If I want a PDF made out of a document on Windows, I always go to the Print to PDF feature. Despite its name, Print to PDF doesn't actually print anything; instead, it catches the print job using a virtual printer and converts your document into a PDF. This does mean that if you want to convert, say, a Word document into a PDF on Windows without third-party tools, you have to act as if you were printing it, but then on the print page, select "Print to PDF" and continue the process. It's handy to have, if a little weird to invoke.

Both custom and pre-made Gems will now be available to use via the side panel in Workspace apps. Google is giving Workspace users a way to access “Gems” — customizable versions of its Gemini AI assistant that specialize in specific tasks — without opening the Gemini app. Gems are now available directly in the side panel of Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail, allowing users to access custom chatbots they’ve created or a selection of pre-made offerings without switching between apps.“Gems can help you further leverage the power of Gemini in a way that’s customized to your needs more efficiently by minimizing repetitive prompting,” Google said in its announcement.Gemini users can curate versions of the chatbot to be an “expert” in particular tasks they regularly require, such as brand-tailored copywriting or revising for exams. Users can also upload their own files into Gems to provide them with task-specific context and resources. Otherwise, Google provides pre-made Gems for things like text editing, writing code, creating sales pitch ideas, and more.According to Google, some examples of how Workspace users can utilize Gems include:• Leverage a copywriting Gem to create posts and content tailored to your target audience, pre-loaded into the Gem.• Create a Gem that helps with sales interactions that is grounded on information for a specific company, prospect, or industry. • Leverage an “assistant gem” tailored to your job role to help provide more relevant summaries for you and content for internal communications.• Leverage a Gem designed to help pressure test content from a certain persona (e.x C-Suite or CEO) to help you create the most compelling message.Gems were previously only available in the Gemini app. Custom Gems can’t be created directly in Workspace apps, but users can do so by either heading to gemini.google.com/gems/create or tapping the “Create a new Gem” option in the Workspace side panel. Workspace capabilities like @-mentioning and accessing files/folders are supported by both custom and pre-made Gems.The Gems update is available to all Google Workspace users who can access Gemini in Workspace app side panels. It started rolling out on July 2nd, but Google says it may potentially take “longer than 15 days” to appear.

In 2017, my gaming PC died a brutal death, and with finals and a new job looming just around the corner, I stuck to a PS4 slim instead of investing the time, money, and effort into a full-fledged new PC. For the longest time, the console was all I needed, with its exclusives, comfort, and familiarity.

One thing's for certain — Opera's known to go quite wild with its features, in all the right ways. For instance, not too long ago, it announced an absolutely futuristic browser called Opera Neon.

Your router is the gateway between your Local Area Network (LAN) and the wild west of the Internet, and it should be your first line of defense for your privacy. But routers, even custom ones running OPNsense, are set up to get you online, not for your privacy. Even going through a basic checklist of security fixes will get your network more secure, but it only goes part of the way towards making your browsing more private.

Just under a month ago, we reported on a case where one of the Anker power banks, the PowerCore 10000 with the model number A1263, was recalled. The recall affected millions of units, citing a fire and safety hazard that could cause property damage or harm to people.

Stop what you're doing and grab this SSD before it sells out. This 2TB model from Crucial delivers pretty good speeds, topping out at 7400MB/s and also has a heatsink, which is perfect for compact spaces without much airflow. Best of all, it's now down to its best price yet at just $119. This is the cheapest that we've seen this drive, and we don't think it will get any cheaper during Prime Day.

I have been building PCs since 2007, and have used everything from a Pentium III (in my first pre-built) to the Ryzen 7 5700X. The first time I built a PC with my own money, however, was in 2017. I was living away from home and desperately wanted a gaming desktop — my old university laptop wasn't cutting it anymore. So, I put together a budget build that remained my primary rig till 2022, before I got my current gaming PC. From a lopsided, affordable rig to a relatively high-end one, it's been a journey fraught with mistakes and pleasant surprises.

I complain about Windows 11 being clunky and getting worse with each update, yet I continue to use it daily. The same applies to Microsoft 365 and other products, which are often criticized for instability and potential security concerns, yet remain popular despite their drawbacks. Many of the complaints are valid, and while some users find alternatives, the majority, including myself, continue using them for one reason or another.

Obsidian is a fantastic note-taking app, and it's easy to assume that you can only use it for super-serious professional things. But let's be real, here; we D&D DMs need all the organization we can get to keep our brains in check and our campaigns running smoothly. Trust me, there have been countless times where my players brought up a character and location, and I just stared at them and said "...who or where was that, again?"

No one wants to waste power on their gaming PC. Sure, you want the highest performance possible, even if it comes at the cost of increased power draw, but spending watts that you're not using is just a waste. From frames that your monitor can't display to odd CPU spikes when you're sitting on the desktop, tiny inefficiencies can quickly add up.
