YouTube might have experienced a few hiccups along the way, but lately it’s been speeding ahead. The video giant has announced a deal with EMI that will let YouTube users legally access video by EMI artists, which includes such iconic acts as the Rolling Stones.   Under the agreement, userswill even eventually be able to use EMI recordings in their own projects, which stands as a major step forward in usage.   Given that YouTube has been beset by law suits for pirating copyrightedmaterial, and is still in dispute with the communications behemoth Viacom, which is suing it for $1 billion, this has to bring a sigh of relief. It’s just ayear since EMI was talking to YouTube about unauthorized music videos posted on the site.   With EMI signing on the dotted line, it means that YouTube now has all four of the world’s bigrecord companies – the others are Sony BMG, Warner, and Universal – on board. Chad Hurley, CEO of YouTube, said,   “We’re excited to add EMI Music’s stellar roster of artists’content to our site and make it available to our community.”   It’s only ten days since EMI agreed to let itself be taken over by private equity firm Terra Firma for a cool $4.8billion.

EcoFlow DELTA Gen4 power station

EcoFlow has launched four new portable power stations under its DELTA Gen4 and RIVER Gen4 series. And there is a rather interesting trick they can pull off when the battery runs out. All four models come with Emergency Power Mode, which keeps a small amount of electricity in reserve even when the battery indicator shows 0%. That's enough to charge a phone or keep an emergency light running on the DELTA models during a power outage.

The lineup covers both ends of portable power needs. There are two high-capacity models for home backup, and two smaller ones for camping, road trips, and other outdoor activities.

Anker eufy Window Camera E10

Every time I look at an outdoor security camera, the same tedious process flashes before my eyes. Drilling into a wall, running a cable outside, and praying it survives the weather. Well, it looks like Anker’s eufy found a loophole.

Anker’s new Window Camera E10 is now available in the US for $79.99 (via Amazon). And now, for the most important bit: it’s an indoor camera that sticks to your window glass so you can watch the porch, yard, or driveway from inside (via eufy).
