Microsoft has officially started the countdown clock on Windows 10. If you're still procrastinating the upgrade, now is the time to act—before you're left with no future security updates and paying full price for Windows 11 Pro. While codes last, you're able to save a whopping $184.
These Windows 11 Pro keys also upgrade two compatible PCs, like your personal and work computers, to the latest, most advanced operating system to date. Enjoy a refreshed user design, new productivity tools, improved gaming graphics with DirectX12 Ultimate, and enhanced security with Smart App Control and TPM 2.0.
Since this is the Pro version of Windows 11, you'll also get remote desktop access for viewing files and running programs from your mobile device. There is also BitLocker device encryption for protecting your hard drive in the case of device loss or theft, plus Azure AD, Hyper-V, and Windows Sandbox for professional use cases.

According to Mark Gurman in the Power On newsletter this weekend, we may see at least two devices with Apple's upcoming M5 chip before the end of the year. Gurman reports that the M5 iPad Pro has reached the late stages of testing, putting it "on track for production in the second half of this year." And the M5 MacBook Pro should be here sometime in the fall, in line with the timing of the past few years' releases.
This year's iPad Pro likely won't be the generation that adopts Apple's in-house modem, though. According to Gurman, that shift is expected to happen in 2027 with the arrival of the M6 models — which he reports that Apple has already begun "early" work on. Apple introduced its first in-house cellular modem, the C1, with the iPhone 16e in February this year, and so far it seems to be performing pretty well.

One notable trend at CES earlier this year was the quirky robot vacuum. It seemed every third booth had a new model that could climb stairs, pick up socks, serve drinks and, oh yeah, suck up dirt from your floor. Now that Amazon's Spring Sale is here, we're seeing lots of discounts — not on those wacky prototypes, but on robo vacs that make keeping your floors clean easier and automated.
Engadget has two guides to these handy home gadgets, based on years of testing and reviewing products from brands like iRobot, Shark, Dyson, Eufy and more. Here are the best deals on robot vacuums and cordless stick vacs we could find for the Big Spring Sale.

It might be around that time of year when you're starting to figure out your summer vacation plans. Google has revealed some new features that can help with that, including a handy AI-powered one for Maps.
If you turn on the new screenshot list, Gemini can automatically recognize locations that are mentioned in screenshots you take in the app. You can then save the places you're interested in to a list. These saved spots will appear on the map, and you can share the list with your travel companions. This feature will be available on iOS in English in the US starting this week. It's coming to Android soon.

When ChatGPT landed in late 2022, everything changed. Google, the giant who invented the tech that paved the way for ChatGPT, is now trailing behind. Wired just published a great article detailing how Google was caught off guard and has been trying to claw back into the lead—or at least recover some lost ground—in the years since then.
Led by Sissie Hsiao, Google's AI team was tasked with building a ChatGPT competitor in 100 days. The result was Bard, brought forward by the work of thousands of employees, scaled-down security checks, and long hours. Meanwhile, Google's Brain and Deepmind AI units were merged, and that collaboration would result in Gemini, the language modeling project that helped salvage the company's reputation.
But the road back to the top of AI has been bumpy. Bard made embarrassing mistakes, Google's AI search feature gave inaccurate (and sometimes dangerous) advice, and the company's image generator caused a media frenzy after generating historically inaccurate images.
Despite the setbacks, Google has regained some ground. Gemini launche
