Are you trying to figure out if you need an RTX 5070, 5080, or 5090? Let me help you decide—don’t let VRAM be a factor in your decision-making process. You really don’t need more than 16GB of VRAM for most use cases, especially gaming.

As we march toward one of the last weekends of the year, it’s time again to take a look at some homelab projects you should tackle. This weekend, I think it’s time you get your network in order. From setting up VLANs and configuring static IPs to having a VPN available to access your network when out of the house, here’s three homelab projects to tackle this weekend.

The weekend is so close I can almost smell it—and that means it’s time for another roundup of Raspberry Pi projects to try out over the next few days. This weekend, I’m focusing on building out self-hosted media servers and controllers to help simplify audio listening and controlling.

Are you using a VPN and wondering why your internet connection feels slower than it used to? I wondered the same thing, so I set out to measure just how much a VPN affected my internet speed at home.

I’ve been a mechanical keyboard fan for well over a decade—starting out with the infamous Logitech G710 and graduating over the years to more premium builds and eventually landing on my current setup. The Dygma Raise 2 that I type every article from cost nearly $700, and I think it’s worth every penny.

Choosing the right Wi-Fi 7 router can be tough. There are so many models out there, and which ecosystem is the right one to buy into? Earlier this year, I switched my entire network over to UniFi and I haven’t regretted it for a moment.

When it comes to starting a homelab, it can be a bit of a daunting task. What hardware do you choose? What capabilities do you want? How do you build out your initial setup? Well, the TerraMaster F4 SSD NAS takes care of all that for you.

I love organizing my workstation, and my PC gaming setup isn’t immune to getting 3D printed upgrades. From keeping my graphics card from sagging to organizing my USB drives and even holding my controller, here are my top four 3D prints that took my setup to the next level.

I recently got into microcontrollers—and by recently, I mean last week. Thanks to the help of Google’s new Antigravity IDE, an Arduino R4 WiFi, and a 7-color e-paper display, I was able to get an e-ink photo frame built in less than a week.

Are you in the market for a new NAS, but can’t decide between ARM and Intel/AMD? There are several reasons why you should go with ARM—most notably, it's way more power efficient. But traditional x86 does have one advantage you’ll want to consider.

Are you on the fence about paying for a password manager? Let me help you out: pay for one. I’ve used quite a few password managers over the years, including the one built into my browser. I’ve happily paid for 1Password for nearly a decade, and would have it no other way.

Are you a disgruntled Mac user grumbling about how some software is Windows-only? It’s easier than you might think to solve that problem: buy a cheap Windows mini PC.
