Lilbits: TypePad is shutting down, more companies pause US shipments, and Corsair launches a 14.5 inch, 2560 x 720 display

Corsair's Xeneon Edge 14.5″ LCD touchscreen display is an ultrawide second screen for your PC that lets you view system information at a glance thanks to Corsair's iCUE software that lets you place widgets for CPU temperature, media playback, and online information from a specific URL.

The display should be available soon for $250, which makes it considerably more expensive than  other 14.5 inch, 2560 x 720 pixel displays, but it stands out as one of the few options that comes from a major PC peripheral company. It also has multiple mounting options: in addition to using an included stand to prop up the display, you can attach it to the side of a PC, or a fan mount. And the iCUE software is also something competing models don't include, although an Ars Technica review suggests its utility is limited since it only supports a relatively small number of widgets and those widgets stop working if the iCue app is closed.

Here's a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.

The Corsair Xeneon Edge is a 14.5 inch, 2560 x 720 px, touchscreen that can function as a second screen for your PC or a widget board for system info using iCUE software. It's more versatile than some similar displays, but also more expensive at $250. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025…

Update: the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite goes on sale in the US September 4 for $349 and up. That's $150 less than the list price for the Galaxy S10 FE, but the FE is often on sale for less, making the choice murkier. liliputing.com/samsung-intr…

Microsoft announces that soon Microsoft Word for Windows will save documents to the cloud automatically by default (OneDrive "or your preferred cloud destination"). This could prevent data loss, but you can also disable autosave if you don't want it. techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microso…
