Okay, so we know that AirTags are good at tracking anything you can attach to them, but does that tracking also work internationally? Would they still transmit? How long before they died? These are all important questions, and German YouTuber MegaLag decided to put them to the test.

Back in June, he bought a three-pack of AirTags and decided on his intended destinations. Now, he knew that sending them to any old random place wouldn’t do. It had to be places of note.

One went to the German embassy in North Korea, one was sent to SpaceX HQ addressed to Elon Musk, and the third went to the only place that made sense – Tim Cook at Apple Park in San Francisco, California.

Not to say that all three actually got to their destination, but two did, and one even got mailed back to him with a nice note! That’s

Valve, the company behind the massive PC gaming store Steam, has announced a handheld console that will rival the likes of the Nintendo Switch. The Steam Deck has a seven-inch display and is supposedly capable of playing many of today’s AAA games.

Literally, everything. The battery, the display, the webcam, the enclosures, the hinges, the input cover, the touchpad, the keyboard, the fingerprint reader, the headphone jack… the list goes on and on.

Now, if anyone’s built their own PC and then looked inside a laptop, you know everything in there is put together in some arcane manner that really needs a long instruction manual to disassemble.

Not so on the Framework laptop. Every component that can be repaired or replaced has a QR code on it.

Just 20 years ago, technology began to explode as we shifted from old-school VHS tapes and VCRs to DVDs and DVD players. DVDs then had a short run at the top before the digital age came and wiped away the discs for good.

Still, there are many of us that hold on to our old DVD collections in hopes of reliving those memories sometime soon. But DVDs are quickly becoming obsolete, and it won’t be long before we are no longer able to play DVDs. Fortunately, there’s a tool that can help you preserve that collection permanently by converting your DVDs into digital media.

WinX DVD Ripper is a completely free program that lets you turn your old DVDs into digital media, so you won’t have to worry about how to play them back
