How to Easily Connect Your Laptop to Your TV
There are a few drawbacks though. Text can look tiny from a distance input lag may affect gaming and using your couch as a desk chair might not be ideal for your posture. You'll also need to figure out how to handle your keyboard and mouse setup. Still using your TV as a monitor can be a smart and low-cost upgrade especially if you already have the cables or gear you need.
Mirroring vs. extending
Mirroring means putting the same content on both your laptop's screen and the TV. It's more common and generally easier than screen extending -- where you see different content on both, making the TV an extension of your laptop's screen. Extending is useful for things like having a YouTube video running on the TV while you're working on a spreadsheet on your laptop. It's a bit more involved but still possible depending on your equipment. Mostly, we'll be talking about mirroring in this article.

The easiest way: Wired HDMI
The most basic PC-to-TV connection consists of running a wire from your computer to the HDMI input on your TV. If you have an older TV and an older laptop, there are options like VGA, but that's basically the Dark Ages at this point.
Laptops and PCs have a bunch of different connections, so which wire or adapter you'll need to run depends on what computer you have. If you're not sure, check the manual or Google the model to determine its specs. Here's the rundown.

From top to bottom: HDMI, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort connectors.
Sarah Tew/CNET
Full-size HDMI: If you're lucky, your laptop has a full-sized HDMI output, so you can use a standard HDMI cable to run to your TV.
Mini- or micro-HDMI: These smaller versions of HDMI just need an adapter, or a cable that has a regular HDMI at the other end, to connect directly to your TV.
Thunderbolt, DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort: All of these usually work with HDMI as well. Thunderbolt is found on many laptops. The first two versions of the connector were the same as Mini DisplayPort, so Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI cables or adapters should work. Newer versions use the same connectors as USB-C (see the next section). Full-sized DisplayPort is common to Windows PCs. Again, you'll need an adapter or cable with this type of connection on one end and HDMI on the other.
USB-C port: Many modern laptops have only this kind of connection. Usually you'll just need an adapter (USB-C to HDMI) and it will work fine, but sometimes it might not work at all. MacBooks from the last few years should work, as will Microsoft Surface laptops and many others. Note that USB-C uses the same physical connection as Apple's Thunderbolt 3. Check your computer's specs to double-check what connector/adapter you might need.
A USB-C-to-HDMI cable, and the various devices that it's possible to connect.
HDMI Licensing
More wired tips: There are so many varieties of laptops out there, we can't make a blanket statement that a particular adapter will work for your PC. If you're not sure, Google your brand and model before you buy any kind of adapter.
Also, in some cases the quality might be diminished. You also won't likely get HDR or 4K resolution, for example, so if you want the best image quality for videos, you should use a different method to get the videos to your TV, like a Roku or Blu-ray player.

