Microsoft’s PowerToys has become an essential companion for Windows users who want more flexibility and control over their systems. The free add-on suite includes a growing number of utilities that improve productivity and customization, with tools like FancyZones for advanced window snapping, PowerRename for batch file naming, and countless others. Soon, it’s about to add a feature that feels overdue: automatic switching between light and dark mode in Windows 11. This new capability will arrive in PowerToys version 0.95, scheduled for release in October 2025, according to Windows Platform Senior Product Manager Niels Laute. Alongside the theme automation, the update…

It’s not every day you see a Windows laptop with 32GB of RAM priced under $300, but Newegg’s official eBay store is making it happen right now. The HP EliteBook 845 G8 is available for just $260.99, provided you’re okay with it being a refurbished unit. For shoppers who normally peg a solid deal at 16GB for around $500, this one’s a rare find. Of course, there are trade-offs. The EliteBook 845 G8 is based on older hardware, using AMD’s Ryzen Pro 5650U CPU with six cores from the 2021 Zen 3 generation, paired with DDR4 memory instead of DDR5.…

Concerns that Windows 11’s August security update, KB5063878, could be damaging SSDs have prompted an official response from Microsoft. Some users alleged that after installing the patch, their drives disappeared entirely from File Explorer and BIOS or reappeared as “RAW” partitions, effectively rendering the data inaccessible. Given how widespread these anecdotes seemed online, speculation quickly mounted that the update itself was the culprit. Microsoft, however, disputes the claim. In a statement, the company explained that extensive internal testing and telemetry reviews showed no evidence connecting the patch to SSD errors. The software giant said it has not observed any increased…

The Lemokey L0 HE is Keychron’s latest stab at a premium gaming keypad, and it’s clearly designed to impress. Built with a solid aluminum chassis, magnetic switches that let you adjust actuation depth, thick PBT keycaps with cutouts for RGB, and layers of sound-dampening foam, it brings a level of refinement not usually seen in this niche. There’s even a programmable scroll knob, a detachable USB-C cable, and easy browser-based customization, making it a much more polished device than the earlier Lemokey X0. That polish comes at a cost—$160, to be exact. It’s a hefty sum for a device that’s…

High dynamic range (HDR) technology has revolutionized the way we experience movies and shows, with Dolby Vision often hailed as the most advanced format available. But alongside the praise, one recurring frustration has lingered: Dolby Vision can make dark scenes almost impossible to see for many viewers. The root of the issue lies in how content is created versus how it’s viewed. Creators grade Dolby Vision titles on reference monitors in perfectly lit studios, while audiences at home watch on consumer-grade TVs in rooms with vastly different lighting conditions. That disconnect has led to a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t always…

The rise of mini PCs has completely changed the way people think about home computing. No longer just a backup or media box, today’s models are powerful enough to replace your laptop or desktop outright, often at a fraction of the cost. One of the most impressive examples right now is the Acemagic M1, which has seen its price slashed on Amazon to just $440. That’s down from its original $800 thanks to a stacked set of discounts, including a $100 coupon and an extra 10% off the already reduced price. For under $500, you’re getting performance that rivals high-end…

The system is designed with both convenience and safeguards in mind. Trusted contacts must also be Proton users, ensuring the process stays within Proton’s secure ecosystem. When someone attempts to log in on your behalf, you’ll be…

Roblox continues to cement its dominance in online gaming, recently achieving a staggering 45 million concurrent players on August 23rd—a new high that outpaces Steam’s all-time peak by about 5 million.

Roblox’s sheer scale is unmatched, underscoring its position as a cultural juggernaut in gaming. Unlike Steam, which serves as a distribution platform, Roblox operates as an entire ecosystem where users can create and share games through…
