For a limited time, this Dell G15 Gaming Laptop with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti is $685 at Dell (opens in new tab). That’s a massive $498 off this laptop’s standard retail price of $1,184. We’ve seen plenty of excellent offers at Dell already this year, and this one definitely qualifies as one of the best cheap laptop deals currently available. The Nvidia GeForce TX 3050 is Nvidia’s entry-level graphics card, and it doesn’t boast the graphical power of its beefier siblings the GeForce RTX 3080 or GeForce RTX 3090....

This popularity is a peculiar case because it’s hard to find where its supporters are, except for, you know, sitting in front of their TVs and streaming devices watching the limited series. And this may mean Echoes is proving a point about how the proverbial vocal minority isn’t strong enough to take down a series people won’t put down. But the angry audience isn’t alone, as Echoes currently (as of August 29) has a 29% score on Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab)....

With a mini air compressor, the $70 Everlit Roadside Kit can help get you to a gas station to get that slowly leaking tire fixed, but falls short by not including essential items like a shovel, fire extinguisher and reflective vest. Still, it offers enough to earn a place on our list of the best automotive emergency car kits. Packed in a long narrow bag, the Everlit Roadside Assistance Kit measures 17....

Putting aside the issue of whether people actually want Facebook on their wrist as well as their phones, the company has a mixed record when it comes to hardware. The Oculus Quest 2 is deservedly a runaway success, but Facebook Portal less so. And while few will remember the HTC ChaCha (opens in new tab) — a smartphone with a dedicated Facebook button — those that do will recall that it hardly set the world alight....

Both devices also offer Alexa support, for hands-free control and access to your smart home system. Meanwhile The Fire TV Strick 4K Max also has support for Wi-Fi 6, ensuring it’ll be one of the fastest streaming devices for a good few years yet.

There are a few things that I didn’t like about the Flexispot, which you can read about in the rest of this review, but those concerns are outweighed by its price. That’s why it makes the list as one of the best standing desks. Flexispot EC1 review: Price and availability The starting price for the Flexispot EC1 Standard Standing Desk (opens in new tab) is $309, but as of this writing, it was marked down to $219....

The beta update is designed to solve the hassle of typing on the best foldable phones, splitting the keyboard in half and placing the keys on either side of the screen, near where the thumbs rest naturally if they’re gripping the device. It’s a useful change that should make it much easier to type on the huge displays found on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Microsoft Surface Duo 2 — although it’s worth pointing out that Samsung already has a keyboard app that offers a split screen feature for its Fold lineup....

However, while artists are staging mass protests over AI-generated images appearing on the site ArtStation, I’m more concerned about the implications AI will have on cybersecurity. Sure, automated tools that make the jobs of cybercriminals even easier already exist but imagine if they could launch coordinated campaigns and sophisticated cyberattacks with the push of a button or even worse — if an AI could carry out attacks on its own like Skynet....

However, as more and more purchases were made, that meant an increase in returns, a huge hassle for retailers considering supply chain issues and higher shipping costs. In 2021, the online return rate increased to 20.8%. As the holidays come around, more gifts purchased also equals more returns. 18% of merchandise sold is expected to be returned this holiday season. More and more businesses are losing their ability to sustain their free return policies, as rising costs from inflation impact their margins....

Not the sort of response normally solicited by a fairly small electric SUV, but this is no ordinary car. Not least in the lime green paintwork of my review car, of which only two resided in the U.K. at that time. Genesis is the luxury brand of the Hyundai Group. So while the company is likely new to almost everyone outside of its South Korea, it isn’t launching into the market with the GV60, its first electric car, from a standing start....

This is the latest in a series of nigh-monthly updates for Chrome, which tend to be minor given their frequent cadence. The last major update gave Google Chrome a powerful upgrade for searching images that tapped into AI to power a new “search with Google Lens” feature. But the new Chrome 104 update, which was released on August 2, brings a host of noteworthy changes. This includes comprehensive screen sharing tools, an experiment in faster page loading, UI changes for Chromebooks and security fixes....

Muting tabs on Google Chrome isn’t new or unheard of. However, the process isn’t exactly as quick as some users would hope it could be. As it stands, when an annoying ad pops up in one of your tabs, you need to navigate your mouse to the tab that you want to mute, right click and select “mute site.” Fortunately, Google is reportedly testing a way to allow users to mute Chrome tabs with a single click....

When the Google Pixel 6a was officially shown off yesterday, there was only one question on my mind: where is it being sold? While the Google I/O presentation left this query hanging, the good news is that the Pixel 6a is being shipped to a much wider selection of countries than the Pixel 5a was. In a disappointing move last year, Google decided to sell the Pixel 5a only in Japan and the United States....

A new Google Pixel 6a leak has given us a big handful of specs to chew over, and it looks like Google’s going to make some welcome changes. Coming from Shadow_leak (opens in new tab) (via TechRadar (opens in new tab)), it looks like the Pixel 6a’s going to be taking several features from the Pixel 6 as well as adapting some of the Google Pixel 5a’s parts and adding some new components, too....

As you’ll see in our Pixel 5 review, that handset marked the beginning of Google’s efforts to price its flagship phones more competitively with rival handsets, though that came at the expense of processing power. Still, the phone maker’s commitment to a great camera experience remained, as the Pixel 5 benefitted from the addition of an ultrawide angle lens. Our Pixel 7 review shows a lot has changed in just a couple of years....

Now, thanks to the developer and perpetual thorn in Google’s side Kuba Wojciechowski (opens in new tab), things make a lot more sense. The long and short of it? The Pixel 7a is set for a series of big upgrades, but not quite the Pixel 7 Pro-eclipsing camera improvements that the original code dive suggested. While seemingly confirming the original report’s findings that the codename Lynx referred to the Pixel 7a and not an Ultra or Mini model, Wojciechowski then went on to disappoint those hoping that the new ‘a’ model might outperform the Pro for photography....

The Google Pixel Fold has had an on-again, off-again presence in the smartphone rumor mill, with the current consensus being that the long-rumored foldable phone from Google is very much on again. In fact, a pretty well-connected source just dropped some interesting tidbits about the displays likely to be included in the Pixel Fold. It sounds like Google’s stab at a foldable will draw on two very different devices for inspiration....

From various official and unofficial quick looks at Google’s upcoming smartwatch, the narrative around the Pixel Watch’s screen bezels has had plenty of twists and turns. One advert seemingly from Google itself indicated that the bezels are slimmer than we first thought and the display takes up more of that round watch face than first meets the eye. But then other leaked images of premature unboxings, have shown that the Watch’s bezels are indeed rather chunky....

The update will start rolling out for the Pixel 4 and up starting today. Here’s what’s new in this update. Pocket Operator Pocket Operator is a nifty new feature that lets you create music using everyday sounds. You can layer sounds over video effects to create a unique file for sharing with your friends and followers. Pocket Operator also lets you add new beats and patterns to further emphasize your creation....

A year later, Wordle is in a very different place. It’s now owned by the New York Times, and though we don’t know exactly how many people play it daily, it’s probably in the millions. It’s also spawned an entire industry of Wordle clones and alternatives, some of which are almost as essential as the original. It’s easy to see why; Wordle is a brilliant antidote to an increasingly difficult year decade, offering one slightly challenging puzzle a day with no time limit beyond the need to complete it by midnight, simple gameplay mechanics and an in-built sharing mechanism that made it a truly social experience....
