Virtual machines are the easiest way to try Linux without causing unnecessary headaches
The itch to try out Linux is universal. Almost everyone who is into technology has heard of it, and having another operating system option besides Windows and macOS sounds pretty appealing. However, there are many ways to run Linux and so many different distributions that it can be super overwhelming.

If you want to get the most value from your graphics card, you might use it for various productivity tasks when not gaming. That's one way to get more out of your flagship GPU if you're lucky enough to have one, but midrange GPUs are just as capable when you don't need lots of VRAM. But all of those require you to be actively using your PC.

I replaced Samsung’s default apps one by one, and only these were worth keeping
Whenever I've switched to a Samsung phone in the past, I never gave its preinstalled apps much of a chance. I'd spend the first few minutes replacing them with Google's alternatives because I was already familiar with them, especially since I use many of them on my PC and iPhone....
Whenever I've switched to a Samsung phone in the past, I never gave its preinstalled apps much of a chance. I'd spend the first few minutes replacing them with Google's alternatives because I was already familiar with them, especially since I use many of them on my PC and iPhone. For instance, Samsung Browser was usually the first to go, since it was the first app I saw sitting in the dock. But recently, I wanted to give Samsung's native apps a fair shot on my Z Flip 5.

3 things Obsidian can do that no other productivity tool can
I have tried enough productivity apps to know how quickly their differences disappear. One may offer better databases, another may have prettier dashboards, but most of them eventually force me into a specific way of organizing my work.

How much would you pay for a joke Steam game? One developer released a title hoping that people would drop $200 on it. As it turns out, people did come out in droves to give the game a try, racking up $1.3 million in game revenue. Unfortunately for them, they never got to see that money as owners refunded the game and left the dev with a fraction of what was paid.
