For a limited time, P.C. Richard & Son and Woot (opens in new tab) have taken $50 off the list price — reducing the AirPods Pro to just $199. (opens in new tab) More: Best wireless earbudsBest noise-cancelling headphonesApple AirPods Pro review There’s a reason we called the AirPods Pro “the complete package.” Pairing is a cinch thanks to Apple’s H1 chip, the fit is extremely comfortable, the microphones pick up your voice during calls loud and clear, and balanced audio sounds great across music and podcasts — uninterrupted by the outside world because of the decent noise cancellation....
The ThinkPad 11e is similar to Lenovo’s other ThinkPads: It has a raven black chassis with the company’s logo displayed on the lid’s corner. The hybrid can bend back up to 360 degrees, allowing it to work in a traditional laptop, stand, tent, or tablet mode. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view point), it has a touchpad, but not a TrackPoint pointing stick. In terms of power, the ThinkPad 11e packs a 1....
The laptop would fail the test, I’m told, if any observable dust was deposited in the unit. And the test spends up to 8 hours coating the Rugged notebook in dust. This and many other tests based on the Mil-Spec 810G standards are performed at this facility, the second version of Dell’s rugged testing space. My tour was led by Anthony Bundrant, an engineer who’s been working for Dell since 2012, when Dell acquired the ruggedized-hardware firm Augmentix, where he worked for years prior....

The Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 has a sleek design, is easily configurable and is backed by clean software and a virtual store. It is a bit expensive, at $150, and I wish the text fit better on the LCD keys. Overall, the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 is an awesome device for streamers and even non-streamers to simplify their audio and video setup. (If you’re looking for a great streaming laptop, check out our best gaming laptops page)....

And since I’ll be working from home for the foreseeable future, it’s the perfect time to get my office set up. The first major piece is the Fully Jarvis Bamboo Standing desk (opens in new tab)(reviewed at $1,029, starting at $549). A combination of circuitry and wood, the Jarvis is a great example of form meeting function. With a quick touch of a button, the desk quickly rises, taking you from a potentially unhealthy sedentary lifestyle to an energized standing position....
That ended today with the oft-reliable leaker Evan Blass revealing a number of renders on 91Mobiles that allegedly show off the design for both the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Galaxy Watch 5 Pro — what happened to Classic? That’s right, the “Classic” branding is going the way of “New Coke” (kids, ask your parents) and will give way to the ever-popular “Pro” suffix for the premium Galaxy Watch 5 model....

However, Gigabyte is now trying to spread the PC gaming love to more people with its two newest gaming laptops, the Sabre 15 and Sabre 17. Starting at $1,299, these affordable notebooks will be launching just around the time you’re sending the kiddies back to school.

According to an experimental flag spotted last week, in addition to PIN numbers, Google will allow desktop users to verify their permission status by using biometric authentication. Following up on this cool new feature, Google will also deploy biometric authentication as a new security gatekeeper for filling out or revising form data, according to Chrome Unboxed. For example, before changing your credit card details, you’ll be prompted to use your laptop’s fingerprint reader....
Cookie alternatives Earlier this year, Google introduced a new interest-based advertising tool to help phase out third-party cookies. Called “Topics”, browsers will pick select topics based on your recent browsing history on the device you’re using, delivering more general ads rather than specific ones. These topics could include anything from fitness to rock music. What’s more, Topics are kept for only three weeks and old topics are then deleted. “When you visit a participating site, Topics picks just three topics, one topic from each of the past three weeks, to share with the site and its advertising partners,” the post explains....
Declaring to boast “up to 24 hours” of battery, that’s quite a bold claim from a smartwatch fitted with a 294mAh battery capacity. Sure, the Cortex M33 co-processor is there to help out with power efficiency, but a full day? I’m intrigued. But I know to take a company’s claims with a pinch of salt. “Maybe it’s not a full 24 hours,” I told myself, “but it must be relatively close, right?...
Google Pixel owners are the only people getting a reprieve; they continue to have unlimited free storage of photos and videos at “high-quality” for the life of their devices.

There are no viable free alternatives, but numerous excellent and affordable paid options exist, some of which you may already be paying for without realizing....
Reardon and Egelman reported (via Endgadget) their findings to federal regulators and Google, which led to the company removing the apps from the Play Store. It’s been reported that Measurement Systems is the company responsible for the code and is linked to defense contractors that provide cyber-intelligence to US national security agencies. Best antivirus apps in 2022Best password managers in 2022Best phone deals in 2022 We want to believe that such a connection is harmless, but Measurement Systems has supposedly paid developers to add their wares to SDKs (development kits) to many different apps in exchange for detailed user information and payment....
Called Password Checkup, the extension is available now, although Google warns that it’s still a work in progress. Password Checkup compares the credentials you input into any website against a database of four billion known compromised credential sets and lets you know if your username-password combo is no longer good. So if you sign into Acme.com with the username “roadrunner@gmail.com” and the password “BeepBeep”, Password Checkup will send an encrypted version of those credentials over to its database....
That’s the amount of time since we had a proper Gran Turismo game. GT Sport was good and all, but it wasn’t a fully-fledged series entry — just a really good multiplayer racer with an esports focus. With GT7, Polyphony is making up for lost time with a massive single player campaign, combined with one of the most thoroughly researched and realistic racing simulators, and with the online modes of GT Sport, to make one of the most complete motorsport packages of the last decade....
