Gizmodoa day ago

Keeping your most important files safe can be a bit of a hassle if you have multiple computers and multiple hard drives. Plus, traditional hard drives can be slow, bulky, and vulnerable to bumps and drops. Not exactly the kind of risks anyone wants to take when it comes to managing data. That's where solid-state drives (SSDs), especially those like this SanDisk portable SSD, come in. And if you don't already have one, it might be time that you changed that, especially since you can save some cash right now.
See at Amazon
Right now, you can check out Amazon to get the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD for just $145, down from its usual price of $210. That's $65 off and a discount of 31%.
Super storage at an even better price
This hard drive is perfect for anyone on the go or those who like to make sure they've got all their important files with them at all times. That's because it's fast and reliable. It's compact enough to slip into your pocket, and its rubberized exterior gives it a grip-friendly, shock-resistant finish that doesn't feel delicate. According to SanDisk, it's also drop-rated up to three meters and boasts an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance. In other words, this drive can take a licking and keep on ticking.
It has up to 1,050MB/s read and 1,000MB/s write speeds, so you get near-instant file transfers, assuming your device supports USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 or better. That makes it perfect for moving large 4K videos, photo libraries, or other large to enormous files without waiting around. And because it's bus-powered, you won't need to fumble with external power cords or bulky adapters. You can just plug it in and let it ride.
It's compatible with Windows, macOS, and other devices, and has a five-year limited warranty. For many, it's the kind of tool that just becomes essential over time. You might start using it for work, then travel, then everyday backups, and suddenly you're wondering how you ever managed without it. And for good reason. It's super handy to have around!
Since you can get it for under $200 right now, you definitely should. Don't wait around, though, as it will likely go out of stock. Whether you're upgrading your current setup or investing in better protection for your digital files, this is a smart move that could pay off the next time you need fast, reliable storage. Even if it's just a bunch of pictures of you and your dog.

What The CPI Inflation Numbers Mean For The Future

The Consumer Price Index numbers for May came out on Wednesday. The seasonally adjusted number was up 0.1% in May, a drop from April's 0.2%. except for March, it was the lowest monthly inflation figure since July 2024. Over the last 12 months, inflation was 2.4% before seasonal adjustment. There is volatility over time, but also a downward trend line, even if it hasn't dropped fast enough for people's tastes. Below is a graph from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, showing year-over-year comparisons. Year-over-year changes in the CPI Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis The news was good, at least in theory and at a high level. At a more detailed look, perhaps not. Other issues — tariffs, rising deficit spending, and spending cuts for important common good activities — combine with inflation to create greater uncertainty in the near future and the potential for a recession. Here Are The CPI Details That Affect You CPI at the headline level sounds good. Details are, on the whole, more discouraging. Here are some product categories where inflation was much higher: All are necessities, if not for everyone, for many millions. Other items helped keep the headline inflation down: The moderating factors don't necessarily remove the burden of the items with greater inflation, depending on how households spend and experience inflation. Near Future Effects On Inflation 'Shelter and energy are going to keep the disinflation trend intact,' wrote Jamie Cox, managing partner for Harris Financial Group, in a note. 'Prices are moving down in two of the largest categories, so investors should expect further declines in inflation in the coming months. 'However, CPI remains above 2% and even though the tariff rates are going to be less than originally feared, after they are implemented, they will further increase the cost of goods,' wrote Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Northlight Asset Management, in a second note. 'Because of this and the tariff pause that's scheduled to be lifted next month, we are still cautious, but many of the risks that were present in early April, appear to be receding at this time.' As Oxford Economics noted, the May CPI data have been 'encouraging, but unlikely the new norm.' For example, the administration announced a temporary trade truce — again — with China following talks in London. This time, tariffs will be 55%. That's a blended number and includes 20% tariffs on fentanyl, a 10% reciprocal tariffs, and then an average 25% for tariffs already in place before this year, according to a MarketWatch report. The congressional spending bill is likely going to send spending and the deficit up, which will also provide inflationary pressure. While the headline numbers sound like a reprieve, it probably won't be ultimately.

Microsoft Installs Emergency Update On Windows PCs

Emergency update is now being installed. Another month, another emergency update for Windows users. After issuing several out-of-band updates to address update fails in May (1,2), here we are again in June. Only now, 'this OOB update downloads and installs automatically,' Microsoft says. Per Windows Latest which was first to report the initial problem and the response, this follows the June update failing to install on some PCs, primarily those with Easy Anti Cheat gaming software. 'As we suspected, something seemed odd with Windows 11 24H2 KB5060842 when Microsoft had paused the rollout briefly.' That interlude allowed a patch to be applied to the standard update, but this didn't work. Instead Microsoft withheld the update from affected PCs, which will now receive the emergency update instead. 'Windows users likely didn't experience this issue,' the Windows-maker says, because the standard update was not offered to at-risk PCs. According to Windows Latest, users had reported that 'the update showed up, but kept failing with the message: 'Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80073712)'.' Microsoft then confirmed 'compatibility issues' and applied a fix. But when the fix also failed, 'Microsoft made the final call to yank the buggy patch (KB5060842) because it wouldn't install, and replace it with [the new emergency update] KB5063060.' It's now clear this 'major issue' with June's Patch Tuesday 'causes PCs to reboot unexpectedly when launching games using Easy Anti-Cheat, such as Fortnite.' The emergency replacement for the Patch Tuesday update includes all cumulative fixes as well as the compatibility workaround. Microsoft says the OOB update 'downloads and installs automatically from Windows Update and Microsoft Update on devices with Easy Anti-Cheat installed and on devices that have not installed KB506842 yet.'
