It's a bit pricey, and the app only offers 3 EQ settings (none of which are customizable). Sometimes, you just need more power and volume than a typical Bluetooth speaker can provide.

So Long, Blue Screen of Death. Amazingly, You'll Be Missed

wired.com Craig Grannell 2025-08-21 07:37:17

For decades, the Blue Screen of Death, or BSOD to its friends, has instilled a mix of panic, dread, exasperation, and rage across countless Windows users. But now, Microsoft is getting ready to retire it. According to a Microsoft blog post, the Windows 11 crash screen—or, as the company puts it, “unexpected restart screen”—will soon adopt a distinctly more minimalist vibe. Along with scrapping the blue (in favor of a perhaps even more dread-inducing black), the revamp also ditches the sad face

Here are a few things to keep in mind when you go shopping for outdoor lights. Power: For most outdoor lighting, you need to run a cable to a power outlet, so you will want an outdoor socket. If you don’t have an outdoor socket, it’s usually a pretty cheap and quick job for an electrician to install a weatherproof one. Just be aware that large power adapters and awkwardly shaped plugs will not fit in outdoor sockets, so you will likely also want some kind of weatherproof box. I like the large D

I’ve been testing the $269 Bose SoundLink Plus, which is the company’s latest portable Bluetooth speaker.

You can toss it in a small backpack or clip it to the outside of one for easy transport to the beach or around town. However, at $269, the Plus falls into a no man’s land of Bluetooth speakers.
