Great laptop deals can be hit or miss, but this one lands squarely in the “don’t wait too long” category. Right now, Best Buy has slashed the price of the Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED down to just $569.99, which represents nearly $400 in savings compared to its original asking price of around $1,000. For what you’re getting here—an OLED screen, Intel’s latest Core Ultra 5 processor, 16GB of memory, and impressive battery life—it’s hard to find a better offer. The standout feature of this laptop is its 14-inch OLED panel, boasting 1920×1200 resolution for exceptional contrast, color accuracy, and…
High-performance OLED monitors rarely come cheap, but Alienware’s ultrawide lineup has built a reputation for delivering standout value compared to the competition. The original Alienware AW3423DWF helped set that trend, and right now it’s available at a massive discount. Amazon is offering the 34-inch OLED ultrawide for just $549.99, slashing its price in half from the $1,099.99 launch tag. This model combines a 3440×1440 curved ultrawide panel with all the benefits of OLED, including inky blacks and brilliant color accuracy. Its 165Hz refresh rate keeps fast-paced games smooth and responsive, even if newer OLED displays have pushed past that number.…
The question of whether your CPU will include a stock cooler has become a moving target in recent years, especially as manufacturers shift strategies to balance costs, performance expectations, and user habits. AMD, once celebrated for shipping most of its Ryzen processors with functional and sometimes even stylish coolers, appears to be scaling back those efforts. The result is a lineup that leans far more on aftermarket solutions than in years past. New details uncovered from AMD’s official product pages show that the company is phasing out two of its more notable stock coolers: the Wraith Prism (SR4) and Wraith…
Windows 11’s next annual feature update, version 25H2, has officially entered the Release Preview Channel, signaling that its public release is just around the corner. With September quickly approaching, this smaller, more streamlined update could land on PCs sooner rather than later. The way Microsoft is handling 25H2 makes the process a little different from past releases. Both 24H2 (last year’s large update) and 25H2 share the same servicing branch, which means most of the 25H2 code is already quietly sitting on your machine. When the rollout begins, your PC won’t need to download the full update again—it’ll just receive…
Microsoft Edge users recently worried that one of the internet’s most trusted ad blockers, uBlock Origin, had been removed from the browser’s extension store. The news came shortly after Google’s Chrome eliminated support for the tool, fueling speculation that Edge was also phasing it out as part of Chromium’s wider shift from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3. Manifest V3, the new extension framework being adopted across Chromium browsers, is touted by Google as a way to improve security, privacy, and performance. Yet, for developers and power users, it comes with a major trade-off: stricter rules that prevent advanced extensions, including…
While most people think of Windows 95 as a relic of the past, it’s still alive and well in some surprising corners of the world. On a farm outside Düsseldorf, Germany, the operating system that launched three decades ago continues to manage the daily sorting of tens of thousands of eggs. The system, which turned 30 on August 24, has quietly proven itself to be one of the most reliable workhorses in agricultural technology. The egg sorting machine in question is massive, covering an area of about 40 by 40 meters (131 by 131 feet). Each day, it processes up…
Artificial intelligence is spreading across everyday life at an unprecedented pace, with AI-powered chatbots and search tools now being used by millions of people who may not have extensive experience with software or security. Unfortunately, this widespread adoption has drawn the attention of hackers, who are probing for ways to manipulate AI systems to their advantage. A new report from security researchers at Trail of Bits has shed light on a novel attack method: hiding malicious prompt injections inside images, where the text remains invisible to human users but is revealed when processed by AI. Prompt injection attacks involve sneaking…
The debate over AI in creative spaces has now hit YouTube once again, this time over video “enhancements” applied without user consent. Multiple creators and viewers have spotted a strange polish on Shorts clips that wasn’t there before, leading to accusations that YouTube was quietly altering videos behind the scenes. The company later confirmed the changes: it is running an experiment that uses machine learning to automatically clean up videos during processing. These tweaks, including unblurring, denoising, and general sharpening, are similar to features built into modern smartphones—but they’re happening after upload, without any input from the person who made…
Keeping your devices powered up quickly and reliably doesn’t have to cost much—especially with Anker’s 100W USB-C charging cables currently marked down on Amazon. You can pick up a two-pack of the 6-foot variant for only $11.99, which is excellent value given their speed and build quality. These cables support full 100W power delivery, meaning they can fast-charge laptops, tablets, smartphones, and more as long as you pair them with the right wall adapter. Their braided nylon design makes them tougher than standard cables, so they’ll hold up better against twisting, bending, and daily use without wearing out quickly. At…
Clearing up desk space can be as simple as moving your monitor off its stock stand, but ultrawide displays are notoriously hard to mount because of their oversized dimensions and hefty weight. The Vivo Heavy Duty Ultrawide Monitor Tension Arm solves that issue by offering the strength and stability needed for today’s largest displays—and right now, it’s available at one of the lowest prices we’ve seen. Capable of supporting monitors up to 49 inches and 44 pounds, this arm is built to handle models like Samsung’s Odyssey G9, the Asus ROG Strix XG49VQ, or virtually any other big-screen ultrawide you…
