One of the nice things about buying a new TV, soundbar, or security system, is that it’s not just for you, it’s for everyone. That’s something we rarely see in computing (it’s harder to share your wireless headphones), which is what makes this offer from Dell really special. Right now, you can get Microsoft 365 Family and McAfee Total Protection for only $100. That’s $90 off its original price of $190. The best part? This software can be installed on up to six devices, meaning that the entire family can enjoy this one deal.

When it comes to Microsoft offerings in terms of business and work software, the Microsoft 365 Family is really as good as it gets. Unlike the standard Microsoft Office, it offers cloud support and multi-device compatibility. This is a serious advantage when you’re shopping for a household where the projects range from your work presentation to the monthly budget to your kids’ book reports. Also, cloud support is the ultimate peace of mind, not only giving you access from anywhere, but offering real-time backups which will save you from losing any info, or work, ever.

Office 365 Family comes with all the Microsoft Office standards (Word, Powerpoint, Excel), as well as apps like Microsoft Outlook, Publisher, and Access. On top of these bedrock apps are the OneDrive and Skype cloud services that can satisfy all your collaboration, communication, and cloud needs. Windows Office 365 Family can be installed on any Windows PC, Mac computer, or compatible mobile device that you or your family members own. That’s the definition of versatile. There is a monthly subscription fee, but this deal gives you a year for free on six devices. And, that subscription can be worth it to renew as Microsoft 365 is widely seen as the best choice for professionals, business owners, and other users who use this kind of software as an everyday tool.

As for McAfee Total Protection with SiteAdvisor, what you’re getting is the premium antivirus software on the market. This is like wandering the internet with your own personal Navy-Seal-trained security guard, regardless of whether you’re at home or mobile, doing your banking, shopping, emailing, messaging, or just browsing online. It specializes in safeguarding your identity and your network and also blocks out phishing scams, hackers, and spyware. Curious about how your security is holding up? This edition comes with McAfee SecurityCenter, which allows you to check in with your security status whenever you want.

We’ve seen some great Microsoft Office deals, but Microsoft 365 Family, bundled together with McAfee Total Protection, with a year of free subscription, for only $100 is a rare offer. You get the very best in office software, everything you need for work or school, and meanwhile keep your privacy, and your email spam-free, at $90 off — down from $190. That’s the kind of deal you don’t want to miss out on.

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.

The app just received its 5.0 update, adding AI actions powered by Claude, window layouts, variables, a redesigned settings interface, a new Atmosphere background effect, and a squircle menu shape. I got to try most of these, and here's what I found.

Android desktop mode made me miss my laptop in record time
I tried writing and publishing from Google’s phone-to-monitor setup, and the future of mobile computing immediately started sweating.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Android 17 desktop mode has a very simple pitch. Plug your phone into a monitor, add a keyboard and mouse, and watch the slab in your pocket pretend to be a computer. I wanted to give that pitch a fair shot, so I tried using it for an actual workday instead of a cute demo.

The goal was boring on purpose: write an article, edit it, build the page in WordPress, upload whatever needed uploading, and publish the thing without running back to my laptop like a coward.

As AI turbocharges digital abuse, UK agencies urge parents to limit who sees kids’ photos online
The National Crime Agency and Internet Watch Foundation are asking parents to tighten privacy settings as AI-generated abuse material rises.
Social Media

Parents who post pictures of their kids online are being told to rethink the habit. 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.
