TL;DR: Save $180 on lifetime access to Microsoft Office apps — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more included. If you’re subscribed to Microsoft 365, you’re overpaying—period. Instead of renting your productivity apps at a whopping $84/year for the rest of your life, you could just buy them outright. Ever heard of a Microsoft Office lifetime license?

You’ve probably already noticed that smartphones hear a lot more than their manufacturers claim they do. Have you ever discussed a new tech product with a colleague only to start seeing ads for that product in apps like Instagram and Facebook? It’s spooky when it happens. And while people have shared anecdotes like this over the past several years, no one has ever really proven that phones eavesdrop on us like that. Phones aren’t allowed to eavesdrop on us like that… right? Well, journalists from 404 Media recently found evidence that companies like Amazon and Google do listen in on everythin ..read more

System builders in the small form factor (SFF) niche absolutely love cramming the most powerful parts into the smallest case possible, and making it look good in the process. But desktop manufacturers seem to have a lower limit on these designs. One boutique builder seems to have busted through it, though. The MegaMini G1 is… well, it’s just the cutest lil guy. We’ve seen preliminary designs for the MegaMini G1 a few times this year, including at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress. But now the manufacturers — mini PC specialist Geekom and general electronics brand Tecno — are ready to start se ..read more

Bluetooth is everywhere now. First released in 1998, Bluetooth has made its way into nearly every modern gadget, including phones, laptops, speakers, mice, keyboards, gaming controllers… Which explains why development is slow and methodical.

Fortunately, Bluetooth 6.0 is now just around the corner, and it looks like it’s going to be a good one with some ingenious features. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) recently shared some details ab ..read more

The chasm between PC and console gaming has slimmed down in recent years to nothing more than a fine line, and even that line is disappearing. Gaming laptops, for example, are console-like in many ways. And it’s not just the games that have been crossing over between platforms — many accessories have been interchangeable for years. Keyboards on consoles, controllers on PCs, headsets on everything. It’s a great time to be a gamer, that’s for sure.

Had Benjamin Franklin been alive today he may well have added “bloatware” to his famous quote: “But, in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.” The fact is, if you buy a Windows PC or laptop it’s going to come with a bunch of annoying apps that have very little actual benefit to you but provide the apps’ vendors a nice little income stream when hapless users sign up. I’m all too aware of this scourge. I’ve got a heap of bloatware on my new gaming laptop and I’m spitting chips about it! Bloatware is another way companies remove my agency to decide on things myself… Shouldn’t I be ..read more
