For years, printers have been the butt of jokes in the tech world, with many considering them outdated in a digital-first era. Yet, when you actually need to print something—be it a shipping label, travel itinerary, or even a school assignment—they remain indispensable. Instead of relying on local print shops or office supply stores, many people are finding it far more convenient to keep a simple, affordable printer at home. The Brother HL-L2420DW, a highly regarded black-and-white laser printer, fits that need perfectly—and today, it’s available for just $69.99, one of the best deals currently on the market. What makes…

Nvidia is transforming the cloud gaming landscape once again with a sweeping set of upgrades to its GeForce Now Ultimate tier, headlined by the integration of new RTX 5080-powered servers. Alongside this, the company is debuting cinematic visual enhancements and an “install to play” system that instantly prepares new games for streaming by preloading them directly to the cloud. These improvements directly target the two biggest concerns surrounding cloud gaming—performance and responsiveness—bringing GeForce Now closer than ever to replicating the experience of a high-end gaming PC. Announced at Gamescom, these advancements reaffirm Nvidia’s ambition to make premium-quality gaming widely accessible…

Excel is getting a major upgrade with the introduction of a dedicated Copilot function, turning Microsoft’s AI assistant into something that can be written directly into a spreadsheet formula. Up until now, Copilot in Excel has largely been a separate tool — accessed via a button or sidebar — that offered help with formulas or provided explanations. The new =COPILOT() function changes that dynamic completely, making Copilot behave like any other Excel command, where prompts and data ranges can be combined for more powerful results. This is particularly exciting for advanced users who rely on formula-based workflows and want to…

NordVPN is preparing to shut down its Meshnet feature, ending support on December 1, 2025. After that date, the tool and all related services will no longer be available, though the rest of NordVPN’s offerings will remain unaffected. The decision closes the chapter on a feature that had only been around since 2022, designed to help users securely connect devices as if they were on the same local network. Meshnet was unique in combining encrypted file sharing with broader network functions, providing a rare mix of practicality and entertainment for its users. In a statement on its official blog, NordVPN…

The countdown to the end of Windows 10 support has entered its final two months, and frustration among users is mounting. In Southern California, one user has escalated that frustration into a lawsuit against Microsoft. According to a news report, plaintiff Lawrence Klein contends that the company’s decision to retire Windows 10 now is unreasonable, particularly since Windows 11 adoption remains comparatively low. Klein accuses Microsoft of attempting to force hardware upgrades and steer customers toward new products, all while consolidating its position in the growing generative AI industry. Klein owns two laptops still running Windows 10 and says his…

Starting at the end of January 2026, Microsoft will permanently remove access to several key features in older versions of Office 365 apps, forcing a significant update requirement for users who want to keep using them. The changes affect Transcription and Dictation—exclusive to Word—and the Read Aloud feature, which is available across Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and OneNote. This shift comes as part of a backend service upgrade, and for the first time, Microsoft is enforcing an update as a prerequisite to retain functionality. The company has specified that users must be running at least version 16.0.18827.20202 of Office 365 before…

Google is expanding the AI capabilities of its popular Google Forms platform, building on the features it introduced earlier this summer. The company announced that its Gemini AI will now play a more active role in helping users create surveys by suggesting new questions and potential answer options. This enhancement aims to make survey creation faster and more intuitive, particularly for users who want to ensure their forms are comprehensive and engaging. Once a user creates a survey and adds at least two questions, a new button will appear beneath their existing questions. By clicking it, Gemini will instantly generate…

If you’ve been debating whether to get ESPN’s new streaming service or Fox One, you may not have to choose — but it will cost you. On October 2, ESPN Ultimate and Fox One will launch as a $40-a-month bundle, saving $10 versus subscribing separately. The timing is tight: both services arrive individually on August 21. ESPN Ultimate alone runs $30 per month and offers the company’s full sports slate — ESPN’s linear channels, ESPN+, ESPN3, and conference-specific streams like SECN+ and ACCNX. Fox One, at $20 per month, includes Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, plus Fox News, Fox Business, Fox…

The era of “You’ve Got Mail” is taking another step toward extinction. AOL — the company that introduced millions of people to the internet and cemented the sound of a dial-up modem in popular culture — will shut down its dial-up services at the end of September. Along with it go the AOL Dialer and AOL Shield software, remnants of a slower but formative digital age. For many, AOL was the internet. In the ’90s and early 2000s, its chat rooms, email alerts, and connection tones were as familiar as a landline ring. But broadband — first through DSL and…

Intel is in trouble. Layoffs have cut deep, advanced chip projects face uncertainty, and there’s even talk of the company abandoning manufacturing altogether if it can’t secure buyers for its upcoming 14A process. In the middle of this storm, former Intel CEO Craig Barrett has a rescue plan — one that bypasses corporate restructuring and instead calls for an unprecedented alliance between Intel and its customers. Writing in Fortune, Barrett urged U.S. tech heavyweights like Nvidia, Apple, and Google to collectively invest $40 billion into Intel in exchange for equity stakes and guaranteed access to its chips. The goal: to…
