The MX Keys Mini is essentially the PC equivalent of Apple's Magic Keyboard, but it's better because almost anything is better than the Magic Keyboard. It's a 60% super-slim keyboard with both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth wireless, multi-device pairing, and some options for layout customization via Logitech's desktop software. You can read my full review of the MX Keys Mini for more details.
This isn't the absolute most recent model of the MX Keys design, but the only real difference is that the newer MX Keys S is a little quieter. That said, the MX Keys isn't exactly a noisy mechanical design in the first place, so if you want to save a lot of money on a stylish keyboard, this is a perfect way to do so. Oh, and apparently there isn't an S variant of the mini version of the keyboard… so there ya go.
This is one of Woot's old-fashioned daily deals, and it's a new (not refurbished) model. It'll only be on sale today only, July 15th, until midnight US Central time. And it might go out of stock well before then, s

So, what does Mint Mobile have planned? First of all, you can save up to $440 on one of the best smartphones out there. All these phones have amazing screens, great battery life, are blazing fast, and have cameras that will capture jaw-dropping photos.
Second of all, Mint Mobile is offering 50% off two years of Unlimited. Basically, you're going to use the service for free for a full year. In total, you'll pay a mere $360 for the whole thing which is impressively low.
So what phones can you get with $440 off? The very best, of course. The Samsung Galaxy S25 is usually available for $800, but you can get it for a mere $360 right now. Next one up, the Samsung Galaxy S25 usually costs a round $1,000, but you can get it for $560 at Mint Mobile.
Samsung's $1,100 Galaxy S25 Edge can now be purchased for $660, while the absolutely impressive S25 Ultra is down to $860 from its $1,300 MSRP.
If you'd rather get the Google Pixel 9 and the clean Android, know that this $800 phone is also available for $360. That's a really low price for such a stellar phone.
So there you go, the best chance to get a fantastic new phone and two years of Mint Mobile Unlimited for the price of one. This deal lasts through August 28th or while supplies last, so hurry up!

Researchers at Binarly and Carnegie Mellon University disclosed four deep firmware issues to Gigabyte back in April, which could allow attackers to bypass Secure Boot on hundreds of Gigabyte motherboard models. These compromised versions of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI, also sometimes called by the outdated term BIOS) can be used to run code in a pre-boot environment, essentially compromising the computer long before Windows or another operating system boots.
According to BleepingComputer, about 240 Gigabyte motherboard models with Intel chipsets use the American Megatrends parts affected by this firmware, plus tons of devices from other manufacturers that aren't currently disclosed. Gigabyte already patched the issue on some affected motherboards via the June BIOS update. But given the age of these PCs, many of them are out of service, meaning they're not scheduled to ever get UEFI/BIOS updates to fix the problem. That is… a problem.

Amazon has deployed over 750,000 robots to its fulfillment centers over the last decade or so, but now there's a new, shall we say, more sensitive addition. The company has announced Vulcan, its first robot with a sense of touch. It's one in a series of new robots introduced today at Amazon's Delivering the Future event in Germany.
Vulcan uses force feedback sensors to monitor how much it's pushing or holding on to an object and, ideally, not damage it. "In the past, when industrial robots have unexpected contact, they either emergency stop or smash through that contact. They often don't even know they have hit something because they cannot sense it." Aaron Parness, Amazon director, applied science, stated in the release. "Vulcan represents a fundamental leap forward in robotics. It's not just seeing the world, it's feeling it, enabling capabilities that were impossible for Amazon robots until now."
Of course, there's an AI component, with Amazon training Vulcan's AI on physical data around touch and force. Vulcan also uses algorithms to determine what it can handle, identify different products and find space in the fulfillment center. The machine has "tackled thousands" of objects and tasks, like moving electronics and picking up socks. The system can also learn from its mistakes, with Amazon stating the robot will become more capable as time goes on.
Amazon, which has faced continual
