There was once a time when you could avoid buying a smart TV, but that’s no longer true. While convenient and packed with streaming apps, smart TVs are also filled with ads and tracking technology that monitors how you use your device, what you watch, and more.

Android has matured into a pretty great operating system over the years. However, it’s far from perfect. I’ve used every modern mobile operating system as a daily driver, from webOS to Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Android, and iPhone. Here are the things that I think Android needs to copy from mobile operating systems of yesteryear.

Are you ready for more homelab projects to do? Because I know I am! This weekend, set your sights on saving money by canceling subscriptions, supercharging your coding experience, and overhauling your automation workflows.

Are you still using the built-in password manager from Google or Apple? If so, it’s time to leave your old password manager behind and move to something more universal and cross-platform.

Notion has become integral to my daily workflow. During the week, there’s not a day that goes by where I’m not in Notion for at least a few hours, if not most of the workday. Here’s how Notion makes both my personal and professional life so much easier.

Running a homelab is one of the most rewarding hobbyist things I’ve ever done. I’m able to self-host all sorts of things, from my media collection to game servers, services, files, and much more. There are five things I hate to admit about my homelab though—and you need to admit them too.

I’ve had dual USB-C/A flash drives for many years—they’re nothing new. However, when I got the PNY Duo Link V3, it changed how I used dual flash drives.

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.
