Bose’s waterproof Bluetooth speaker is on sale for the cheapest it’s ever been
It’s summer! That means it’s time to shake off the heat to the beat of your favorite songs with the Bose SoundLink Flex portable speaker, especially now that it’s down to a new best price of $99 on Amazon.
This discounted portable speaker works well indoors, but it’s especially useful when you want to take it with you to a lawn party, a backyard barbecue, the beach, or even camping.
This fantastic speaker promises the same deep and clear audio that you get with any Bose product, boasting special proprietary technology that adapts the sound quality to your environment.
And it’s safe for pools and beaches with its IP67 waterproof rating. In fact, if you accidentally drop it in water, it will float right up to the surface. (Although I wouldn’t advise leaving it there.)
The Bluetooth speaker’s battery life allows you to play music for up to 12 hours before recharging. You can even use the speaker to take calls with its built-in microphone, and you can access Siri or Google Assistant for immediate answers to your most dire questions.
Whether your summer plans include lounging by the pool or lazing on your couch, the Bose SoundLink Flex is a solid buy at its best-ever price.

Asus motherboards now support native Windows RGB controls
As someone who’s drowning in gaming keyboards, I think I have the authority to say that most Windows apps created by manufacturers for programming RGB lights suck—especially Armoury Crate from Asus.
Which is why it’s great that Dynamic Lighting is making such apps unnecessary for Asus motherboards, at least for some functions.
Dynamic Lighting is Microsoft’s attempt to unify these bling management apps with an all-in-one solution on Windows 11. It means that if you use a Corsair keyboard, a Razer mouse, a HyperX headset, and a Gigabyte motherboard, you don’t need four different apps in your notification tray in order to make your desktop setup look like a miniature rave.
At least, that’s the idea. In reality, support for Dynamic Lighting is rolling out at a glacial pace, even though several major players—including Logitech, Razer, Acer, HP (HyperX), SteelSeries, and Acer—have signed up to be part of the program.
Asus is on that list as well, but before today only the ROG Scope II Wireless 96 keyboard was in the official documentation. The Verge’s Tom Warren spotted a beta UEFI/BIOS update for the latest AMD and Intel motherboards that included a Windows Dynamic Lighting support toggle.
You’ll have to track down the beta BIOS and flip that switch before you can see the addressable RGB lighting in the Windows program. But if you’re chasing that all-in-one lighting ideal and hoping to reduce the amount of background apps you run, it might just be worth it.
Unfortunately, locating the beta BIOS updates for Asus motherboards is a bit of a headache. The only reliable place to find them appears to be on the Asus ROG forums (via The Verge) where Dropbox links to the relevant files are occasionally posted by moderators.
The final builds are posted to the Asus support site every month or so, but there’s no guarantee that the Dynamic Lighting feature will make it to the next update for any particular board.
