Okay, so I’ve been wanting a Surface Pro for ages, and Best Buy has a really good deal right now! Normally, the 12-inch Surface Pro costs $799, but they’re selling it with the keyboard for only $749. Since the keyboard usually costs $149 separately, that means you’re saving a full $200 if you get the bundle. And if you don’t need the keyboard, you can actually get the Surface Pro itself for just $699. It’s a great price either way!

Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 next week, on October 14, 2025. Many users are switching to Windows 11, while others are opting for Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates to continue receiving support for Windows 10 for one more year.

Researchers at Cambridge University recently created an artificial intelligence tool that can forecast how Alzheimer’s disease will develop. The tool is highly accurate – about 80% of the time – and could help doctors suggest the best treatments and support for patients early on, before the disease gets worse.

As a Windows 11 user, I was running into this really annoying bug with my multiple monitors. If I tried to open the notification center from the little system tray icon on a screen *other* than my main one, absolutely nothing would happen! It’s great to see they’re finally fixing these kinds of issues.

I’ve been daily driving the Beelink SER9 Pro for the last month, and this is my full review.

Two new playlists, called Moshpit and Search and Destroy, have been added to the game. These playlists are designed to lessen the effects of Skill Based Matchmaking. While people have different opinions on whether that’s a good thing or not, many players are reporting that their ping (the delay between your actions and the game server) is noticeably lower in these new playlists compared to the standard ones.

If we temporarily ignore how important Xbox Game Pass is to Xbox’s income – and the fact that most Game Pass users play on Xbox consoles – and also set aside the limitations and costs of Xbox Cloud Gaming, something interesting emerges. Considering the same technology could be used to let people create their own local “cloud” powered by their home electricity – essentially, like a traditional console – the current direction seems a bit odd. Nevertheless, this is the path Microsoft is taking.

I’ve been waiting for this! Battlefield 6, the newest game from Electronic Arts (EA), is launching on October 10th. From what I’ve seen, it’s already getting a lot of positive attention. People are really liking how realistic the military action feels, and the recent beta test was a huge hit, attracting hundreds of thousands of players.

As a researcher on this project, I can share that everyone participating has the opportunity to earn special in-game items now, and the best part is – you’ll still have them when the complete game launches! We want to reward our players for helping us test and improve the experience.

Currently, you can only play in Survival mode on the Vandorn Farm map. However, there’s a special reward for dedicated players: reaching round 50 in a single match unlocks the “Tip of the Spear” Dark Ops challenge, which grants you a unique calling card available only during the beta.
