Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Gaming Mouse $119.67 at Amazon $159.00 Save $39.33 Get Deal Get Deal $119.67 at Amazon $159.00 Save $39.33 The G Pro X Superlight 2 is, as the name suggests, super light, weighing 60 grams (or 2.1 ounces). This makes it one of the lightest (ambidextrous) wireless gaming mice out there, making it an excellent choice for gamers playing fast-paced games where every flick of the wrist counts. With just four buttons (thumb buttons on the left side) and a clickable scroll wheel, the Superlight 2 leans heavily on simplicity. However, the lack of extra buttons or RGB lighting might feel a bit underwhelming at this price point, especially for those who prefer more customization or a bit of flash in their setup. Its compact size might also be a drawback for gamers with larger hands or those who favor a heavier mouse for more controlled movements.You can connect the Superlight 2 wirelessly via a USB-A transmitter, but it can also be used in wired mode with a USB-C cable. Impressively, its wireless connection supports an increased polling rate of 2,000Hz (double the standard 1,000Hz) for more responsive performance with minimal latency. Its wireless performance is equally impressive, reportedly maintaining stability even in crowded RF environments where interference is common. Plus, its upgraded Hero 2 sensor (with a maximum 32,000 DPI and tracking speeds of over 500 inches per second), delivers pinpoint accuracy, according to this PCmag review.Customization comes via Logitechs G Hub software, allowing you to adjust DPI in five-point increments, remap buttons, create macros, and more. That said, while its great for tweaking the essentials, the lack of a built-in DPI switch means switching settings on the fly requires using the app or assigning a button for the taskan inconvenient workaround. On the plus side, with a 95-hour battery life, the Superlight 2 can handle over a week of heavy use before needing a recharge. If youre open to a pre-owned option, the Razer Viper V2 Pro HyperSpeed at $74 makes for a good alternative.

Clickbait videos have always been annoying, but there are times when they can be downright harmful. YouTube has vowed to strengthen its enforcement efforts when it comes to dealing with "egregious clickbait" on its website, particularly those that cover or pretend to cover breaking news and current events. The website describes egregious clickbait as "videos where the title or thumbnail promises viewers something that the video doesn't deliver."YouTube says these videos leave viewers "feeling tricked, frustrated, or even misled" if they come to the website looking for truthful and timely information on important issues. If you've ever watched a clickbait video, you'd know that's definitely true. You may have trained yourself on being able to spot and skip them over the years, but some people might still not know the difference between clickbait and legitimate content.One example of egregious clickbait, according to YouTube, is if a video says "the president resigned!" without actually addressing the president's resignation. Misleading thumbails are considered egregious clickbait, as well. If a thumbnail reads "top political news" and the video doesn't contain any political news, then it will also be subjected to YouTube's enforcement action.The website will start cracking down on clickbait videos in India it didn't say how it will expand from there, but we've asked it for more information. For now, it will delete any video that violates this policy without issuing strikes. After it goes through old videos, it will then prioritize new uploads, presumably so that they don't reach more people that they should.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/youtube/youtube-will-crack-down-on-egregious-clickbait-starting-in-india-130010064.html?src=rss

We at Engadget are in the unique position to test out many more gadgets than we actually use on a regular basis. It just comes with the territory of reviewing the newest smartphones or testing out dozens of power banks to find the best ones. But we still have to buy things for ourselves, and there are winners and losers just like there are when we test things out for professional purposes only. And similar to when we find a new top-tier tablet or VR headset, we like to sing the praises of the tech we bought ourselves to anyone who will listen. These are the best things Engadget staffers purchased this year that will continue to get lots of use in 2025.

This week, we're looking back at our hellish 2024 and trying to figure out where to go from here. We began the year with enormous hype around artificial intelligence, but that's cooled off after seeing how useless many AI features have been. It's also clear that many companies, including Microsoft and Apple, are trying to push half-baked AI concepts onto users. Looking forward, we're expecting a rough few years for the tech industry (not to mention the world as a whole).Listen below or subscribe on your podcast app of choice.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest night of the year is almost upon us. Saturday, December 21, marks the winter solstice. An optimistic way to view this astronomical first day of winter is that there are brighter and warmer days ahead. A realist might point out that you first have to deal with cold and darkness.Lets take a look at what this all means and some tips for boosting your mental health during the chillier months:What is the winter solstice?According to NASA, the December solstice occurs when the Earths axial tilt is farthest away from the sun in the Northern Hemisphere. As a result, the sun reaches its southernmost position in the sky, directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn.The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, causing the shortest day and longest night of the year. As Space.com points out, that means daylight will only be around for about 7 hours and 40 minutes.In the Southern Hemisphere the opposite is true. During this time, the tilt of Earths axis is closest to the sun, marking the beginning of summer or the summer solstice. Yes, for some parts of the world, its warm in December and snows in July because the two hemispheres experience opposite seasons.When exactly does the 2024 winter solstice occur?There are two solstices every year, one in June and one December. The Northern Hemispheres winter solstice officially arrives on Saturday, December 21, at 4:19 a.m. ET.How does the solstice impact sunset and shadows?A fun way to see the solstice in action is by heading outside at noon. During the winter, your shadow will be the longest of the year because of the suns low position in the sky. This also causes the sun to set earlier than on any other day of the year.What is the historical significance of the solstice?Many ancient sites were built to celebrate the winter solstice, including:England: The setting sun can be seen between the pillars of Stonehenge.Ireland: A tomb mound called Newgrange, which predates Stonehenge, was built so the burial chamber is illuminated for 17 minutes at dawn.Egypt: The temple of Karnak aligns with the winter solstice, with the suns rays lighting up the place of worship throughout the day.How to avoid the winter bluesDuring the colder months, it is easy to feel a decline in mental health, partly because of the lack of sunshine. To help ease the winter blues, the Cleveland Clinic recommends getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, and not skipping out on exercise. The Mayo Clinic, meanwhile, wants you to consider adding a vitamin D supplement to your routine. Many people also benefit from UV lights. Finally, its important to continue to make social plans to foster connection and community and not isolate yourself.
