Microsoft announced that the latest Windows 11 Insider builds have reinstated the ability to move the taskbar to any side of the screen and added a smaller taskbar size option. The update also streamlines the search box, removing promotional sections and showing only suggested or recent searches.

EZQuest released its Pro Series USB 4 Dual‑Display 8‑in‑1 hub, built on Intel’s JHL8140 chipset. The dock offers nine USB‑C ports, supports full DisplayPort 1.4a video, delivers up to 100 W power (77 W to a laptop and 23 W to the dock), and weighs just 1.6 oz, eliminating the need for a bulky external power brick.
