Also: These are my 5 must-have devices for work travel now My primary business travel has been conducted with the WaterField Pro Executive Laptop backpack and an OGIO rolling travel bag for the past three years. The OGIO is a very nice bag, but its space is not optimized for its size and rolling a bag through the airport requires one hand and arm dedicated to manoeuvring around. The majority of my trips are only 3-5 days long, so I only pack large suitcases when going on a family vacation and prefer small bags that let me avoid checking bags and waiting for them at my destination....

Also: 3 reasons to use an ergonomic mouse before it’s too late This is a trackball-style mouse and not a traditional mouse. And it’s the most comfortable mouse I’ve ever used (and I’ve tried a lot of ’em). Thanks to the Logitech MX Ergo mouse, even when my tendonitis flares up, I can still work without undo pain. During those flare ups, if I try to use a traditional mouse, the pain worsens....

That news shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. The end date is defined as part of Microsoft’s Modern Lifecycle Policy, and it’s documented on the Microsoft Lifecycle page: “Microsoft will continue to support at least one Windows 10 Semi-Annual Channel until October 14, 2025.” When a Windows version reaches its end-of-support date, the software keeps working, but the update channel grinds to a halt: Ho-hum stuff, right? I mean, this sort of thing has happened before, and the world didn’t come to an end....

Rising costs for everyday necessities such as groceries, gas and housing means less money in people’s pockets for products that fall under the luxury category. Therefore, tablets have experienced a shift from a work-from-home need to a luxury item, and the overall market fell 16% year on year in the third quarter of 2022. Despite this general market fall, some market vendors were able to successfully compete in the category by creating products and incentives that properly served their target audience....

The two trademark filings, discovered by Parker Ortolani, add to speculation about Apple’s mixed reality headset, which first hit the rumor mill in 2017 and flared up in February after developers noticed references “realityOS” in App Store logs. Ortolani found a company called Realityo Systems LLC had filed the name ‘RealityOS’ with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on December 8, 2021. The deadline for “international filing” of the name with the USPTO falls on June 8, 2022 – notably, two days after WWDC 2022 kicks off....

However, the threat of having someone breach your messages and read all of your private thoughts can be nerve wracking. For that reason, Facebook announced on Monday that it will be expanding Messenger’s end-to-end message encryption globally. The rollout of Messenger chat end-to-end encryption will happen gradually within the next few months, according to Meta, Facebook’s parent company. People will be notified in the individual chat thread when the chat is upgraded and encrypted....

But there are ways to be more productive, and if you expect the work-from-home order to last for more than a few days, it’s worth looking into those options. Before you plug in any peripherals, think about what kind of remote work you’ll be doing. Is most of your remote work saved to your company’s cloud? Do you do a disproportionate amount of email and video conferencing? Does your company allow remote access from personal devices?...

Yup, everything you need for charging in a small package. 10,000mAh of battery capacity might not sound like a lot, but it’s enough to almost recharge up an iPhone 13 Pro Max twice, which isn’t bad at all....

It’s somewhat comical that Zoom’s most recent quarterly results were called mixed by many analysts given that its quarterly sales topped $1 billion for the first time. Zoom’s outlook for third quarter revenue of $1.015 billion to $1.02 billion, or 31% growth from a year ago, is solid, but shows signs of normalization. In other words, Zoom’s growth is going to slow throughout fiscal 2022 due to tough comparisons with a year ago....

Also: The best electric bikes for commuting And it’s a lot of fun to jump on the bike and head out on an adventure. But there’s one thing that all cyclists worry about – and that’s a flat tire. Getting a flat tire on a pedal bike is a pain, but getting a flat on an e-bike is even worse. The extra weight of an e-bike, along with the extra range that the motor allows means that you could be hoofing it back home miles if something goes wrong....
