best price we’ve ever seen for this Bluetooth speaker. It’s not the first one the Beats Pill has been around, but this new model is a…
Many users customize the ribbons in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook to suit their needs in order to work faster and more efficiently. Over the years these menus can become highly optimized for an individual user. If they lose these configurations, for example if their computer breaks down, it could take them several hours to…

The Philips Hue Bridge? Needs an ethernet cable. Got an Apple TV streaming box? It does Wi-Fi,…
I’ve seen a lot of handheld gaming PCs come down the pike since the Steam Deck changed the game…and I wouldn’t buy any of them for myself. That’s because Windows 11 isn’t great for gaming on these little gadgets. But SteamOS is, and now you can install it on some of the competitors, including the…
Right now, big deals on splashy products dominate the headlines—supercharged PCs (and components), fancy TVs, expensive vacuum cleaners. But you can save money on less dramatic items during Amazon Prime Day, too. Cables, lighting, desk accessories, chargers—these everyday products sound boring, but life sucks when you don’t have them on hand. When the discounts are…
Building a new PC from scratch can be super fun, especially if you score some sweet deals on the individual components. Luckily, AMD Ryzen CPUs are massively discounted this Prime Day, so now’s the perfect time to buy. Samsung’s fastest SSDs are already on sale, so with that covered, you should invest in a good…
YouTube has an AI slop problem, with both the main site and the booming Shorts section filling up with low-effort crap shoveled in front of viewers by the millions. New policies are trying to demonetize, or sometimes even ban, accounts that take advantage of AI to mass produce garbage. But if Google is upset that…
