Though there's no telling if a Chrome extension is really entirely safe, anyone could fall for an extension with a verified badge on the Chrome Web Store, promising reviews and over a hundred thousand installs. Unfortunately, an extension that fits exactly this description reportedly captures screenshots of users’ screens without their knowledge.

You can certainly use this for other things besides meatballs too, but it does present them beautifully. Ikea is teaming up with a Swedish designer for its latest collection, and the first product being teased is a dedicated plate for Ikea’s greatest product: meatballs. The 12-piece Gustaf Westman collection that’s launching on September 9th includes a chunky blue serving dish that is shaped to fit exactly 11 of the delicious morsels “in a celebratory row.”“I love designing objects for a specific function – it brings a touch of humor and makes them instantly easy to grasp. In Sweden, meatballs mean Christmas, and this plate is my way of honoring that tradition,” says Westman. “The design is simple, lining up the meatballs so each one is visible, like they’re sitting on little thrones. And while it was created with meatballs in mind, it works just as well for many other dishes.”I’m already a big fan of Westman’s signature playful style, and I think it pairs beautifully with Ikea’s brand aesthetic. Even the five-step instruction manual for this meatball plate is equal parts amusing and charming. I’m going to try (and likely fail) to convince myself that I don’t need a dish for displaying meatballs at whatever price tag it gets upon release.

Setting up virtual local area networks or VLANs in your home network or home lab makes management of your network easier. You can use one as a guest network to share your internet connection with friends, separate off noisy devices like smart TVs, and keep IoT devices on their network so they don't interfere with the devices that need low-latency connections. VLANs aren't challenging to set up or use, but I've made several missteps along the way and seen plenty more on other people's networks. The most common tend to be the easiest to fix, so let's run through what those are.

Are you tired of wrestling with email attachments and slow cloud services just to share a few files between your phone and a computer? You are not alone. I have been there, and that’s why I’m excited to share a tool that completely changed the game for me: LocalSend. It’s a free and open-source application that makes sharing files with nearby devices simple. It’s like a cross-platform AirDrop that works on all the operating systems.

While it was President Joe Biden who signed the law that would force  ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok or face a ban, it’s his successor, Donald Trump, who has yet to fulfill his promise of arranging a deal to keep TikTok running, legally, in the United States. The current deadline for a deal is September 17th. Still, it hasn’t stopped Trump’s administration from creating @WhiteHouse on TikTok, which published its first post on Tuesday night: a video celebrating Trump’s accomplishments. The ban has only seen TikTok shut down in the US for one day, and its impact has been delayed three times. The first time was in January, when Trump took office and signed an executive order delaying enforcement of the ban for 75 days; then there was another delay in April, after a potential deal fell through due to Trump’s harsh tariffs against China, and then in June, when he stated that he believed Chinese President Xi Jinping was open to a deal if a buyer emerged. While Trump tried to ban TikTok in 2020, his stance softened during his re-election campaign once his team learned how many supporters Trump had on the platform. In 2024, the Trump campaign launched its own official account, @TeamTrump, and quickly dominated the platform, getting more followers and views on their content than former Vice President Kamala Harris’s now-dormant campaign account — 2.8 billion to 2.2 billion, according to journalist Kyle Tharp.  A Republican digital operative close to the campaign heavily credited Trump, a former reality TV star, for his ability to generate attention-grabbing moments that could be transformed into viral content. “TikTok is primarily an entertainment app,” he previously told The Verge, “and our usage of it was just significantly more savvy than [the Democrats].”Although the legality of and ulterior motives behind a TikTok ban remain a serious question, the Trump administration, for now, appears to find utility in maintaining an account on the platform. “Why would I want to get rid of TikTok?” Trump said on Truth Social in January, sharing a post about the billions of views his campaign account continued to rack up. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt repeated this stance after the government account was launched. “President Trump’s message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign,” she said in a statement to The Verge, “and we’re excited to build upon those successes and communicate in a way no other administration has before.”

When I find a free graphics editing app, I have to try it, and unfortunately, most of them don’t last long. They either feel too stripped down to be useful or too clunky to replace the paid tools they’re mimicking. But every now and then, one of these apps stands out.

Picture this — you're about 16 years old in the mid-2000s. You're either studying for a math exam, or getting ready to head out to the movies with friends, and the most constant interruption you face isn't the landline ringing or mom calling you for tea.

What do you think of when you hear the term "undervolting"? We commonly associate squelching voltage with lowering clock speeds, higher efficiency, and power savings, not necessarily better performance. In reality, the last few hardware generations have pushed undervolting into the mainstream for just that: better performance. Tuning down the voltage of your components allows them to maintain the same level of performance with the same clock speed. In theory, (and sometimes in practice) this also allows them to boost higher, increasing performance.

You don’t have to worry about battery life with the Hyperkin Competitor since it’s a wired-only Xbox controller. | Image: Hyperkin There’s good news if you’re an Xbox gamer who’s longingly stared at the sleeker design of Sony’s DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5. After revealing the final form of its Competitor gamepad at CES 2025, Hyperkin has announced it will be available sometime in October for $49.99 in black and white color options for North America, and red, blue, and gold for Europe and Australia – although the company says those colors will also launch here at a later date.The Competitor was first teased as far back as 2019, and while Hyperkin revealed a blander design in 2023, it’s now fully embracing comparisons to PlayStation controllers, given that the Competitor features a symmetrical, side-by-side joystick arrangement. The Competitor’s features remain in line with what was revealed earlier this year at CES, including anti-drift Hall effect joysticks and impulse triggers, separated D-pad buttons, a pair of back buttons with locks, and a mic mute button.It’s far from being an exact clone of the DualSense, and it lacks the advanced haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of Sony’s controller. And don’t worry about battery life, the Competitor is a wired-only Xbox controller.
