You might not have heard about AMD’s ROCm. It (unofficially) stands for Radeon Open Compute PlatforM—a pretty terrible acronym—and it’s pronounced “rock ’em.” This is a way for programs to take advantage of the computing power in a graphics card instead of a CPU. Think of it as a software accelerator, sort of like AMD’s version of Nvidia CUDA. And it’s about to become a lot more relevant. PCWorld contributor Will Smith got to speak with Andrej Zdravkovic, Senior Vice President of GPU Technologies at AMD. While ROCm is mostly relevant for large-scale “big iron” enterprise applications right now, the latest changes are making it more relevant for regular Windows users. How so? Well, the new HIP (Heterogeneous Interface for Portability) SDK. It’s a bit of special sauce that lets programs designed to use CUDA and similar systems tap into ROCm’s power to leverage Radeon graphics cards. And it has the potential to be a huge game-changer. Basically, any local program that needs extra power—from AI applications to rendering to file processing and beyond—can benefit from this, with only small tweaks needed to get existing code up and running in most cases.

Microsoft is sending the next annual feature update for Windows 11, version 25H2, out to the Release Preview channel for testing beginning today. It’s a signal that Windows 11 25H2 will arrive on your PC soon, as September quickly approaches. Actually, chances are that you have most of the bits associated with Windows 11 H2 on your PC right now. Microsoft is servicing both Windows 11 24H2 as well as Windows 11 25H2 on the same servicing branch, and the 25H2 update will be pushed to your PC as an “enablement package.” In simpler terms, this means that Microsoft has simply sent most of the code in Windows 11 25H2 to your PC already, and the only thing left to do will be to turn the new, updated features on. The enablement package will basically be a standard patch, delivered to your PC by Windows Update. How big the patch is and how long it will take to install is basically determined by your habits: if you’ve previously kept your PC up to date, there won’t be that much code to install and the process should go far more quickly than the sizeable Windows 11 24H2 update that took place late last year. In June, Microsoft pitched the Windows 11 25H2 update as “as easy as a restart.” It will be rolled out in the “second half of 2025,” Microsoft said then. Naturally, there will be bugs — though with a smaller update hopefully they will be minimal. You can always postpone the Windows 11 25H2 Update by using the “Pause updates” control in Windows Update. That will buy you seven weeks until Microsoft forces you to apply new patches, including Windows 11 25H2. Usually, there’s a small cadre of what Microsoft calls “seekers” that flip on the “Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available” toggle in Windows Update, and those users will receive Windows 11 25H2 first. When should you get Windows 11 25H2? Typically, Microsoft’s fall release happens in September or October. I’d expect it to roll out in September, since it’s on the smaller side. What new features are expected in Windows 11 25H2? Typically, Microsoft tests a variety of new features throughout the year, in the Canary, Dev, Beta, and Release Preview Channels. Microsoft pushes some of these features out via app updates; with others, it enables them as part of the feature update. Here’s some of what we expect. Start’s mobile sidebar By Windows 11 25H2, Microsoft should be making its Start mobile sidebar available to all PCs that connect the PC to either an iPhone or preferably an Android phone. While that doesn’t do away with the Your Phone application, it’s an easy way to see if you have messages that need replying to, for example. Microsoft Supposedly, you should be able to resume an app that you’ve begun on your Android phone and launch it on your PC via the Your Phone app, too. New category views within Start Similarly, Microsoft is tweaking the Start menu to show off different views, such as a new “category” layout. That should appear in Windows 11 25H2, though it’s not guaranteed. Both the mobile sidebar and the new category views should be adjustable via the Personalization > Start menu within Windows Settings. Improved Settings Page Microsoft has shown off an improved Settings page with “cards” that show off the highlights of your system at the very top. Microsoft added this to via the 25H2 release schedule earlier this year, so it should be available this fall as well. Likewise, the “smarter” Settings should respond to queries using AI. Microsoft Semantic search Microsoft unveiled semantic search in the 25H2 Canary Channel earlier in August. Essentially, it allows you to search for a file using its characteristics (“the presentation I made to the town council”)without knowing the exact file name. Quick Machine Recovery An under-the-hood change, Quick Machine Recovery should facilitate issues when your computer crashes. Instead of putting the onus on you to solve your own problems, what QMR claims to do is search out the solution on Microsoft’s servers and apply it itself. Click-to-Do improvements Microsoft also is adding new contextual features to Click-to-Do, such as describing an image or converting a table to Excel, with just a right-click of the mouse.

