Microsoft recently announced important new features relating to Windows 11. As usual, these will be first introduced to Windows 11 Insiders, then eventually to everyone else. One important change is a new laptop battery indicator that visualizes the charge level with new symbols.
This change was actually supposed to be implemented last month, but the releas


Scammers might be criminal scum, but you can’t deny that they’re always trying to innovate. With automation and generative text now much easier, we seem to be experiencing a new flood of phishing attempts. The latest one is particularly effective for car owners: fake parking tickets.

The tiny designs, the affordable prices, the sheer power under the hood — these are all reasons to love mini PCs. And they’re even better when they’re on sale, like this Acemagician S3A mini PC that’s down to $299 on Amazon for Prime members. (Don’t have Prime? No worries

Asus debuts air purifying IPS monitors.

Every new gadget you buy comes at a cost to your wallet, but there’s a hefty environmental price to pay as well. Every phone and laptop out there is a non-compostable mass of metal and plastic, and every new generation of them means more rare earth metals pulled out of the ground. Then there’s the human labor required to put them together, and the water and fuel used in manufacturing and shipping. It all adds up, but you can help bring that cost down a bit by recycling your old devices.
