Got tech junk? Here’s how to recycle or sell it on Earth Day

On Friday, April 22, UBreakiFix stores will hold a one-day recycling event for Earth Day. That means it’s a fine time to clear out any old electronics that you can’t easily sell for cash.

UBreakiFix’s eligible device list includes DVD players, cables, keyboards, mouses, and printers, most of which will have little to no value on tech buyback sites. You can find nearby UBreakiFix stores by scrolling down to the “Find your store” section on this page.

Google combats dodgy browser add-ons with new Chrome badges

Just like in the real world, computer security requires constant vigilance. Even so, a lot of users might not realize that downloadable browser extensions can be yet another vector for malware. After an embarrassing string of incidents wherein Chrome extensions have been found to contain something nasty (sometimes after being sold to a third party), Google is adding some tools to the official Chrome Web Store repository to help users download with confidence.

As of yesterday, the Chrome We

Load up that new PC with Windows 10 Home for just $50

If you’re building a new PC and dreading the pricey cost of a new Windows license, we’ve got a deal for you. The PCWorld Software Store is selling Windows 10 Home for $50. That’s $90 cheaper than the usual price for Windows 10 and 11 Home.

Why get Windows 10 in the age of Windows 11? For starters, you can upgrade to Windows 11 for free after the installation if you want to. Besides, there are many people (like our Windows reviewer) who aren’t fans of the changes in W

Are GPU prices really falling? You bet! EVGA’s RTX 3050 is back down to $250

Another flash of light appears on the horizon as our graphics card pricing nightmare slowly wanes. Right now, Evga is selling its GeForce RTX 3050 XC at the MSRP of $250. That’s excellent, as this card costs about $400 on eBay.

We reviewed the RTX 3050 in January and gave it 4 out of 5 stars. It’s a good budget graphics card. We said the card “delivers great 1080p gaming performance with modern features.” As for the MSRP, the RTX 3050 was priced at $300, which was fa

The best free VPN for Chrome

If you have a Chromebook or don’t want yet another program on your Windows desktop there is an alternative to a full VPN: a Chrome extension. Many people are looking for a VPN solely to use with their web browser anyway. So why bother with the full program? With an extension you can have your browser appear as if it’s somewhere else, while the rest of your desktop programs use the local IP address.

Even better, depending on your needs, you can get this service for free. There a

If you want to spend a little less on a deluxe robot vacuum, today is the day. Amazon is selling the iRobot Roomba S9+ a self-emptying station and the iRobot Braava Jet m6 bundle for $999. That’s $250 off of the most recent price for this bundle.

‘Glorious’ PC gaming brand drops that bad joke it’s been clinging to for years

Making a snide reference to one of history’s most famous genocidal regimes is distasteful even for an irreverent comedy web series. But that’s kind of the point: pretty much every episode of the much-loved Zero Punctuation review show contains at least one joke we couldn’t reprint in PCWorld. Basing an entire company around said joke isn’t just distasteful, it’s actively damaging to a brand. And yet the “Glorious PC Gaming Race” did just that since its
