This three-pack of fast Wi-Fi 7 routers is under $200 for the first time
TP-Link claims this array of routers can create a network that covers up to 6,600 square feet, with speeds up to 5Gbps, and with support for over 150 devices at once. The speeds you actually get will, of course, depend on the service you pay for, the layout of your home, and lastly, the kind of Wi-Fi chip that's in your devices. While I don't own any Wi-Fi 7 gadgets yet, these routers have worked wonderfully in a three-floor 3,000-square foot condo.
I've got a mix of gadgets connected to them, including ones that support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, along with smart home accessories. So far, I haven't noticed network congestion issues or dropped connections. Even stress tests, like streaming multiple 4K movies while downloading a larger video game on various gadgets, didn't pose a problem. Similarly, I've never had an issue with a smart thermostat, robot vacuum, speaker, or TV randomly losing its connection.
It took me about half an hour to set up the routers using the required TP-Link Deco app. It may take a little longer than that to tinker with router placement — an annoying, but worthwhile process to get the best speeds. In case you're new to mesh Wi-Fi routers, one of the three in this kit must be wired directly to your cable modem, then the others can be installed anywhere there's a power outlet.

If You'd Invested $1,000 in Palantir Stock 3 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today
Key Points Palantir's AIP contributed to accelerated revenue growth. Its growth has led to a pricey valuation, making its near-term direction less certain. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) stock has been on a tear since last year's U.S. presidential election. Since the election on Nov. 5, the stock is up by about 250%. While that is a considerable return, it is relatively modest compared to how the stock has performed over the last three years, when the market and Palantir were in the middle of a bear market. Amid the rising popularity of AI and its productivity solution, Palantir's returns since that time are nothing short of eye-popping. Palantir over the last three years If one had bought Palantir on Aug. 8, 2022, a $1,000 investment would be worth about $15,700 today. Three years ago, a dramatic pullback from the highs of the 2021 bull market left Palantir trading below $10 per share, the approximate level where it sold on its first day of trading on Sept. 30, 2020. Additionally, it got off to a slow start as it briefly fell below $6 per share in December 2022. Nonetheless, Palantir began moving higher in 2023, particularly after Open AI's release of an upgraded version of ChatGPT put the spotlight on generative AI. Palantir responded with its own generative AI solution, the artificial intelligence platform (AIP), in April 2023. Customers began reporting massive productivity gains. Over time, the stock's growth accelerated as revenue growth began to rise at a significantly faster rate. Consequently, the stock reached stratospheric highs, with a P/E ratio approaching 600. Although such earnings multiples can be common with growth stocks, its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 130 all but verifies that the market has priced the stock for perfection. That increases the odds of a dramatic fall at the slightest hint of bad news. However, few can deny the success of Palantir's investors over the last three years. Even if its near-term prospects are less clear, Palantir should succeed long term, since its tools have delivered massive productivity gains for its customers. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now? Before you buy stock in Palantir Technologies, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Palantir Technologies wasn't one of them.

Windows 11's New Mouse Options, Updated Settings App, and More: Windows Wednesday
Welcome back to Windows Wednesday, where we round up everything Microsoft rolled out in Windows over the past week. Here's everything that showed up across the Insider channels and release versions this week. You can join the Windows Insider program to try out experimental features, but some changes are on a gradual rollout and not yet available to all Insider program members. You should not install Windows Insider builds on an important computer. Input Microsoft was testing a new pointer indicator accessibility setting last year, and the feature has now returned in the Canary Channel. This adds red crosshairs to your cursor, so it's easier to find on a monitor. It can be enabled from Settings > Accessibility > Mouse pointer and touch > Pointer indicator, and afterwards it can be toggled with the Win+Ctrl+X keyboard shortcut. Microsoft said in a blog post, 'Low vision users on Windows can now easily locate and use their cursor. This will allow these users to be more productive and efficient when using a Windows device.' This reminds me of the virtual crosshairs found in some gaming monitors, but those are fixed to the center of the screen, while the Windows 11 feature moves with your mouse cursor. It's also a bit like the feature on macOS where the cursor will temporarily grow in size if you move it around quickly. Settings In the Dev Channel, Microsoft is removing the 'Manage or clear your Bing search history' option from Settings > Privacy & security > Search under Search history. You can still edit your Bing activity from the Privacy dashboard, linked in the Related settings on that settings page. The history page on the Bing website should also work the same way, as long as you're logged into the same Microsoft account as your PC. In the Canary Channel, the search box in Settings is moving to the top center of the window, which Microsoft says will 'deliver a more consistent and better search experience.' It was previously located in the left sidebar, under your profile picture and name. Microsoft already showed this off as part of the advanced Settings search on Copilot+ PCs, but now the updated design should appear on all PCs. File Explorer If your Windows PC is logged into a work or school account with Entra ID, the File Explorer already shows recently-changed files in the Home page. Now, Microsoft is adding user icons to that section, so you can more quickly recognize each person in the activity. This uses the person's Live Persona Card from the Microsoft 365 organizations. Home installations of Windows 11 still don't have these File Explorer features, but if you have a PC managed by your workplace or school, you might notice the new icons. This is rolling out in the Dev Channel. Source: Windows Insider Blog (1, 2, 3)

Lovense's Gemini Sex Toy Offers a Fresh Sensation in the Bedroom—No AI Needed
I've never had particularly sensitive nipples—except for the first time I went to a clothing-optional beach and failed to use enough sunblock—so I was excited to give the Lovense Gemini a try. No, it has nothing to do with Google's AI chatbot. These are vibrating nipple clamps from Lovense, and I've had great experience with many of the company's sex toys. Many of my partners have had sensitive nipples, so I was curious if I could join the ranks with the Gemini. Usually sold for less than $80, they're an inexpensive way to spice up the bedroom. Great for Enthusiasts and Beginners Courtesy of Amazon After I fully charged the Gemini, which takes about an hour or so, I used it on myself. What I love is that I can clip the base of the clamps to my bra (there's also a cord you can put around your neck if you don't wear a bra), making them 100 percent hands-free. The Gemini is app-controlled (Android, iOS), so I can lie back and play with the slew of intensities and patterns—surprisingly fun even though I was solo. When I added a bullet vibrator to the mix, the vibrations all over made everything even more exciting in a low-key, kinky sort of way. I also appreciate that the clamps are adjustable, so if you love a tight squeeze, a barely there hold, or somewhere in between, you have options. Unlike some of the more intimate toys I've reviewed, like the Luxus Couples Vibrator or the Lelo Ora 3, I was able to get input from a handful of people with the Gemini. Especially people I know who really (like, really ) love nipple play. As much as I enjoyed the vibrations and found the sensation interesting, the Gemini made me realize that, ultimately, I prefer that my nipples get attention from a partner's tongue or with a slight graze of their teeth. Of the three nipple-play aficionados I used the Gemini with—one straight and two gay men—all of them became immediate fans of the toy. They liked the hands-free design and the simplicity of the Lovense Remote app. To paint a picture of this experiment, I had the app in hand, and three men sat on the couch across from me, waiting for their turn to try the Gemini. (It's the closest I'll probably ever get to an orgy.) Each man had a different preference in intensity and patterns, as well as the tightness of the clamps, so I was able to see just how much the Gemini can be the perfect fit for anyone who's into nipple play. Easy to Use The Gemini is well-built, too. Not only is it waterproof—for all those times you're craving a proper buzz on your nips while in the shower—but you also get a whopping two hours of run time when it's fully charged. The device is discreet, in case you're into public play where one partner enjoys the vibrations, while the other controls what they want you to feel.