Wireless connections
There are a few options to skip the wires completely. Again, it depends on what computer you have, as well as the capabilities of your TV (or the streaming device connected to your TV).
If you have an Apple computer: The easiest way is to use AirPlay. But you'll need a device that supports it, namely:
Apple TV 4K
A TV that's Air Play 2 compatible from popular brands like Samsung, Sony, LG or Vizio.
If you have a Windows PC: There's something called Miracast, though it's not as widespread as "all recent Apple products" like AirPlay. Your Windows laptop should have the tech built-in. On the TV side, devices that support Miracast include:
The Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter looks like just a cable, but has the wireless receiver inside, powered by your TV's USB port.
Microsoft
If you have a Chromebook: Computers that run Google's Chrome OS can send content to a TV wirelessly too. To use it you'll need:
Casting from a Chrome browser: If you don't have a TV device with AirPlay or Miracast compatibility you can still mirror your screen from the Chrome browser on any laptop. It works with any of the devices from the Chromebook list above. Only content on the browser will be visible, and certain websites won't work.
You can also "cast" content from a variety of mobile apps, like Netflix or YouTube, to most smart TVs. This isn't screen mirroring, but if you're just looking to get some content from your phone to a bigger screen, this is an easy way to do it.
Google Chromecast lets you mirror your Chrome browser page on any TV for $35.
Sarah Tew/CNET
If your intention is to play games, the lag from a wireless connection is probably going to prohibit any fun with games that require fast and accurate clicking, like with first-person shooters and racing games.
Accessories
If you want to up your game a bit, consider a few optional accessories. A wireless keyboard or mouse can go a long way toward making your PC-on-TV experience easier. Here's a couple inexpensive options.
Sarah Tew/CNET Wireless keyboard Logitech K380
Put your laptop someplace to charge, and just keep a small, light keyboard on your lap. We like the Bluetooth Logitech K380 not least for its long battery life, but also its ability to toggle between devices, like from your laptop to your tablet. $55 at Amazon
Logitech Wireless mouse Logitech M590 Multi-device Silent
There are a lot of wireless mouse options, but I like this one because it's comfortable, and more importantly, quiet. Instead of click-click-click, it sounds more like a light tapping on a table. $37 at Amazon
Settings tips
Your TV and your laptop's screen are probably different resolutions. In theory this won't be an issue, but if you're finding text hard to read, or overall the image looks poor, make sure the laptop's output matches your TV's resolution.
It's easy to do on both Windows and Mac. If you're also trying to send audio, that might need to be switched on as well, either by clicking the speaker button in the lower right on Windows, or in System Preferences on Mac.
On the TV side, make sure you disable your TV's overscan. It might be disabled automatically, but if the edges of your desktop are cutoff, dig deep into your TV's menus for something like "size" or "zoom." If you're gaming, also see if your TV has a game mode. This should help reduce input lag, the delay between you pressing a button and that action showing up on screen. It's also a good idea to lower the sharpness control. I mean, in general this is a good idea, but here specifically it should help you make out fine details better, like text.
A TV's sharpness control usually just increases artificial edge enhancement, masking fine details and adding noise. Note the "halo" around the objects in the version on the right.
Geoffrey Morrison/CNET
Speaking of text, if you're trying to work from your couch it's likely that despite the extra screen size, text is still too small. If that's the case, you can adjust text size on Windows and Mac. You can also use the zoom controls in certain apps, like Chrome browsers.
If you're not getting an image on screen at all, try unplugging the HDMI and plugging it back in (with the TV on), and if that doesn't work, leave it all plugged in but turn the TV off then on. This is trite advice for a reason: it solves so many issues.
Good luck, and if you have any favorite PC-to-TV tips, let us know in the comments.

