 In the review video below, our own Dan Barbera shares his thoughts on the AirPods Pro 3, after testing them for nearly a week.

For starters, this power strip has six AC outlets, much like any conventional power strip. But they're arranged three on each side, making it easier to fit large plugs and adapters without covering up outlets and wasting space. On top of that, you get two USB-A and two USB-C charging ports, allowing you to charge your phone, tablet, laptop, Nintendo Switch, and everything else without clogging up the outlets. (The USB-C ports deliver up to 20W, the USB-A ports up to 12W.)
I like that this power-strip-charging-station-thing comes with a 5-foot cable with a flat plug, making it easy to plug into your wall even when it's behind furniture. The Anker strip has a built-in 8-point safety system that will protect your gear from overloads, overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuits. In short, it's as good as what you have, but better.
This might be the easiest $20 you spend to organize your cables and chargers and free up space. Get Anker's 10-in-1 USB power strip for $19.99 before this limited-time deal expires!

PhantomofEarth on Twitter found it, cheekily hiding in the right-click context menu of the network icon. You can also get it in the networking sub-menu (as pictured above) as its own dedicated icon. According to Windows Central, following either link will take you to Bing's internet speed test. Which probably isn't anyone ‘s favorite, but it's just a re-skinned version of Ookla's venerable Speedtest.net, and it's plenty functional if all you need is a quick look at the connection between you and a nearby server.
Microsoft hasn't officially announced the feature as something in the 25H2 update, despite it being live in the latest Windows Insider builds, so who knows when or if it'll actually show up. That said, it's a very small change and it's handy, so I don't see any reason that it wouldn't pop up fairly soon.

According to Windows Latest, the translation happens more or less live. However, given that it's powered by the latest AI technology, you'll need to have a reasonably powerful computer for this feature—at least 12GB of RAM and at least a quad-core CPU. (Note that if you assign that much memory to Edge, other apps will slow to a crawl while translating.)
The biggest problem with this real-time audio translation feature right now is that the AI-generated audio can suddenly switch between male and female voices when the tone of voice changes.
Furthermore, translation language support is extremely limited, with only English, Spanish, and Korean currently supported. However, the plan is to add more languages in the future.

There's nothing worse than realizing your laptop is gone and being full of regret, wishing you'd taken those proactive steps when you had the chance. You have that chance right now—don't put it off until "later" that never comes. Act now to protect your sensitive data and make sure your laptop is more easily recoverable should you lose it.
Both Windows 11 and Windows 10 have useful safeguarding features worth using, and Windows can theoretically track your lost laptop (but you'll need extra hardware for the best tracking experience). Here are the preemptive steps you should take to protect your laptop ASAP.
Check if your storage is encrypted
First things first, you have to make sure your laptop's internal storage is securely encrypted. There's a good chance it already is—disk encryption is enabled by default on many newer Windows laptops—but it might not be. If it isn't, you'll want to turn it on.
To check if your PC is encrypted, open the Start menu, search for "Device Encryption" or "BitLocker," then click Device encryption settings or Manage BitLocker, respectively. You'll see a different
