This premium Ryzen 7 mini PC with 32GB RAM is rarely this cheap!

You might scoff at the potential of mini PCs given how small they are, but that's far from the truth. At least with the UM870 Slim, you're getting a brilliant device that packs great performance between its AMD Ryzen 7 8745H CPU, chunky 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM, and fast 1TB SSD for quick file transfers and app loads. That's more than enough for a responsive Windows 11 experience through work and leisure tasks.

And while the UM870 Slim lacks a dedicated graphics card, it does have AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics, which is good enough for some light gaming. (I have the same in my own mini PC and it works just fine for World of Warcraft!) It's also able to power up to three high-def monitors: two 8K@60Hz via HDMI 2.1 and USB4, one 4K@60Hz via DisplayPort 1.4. There are plenty of other ports too, including high-speed USB-A ports, a 2.5G LAN port, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Don't miss out on the Minisforum UM870 Slim for $479.90 on Amazon! This rare 20% discount won't stick around forever.

Windows 11 battens down security with new admin rights check feature

In a deeper dive via this Windows IT Pro blog post, we're told that Administrator Protection kicks in whenever you want to do anything that requires administrator privileges, such as install software, change system settings, or access sensitive data. To do any of that, you'll need to authenticate via Windows Hello on demand (which means setting up and using your fingerprint, face scan, or PIN code).

BulletVPN shuts down, throwing lifetime subscribers under the bus

The service was based in Estonia and had been in operation since 2015. Up until last month, it had been offering lifetime VPN subscriptions to users for only $39. However, in a message on its homepage titled, "BulletVPN End of Life," the company announced that the VPN service would no longer be available.

This adds to a growing number of controversies surrounding lifetime subscriptions in the ever-changing VPN market. Just in May of this year, VPNSecure suddenly cut all lifetime subscriptions after being sold to new owners.

To stand out in a crowded market, many smaller VPN providers, such as BulletVPN, offer lifetime subscriptions with cheap prices in order to attract new customers. Unfortunately, these deals can often turn sour if the VPN service goes out of business—which is often the case for smaller VPN providers in the cut-throat industry.

In a statement on its website the company wrote, "This decision was made after careful consideration of various factors, including shifts in market demand, evolving technology requirements, and sustainability of operations."

To explore deep space, scientists say we'll need better clocks. Here's why
Happy Memorial Day, Short Wavers! This holiday, we bring you a meditation on time ... and clocks. There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit right now, perched on satellites all over Earth. We depend on them for GPS location, Internet timing, stock trading and even space navigation. In today's encore episode, hosts Emily Kwong and Regina G. Barber learn how to build a better clock. In order to do that, they ask: How do atomic clocks really work, anyway? What makes a clock precise? And how could that process be improved for even greater accuracy?

- For more about Holly's Optical Atomic Strontium Ion Clock, check out the OASIC project on NASA's website.
- For more about the Longitude Problem, check out Dava Sobel's book, Longitude.
