Why you should buy the Linksys Velop Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system

Fast and reliable Wi-Fi coverage in every corner of the home is now a necessity, with every family member using internet-connected gadgets and smart home devices needing to stay online at all times. That’s where whole-home mesh Wi-Fi networks that are enabled by the likes of the Linksys Velop Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system come in. With three nodes that each cover 3,000 square feet and connect up to 200 devices to the internet, and with support for Wi-Fi 6E, this system will make sure that everyone and everything is online, no matter where you go in your home.

Unlike range extenders and repeaters that provide separate networks to the different areas of your home, the Linksys Velop Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system expands just one network, so you’ll only need one SSID and password for all of your devices. It may sound complicated, but it’s fairly easy to set up using the Linksys app — you’ll only need minutes to get everything up and running.

While there are router deals for cheap standard routers, a reliable Wi-Fi network at home will likely require something like the Linksys Velop Pro 6E. If you’re interested, it’s available from Best Buy for only $300, following a $100 discount on its sticker price of $400. The offer may expire as soon as tomorrow though, which means you’re increasing the risk of missing out with every minute that you hesitate. Add the Linksys Velop Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system to your cart and push forward with the checkout process immediately to make sure that you enjoy the savings.

Artificial intelligence agents being tested by OpenAI were involved in a previously undisclosed cyberattack against RubyGems in May, an incident that is now raising uncomfortable questions about how much control humans really have over increasingly autonomous AI systems.

The attack overwhelmed RubyGems, a popular service used by software developers to publish and access Ruby packages, forcing operators to suspend new account registrations for four days. According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, OpenAI confirmed that its agents had been involved, but said they were using the platform to perform benign tasks and retrieve publicly available information during a training run.

AMD’s new budget CPUs could be a lifeline for cash-strapped PC builders
AMD Ryzen 5 5500F CPU

AMD has added two new six-core processors to its desktop lineup. The Ryzen 5 5500F brings six Zen 3 cores and 12 threads to the older AM4 platform for around $99, while the Ryzen 5 7500 moves to Zen 4 and AM5 for around $189, complete with integrated Radeon graphics.

The Ryzen 5 5500F arrives at an interesting time for budget PC builders. Putting together a current-generation system, or moving an existing PC to one, can get expensive quickly. An AM5 build requires a compatible motherboard and DDR5 memory, and RAM prices have risen sharply. For someone already running an AM4 system, the 5500F offers an inexpensive processor option without requiring a platform-wide replacement.
