If you are one of the millions who already work from home, or one of the now tens of millions compelled to do so due to the coronavirus pandemic, chances are you’re going to need to make some improvements to your personal workspace to optimize for comfort and efficiency. Whether you have a dedicated office space in the house or you’ve managed to carve out a corner of the dining room, guest room, or bedroom, you’re going to want to make sure it’s as organized and tidy as possible.

Homury Wood Dual Monitor Stand

Staff Pick

I’ve used a version of this wooden dual monitor stand for over four years now, and I love it. It gets my 27-inch iMac up at just the right height to view from my preferred chair, and it has enough space on the sides, and storage area underneath, to tuck away most of my desk clutter.

OxygenOS Open Beta 11 is now rolling out to OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro phones.
The update includes the March 2020 security patch.
It also contains a few fixes relating to the display and the keyboard.

Just a week after the company made OxygenOS Open Beta 10 available on the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro, OnePlus is already rolling out its successor — to some users, at least.

The update doesn’t really bring any major new features. Instead, it focuses on quality control.

The changelog shows the company has fixed the frame rate issues that were previously spoiling screen recording for some users, and it has also optimized adaptive brightness for the display. Lastly, the phone won’t suddenly switch back to Gboard if you’re using a third-party keyboard like SwiftKey.

And, of course, the update also includes the latest security patch — the March 2020 one, in this case — which is always a welcome sight.

As with all of OnePlus’ software rollouts, t…

Some users are complaining about Samsung’s use of Exynos processors in its phones.
Calling these products “inferior,” the petition asks Samsung to abandon the lineup and use only Qualcomm’s SoCs in its phones.
In just a day, nearly 2,300 people have already signed up.

While Samsung may be proud of its capability to manufacture its SoCs in-house, its customers clearly aren’t satisfied with the product, especially considering the company’s decision to ship its flagships with different processors in different markets.

The South Korean giant generally uses its home-made Exynos processors for phones sold in Asia and Europe, while the U.S. market gets Snapdragon-powered phones. The difference in performance between the two variants can often be significant, and a new petition on Change.org is asking Samsung to stop selling its customers these “inferior” products.

Everyone wants a house free from sickness. It’s a no-brainer scenario. But while people are talking about cleaning the things that hands touch daily, like doorknobs and sink handles, very little attention is being paid to the floor you walk on. That’s because, as a culture, we’re just not very aware of what’s going on under our shoes. Paying attention to this critical detail could be a big way to prevent illnesses from entering your home in the first place and a major step towards having peace of mind if you’re someone who works at home, even if it’s only temporary.

But don’t take it from me, take it from medical experts. A recent study conducted on SARS-COV-2 (the virus that’s also known as Coronavirus in the news) showed that the virus can live on cardboard for up to 24 hours, and up to 2-3 days on plastic and stainless steel. Daniel Kuritzkes, an infectious disease expert at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, had this to say regarding viruses like the Coronavirus (COVID-19/SARS-COV-2)…
