Fashion Your Firefox

Mozilla says there are around five thousand separate add-ons for the Firefox browser, and over a billion add-ons have been downloaded to date. So now they’ve come up with Fashion Your Firefox, a novel tool to provide users with a custom set of add-ons.

Are you into music? Try the ‘Rock Star’ bundle, as a way to listen to and discover new music. There are also bundles for Decorators, Social Butterflies and others. It’s cute, but also fairly practical, according to David Rolnitzky, program manager in charge of add-ons for Firefox.

"In essence, it’s like having a shopping cart that you can use to select any add-on from the Fashion Your Fox collection, ‘check-out’ with just one click, and after a quick Firefox restart, have a whole new browser that’s made just for you."

Windows 11 to let you use your phone as a webcam

Using an Android phone as a webcam.

The Windows 11 update 24H2 includes a new feature called Connected Camera that lets you turn your smartphone into a webcam. The folks at PCWorld have tested the feature out, and it looks pretty easy to use, though you do need to have an Android phone to use it.

Using your phone as a webcam -- either for your desktop or your laptop -- isn't new, but native support for it has been patchy. At first, people had to use third-party apps to do the job. Then Apple users got Continuity Camera, and a few years later Android 14 users got a similar feature, too.

You’ll soon be able to use a phone without leaving your VR headset

Meta gave the Quest 3S passthrough cameras that are good enough to check my phone without taking the headset off.

The Meta Quest 3S and Quest 3 are two of the best VR headset you can buy, and they'll soon have an interesting new feature that lets you use a Motorola phone without leaving VR. Motorola Smart Connect already lets you mirror your phone to a Windows PC or smart TV. Now, your VR headset is gaining this ability too, but on a huge virtual screen.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared the news at Lenovo's Tech World 2024 event, and also spoke about Meta's Llama model, as spotted by UploadVR. The model is the basis for Lenovo's AI Now, a personal agent for laptops that runs on-device without requiring a cloud connection.

Here’s your chance to win this Gigabyte gaming laptop — a $1,300 value

GIGABYTE 16" Gaming Laptop Giveaway

I remember the days when a gaming laptop, or any laptop really, couldn't hold up against the power and performance of even a low-grade desktop PC. Not that I'm saying I'm older -- I'm middle-aged -- but there was definitely a time when laptops were not what you wanted to use for gaming unless you absolutely had to. That's no longer the case. Today, there are some incredibly powerful laptops that free you to play from just about anywhere, and that's not even including modern PC handhelds. A great example of this is the Gigabyte G6X 9KG gaming laptop which has a GeForce RTX 4060 and supports full ray tracing and Nvidia DLSS. It has enough power to run Black Myth: Wokung without issues and allow me to reiterate, that's possible on a laptop. Pretty impressive.

The best part, however, is that it won't drain your money. The Gigabyte G6X 9KG gaming laptop is only $1,300, but it also offers 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. Better yet, it has user-upgradeable options, as well, so it's flexible and customizable. Today's your lucky day. You have the chance to win this beast directly from Gigabyte. To enter, all you have to do is follow the tasks provided. To do that, or if you want to learn more about this particular Gigabyte gaming laptop, head below.
