So the 3.5mm audio jack on your laptop has given up the ghost, and getting it fixed is too much of a pain. (This is the conclusion you’ve reluctantly come to after troubleshooting the audio issues on your PC.) No problem—you can easily fix this issue with a simple accessory.

The Microsoft Store is the butt of many a joke in the Windows community, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth downloading on it. Today Microsoft is honoring the best of the best applications you can get in the Store, and honestly, they’re pretty dang good! The App Awards are worth a quick look if you’re hunting for some high-quality tools to add to your PC.
Some of the choices are a bit rote — does anyone really need a dedicated app to watch Disney+? &m
There’s nothing a like a well-priced convertible laptop to start off a short week. Right now, Walmart is selling the 14-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i for $279. That’s $260 off the MSRP and a good price for a convertible laptop with a touchscreen.

Once installed, it replaces your browser’s regular new tab page with one that’s prettier, more customizable, and even a litt
