I feel like I’ve been spotting this Acer Nitro gaming monitor, or similar models, on sale quite often lately, but that doesn’t make this deal any less enticing. Newegg is currently selling the 27-inch IPS monitor featuring a 1440p resolution and an impressive 180Hz refresh rate for only $160—a fantastic $110 off its usual price. Let me reiterate: if you can choose, always go for an IPS panel instead of a VA panel. The enhanced color accuracy is perfect for tasks like photo editing (as I did for this article), and then you can seamlessly switch to gaming (which, trust…

According to Neowin, the popular ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin Lite has been removed from the official Firefox add-on marketplace due to a contentious situation that has developed between its developer, Raymond Hill, and Mozilla. The issue began in early September when Mozilla unexpectedly flagged all versions of uBlock Origin Lite for breaching Firefox policies. The add-on faced accusations of collecting user data and raising privacy concerns—an issue that is particularly significant for Firefox users. In defense of his extension, Hill remarked, “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even a basic understanding of JavaScript to see the…

Getting classic games up and running on your PC has become easier than ever, but that “ease” can vary, particularly with a specific subset of classic titles. Many DOS-era games (we’re talking the 1980s, for the uninitiated) can go haywire on hardware that’s faster than a basic watch. To counter this, one builder took a bold step by creating an ITX motherboard capable of running DOS games natively. The ITX Llama is a unique DIY project that integrates vintage PC hardware into a mini-ITX design, making it compatible with any contemporary desktop case. Born out of a passion project on…

However, with this 2-in-1 flash drive that features both USB-C and USB-A connectors, you can eliminate that hassle. The 1TB version is currently on sale for just $80 on Amazon, down from its standard price of $110—making for a substantial 27% savings.

Laptop deals are plentiful, but it’s uncommon to see a budget-friendly model drop to an even lower price. Best Buy is currently running a fantastic offer on the Asus Vivobook. This 14-inch Windows 11 laptop, equipped with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD, is available for just $220, which is nearly half off! (You can also purchase it through eBay via Best Buy’s official account.) I usually wouldn’t recommend running Windows 11 on a laptop with only 8GB of DDR4 memory, and the 128GB storage may seem limited. However, the real advantage of this laptop lies in its upgradeability.…

The alarming re-emergence of dangerous social media trends has once again made headlines, with the “chroming” challenge at the forefront. This reckless activity entails inhaling products such as nail polish remover, deodorants, adhesives, paint thinners, and other household cleaners while live-streaming the act on TikTok. The main goal of chroming? To achieve a temporary state of chemical intoxication that can be captured on video, which participants then post to gain likes and increase their online visibility in what seems like a contest. While some TikTok users manage to garner millions of views through this reckless behavior, the inherent risks associated…

Microsoft has officially ended the production of the HoloLens 2, signaling a decisive break from its foray into augmented reality and potentially the metaverse itself. A Microsoft representative informed UploadVR that while the HoloLens 2 will receive security updates until late 2027, all support will terminate in 2028. This move aligns with Microsoft’s broader strategy, as the company discontinues support for Windows Mixed Reality devices in the Windows 11 2024 Update that recently began rolling out. Users with Windows Mixed Reality headsets are warned to avoid updating to the 2024 feature release if they wish to continue using their devices…

Over the past few years, Microsoft has been steadily migrating features from the Windows Control Panel to the more modern “Settings” interface. Nonetheless, some functionalities are still only available through the Control Panel. To access the Control Panel, you can type “control” in the taskbar search box and select it from the results. However, a more efficient approach is to integrate a link to the Control Panel into your desktop’s context menu. Follow these steps to accomplish this through the Registry Editor: Open Registry Editor: Type “regedit” in the taskbar search field and click on the “Registry Editor” option. Navigate…
