Heres a spot of bad news for those looking to upgrade to the forthcoming PS5 Pro. The console isnt compatible with pre-existing PlayStation 5 faceplates, as reported by IGN and confirmed by Sony. This is not entirely unexpected, given that the PS5 Pro is slightly thinner when compared to the original PS5. A Reddit user named Zrorro tried out some Cobalt blue plates on the PS5 Pro and concluded that the top plates dont match because while they're physically the same size, the teeth that connect to the system are [in] slightly different places. So you can't connect the top part. PlayStation 5 Pro does not work with the slim plates. byu/Zrorro inplaystation Sony confirmed the story, telling IGN that "PS5 console covers are not compatible with PS5 Pro." However, its not all bad news. The company is currently working on faceplates specifically for the expensive new console. Its also highly likely that third-party accessory makers will come to the rescue sooner rather than later. In the meantime, youll just have to make do with a plain-looking PS5 Pro. The console costs $700, so you probably wont even have the money for any accessories immediately after making that purchase. The PS5 Pro will be available on November 7.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/playstation-5-faceplates-arent-compatible-with-the-ps5-pro-163046554.html?src=rss

Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025, which is less than a year from now. This means that the operating system wont be getting anymore crucial security updates past that date. However, Microsoft just announced an Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for regular users that will let people purchase a one-year extension for $30. ESU programs have long been in place for commercial entities, but this is the first one intended for personal use. For $30, Windows 10 diehards will get a full year of security updates, bug fixes and technical support. Enrollment doesnt start until next year, as we get closer to that end of support date. Its worth noting that this is only a one-year option. Commercial ESU users can purchase up to three years of support, which brings them all the way to 2028. However, commercial licenses are more expensive and double in price every year until 2028. Personal users just get the year, but that $30 price is right. Microsoft isnt entirely heartless. Windows 10 will continue to receive security intelligence updates for Defender Antivirus until at least October 2028. More than anything, though, the company wants people to give up on the relatively antiquated Windows 10 and move onto Windows 11. With the Windows 10 End of Support moment, now is the time to move to Windows 11 with confidence. We understand change is never easy, but we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Thank you for your passion and loyalty for Windows, the company wrote in a blog post. Once upon a time, Microsoft called Windows 10 the "last version of Windows." Things didn't exactly work out that way.

We're racing toward the giving time of year and what better way to treat a loved one (or even yourself) than with the gift of time and convenience. Robot mops and vacuums can all but wipe out the time you spend on a chore that often has to be taken care of. An entry-level Roomba has dropped to a price that may make that proposition even more enticing for newcomers to the robot-cleaner world. The Y011 Roomba Combo Robot Vacuum and Mop from iRobot has dropped to $160. Thats 42 percent off the regular price of $275 and a new record low. This unit doesnt have some of the funkier features of pricier models, such as self-emptying or advanced object detection. But it should do a solid job of keeping your floors clean. The Y011 cleans your space in neat rows, vacuuming and mopping in one pass. It has a low-profile design to help it slink under beds and sofas, while an edge-sweeping brush helps it pick up debris from corners and edges. The Roomba uses sensors to move around furniture and avoid tumbling down stairs. If there's a particularly dirty spot that needs extra attention, the spot cleaning feature enables the device to spin in place and keep cleaning that area for up to two minutes. On top of that, you can start an ad-hoc cleaning using Alexa or Google Assistant. According to iRobot, this model will run for up to 120 minutes on a single charge and automatically return to its charging station when it needs more juice. The washable microfiber mop pad can be reused up to 30 times. Meanwhile, an entry-level vacuum-only Roomba has dropped to $140, down from $250. Thats a decent deal as well, but plunking down an extra $20 for iRobot to take care of mopping as well may be a more compelling option.