Palo Alto Networks Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results
Fiscal fourth quarter revenue grew 16% year over year to $2.5 billion. Fiscal year 2025 revenue grew 15% year over year to $9.2 billion. Next-Generation Security ARR grew 32% year over year to $5.6 billion. Remaining performance obligation grew 24% year over year to $15.8 billion. SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks® (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, announced today financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year, ended July 31, 2025. Total revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 grew 16% year over year to $2.5 billion, compared with total revenue of $2.2 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. GAAP net income for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was $253.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $357.7 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal fourth quarter 2025 was $673.0 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $522.2 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the fiscal fourth quarter 2024. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables below. "Our strong execution in Q4 reflects a fundamental market shift in which customers understand that a fragmented defense is no defense at all against modern threats. They are partnering with us because our platforms are designed to work in concert, creating powerful operational synergies that deliver superior, near real-time outcomes and the efficiency our customers need," said Nikesh Arora, chairman and CEO of Palo Alto Networks. "We exited fiscal year 2025 with an acceleration in RPO, and surpassed the $10 billion revenue run-rate milestone, positioning ourselves well for sustained growth ahead." "Our strong top-line results were complemented by continued operating efficiency and strong free cash flow generation, making us a 'Rule-of-50' company for the fifth consecutive year," said Dipak Golechha, chief financial officer of Palo Alto Networks. "We are excited to carry this momentum into fiscal year 2026, where we will continue to execute against our profitable growth framework." Financial Outlook Palo Alto Networks provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. For the fiscal first quarter 2026, we expect: Next-Generation Security ARR of $5.82 billion to $5.84 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 29%. Remaining performance obligation of $15.4 billion to $15.5 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 23%. Total revenue in the range of $2.45 billion to $2.47 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 15%. Diluted non-GAAP net income per share in the range of $0.88 to $0.90, using 709 million to 712 million shares outstanding. For the fiscal year 2026, we expect: Next-Generation Security ARR of $7.00 billion to $7.10 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 26% and 27%. Remaining performance obligation of $18.6 billion to $18.7 billion, representing year-over-year growth of between 17% and 18%. Total revenue in the range of $10.475 billion to $10.525 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 14%. Non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 29.2% to 29.7%. Diluted non-GAAP net income per share in the range of $3.75 to $3.85, using 710 million to 716 million shares outstanding. Adjusted free cash flow margin in the range of 38.0% to 39.0%. Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes share-based compensation-related charges, including share-based payroll tax expense, acquisition-related costs, including change in fair value of contingent consideration liability, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, litigation-related charges, including legal settlements, non-cash charges related to convertible notes, and income tax and other tax adjustments related to our long-term non-GAAP effective tax rate, along with certain non-recurring expenses and certain non-recurring cash flows. We have not reconciled non-GAAP operating margin guidance to GAAP operating margin, diluted non-GAAP net income per share guidance to GAAP net income per diluted share or adjusted free cash flow margin guidance to GAAP net cash from operating activities because we do not provide guidance on GAAP operating margin, GAAP net income or net cash from operating activities and would not be able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain or out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including share-based compensation expense, without unreasonable effort. The actual amounts of such reconciling items will have a significant impact on the company's GAAP net income per diluted share and GAAP net cash from operating activities. Earnings Call Information Palo Alto Networks will host a video webcast for analysts and investors to discuss the company's fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 results as well as the outlook for its fiscal first quarter and fiscal year 2026 today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time/1:30 p.m. Pacific time.

Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons that are beyond our control and changing rapidly. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements made or implied in this press release, including: developments and changes in general or worldwide market, geopolitical, economic, and business conditions; failure of our platformization product offerings; failure to successfully integrate acquisitions or achieve the expected benefits of our strategic partnerships and acquisitions, including the proposed transaction with CyberArk Software Ltd. ("CyberArk"); changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability associated with acquisitions; the risk that the conditions to the proposed transaction with CyberArk are not satisfied on a timely basis, or at all, or the failure of the proposed transaction with CyberArk to close for any other reason or to close on the anticipated terms; significant and/or unanticipated difficulties, liabilities or expenditures relating to the transaction with CyberArk; the effect of the announcement, pendency or completion of the proposed transaction with CyberArk on our and CyberArk's business and our common share price or CyberArk's ordinary share price; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction with CyberArk; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us, CyberArk or our respective directors; risks associated with managing our growth; risks associated with new product, subscription and support offerings, including our product offerings that leverage AI; shifts in priorities or delays in the development or release of new product or subscription or other offerings, or the failure to timely develop and achieve market acceptance of new products and subscriptions as well as existing products, subscriptions and support offerings; failure of our business strategies; rapidly evolving technological developments in the market for security products, subscriptions and support offerings; defects, errors, or vulnerabilities in our products, subscriptions or support offerings; our customers' purchasing decisions and the length of sales cycles; our competition; our ability to attract and retain new customers; our ability to acquire and integrate other companies, products, or technologies in a successful manner; our debt repayment obligations; and our share repurchase program, which may not be fully consummated or enhance shareholder value, and any share repurchases which could affect the price of our common stock. For additional risks and uncertainties on these and other factors that could affect our financial results and cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements we make in this press release are included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 21, 2025, which is available on our website at and on the SEC's website at Additional information will also be set forth in other documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC from time to time. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on our current beliefs and information available to management as of the date hereof and are inherently uncertain, and we do not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics Palo Alto Networks has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures and other key metrics internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics are helpful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing the company's financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures or key metrics. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the company's historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations. Non-GAAP net income and net income per share, diluted. Palo Alto Networks defines non-GAAP net income as net income plus share-based compensation-related charges, including share-based payroll tax expense, acquisition-related costs, including change in fair value of contingent consideration liability, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, litigation-related charges, including legal settlements, and non-cash charges related to convertible notes. The company also excludes from non-GAAP net income tax adjustments related to our long-term non-GAAP effective tax rate in order to provide a complete picture of the company's recurring core business operating results. The company defines non-GAAP net income per share, diluted, as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, which includes the potentially dilutive effect of the company's employee equity incentive plan awards and the company's convertible senior notes and related warrants, after giving effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the company's note hedge agreements, which reduced the potential economic dilution that otherwise would have occurred in connection with the conversion and settlement of the company's convertible senior notes. Under GAAP, the anti-dilutive impact of the note hedge is not reflected in diluted shares outstanding. The company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors for the same reasons that it uses non-GAAP operating margin. Next-Generation Security ARR. Palo Alto Networks defines Next-Generation Security ARR as the annualized allocated revenue of all active contracts as of the final day of the reporting period related to all product, subscription and support offerings, excluding revenue from hardware products, and legacy attached subscriptions, support offerings and professional services. The company considers Next-Generation Security ARR to be a useful operating metric for management and investors to assess the performance of the company because Next-Generation Security is where the company has focused its innovation and the company expects its overall revenue to be disproportionately driven by this Next-Generation Security portfolio. Because Next-Generation Security ARR does not have the effect of providing a numerical measure that is different from any comparable GAAP measure, the company does not consider it a non-GAAP measure. Investors are cautioned that there are a number of limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics as analytical tools. Many of the adjustments to the company's GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the company's financial results for the foreseeable future, such as share-based compensation, which is an important part of Palo Alto Networks' employees' compensation and impacts their performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP, and the components that Palo Alto Networks excludes in its calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP results of operations. Palo Alto Networks compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. In the future, the company may also exclude non-recurring expenses and other expenses that do not reflect the company's core business operating results.

Acquisition of Zemetric, Inc. Following the close of the second quarter, Blink announced its acquisition of Zemetric, Inc., a charging infrastructure company with tailored solutions for fleets, multi-family, and commercial applications. Zemetric brings market-leading hardware, software and service solutions designed and built to be interoperable and highly reliable to scale electrification.

Envoy Technologies Update On August 6, 2025, Blink announced that it has reached an agreement with the former shareholders of its wholly owned subsidiary, Envoy Technologies, Inc. ('Envoy'), a leading provider of on-demand electric vehicle car-sharing services for real estate companies, to amend the organization's planned merger agreement. The amended agreement releases Blink from all payment obligations and liability following the issuance of $10 million in shares of Company common stock, based on the volume-weighted average trading price for the 25 trading days preceding the issuance date, and warrants exercisable for shares of Company common stock with an aggregate notional value of $11 million, divided into three tranches with vesting conditions as follows: $2.5 million worth of warrants that will vest upon the common stock of Blink reaching a price per share of $1.70 for seven consecutive days; $2.5 million worth of warrants that will vest upon the common stock of Blink reaching a price per share of $2.10 for seven consecutive days; and $6 million worth of warrants that will vest upon the common stock of Blink reaching a price per share of $4.85 for seven consecutive days. These warrants will expire 20 months after their issuance date. Further details of the agreement may be found here. Business Outlook Based on current visibility, Blink expects to achieve continued sequential revenue growth in the second half of 2025. Looking ahead, the Company expects to maintain strong momentum across both its recurring and repeatable charging revenue streams. Recurring revenues, derived primarily from network fees, are expected to benefit from the expanding installed base of chargers. At the same time, the Company expects growth in repeatable charging revenue as it scales its EV charging infrastructure, driven by increased utilization and rising energy prices. The Company remains committed to advancing operational efficiency through disciplined expense management and targeted initiatives aimed at lowering operating costs and reducing cash burn. These efforts are central to the Company's strategy to strengthen the business model and define a clear path to profitability.