As they suffered through yet another service outage that left them unable to access their locally stored TV recordings, many Tablo over-the-air DVR users were asking themselves—and Tablo—one question: When will we finally get an offline mode?  The answer, it turns out, is today. On the official Tablo blog, Tablo manufacturer Nuvyyo announced that it’s rolling out a long-promised feature that allows users of the fourth-generation Table DVRs to watch live TV with an antenna and stream previously recorded over-the-air TV shows even when their internet goes out or Tablo servers go down.  Tablo’s new offline mode comes a few weeks after Tablo DVR users endured a pair of server outages that briefly locked them out of live and recorded over-the-air TV streams and temporarily blanked out their electronic programming guides.  There have been plenty of other Tablo outages in the past too, enough so that Tablo owners have long been asking for an offline mode that would allow them to access live TV via an antenna, as well as their recorded OTA shows when Tablo’s servers are inaccessible.  The new offline mode (first reported by Cord Cutters News) has some quirks, including the fact that it can’t be activated manually. Instead, your Tablo DVR will prompt you to enable offline mode if it detects your internet is offline or the Tablo service is down or spotty.   Also, your Tablo must be online and able to retrieve the current time from your ISP prior to going into offline mode. If, say, your Tablo reboots during an internet outage, the offline mode won’t work. (Tablo says it’s “working on a solution” to this limitation.)  Finally, your home router must be powered on and working to connect the Tablo DVR to client devices, including TVs and streaming players.  For now, Tablo’s offline mode is working only for Amazon Fire TV and Android TV versions of the Tablo app; it will be available “later this week” (it’s Friday as of this writing) for Apple TV, iOS, and Roku. Users of the Samsung, LG, and Android versions of the Tablo app will get offline mode in the “coming months.”  Tablo DVRs in offline mode will only have limited features. Live streaming channels from the internet won’t be available (of course), nor will you be able to browse the Home or Guide screens for upcoming shows. And while you’ll have access to up to 14 days of “basic” programming guide information, you won’t be able to schedule new recordings.  Even with those limitations, it’s good to hear Tablo users won’t be blocked from watching over-the-air TV, live or otherwise, when their internet conks out or if Tablo’s own servers gives up the ghost. This news story is part of TechHive’s in-depth coverage of the best over-the-air DVRs. Read...

OLED monitors aren’t exactly cheap, but Dell subsidiary Alienware definitely has some of the best bang-for-your-buck value in this space. The first model it offered is still popular for exactly that reason, and today you can get that ultrawide OLED gaming monitor at a deep discount. It’s $549.99 right now on Amazon (half its launch price of $1,099.99). The Alienware AW3423DWF is a 34-inch ultrawide curved design, using the semi-standard 3440×1440 resolution. That means this is basically a 27-inch monitor stretched out to the cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio. On top of that gorgeous OLED panel with its near-perfect contrast, it’s packing a 165Hz refresh rate. While that isn’t as fast as some more recent OLED gaming monitors, it should be enough to make your desktop PC sweat with newer 3D games at full resolution. It also supports a standard VESA mount, so you can easily add a monitor arm. You can check out PCWorld’s full review for more details. This monitor comes with plenty of ports for multiple consoles or desktops—one HDMI, double DisplayPort, five USB-A, but no USB-C support so it’s not a great choice if your only gaming device is a laptop. But even a couple of years after it debuted, it’s one of the best deals around. You simply won’t find a new ultrawide OLED at this size for this price. Amazon says this is a “limited time deal,” so it might not stick around for long, especially since it’s been replaced with a newer Alienware model. I’d get an order in quickly if it’s what you want. If not, be sure to check out PCWorld’s selections for the best monitors on the market. Get an Alienware 34-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitor for $550Buy now at AMazon Read...

