Windows 11 has been a polarizing operating system, with many users frustrated by Microsoft’s strict hardware requirements and its increasing reliance on AI-powered tools like Copilot. But a free utility called Flyoobe has been gaining traction among Windows fans for offering a way around those barriers. The app not only allows users to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware but also provides far more freedom to customize how the OS is set up during the installation process. Development on the project is moving quickly, and the new version 1.10 has just been released, a mere four days after version 1.7…

As slim and portable as modern laptops have become, one common casualty of the thin-and-light design trend is the SD card reader. For anyone who needs to transfer media from cameras, dashcams, drones, or even medical devices like CPAP machines, the lack of a reader can be a daily annoyance. Fortunately, Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C SD/microSD card reader is here to fill the gap—and even better, it’s currently available for only $8.99 on Amazon, down from its standard $17.99. That 50% discount makes this one of the best deals we’ve seen for such a versatile accessory. Designed with convenience in mind,…

While robot vacuums have become increasingly sophisticated, one common limitation persists: navigating high thresholds and uneven floors. Most vacuums use two powered wheels in the back with a freely spinning front roller, which works in flat, open spaces but can cause repeated jams in homes with dramatic transitions. Ecovacs is addressing this with its Deebot X11 Pro Omnicyclone (X11 Pro Omni), showcased at IFA 2025, featuring four-wheel drive and the ability to climb thresholds up to 1.6 inches, a capability rarely seen in household robot vacuums. Four-wheel drive has been more common in robot lawn mowers, such as the Mammotion…

The leaked visuals indicate the release of a second-generation Nest Cam Outdoor, a third-generation Nest Cam Indoor, and a third-generation Nest Doorbell, all wired models. Though…

Microsoft Edge is gaining a nifty feature that could save users a subscription fee: background video playback. Now, videos on platforms like YouTube can continue playing even when the tab is minimized, a capability usually reserved for YouTube Premium subscribers. What makes it even more attractive is Edge’s built-in ad blocking. Turn on the ad blocker and you can watch videos in the background completely ad-free. This feature was first spotted in Edge Canary, Microsoft’s cutting-edge testing version of Edge, which can be unstable but lets you try new functionality early. Here’s how to activate it: enable the ad blocker…

Star Wars fans and LEGO enthusiasts have a new centerpiece to obsess over: the LEGO Death Star Ultimate Collector Series (75419).

Intel has long struggled to gain traction in the desktop GPU market, holding zero percent market share, according to Jon Peddie Research. The company’s journey has been rocky, with a few rough years culminating in a 10 percent stake taken by the U.S. government. Yet the launch of the Arc Pro B50 signals that Intel isn’t ready to abandon its discrete graphics ambitions. Targeted at industrial users rather than gamers, the $350 Arc Pro B50 is a lower-end sibling of the B60. Despite its compact, low-profile design that doesn’t need a dedicated power connector, the card packs 16 Xe cores,…

At IFA 2025, Aeotec unveiled the Smart Home Hub 2, the latest evolution of its SmartThings-compatible hardware, but the reveal brings mixed news. While the device embraces Matter, Zigbee 3.0, Thread, and Bluetooth Low Energy, it also abandons support for Z-Wave, leaving behind one of the oldest and most widely used smart home standards. For users who invested heavily in Z-Wave devices over the past decade, the change could be a deal-breaker. The new hub is built for stronger performance, with Aeotec touting a faster CPU and increased memory that deliver twice the speed of the previous model. Beyond protocol…