To facilitate external analysis of the Company's operating performance, Blink Charging also presents financial information that is considered 'non-GAAP financial measures' under Regulation G and related reporting requirements promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, Net Income (Loss) or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than those presented by other companies, including Blink Charging's competitors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are therefore considered non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation tables are presented above. EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) attributable to Blink Charging before interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Blink Charging believes EBITDA is useful to its management, securities analysts, and investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company's operations, including its ability to obtain and maintain its customers, its ability to operate its business effectively, the efficiency of its employees and the profitability associated with their performance. It also helps Blink Charging's management, securities analysts, and investors to meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of the Company's operations from period to period on a consistent basis by removing the impact of its merger and acquisition expenses, financing transactions, and the depreciation and amortization impact of capital investments from its operating results. The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA, defined as EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring or non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, estimated loss related to sale of underperforming assets of subsidiary, change in fair value related to consideration payable, and assets impairment is useful to securities analysts and investors to evaluate the Company's core operating results and financial performance because it excludes items that are significant non-cash or non-recurring expenses reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as Net Loss, and Diluted Earnings per Share.

Utility to buy power from advanced nuclear plant to power Tennessee and Alabama Google data centers
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The nation's largest public utility plans to buy power from an upcoming advanced nuclear plant to help fuel Google data centers in Tennessee and Alabama, according to a deal announced Monday. The Tennessee Valley Authority, California-based Kairos Power and Google say the agreement will deliver up to 50 megawatts of energy to the federal utility's grid that powers the data centers. The announcement comes at a time when tech companies expect to require a massive amount of power to fuel data centers behind artificial intelligence, and some of them have been especially interested in new nuclear production. President Donald Trump released a plan last month to boost AI and build data centers across the U.S. and in May signed executive orders aimed at boosting nuclear power. TVA says it is the first U.S. utility to sign a power purchase agreement to buy electricity from a next-generation nuclear reactor. It would rely on the Hermes 2 reactor in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, which is scheduled to begin operations in 2030. The agreement will power data centers in Montgomery County, Tennessee, and Jackson County, Alabama, and support future growth in the region, the news release said. Google will receive clean energy credits associated with the plant. 'This collaboration with TVA, Kairos Power, and the Oak Ridge community will accelerate the deployment of innovative nuclear technologies and help support the needs of our growing digital economy while also bringing firm carbon-free energy to the electricity system,' Amanda Peterson Corio, Google's global head of data center energy, said in the news release. Hermes 2 is the first reactor under a deal between Kairos Power and Google to bring on 500 megawatts of new, advanced nuclear power production to help cover the tech giant's increased demand for electricity. The new kind of nuclear reactor uses fluoride salt-cooled, high-temperature reactor technology. It uses molten salt as a coolant. Another test version of the plant in Oak Ridge, named Hermes, does not produce electricity. The Hermes 2 plant received a construction permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in November. The plant still has more steps to complete, including an application for an operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Many next-generation reactors, including Kairos' Hermes 2, will use high-assay low-enriched uranium. The fuel is enriched to a higher level than traditional large nuclear reactors use, allowing the newer reactors to run longer and more efficiently, sit on smaller footprints and produce less waste, according to the Department of Energy. There's little of it made in the United States right now. But companies are investing to ramp up production, including in Oak Ridge. The Tennessee Valley Authority powers 10 million people across seven southern states.