TechHive Editors Choice At a glanceExpert`s Rating Pros Camera delivers sharp 4K video Starlight night vision renders onboard spotlights optional Reliable AI detection with customizable alerts Onboard sirens and flashing lights for active deterrence Required NVR stores camera recordings locally, eliminating the need for a subscription Cons Installation involves running ethernet cables through your walls There’s no support for Apple Home Can’t operate without Eufy’s NVR (this isn’t really a con, it’s by design) Our Verdict The Eufy PoE Bullet Security Camera E40, along with Eufy’s Network Video Recorder S4, is a strong choice for homeowners and small business owners who want the enhanced security and reliability of hardwired cameras; plus, local AI and local storage that eliminates the need for a subscription. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Best Prices Today: Eufy PoE Bullet Security Camera E40 Retailer Price $129.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Best Prices Today: Check today’s prices The Eufy PoE Bullet Security Camera E40 is aimed at homeowners and small business owners who want the reliability of wired infrastructure, along with local storage of security camera recordings to eliminate the cost of a cloud subscription. It’s built for people who take their security seriously and are willing to pull cables through their walls to get it. The camera must be paired with Eufy’s PoE NVR, which you’ll likewise need to hardwire to your home network. For those unfamiliar with the terms, PoE stands for Power-over-Ethernet (both power and data travel over a single ethernet cable, eliminating the need for an outdoor power outlet), and NVR stands for Network Video Recorder (it’s a similar concept to the DVR–digital video recorder–you might connected to your TV). I evaluated the camera with the Eufy Network Video Recorder S4 I reviewed in July 2025. The Eufy PoE Bullet Security Camera’s video quality in daylight is excellent, with 4K resolution delivering sharp detail and accurate color. Specifications The E40 is a classic bullet-style security cameras built for the outdoors. It has a metal housing and a weatherization rating of IP67, meaning it’s dustproof and can withstand immersion in up to one meter (about 3.3 feet) of water for up to 30 minutes. Want to know more about IP codes? Our IP code guide will tell you everything you need to know. Inside that housing is a 4K single-lens camera with a wide 122-degree field of view. It supports up to 5x digital zoom, letting you focus in on details while reviewing footage. The E40 offers three modes for nighttime coverage: starlight color night vision for low-light scenes, a spotlight-enhanced mode for complete darkness, and a traditional black-and-white infrared mode when you prefer to keep things discreet. The Eufy PoE Cam E40 comes with an ethernet cable, a grommet, and mounting hardware.Michael Ansaldo/Foundry The camera’s on-device AI can distinguish between people, pets, and vehicles, reducing false alarms from passing cars or wandering wildlife. You can further minimize unwanted notifications by setting activity zones and schedules, so it only alerts you when and where you want. For active deterrence, the E40 is equipped with a built-in siren and flashing red and blue lights that mimic police strobes. Two-way audio with noise reduction can also be used to can warn off intruders or speak with visitors. The camera system can be integrated with Amazon Alexa or Google Home, but there’s currently no support for Apple Home. The Eufy Network Video Recorder S4 includes 2TB of local storage (expandable to 16TB) and built-in AI that handles detection and tracking without relying on the cloud. Michael Ansaldo/Foundry Setup and performance Installing the PoE Cam E40 is straightforward, provided you’re comfortable pulling ethernet cable from the camera back to Eufy’s NVR. The included mounting hardware gives you flexibility in positioning the camera, whether you’re attaching it to a wall, under an eave, or on a pole. The Eufy Network Video Recorder S4 comes with 2TB of storage via a mechanical hard drive, and it can be expanded up to 16TB by replacing the factory-installed drive in its single 3.5-inch bay. You’ll likely need more capacity if you elect for 24/7 recording. Setting up the NVR is more involved than a wireless camera install. You’ll