This affordable package features 14 e-books that prepare readers for many industry certifications from CompTIA, AWS, Cisco, Microsoft, and Google. Y
Love ’em or hate ’em, you can’t deny that Epic brings the goodies to the PC gaming market. The company’s tautological “Epic MEGA Sale” starts today, discounting over 1600 titles. But that’s not the big news: The Epic Games Store is still giving away new games every Thursday, and this week none other than Borderlands 3 is in the spotlight.
The sequel to the well-received Borderlands 2 (we don’t talk about Bruno Pre-Sequel) came out in late 201

If you download the latest Windows 11 Insider build, you may get to try out Microsoft’s retro future: widgets on the desktop. Specifically, you’ll have a shot at Windows 11 planting a search box right on your desktop.
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25120 for the Dev Channel exposes what Microsoft has referred to as conceptual ideas, or using the Dev Channel release as a test bench for ideas that may never make it to the release version of Windows. That’s nothing new. It
There’s just no substitute for Microsoft Office and today you can get it plus some VPN coverage at an excellent price. Newegg is selling a year of Microsoft 365 personal and a year of NordVPN for $42. That’s $35 off the MSRP for this combo deal and far better than the $130 you’d pay for buying these services separately.

But that release was from the AMD’s beefier H-class processors—chips with a TDP of 35W or higher, intended for gaming, content creation, and other heavy production tasks. Now comes the next round of laptop CPUs, those meant
Framework made headlines last year by offering innovation in a seldom-seen way for laptops: making them easy to upgrade and repair with modular hardware designs. The DIY angle proved a hit, and it has a small but growing base of fans and customers. Today the company is announcing the next generation of its hardware, most notably including upgrades to the latest 12th-gen Intel processors. Framework
