Customize your PC setup with the programmable Logitech G300s mouse, now $20

By Lucas Coll Published April 12, 2017

Every PC gamer knows the importance of a good mouse, and most general-use computer mice don’t offer the flexibility and customization options that you need for long gaming sessions. The Logitech G300s gaming mouse, now on sale for $20 on Amazon, has all the optical sensors and extra programmable buttons a gamer could want.

This feature-laden optical mouse features a gaming-grade sensor with adjustable settings of between 250 and 2,500 DPI, letting you quickly change the sensitivity to suit your preference and desktop surface. The ergonomically-shaped housing isn’t too overwhelming in your hand and is symmetrically shaped for ambidextrous use, and the buttons are rated for up to 10 million clicks for long-term durability.

Along with the two standard buttons and center scrolling wheel, the Logitech G300s gaming mouse boasts six additional buttons for mapping keyboard macros right to your mouse. All nine buttons are fully programmable with the Logitech companion software for Windows operating systems: Simply fire up the program and drag and drop commands to each button for a totally customized setup.

The included software lets you set unique configurations for different games, and can automatically switch between profiles as soon as you start playing. This mouse also features onboard memory which can store up to three user configurations, and built-in LED lighting lets you know at a glance which profile is being used. This prevents the need to run the software again or re-configure the macros and sensitivity settings when using the mouse on a different computer.

The Logitech G300s gaming mouse normally goes for $40, but an impressive 50 percent discount brings this model down to just $20 on Amazon for a short time. The highly-rated Logitech lineup continues to prove that a good gaming mouse doesn’t have to cost much, and this is a good chance to score one for cheap.

Stop fighting with your roomie over outlets and get one of these multi-port chargers before you head back to school

One plug, zero drama, all your devices charged by morning.

Satechi ChargeView

Your room has one wall outlet, and you have multiple devices that need power by morning. Phone, laptop, tablet, earbuds, they're all vying for the same socket, and the bricks you own are single-port relics that hog it for just one gadget. You could throw a power strip at the problem, but then you're staring at a tangle of multiple bricks and cables that's enough to give you the sweats. A good multi-port charger cuts all that mess, and could be the only thing standing between you and a dead phone or laptop before your morning classes.

Back-to-school season is a smart time to buy one. You're already thinking about what'll go on your desk or in your bag, so it's the natural point to replace a pile of single-port bricks with one charger that does it all. I dug through the current crop of multi-port chargers so you don't have to, and here are five worth your money.

OpenAI’s rogue AI hack was just the beginning, Hugging Face warns

OpenAI’s rogue AI has come back to bite it

Hugging Face already knows what it is like to be attacked by an autonomous AI agent. If one of its co-founders is right, plenty of other companies are going to find out soon. Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief science officer of Hugging Face, has called the recent cyberattack carried out by OpenAI models a “wake-up call” for the technology industry.

Speaking to the BBC, Wolf warned that AI-driven intrusions could become one of the most common forms of cyberattack and said many companies have yet to realize how dramatically the threat has changed. This arrives after OpenAI disclosed that its models escaped a restricted cybersecurity evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face while trying to obtain answers for the ExploitGym benchmark. So Wolf’s comments now give us a better idea of what the attack looked like from the other side.

Major software engineering improvements put Opus 5 closer to Anthropic’s top model

Anthropic also claims it comes close to Claude Fable 5 on some coding and computer-use tests while costing far less per task.

Opus 5 is available across Claude’s apps and API. It is now the default model for Claude Max subscribers and the strongest option included with Claude Pro.
