Why you should use a portable monitor with your desktop PC, Windows 11 God mode, Martian ketchup, and more

November 26, 2021

Welcome back from Thanksgiving; I hope you have lots of turkey leftovers!

Are you using a desktop PC right now? How many monitors do you have? The perfect number is debatable, I know, but I’d like to propose a different question. What kind of monitors are you using? No, not the brand—the type. You probably have at least one average monitor, the kind that comes on a stand or you can mount.

And you should have at least one of those. But do you know what else you should have in your desktop setup? A portable monitor. No seriously! Sure, most people think portable monitors are just for laptops on the go. But here at Review Geek, we believe portable monitors are also great for in the office. Check out the top story to see why.

Other Highlights:

• Did you know that, like its predecessors, Windows 11 has a God mode? Here’s how to activate it.
• These concept EVs look amazingly comfy.
• Check out this “Martian” ketchup from Heinz. Admit it; you want to try it on a space burger.
• …and more! Keep scrolling!

Space may well be the final frontier but it’s a great place to make ketchup. Astrobiologists just grew tomatoes in Mars-like conditions (as in here on Earth, not actually on Mars), and while the unique condiment won’t be up for sale, just know that they did pass Heinz’s quality tests. Read More »
