Working from home has its perks, but there are a few negatives we all have to navigate. Be it extraneous noise, constant interruptions, or family members making cameos on Zoom, our home office setups can be less than ideal. In fact, for many remote workers, one of the biggest productivity pitfalls is the lack of a multi-monitor desktop layout. To which we say, if your company isn’t springing for those expensive (not to mention bulky) computer screens, why should you?
Beat the system with the Mobile Pixels DUEX Pro Portable Dual Monitor, now available for $69 off with code SAVEDUEXPRO. This smart accessory attaches to any laptop, adding a second screen in seconds, wherever you may be working from. A crowdfunded product, the internet saw all its brilliant benefits and helped raise over an impressive $1 million in funding on Indiegogo.
While it’s seamless to use, this portable monitor is anything but basic. The 1080p screen delivers sharp, clear graphics. You can easily adjust the positioning, with 270-degree rotation and dual-sided sliding. There’s even a 180-degree presentation mode, which will come in handy for your next in-person meeting.
Let the multitasking fun begin. Move between screens with ease, whether you’re working on that big presentation or taking a little gaming break (it happens). Distractions aside, this monitor will help you reach your next deadline early; expect your productivity to increase by 50 percent when you're in dual-monitor mode.
The Mobile Pixels DUEX Pro Portable Dual Monitor normally costs $249 at full price, but you can get it for $180, or $69 off, with code SAVEDUEXPRO at checkout.

Elon Musk is demanding his Tesla employees to return to the office full time, a minimum of at least 40 hours a week.

Memorial Day rang in the unofficial start of summer here in the United States -- and with it, the unofficial start of summer travel. Whether consumers traveled by air or by land, they probably experienced some form of frustration over the weekend. Flyers faced delays and cancellations, and drivers faced the most expensive gas prices ever recorded on Memorial Day. Zach Griff, Senior Aviation Reporter for the Points Guy, joins Cheddar News' Closing Bell to discuss.
Next-generation gaming ecosystem Joystick recently raised $8 million in a seed round and is in the process of raising a $110 million Series A funding round.

The dating app Bumble has sponsored bills and pushed lawmakers to criminalize the online practice of sending unsolicited nudes or “cyberflashing." Payton Iheme, Bumble's head of public policy for the Americas, joined Cheddar News to discuss why the app was going after the harassing behavior beyond its own platform. "Now, while we went to work internally in the company, and we created something called private detector to automatically blur those images so the user can decide if they want to see them, there's nothing for the rest of the internet," she said. "And so that's why we went to work with these laws."
