Bypassing outrageous limits in Windows 11’s new video editing app isn’t cheap

Microsoft has never been shy about asking its customers for money — the $9.99 per month price for Microsoft 365 Family is proof of that. But you need to pay more, far more, than that to use Microsoft’s new video editing app, Clipchamp, in the way you’d expect.

Clipchamp is being added to the stable of Windows apps as part of a new update this week. Though ostensibly for members of Microsoft’s Windows Insider program, Clipchamp is an app that you can download from the

The best wireless earbuds: Free yourself from the tyranny of cords

One of the best advances in earbuds has been the outright elimination of cables in true wireless earbuds—or at least, the minimization of them to just a short one in other wireless earbuds. Another is good active noise cancelling, which makes wireless earbuds incredibly useful for travel.

Apple’s AirPods are probably the best known set of wireless earbuds, but plenty of other great pairs exist, too. It can make deciding on a set harder, especially since wireless earbuds vary wid

Why can’t Apple level with us about the M1 Ultra’s performance?

Apple’s new M1 Ultra will be an impressive processor.

There’s no doubt of that since the M1 Ultra is, well, pretty much two impressive M1 Max chips joined at the hip. That makes it a 20-core (16 performance, 4 efficiency) processor, plus a 64-core GPU and a nutty 800GB of memory bandwidth thanks to its unified LPDDR5/6400 memory for all cores.

But even with all those impressive specs and the M1’s known pedigree, it’s yet again maddening to understand why Apple wo

Marketing videos are easier to navigate and more effective with VidTags

Books have chapters to make information easier to find. But video doesn’t offer that luxury. You either have to watch the whole thing or move the slider and hope you land on the part you’re looking for. Which is why VidTags was created and why, if you engage in video marketing, it’s a must-have.

VidTags is an AI-powered platform that puts chapter stops into your video and audio files, thereby rendering specific components easier to find. It transcribes

Why the biggest laptop vendors are ignoring Microsoft’s Pluton security tech

Two of the biggest laptop vendors have chosen to pass over Microsoft’s blossoming vision for PC chip security, Pluton. But the reason why may be less complex than it appears: Both companies are apparently sticking with an established relationship with Intel’s vPro technology, instead.

The Register reported this week that both Dell and Lenovo planned to skip Microsoft’s Pluton technology in its commercial PCs, which Microsoft introduced two years ago as a better way of inte

You can now install Windows on Valve’s Steam Deck

Though the Steam Deck runs a highly-customized version of Valve’s Linux-based SteamOS, and uses it to get some rather amazing gaming performance out of its AMD hardware, the gadget is more than capable of running other operating systems. Naturally, people have wanted to install Windows on the Steam Deck ever since the portable PC’s announcement, and today Valve has officially released drivers for its customized components, making it pretty close to a plug-and-play experience.

Finally! File Explorer tabs found hiding in new Windows 11 preview

Wouldn’t it be great if File Explorer could show you different folders in the same window, using the tab system we all know and love from our favorite browsers? Well, it can. All you have to do is ditch Microsoft’s standard file manager for a third-party alternative, like you already ditched Internet Explorer a decade or two ago. But as it’s done with Edge, Microsoft isn’t resting on its laurels with its home-grown file management program. The latest Windows 11 preview

Save $180 on this massive 16TB external hard drive

Right now, Amazon is making it cheaper to get a ridiculous amount of storage. The online retailer is selling a WD Elements 16TB external hard drive for $270. That’s down from a more recent price of $300.

This is a desktop hard drive, which means it requires its own power source instead of drawing power from a USB port. It’s also bigger than your average portable pocket drive.

WD doesn’t include a lot of extras with this drive, which might be a good thing for some folks
