| It's August 3, 2022. On this day in 1977, Radio Shack announced the TRS-80, the company's first PC. Did you know it only had 4KB of RAM? Wow, we've got it pretty good these days, huh? | | | ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds | | | Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): | | 292 articles, 9 podcasts, 9 press releases, 403 tweets, and 26 YouTube videos | | | 1. Samsung Jumps on the Right to Repair Train | | Samsung just announced they're giving some US Galaxy owners the resources to fix common smartphone and tablet issues. The company has teamed up with iFixit to start a self-repair program, complete with official tools and replacement parts. It has to be better than Apple's, right? | | 2. ExpressVPN Gets a Boost on M1 and M2 Macs | | 3. Logitech and Tencent Partner to Build Cloud Gaming Handheld | | Tencent and Logitech are making a handheld gaming console. Don't expect it to compete with the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch, though, as it will instead act as a cloud gaming services hub. GeForce NOW and Xbox Cloud Gaming are already on board, but we hope it'll support more than that if/when it launches. | | | iOS 16 will let people edit their iMessages, but don't expect it to cover up all your mistakes. What's the point then? Great question. Let Oliver Haslam explain the whole situation. | | | VPNs! They're useful, easy to set up, and pretty popular. And based on the chart above, people rely on them for a variety of reasons, with safety and privacy being at the top. We can't blame them—sometimes our browsers and ISPs lack what we really want from them, so why not do it yourself? | | | 🔥 Today's Hot Deal | | That new PC you're building? It's going to need a new CPU. Fortunately, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is down to $189 on Amazon right now, which is way better than the $309 it used to be. A message from above? Probably. Get on that! | | | | | "Hey, Earth, are you okay?" —Rob LeFebvre, Associate Editorial Director, News, Lifewire | | | 💎 You Know You Want It | | Horizontal? Vertical? You decide! | | A TV that rotates to better display what you're watching sounds like a dream. Well, friends, dream no more, because Samsung's 43-Inch The Sero is exactly that. What more do we need to say? It's a QLED 4K Smart TV that rotates! If you need more convincing, then you clearly don't want it as much as we do. | | | We'll try to remember the good times | | | |
