If you’ve been waiting for the right time to upgrade your portable storage, this is it: the Samsung T7 1TB portable SSD is now just $80, down 27% from its regular price. That’s the lowest it’s been this year, and it’s a fantastic value for a drive that’s both incredibly fast and highly versatile. Offering transfer speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s, the T7 makes quick work of moving massive files—whether you’re editing 4K video, managing extensive photo libraries, or offloading large game installations. Its USB Type-C interface ensures broad compatibility, from PCs and consoles to cameras capable of recording…
Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update is causing fresh problems for users, particularly those involved in streaming and broadcasting, in what has become an increasingly common pattern for the operating system. The cumulative update KB5063878, which installs build 26100.4946, is triggering significant performance issues in software that captures and transmits live PC content. Applications such as Open Broadcast Software (OBS) and NDI Tools are experiencing intense stuttering, lag, and degraded audio and video quality—problems severe enough that Microsoft itself has issued a warning on its official update tracker. This bug does not appear to impact streaming platforms like Netflix or YouTube,…
An individual using the handle “Chucky_BF” is reportedly selling what they claim to be a database of 15.8 million PayPal accounts for the surprisingly low price of $750. The file, which is said to be 1.1GB in size, allegedly contains plaintext email addresses and passwords from a wide range of domains, including Gmail, Yahoo!, and Hotmail. Screenshots of the sale have surfaced on social media, though experts caution that the legitimacy of the data has not been independently verified. According to renowned cybersecurity researcher Troy Hunt, the data almost certainly did not originate from PayPal itself, as the company does…
Microsoft is trialing “Journeys,” a new AI feature for its Edge browser that leverages artificial intelligence to organize and summarize users’ browsing histories, according to Windows Latest. Journeys transforms past sessions into interactive cards and AI-generated summaries, making it easier to revisit projects, research topics, or ongoing tasks without manually retracing previous searches. Despite its appeal, the feature isn’t freely available—users must subscribe to Copilot Pro for $20 per month, a plan that also integrates advanced AI functionality into Microsoft applications like Word, PowerPoint, Paint, and Notepad. The technical foundation of Journeys is designed to address privacy concerns, as Microsoft…
Google’s portrayal of its Gemini AI as an environmentally efficient tool is coming under fire after experts challenged the company’s claim that each query consumes only “five drops of water.” The Verge reports that Shaolei Ren, a University of California Riverside researcher and co-author of Making AI Less “Thirsty”, disputes Google’s narrow definition of water usage. Ren’s research previously estimated that training OpenAI’s GPT-3 model used 700,000 liters of water and that a typical ChatGPT session might consume nearly a pint—figures far higher than Google’s claim. Critics argue that Google’s estimate excludes the water consumed by the power plants supplying…

Biwin, a Chinese company known for its storage innovations, has revealed its new Mini SSD format—also called “1517”—which is designed to combine incredible speed with an impressively compact footprint. Roughly the size of a SIM card at 15mm by 17mm and only 1.4mm thick, the Mini SSD is just slightly bigger than a microSD card but boasts data transfer capabilities more comparable to high-performance internal drives, reaching up to 3,700 MB/s read and 3,400 MB/s write speeds through a PCIe 4×2 interface. This leap in storage technology could redefine how small devices handle large amounts of data, especially in applications…
For years, Microsoft Store users had the choice of whether or not to allow apps and games to update automatically, with the option to disable updates entirely if they preferred. That freedom has now been curtailed. According to Deskmodder, as reported by PCMag, Microsoft has quietly changed Store settings so that the most you can do is delay updates for up to five weeks. Once that period is up, Windows Update will install the latest versions automatically, regardless of your preference. On one level, the shift makes sense. Automatic updates prevent outdated apps from introducing vulnerabilities into the system, ensuring…
If you’ve been searching for a dependable wireless gaming mouse that combines performance, comfort, and affordability, the Logitech G305 Lightspeed just became one of the best buys on the market. Amazon has slashed the price to $30, a huge drop from its original $50, making this one of the best deals currently available in gaming peripherals. Even better, it comes in multiple eye-catching colors like Black, White, Blue, and Mint, while the Lilac model is also discounted to $40 for those who prefer something a little more unique. Performance-wise, the G305 Lightspeed doesn’t compromise despite its budget price. Featuring Logitech’s…
Arm-based Windows laptops running Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips are no longer niche devices, and they’ve carved out a space for users who want long-lasting, efficient machines without needing the bulk or noise of traditional Intel or AMD laptops. While they excel at basic computing and battery endurance, their biggest drawback has consistently been pricing—these laptops tend to cost as much as premium ultrabooks while offering less raw horsepower. Dell’s latest deal turns that around, bringing one of its Snapdragon-powered laptops down to just $574.99, a hefty discount of more than $400 compared to its usual asking price. That makes this machine…
