NASA is now targeting November 14th for the Artemis 1 launch

NASA has set a date for its next Artemis 1 launch attempt. The agency will next try to send the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft on an uncrewed journey around the moon on November 14th. The launch window starts at 12:07AM ET and will be open for an hour and nine minutes. In case NASA has to scrub the November 14th launch, it has two backup windows in mind, starting at 1:04AM on November 16 and 1:45AM on November 19th.

The first attempt on August 29th was scrubbed due to engine issues before a hydrogen fuel leak prevented another stab at a launch a few days later. NASA didn’t have any luck during the next launch window in late September either. It rolled the SLS and Orion back to the safety of the Vehicle Assembly Building as Hurricane Ian bore down.

On the upside, NASA says minimal work is needed to prepare the SLS and Orion before it rolls them back out to the launchpad. Engineers will repair minor foam and cork damage on the thermal protection system. It’ll also replace or recharge batteries for the rocket, secondary payloads and the flight termination system. All going well, Artemis 1 could be back on the launchpad as soon as November 4th.

Apple iCloud photo libraries will soon be viewable in Windows

It should soon be much easier to access your iPhone’s photo collection on a Windows-based PC. Microsoft is updating Windows 11 with the option to directly view iCloud photo libraries in the Photos app — you won’t need your browser, just an iCloud app from Microsoft’s store. So long as your iCloud account has enough space to hold all your images, you might never need to manually transfer photos to your Windows machines.

The functionality is available today for Windows Insider participants. It should be available to all Windows 11 users sometime in November.

The news comes just as the Apple Music app launches on Xbox consoles. It reflects Microsoft’s ambition to make Windows the “most open” desktop platform with support for rival services and apps. You can use Android apps and run Linux instances, for example. While this is partly a not-so-subtle dig at Apple’s more closed ecosystem, it’s good news for users who’d rather not switch hardware just to get seamless photo syncing.

Ooni’s Fyra 12 pizza oven is cheaper than ever for Prime Day

You’ve still got time to fit in some outdoor parties this fall before the weather gets too cold, and a pizza oven can be a great addition to your backyard setup. For Prime Day, one of our favorites, the Ooni Fyra 12, is 22 percent off and down to just over $279. That’s the best price we’ve seen since Labor Day, when you could have gotten 20 percent off any of the company’s 12-inch pizza ovens, the Fyra included.

Normally priced at $349, the Fyra 12 is a good option for those who prefer making personal pizzas. Its 12-inch side makes it ideal for smaller creations, and it’s portable as well. The Fyra has foldable legs and a detachable chimney, plus it weighs only 22 pounds. That means you could bring this to a friend’s house for a group pizza party pretty easily. This machine uses wood pellets to reach up to 950 degrees Fahrenheit, and it’s usually ready to cook in only 15 minutes. We’ve recommended Ooni pizza ovens in the past, and they’re even better when you can get them on sale.

Some of our other favorite outdoor gear is also on sale for Prime Day. Thermacell’s E-series rechargeable mosquito repeller is down to $31, or 23 percent off its usual rate. This tiny device gives you a 20-foot protection zone from those pesky bugs, and it comes with a 12-hour repellant refill as well. Also discounted are TP-Link’s Kasa Outdoor smart plug, which you can grab for $16, and the ultra-compact Sony SRS-XB13 portable speaker, which is on sale for $38.
