1Password's new Windows app, a mini PC for ARM Windows, Joby giveaway, and more

November 17, 2021

Quick show of hands, how many are you using a password manager? Right, that’s not going to work because this is a newsletter. If you aren’t using a password manager, you should be. Every site you hand your favorite password you use everywhere is probably going to get hacked sooner or later. Probably sooner than later. Unique complicated passwords for every site are the only way to stay safe, and a password manager makes that possible.

At Review Geek, one of our favorite password managers is 1Password. As long as you use the extension and download the apps, it works incredibly well—even on Android (which is a rarity). Why the extension on desktop, though? Well, the desktop app for Windows was frankly terrible. So terrible I uninstalled it after a day. Now that may have changed! 1Password released a new Windows app, and it looks much better now. Check it out in the top story.

Other Highlights: 

• One of Google Assistant’s most convenient features is broken on Pixel phones. Woof.
• Yo, this $219 PC looks like the future of Windows on ARM.
• Don’t miss this Joby GorillaPod giveaway.
• …and more! Keep scrolling!

Windows on ARM sucks, mainly because it lacks basic app support. Developers just aren’t interested in spending time on such a niche operating system, especially when the only platform to test Windows on ARM apps is a $1,000 Surface Pro X. But things may change soon thanks to the ECS LIVA Mini Box QC710, a new Snapdragon mini PC that costs just $219. Read More »
