Graphics cards seem to get all the attention, often overshadowing a vital component of your PC—the motherboard. We’re inundated with choice. Even just choosing the platform to build on—Intel or AMD—and your desired form factor—ITX, M-ATX, or ATX—takes careful thought. (See our 5 tips for choosing a motherboard or, if the shoe fits, our guide to picking a board for a Intel 12th-gen CPU for some useful pointers.)
But then you have the whole other matter of
Keeping sensitive images or video on your Android smartphone? You should consider protecting them from prying eyes, whether your collection is comprised of makeshift scans of tax documentation, vaccination records, or personal videos.
A secured folder requires additional verification—typically a PIN or biometric data like a fingerprint—to gain access. On Samsung phones, this feature is known as Secure Folder. On Pixels and select other Android phones, you can use Google Photos&r
We created emails to make communication more productive. However, we receive so much of them that it seems like we’re anything but. Mailbird offers a breath of fresh air when organizing your inbox (or inboxes). That’s especially the case this week since you can get a lifetime subscription for half price.
Mailbird, which we featured previously, is a Windows-compatible software that takes all the different apps and tools you use to manage your digital life and

If you conduct business online, chances are good that you market your company on a growing number of social media channels. Which is great for building an audience, but not so great when it comes to simplicity. Looking for an easy solution? Then you need to try Linkypage.
Linkypage provides a simple but effective way to reach your web-based audience. It’s a platform that allows you to put all of your social media channels, instant messengers, web addresses, and more in one p
Licensed PC hardware tends to come in the form of things that are frequently seen: mice, keyboards, maybe a laptop or desktop enclosure every now and then. But if your love for Star Wars runs so deep that you want themed components that you’ll only see connected to your motherboard, Seagate has a collection of drives just for you. The new Beskar Ingot FireCuda collection looks like hunks of Beskar steel, sought after by the galaxy’s most ruthless bounty hunters.
The drives, ava
At some point, everyone learns that a CPU has a variable number of cores inside, and that number influences its performance. The next natural impulse is to find out how many cores your CPU has.
The good news is, figuring that out is extremely easy in Windows 10.
Simply tap the Windows key (or click on the Start menu button), then begin typing the word “system.” The top match should be “System” or “System Information.” Either will work, so hit the Enter
Steam claims that taking screenshots is simple. Just press F12 while in a game. You don’t have to memorize multiple keystrokes like for Windows Game Bar or GeForce Experience. And it’s true—that part is straightforward.
But where those screenshots end up is less simple. Steam lies about where it deposits those images. Well, it does to some people, anyway. Your settings might say that screencaps save to your Documents folder in Windows (or another location of your choosing)
When it comes to smartwatches, most people think of big brands like Apple or Samsung. However, there’s a whole world of alternative smartwatches out there and we’ve found one at a good price. Amazon is selling the Garmin Venu for $175 (50% off). That’s about $75 cheaper than the Galaxy Watch 4 right now (non-classic) and less than half of the Apple Watch Series 7. It’s also about $100 cheaper than the Apple Watch SE.
The Garmin Venu is the company’s first OLED
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
