I stopped using Claude for coding, but now I can’t live without it for everything else

Up until recently, Claude was only spoken about in hushed tones in developer communities. It was the quiet favorite of people who lived in their terminals, and the biggest reason for that was just how good Anthropic's models were at coding. To everyone else, Claude was either invisible or vaguely...

This Altoids tin ESP32 computer comes with a keyboard, and yes, it runs DOOM

Did you know that there's an entire scene around stuffing chips into an Altoids tin and making it do all sorts of things? We've seen it before with the Raspberry Pi, where someone even created a Kickstarter to help get an Altoid tin console up and running. There's something about...

Microsoft has spent six months turning Windows Terminal into a rival to Warp, and it’s working

For the last few years, Warp has largely dominated the modern terminal space. The command blocks, AI command generation, agentic mode, Warp Drive, and other QoL features all made it a popular choice, and when Warp arrived natively on Windows early last year, it made the default Windows Terminal look...

I self-host my PC game library with Moonlight instead of paying for a second PC or GeForce Now

Nothing ever quite beats couch gaming. That's why I often prefer playing on my PS5 Pro sitting under the TV. However, a problem that kept nagging me over and over again was that most of the experiences I wanted simply lived on my desktop PC instead. High ray-tracing, path tracing,...

Claude is still the best agentic coding tool, but Anthropic’s tightening grip is the best argument yet for going local

Claude is typically considered the best agentic coding tool on the market right now. There are plenty of developers I know who use it daily, and Anthropic has spent the last year and a half giving plenty of reasons for that confidence. Opus 4.7 just launched last month, Claude Code...

Volvo teases a new affordable EV to replace discontinued EX30

Volvo's compact, quirky EX30 had a lot of problems when it was first released. Tariffs essentially erased its affordability, making it more expensive to own, and a battery recall made it dangerous to park indoors.

Your SSD has built-in maintenance tools that Windows keeps hidden from you

Modern-day SSDs are fast enough for most of us to not really think about their upkeep every day. Back when SSD technology was new, everyone treated their SSDs like fragile glass, sharing notes and advice on how to prolong the life of their drive by any means unnecessary.

ChatGPT finally got the memory transparency feature it needed — it still isn’t enough to beat Claude

Every time OpenAI releases a new model for ChatGPT, the buzz it generates makes me think I may be missing out if I don't switch. The latest update is GPT-5.5 Instant, and it's the default model for all ChatGPT users. It's paired with an upgraded memory system that shows you...

I stopped using motherboard audio after one cheap USB DAC solved every problem I had

For years, I treated motherboard audio as one of those PC features that simply existed in the background. As long as sound came through my headphones and my microphone worked well enough for Discord calls, I never paid much attention to the audio side of my setup. I spent more...

You don’t need a 4K monitor to make DLSS 4.5 worth it

I totally understand why many people think enabling DLSS makes the most sense on a 4K monitor. At native 4K, you're almost always GPU-bound even if you have a flagship card like the RTX 5090, so DLSS is a great way to avoid paying the performance tax that comes with...