need to hardwire it to your router, plug in the included mouse for system control, and hook up a monitor to its HDMI port. It’s then it’s a matter of choosing your camera locations, mounting the brackets, attaching the cameras, and drilling holes in your walls to feed ethernet cables through the provided weatherproof grommets. Once everything’s connected to the NVR, the hard part is over; the system automatically detects the cameras and you can access the system via the monitor, the Eufy app, or Eufy’s web portal. Video quality in daylight is excellent, with 4K resolution delivering sharp detail and accurate color. At night, the starlight sensor produces a clear, colorful image in low-light conditions. When the scene is completely dark, the spotlight mode kicks in to illuminate and capture maximum detail. Infrared mode provides ample light to capture clear black-and-white footage. Eufy’s onboard AI does a solid job of recognizing people, vehicles, and pets, and custom activity zones help reduce false alarms triggered by irrelevant movement. Alerts arrive promptly, and the classification accuracy keeps notifications useful rather than overwhelming. If you’re running multiple cameras, as you most likely will be, you can choose to default to the NVR’s global AI settings, which will override individual camera settings. This makes it easier to apply consistent detection rules across your system without having to configure each camera separately. When deterrence is needed, the flashing red and blue lights demand attention, and the two-way audio is loud and clear enough to startle someone who shouldn’t be there. The Eufy Security app provides full control over the PoE Cam E40, letting you view live feeds, review recordings, adjust video and audio settings, and fine-tune features such as motion detection and lighting.Michael Ansaldo/Foundry The Eufy Security app ties it all together. You’ll use it to view live feeds, scrub through recordings, and manage your video, audio, and notification settings. Streaming over a local network is smooth, and the app gives you direct control over how the camera behaves day to day. Should you buy the Eufy PoE Cam E40? At $130, the Eufy PoE Cam E40 delivers a lot for its price. You get sharp 4K video, reliable AI detection, and built-in deterrence features—all without the ongoing cost of a cloud subscription. Be sure to factor in the cost of the 8-channel (expandable to 16 channels) Eufy Network Video Recorder S4 ($400), because the camera can’t operate without it. If you’re starting from scratch, Eufy also offers the NVR bundled with four E40 cameras for $800, a $119 discount if you’re planning full-home coverage. Eufy offers bundles with combinations of cameras (e.g., you can buy the Eufy NVR with two bullet cameras and two pan/tilt cams for $1,000). You will need to accept some trade-offs. The PoE requirements mean you might need to do a fair amount of drilling and routing if your home isn’t already set up for it. And if you’re in the Apple Home ecosystem, this camera won’t slot into your setup. If you can work within those limits, the Eufy PoE Cam E40 and Eufy Network Video Recorder S4 are a smart buy. The system is built for long-term use, and it provides the kind of always-on security that’s hard to get from battery-powered, wireless alternatives. Read...

In previous versions of Microsoft Outlook (the classic app), you could view the HTML code of an email by opening the email, right-clicking on it, and selecting “View source” from the context menu. This no longer works in the new Outlook app, and it appears that Microsoft has no plans to change this. However, there’s still a way to view the HTML code of an email with a little trick. Here’s how it works: Open the email, then now click on the three-dot menu at the top-right corner to access the email’s context menu. (Make sure you aren’t accidentally accessing the three-dot menu in the toolbar instead!) In the menu, go to Save as > Save as EML and select a destination folder for the resulting file. Next, launch File Explorer and navigate to the destination folder, then right-click on the EML file. Click on Open with > Choose another app and choose a text editor from the app list (e.g., Notepad). In the EML file, scroll down to the line that reads Content-Type: text/html, and after that is where you’ll find the HTML code for that email.
