Keep your information away from prying eyes.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much of your day you spend connecting to networks that aren’t your own? Whether you’re working at a Starbucks, trying to finish something up at the airport before your flight, or sitting in the public library, odds are you’re connected to a network that isn’t the most secure without even thinking about it. Daily we do things like accessing our bank account, pay bills, send personal emails, and much more, all while not knowing if someone is tracking these moves and getting ready to steal your information.

Sounds a bit scary, huh? Well, personal information is something that should be kept personal, and luckily there are some easy ways to protect yourself. Odds are, by now you’ve heard of Virtual Proxy Networks, or VPNs, but you may be wondering why you would want to invest in one, right? Some of them can be a bit expensive, and others are unusually cheap, leaving you wondering which to end up with….

Best answer: Don’t be put off by the Surface in the name, these headphones will work just fine with an iPhone or an iPad when they’re released in November.

Microsoft: Surface Headphones (Order from November 15) ($350)

Surface Headphones are Bluetooth

The Surface Headphones are really fancy but when it comes down to it, the wireless connection that helps you listen to your music is plain old Bluetooth.

That means beyond just an iPhone or iPad, the Surface Headphones can connect to any other mobile device or computer with Bluetooth that you want to listen to music from.

Cortana is built into the headphones

Normally, when you hear about a voice assistant like Cortana being available, your brain might go to ideas about only using Microsoft devices. You’re probably used to seeing assistants like Cortana on your phone, tablet, or PC, but in this case, Cortana is built right into the headphones. It cuts out an extra middleman when trying to connect them with any device, so there’s…

Owe some green to your friend, or waiting on your friend to pay you back? These apps make it easy, so no more excuses!

We’ve all been in this situation like this before: we’re out with friends getting some food and drinks, and perhaps the place has a minimum for credit card payments and splitting the check in half isn’t going to work, so one of you pays for the entire bill and the other will pay them back. Or maybe you asked a friend to get something for you for a discount, and you’ll pay them back later.

While Apple has implemented Apple Pay Cash so you can send and receive money in Messages, and keep a separate pool of money for Apple Pay purchases, not everyone uses a bank or credit union that implements Apple Pay yet. For these times, it’s best to use cold hard cash, or better yet, a third-party money transferring app.

The Wen 56200i 2000-Watt 79.7cc Inverter Generator is down to $389.18 on Amazon. This generator has been selling for around $445 over the last couple months. The price drop today is a match for the best we’ve seen on Amazon, although there was a deal dropping it to $380 on Newegg back in August. It is currently around $445 or higher at Newegg and Home Depot.

The generator uses fuel in its 79.7cc 4-stroke engine to create clean, efficient, portable power. It only generates 51 decibels of noise, which is relatively quiet compared to a more traditional generator. That’s important if you want to use this around other people like at campgrounds or tailgates. There are two three-pong 120V outlets, one 12V DC receptable, and one 5V USB port so you can charge your phone, computer, or other electronics. It has 4.5 stars based on 535 reviews at Amazon. You’ll also receive a two-year warranty with its purchase.
