When buying a car, reliability is usually near the top of the list. Even the fanciest sports car or luxury ride can lose its appeal fast if it’s spending more time in the shop than on the road.

JetBrains has released IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3, the first version of the new unified IDE for Java development. It's combining the Community Edition and Ultimate builds into one package and adding a few new features on top, including full support for Java 25.

Buying a used PC or repurposing your old computer is one of the most inexpensive ways to get a network-attached storage device (NAS). While specialized NAS units exist, they will cost you hundreds of dollars more than just picking up a cheap PC or using one you already own.

If you don't know how to deal with them, network issues are one of those things that can get extremely annoying. The worst part? You don't even know what's causing it. Over the years, I've been using these Windows network commands to troubleshoot most issues with ease.

As someone who replaced my PC with a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, I use my phone more than most—and gestures are a vital part of how I make it all work. Here are some of the gestures that make using a Samsung phone feel faster, many of which are so easy to overlook, you might never discover them at all.

Regardless of the online platform you use to track time for your personal or team projects, you can’t deny that you’re not in control of that platform. If Clockify or Toggl go down tomorrow because of a glitch or scheduled maintenance, you can’t access them or your data until they come back online. That’s why the most reliable and private platform is always the one you can host yourself and have total control over. Let me show you how you can do exactly that.

Blink, the Amazon-owned company known for its affordable smart home security cameras, just announced a big upgrade to its camera software. Do you ever wish your cameras were a bit more descriptive with alerts and notifications? If so, you'll be happy to hear about these new features.

Ubuntu might be considered the face of Linux, but that doesn't mean it's the best distro. In fact, some of Ubuntu's own spin-off flavors offer tools and features that can make them better suited for certain users and use cases. Here are three such Ubuntu flavors that can actually outperform the original.

Unbelievably, the second week of December is already here. Whether you're scrambling to buy presents or cozy inside with a mug of cocoa, you deserve to treat yourself to some movie watching.

Before the deluge of Christmas movies descends upon us in the coming weeks, I thought I would dig deep into Paramount+'s lineup of December titles for a handful of decidedly non-holiday flicks for this week's movie night.

I’ve been using an iPhone for years, and I’ve gotten used to the kind of seamless integration Apple builds into macOS. My Mac mini instantly picks up texts, calls, photos, clipboard data, and everything else my phone wants to share. It all just works. But when I’m at my desk for work, I’m usually on Windows, and that same level of continuity simply isn’t there. That’s why I finally decided to try out Windows Phone Link. I wanted to see whether it could bring even a little bit of that Apple-style integration into my Windows workflow.

Are you sitting bored at your Linux machine and looking for a quick gaming session? Tired of playing those online card games that bombard you with ads or push microtransactions? Well, here are five open-source card games that are completely free and deliver a fun gaming experience.

As we cruise into the second week of December, I continue to cruise Amazon Prime Video for the best movies to watch. This week, I’m taking you deep undercover into the world of improv comedy with Bryce Dallas Howard and Orlando Bloom, then we’re going back to college with a very funny Tom Hanks circa 2011. After that, it’s a gritty Western featuring a fierce Peter Dinklage followed by a must-see, award-winning post-apocalyptic film. Lastly, we’ll join an amazing race to save a kidnapped Santa Claus.

An AWS outage recently took out Trello and for an entire day, people weren’t able to access their projects and tasks. The good news is you don’t need a Trello account just to have a Kanban board for you or your team. Instead, you can self-host a Trello alternative on your computer or homelab and protect your work from cloud outages.

I'm not a fan of gaming headsets, so for the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro to impress me enough for me to recommend it to you is no small feat.

Subscriptions are the new cable, and if you're not careful, you might find that your subscription costs wind up creeping higher than any cable subscription ever did.

Linux is generally less prone to malware than Windows, and so long as you're careful about the commands you enter, Linux systems tend to age much more gracefully than Windows systems. However, no system is truly immune to malware, and blindly following instructions online can easily break something on your system if you're not cautious. That is where immutable distros can save the day.

Windows has a vast ecosystem of its own apps, but many of my current favorite apps for Windows actually started their digital lives on Linux. If you're looking for a few free or open-source alternatives to your conventional Windows apps, some of these options are a great place to start.

Hot take: 1TB SSDs are fine for some people, but not for most people. Not anymore.

One of the most anticipated television events of the year has arrived—well, at least part one of it has—and with it comes the return of our favorite monster-fighting 80s teens. It’s been a long three-year wait, but Stranger Things season five has begun. The only bummer is that it’s dropping in three volumes. While we'd all love for the final season to drop at once, we must be patient.
