It's been roughly 10 years since headphone jacks were stripped from nearly all of our smartphones. On one hand, this was a tragedy—but it's one that occurred for a good reason. More than one, actually. In some ways, our phones are better off for having kissed this beloved port goodbye.

Ritas is handing out free Italian Ice on March 20 — how to get yours today
Free promotions often come with a catch. Sure, you can get some limited-edition merch or a brand-new device, but most of the time you need to spend some cash to qualify. Can you claim that this type of "free giveaway" is free at all? It's a grey area, at best.
But sometimes you really can get something for nothing: Dairy Queen recently gave away cones for free, Krispy Kreme handed out green doughnuts for St. Patricks Day, and Ben & Jerry's has confirmed that it's running its free cone day once again in 2026. And Rita's is doing something similar by offering a truly free giveaway to celebrate the first day of spring.

We're all feeling the spirit of spring right now, so what better way to celebrate?
Windows 11 just broke Microsoft accounts for some PCs
Just days after reporting that some systems couldn’t access their C: drives due to a buggy Samsung app, Windows devices are now greeted with ‘You’ll need the Internet for this’ error across Microsoft’s own apps. This time, the issue is directly tied to Windows 11’s March Tuesday patch update (KB5079473). What was supposed to be a routine security fix has instead triggered a bizarre sign-in error.
5 settings making your Linux PC less secure
Think your Linux PC is secure just because it’s Linux? Well, I hate to break it to you, but Linux—while it might be more secure than Windows—is not invulnerable. The architecture is solid, the open-source model helps, and yes, the threat landscape is smaller. But none of that matters if you've left the wrong settings unchecked. Here’s a quick look at five common settings that people leave enabled (or disabled) that are making their Linux PCs less secure.

Catch em all: PopSockets just dropped a new Pokémon collection, and it’s going to sell out fast
Pokémon officially turned 30 a few weeks ago (feel old yet?), but the merch drops are still going strong. Case in point: PopSockets just launched its brand new Pokémon Day and Night collection on March 19.
As the name implies, the lineup gives you two distinct aesthetics to choose from: pastel, sun-soaked designs or moody, dark-purple galaxy themes.
SEE ALSO: 10 of the coolest and weirdest 'Pokémon Pokopia' builds we've seen so farPopSockets went all out with a full ecosystem of MagSafe accessories that feature four fan-favorite creatures: Mew, Gengar, Espeon, and Umbreon.
Prices run anywhere from $20 to $50. You've got $45 MagSafe cases for all four characters (along with a few matching wallets) split between the two themes: a dark, cosmic look for Gengar and Umbreon, and bright pastel colors for Mew and Espeon. The grips range from $35 to $50; our fave is the Tidepool Dome Mew Aura Sphere. They even threw in some $40 magnetic PowerPacks (so your phone doesn't die while playing Pokémon GO), along with $30 suction mounts and a few beaded phone wristlets.
Where to buy the PopSockets x Pokémon collectionYou don't have to wait around for this one. The entire Day and Night collection is available to shop right now directly on the PopSockets website.

I finally fixed annoying notifications in Android Auto—here's the 5 settings I changed to do it
Let's be honest: Notifications on Android Auto can be super annoying. Between lengthy group messages and random app alerts, it's easy to get overwhelmed while driving. The good news is that there are ways to fine-tune exactly how and which notifications appear on your Android Auto screen.
Stop the notification overload: This 1-click Windows trick locks in my focus for hours

Here are 5 apps I always install when I set up a Linux desktop
