Maingear currently has a total of three workstation options that can be customized according to your needs. As per the company, you can even configure it with the newly launched Threadripper 7000 CPUs.

The first one is the Pro WS which comes in a standard mid-tower design. It is configured in Fractal Design’s North mid-tower chassis with elegant wood-finish panels on the front. You can opt for a glass or mesh side panel while core hardware options include the latest Intel Core or AMD Ryzen CPUs, paired with dual Nvidia RTX 6000 GPUs for formidable graphics performance. If you remember Maingear recently launched two custom gaming PC options in partnership with Fractal Design and Noctua.

Storage needs are met with choices between Samsung 990 NVMe SSDs (1-4TB options) or Seagate IronWolf HDDs (8-16TB options). To handle all the demanding hardware there is a 1600W PSU while operating system options include Windows 11 Pro, Linux, or a dual-boot setup. As a testament to its reliability, the ProWS is backed by a 2-year Pro Solutions Warranty, with the option to upgrade to a 3-year warranty.

I let Radial menu take over my Mac, and I’m never going back
One mouse jiggle, endless shortcuts. My Mac has never felt this fast.
Radial app running on Mac

I have been testing Radial for the past week, and it's quickly become one of those apps I didn’t know how I could live without. It's a radial menu for macOS that puts your shortcuts, scripts, and automations right where your cursor is, so you never have to go hunting through menus to find what you need.

Android desktop mode made me miss my laptop in record time

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

The UK's National Crime Agency and the Internet Watch Foundation have issued new guidance urging families to lock down their social media accounts, warning that publicly shared photos are increasingly being pulled and altered by AI tools to create child sexual abuse material.

The two organizations say most parents have no idea this is happening. Criminals no longer need to contact a child directly to generate such material. They can scrape an ordinary photo and run it through widely available nudify apps.
