With a compact design, this station can charge up to nine devices at a time. There are three AC outlets on its sides and six USB ports on the front. The fast-charging 100W Type-C ports are at the very top, followed by another couple of 15W Type-C ports just below, and two USB-A ports with a max 12W output underneath.
This means you can plug in your monitors, your laptop, and charge a bunch of gadgets at the same time. Instead of taking up a ton of space on your desk, this Anker charging station has a 3.15×3.15-inch base and it's just 4 inches tall.
Another thing that earns this station extra brownie points is the fact that it comes with a 5-foot cable with a flat plug, which makes it super easy to fit behind furniture.
And did we mention it's only $36 to buy right now? That's the best price we've seen this available for, and you should definitely check it out. Prime Day is starting next week and we already found a bunch of impressive early deals on chargers and power banks that you can check out.

This week, Adam and Will have a couple of revelations: AMD and Sony's upscaling partnership, and a startling challenge to a long-held belief about Windows. Oh, and it's time to expand our gaming backlogs via a Steam sale again.
Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser that was first introduced in March 2016. Apple designed ?Safari Technology Preview? to allow users to test features that are planned for future release versions of the Safari browser.
Granted, that's still hitting at about average pricing for a 27-inch OLED monitor with a 2560×1440 resolution at the moment. But it's the speed that's particularly notable. At 480Hz with a .03ms response time, the Sony Inzone M10S is approximately twice as fast as comparable monitors. It'll pump out frames so quickly that even a beefy gaming PC will struggle to keep up with it in just about any recent 3D game.
In his review for PCWorld, Matt Smith praised the monitor's speed and image quality, but lamented its lack of USB-C ports (so not a great pairing with a gaming laptop) and high price. At least one of those issues is fixed with a lower price. For the sake of comparison, even LG's similar 27-inch, 480Hz OLED (which appears to be using the same screen panel) is $140 more expensive on Amazon right now.
I'd use the savings to get a nice VESA monitor arm, though the Sony design has an unusually small and unobtrusive base. If you're in the mood for something else, be sure to check out PCWorld's picks for the best gaming monitors.

The Golden Globes is expanding beyond film and TV with a new category. It will dole out an award for the best podcast of the year starting at next January's ceremony. Organizers told Variety that the idea was to recognize the influence and reach of podcasts within the spectrum of entertainment.
Six finalists will be selected from the 25 most popular podcasts across audio and video formats (sorry, middle-aged dads who spent hundreds of dollars on recording gear to grouse about their team in their basement studios). So it's likely that more celebrities could appear on the show.
Amy Poehler and Trevor Noah have podcasts that are among the 25 largest in the US on Spotify. SmartLess — the show hosted by actors Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes — is on the list too. As such, the best podcast award feels like a ploy by the Golden Globes to get more stars on the show, which would make it quite funny if, say, The Daily won instead.
It feels like an odd move for the Golden Globes (which started handing out an award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement last year) to wade into the podcasting world. Still, it's nice to see a mainstream awards ceremony shining a spotlight on podcasts. There are dedicated awards shows for podcasts, but the Golden Globes is putting them on a bigger stage.
Other awards shows have been refining their category lineups. We'll soon start seeing a long-overdue category for
YouTube has launched an experimental Premium plan that would let you and another person in your household share one discounted subscription. First reported by Moneycontrol, the online video platform is currently piloting the test option in India, Taiwan, Hong Kong and France. To be able to opt for the subscription tier, you and your companion have to be 13-years-old and above and have Google accounts that are part of one Google family group.
The plan's pricing will, of course, cost you less than if you're paying for two Premium accounts. In India, the two-person plan costs Rs 219 per month ($2.60), which is less than the Rs 298 ($3.53) you'd pay for two individual plans and the Rs 299 ($3.54) you'd pay for a 5-person Family subscription. YouTube has been pushing for the adoption of its paid Premium plans in recent years by offering perks like enhanced 1080p for full-priced subscriptions and launching a cheaper Premium Lite option with reduced ads. The full-priced, ad-free Premium plan costs at least $14 a month in the US.
To prevent viewers from being able to watch videos ad-free without paying, and to urge them to sign up for Premium subscriptions, YouTube even launched "a global effort" to crack down on ad blockers back in 2023. This experimental plan puts Premi
