Summer is the perfect time to travel or just get out of the house. You don't have to go on a tropical vacation to be on the move this time of year. And whether it's to the beach, a lake house or an amusement park, even staycations or day trips are a lot of work. They can also leave you with a low phone battery or dead AirPods. Thank goodness, there are 3-in-1 MagSafe charging stations that exist now so that you can charge multiple devices at once. They can be pretty expensive, though, and that's why we're impressed with Aldi's upcoming charging bundle. It's so similar to an Anker model that costs four times the price. From July 9 to July 15, Aldi will be selling their Bauhn MagCharge 3 in 1 Charging Bundle for $19.99 in their Aldi Finds aisle of local U.S. stores. This is a MagCharge charging station that allows you to charge your phone, AirPods and Apple Watch all at the same time. Your devices need to be MagSafe compatible, meaning that they can charge without plugging in. This includes the iPhone 12 through iPhone 16 models, AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro. It's sleek, gray and black.Related:
The charging bundle folds up when not in use into a compact pad. But when you need to charge something, it opens up so that it's propped open with three levels. It holds your MagSafe-compatible iPhone in the middle, sits your AirPods on the bottom and hangs your Apple Watch on the upper platform.
It has overheat protection, so you don't have to worry about it getting too hot while it's charging three things. All of the devices that are able to work with this station magnetically connect to it, so things are pretty sturdy. Aldi's site reported that it has 15W super-fast charging, a Type-C port and a 6-foot long Type-C cable (which connects to a block that goes into a wall outlet). Related:
This isn't the first of its kind; in fact, popular tech brand Anker has their MagGo 3 in 1 Charging Station, which is very similar. It costs $83.99 on Amazon and offers a lot of the same things as the Aldi bundle. It's MagSafe-compatible to offer wireless charging, it has 15W charging and has a USB-C adapter. It isn't exactly the same design—it has one platform for your AirPods with a leaning feature for your phone and Apple Watch—but it does the same thing (and visually isn't too different). It also folds up in a compact way that's nearly the same.
And even if you didn't want to go with a well-known brand, something like the ADAM Elements Magnetic Wireless Charger/Travel Charger is still $59.25 on Amazon. This one is visually closer to Aldi's design and does all of the same things. So, if you can't leave the house without your Apple Watch and AirPods (and of course your iPhone) and you're looking for a charging station to charge all of your devices at once, Aldi's Bauhn MagCharge 3 in 1 Charging Bundle is worth checking out. And even though it's great for travel because it folds up so nicely, it can also make a nice, compact charging area in your home.Up Next:Aldi Is Selling a Cool $20 3-in-1 Charging Bundle Similar to an Anker Style 4x the Price first appeared on Parade on Jul 6, 2025

This Fast-Casual Chinese Chain Is Beating Local Spots At Their Own Game
Let's face it: America's very fond of chain dining. Whether it's one of the best regional fast food chains or one of the ubiquitous giants, corporate eating covers every context. And both the cuisine and locations of such operations are rapidly evolving: It's not just about burgers or fried chicken anymore. And now, Pei Wei is once again changing the game. Since starting some 25 years ago in Arizona, the chain operates over a hundred locations all across the country. During their first decade of preparation, several factors set them apart. They were among the earliest corporate adopters of gluten-free and allergy sensitive dining. And the interior is sleek, but still casual, with a convenient counter service model that saves costs. Last -- but certainly not least -- for easy-going Pan-Asian fare, the eclectic menu hits the spot: Think classics like orange chicken, Mongolian beef, as well Poke bowls, Thai-influenced curries, and more. Throw in affordable pricing, and such a combination of factors cemented their enduring growth -- a valued evidenced by their (and P.F. Chang's) acquisition for over a billion dollars in 2012. Such a scale cements Pei Wei as the second biggest player in Asian food. The more fast-food like Panda Express menu is the only company that more commercially successful. However, for many Americans, Pei Wei even beats out local, hole-in-wall options. Read more: Chain Restaurants That Serve The Highest And Lowest Quality Steak Pei Wei may have introduced you to classics like orange chicken, but the chain didn't invent Chinese-American cuisine. Instead, many items off their menu are adapted versions of fare that traces roots to 19th century California. It's here that Cantonese-run eateries -- especially densely cluttered in the Bay Area -- first created tasty and affordable dishes like chop suey. And the creation of orange chicken is accredited to Panda Express in 1987. So while Pei Wei does offer a few signature dishes like their protein bowls and salads, they mainly stick to tried and true Asian-American classics. Pei Wei broke into such a formula by way of P.F. Chang's, their more upscale counterpart chain which opened in 1993 (and now boasts a great happy hour). An innovator in specifically wok-driven dishes sold to American audiences, P.F. Chang's has enjoyed popularity since the 1990s, with their snazzy surroundings yet comforting fare. The parent company launched Pei Wei in 2000 to deliver simpler Asian-American classics in a more casual environment, with less overhead. The move proved hugely commercially successful, leading to the chain that still thrives today. Read the original article on Chowhound.

Microsoft Offers Free Windows 10 Extended Security Updates: Here's How to Get Them
Microsoft is closing the door on Windows 10 in October 2025, and will be ceasing security support for that operating system unless users pay $30 for a one-year extended security update. Now, Microsoft has added a free option. Users need to turn on cloud backup and connect it to their OneDrive account. The ability to get free updates on Windows 10 is a pretty big deal because it is still the most widely used Windows OS, accounting for just over 53% of installs as of May 2025. That leaves millions of people without security support in just a few months unless they upgrade. So the cloud backup option gives users a way out without costing them any money. The only potential issue is OneDrive. Anyone with a Microsoft account gets up to 5GB of storage for free. However, as The Verge points out, some backups may exceed this limitation, requiring users to purchase a monthly or yearly plan. At $1.99 per month for 100GB of cloud storage, a year of OneDrive still costs less than the $30 for a year of additional security updates, but it still may cause frustration among some users. Windows 10 was released in July 2015, more than a decade ago. Microsoft will be rolling out the ESU wizard in July 2025. Microsoft How to get Windows 10 security updates for free Per Microsoft's blog post, there are now three options for people who want to stay on Windows 10 and still receive security updates. Use Windows Backup to sync settings to the cloud via OneDrive. Redeem 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points. Redeeming those points can buy you one year of security updates. Pay $30 for the extended security updates program. Users will be presented with these options starting in July, which is when Microsoft plans to roll out the sign-up wizard for the Extended Security Updates program. Signing up for this option will guarantee updates until Oct. 13, 2026, although businesses will have the option to purchase up to three years of additional updates. So, this isn't a long-term solution, but rather gives consumers more time to upgrade to Windows 11. It's been an uphill battle for Microsoft as people have been resilient in upgrading their existing hardware. There are myriad differences between the two operating systems, but Microsoft's string of unpopular decisions along with Windows 11 compatibility issues have kept the prior generation OS around a lot longer than it normally would be.
