You can save $150 on various iPad Air configurations. Laptops are great, but sometimes it’s simply just more convenient to use a tablet like the iPad Air. The Air’s easier to carry, after all, and still powerful enough to handle everything from streaming to taking notes and reading. And right now, the latest version of the Air is down to a new low price. The M3-powered 11-inch iPad Air with 128GB tablet is available for $449 ($150 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The 13-inch 128GB model is on sale as well, starting at $649 ($150 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. As the midrange tablet in Apple’s lineup, the iPad Air combines everything we love about the entry-level iPad with many of the iPad Pro’s most useful features.

It’ll support windowed multitasking when iPadOS 26 becomes available this fall. (My colleague Todd Haselton has called windowed multitasking the iPad’s “best new feature in 15 years.”) Powered by the M3 chip, the Air is more powerful than the entry-level iPad and works with both the Apple Pencil USB-C and the Apple Pencil Pro, the latter of which has features like Find My support and squeeze gestures for quickly switching tools. Plus, the Air comes with support for Apple Intelligence, so you can take advantage of extra perks like generative AI-powered writing and image editing tools.The top-of-the-line M4-powered iPad Pro is still the most powerful iPad, capable of handling demanding games and advanced creative apps. But if you’re looking for a fast tablet for everyday work and play, the iPad Air strikes the perfect balance especially now it’s cheaper than ever.

Every time a movie disappears from streaming, I’m glad I already own it on Blu-ray
We live in the streaming age where movies and TV shows are available with a click of the remote. It's more convenient than manually dealing with physical media. However, nothing is more annoying than a service removing content I enjoy. So, I have my most cherished content on Blu-ray.

The last generation of fully upgradeable PCs is being built right now
The most memorable PC I've had was the one I bought in 2013, and it stayed with me till 2023, until I built my new PC from scratch. Over the course of a decade, this PC went through three GPUs, two CPUs, and even a motherboard upgrade, evolving with the...
The most memorable PC I've had was the one I bought in 2013, and it stayed with me till 2023, until I built my new PC from scratch. Over the course of a decade, this PC went through three GPUs, two CPUs, and even a motherboard upgrade, evolving with the times (and, of course, my bank balance). This PC was never really finished, and it almost felt like a sibling that grew up with me in the same house.

I turned a nearly 10-year-old laptop into the most useful machine in my home lab
Despite spending my teenage years drooling over enterprise-tier hardware, my current home lab mostly consists of consumer-grade systems, with the only outlier being a Xeon workstation from 2016. In fact, running a few Proxmox experiments on my old gaming PC proved that I don’t need top-of-the-line specs to access its...
Despite spending my teenage years drooling over enterprise-tier hardware, my current home lab mostly consists of consumer-grade systems, with the only outlier being a Xeon workstation from 2016. In fact, running a few Proxmox experiments on my old gaming PC proved that I don’t need top-of-the-line specs to access its virtualization features, and today, I’ve got everything from mini-PCs and thin clients to x86 single-board computers fueling my tinkering escapades to some extent.

I gave up on Firefox for a browser nobody talks about, and it’s the best I’ve ever used

Firefox had been my default browser for so long that I never really thought about replacing it. Whenever I tried another browser, I always ended up coming back. That changed when I decided to give Zen Browser a try. I expected it to be another Firefox alternative that I'd use for a few days before uninstalling. Instead, it slowly became the browser I open for everything. Before I realized it, Firefox was no longer my default choice. Here's what made Zen Browser stand out and why I think it's one of the most underrated browsers you can use today.

I switched from Docker to Proxmox LXCs, and managing my home lab finally stopped being a chore

Docker has been my go-to tool for self-hosting ever since I started building a home lab. It made deploying new applications incredibly simple, so I rarely considered using anything else. That changed after I started exploring Proxmox LXC containers. I initially expected them to be a lightweight alternative to virtual machines, but they ended up becoming my preferred way to run most of my self-hosted services. They offer the isolation of separate systems without the overhead of full VMs, while keeping everything easy to organize and manage. I now choose Proxmox LXCs over Docker for most of my home lab.

Jony Ive’s first OpenAI gadget is reportedly a hockey puck-sized smart speaker

The device, expected to launch in 2027 for a price over $300, reportedly "will have a unique look, complete with moving parts," including some that will move on their own to show when the device is responding or interacting with the user, along with lights, a camera system, and other sensors.Gurman's sources also say the "battery-powered" device is designed to be "easy to carry around the home wit …Read the full story at The Verge.

The best thing about the ZimaCube 2 isn’t the drive bays: It’s the PCIe slots
A six-bay NAS is easy to understand at a glance. You load it with drives, build a storage pool, install the services you need, and start throwing data at it. That’s a big part of the ZimaCube 2’s appeal, but the drive bays aren’t the part I keep coming back...
A six-bay NAS is easy to understand at a glance. You load it with drives, build a storage pool, install the services you need, and start throwing data at it. That’s a big part of the ZimaCube 2’s appeal, but the drive bays aren’t the part I keep coming back to. The two PCIe slots inside are much more interesting because they leave room for the ZimaCube 2 to become something quite different from the NAS you bought on day one.

My favorite Notion alternative isn’t Obsidian, it’s something I can actually self-host

When people talk about replacing Notion, Obsidian is usually the first app that comes up. I tried it too, and while it's an excellent note-taking app, it wasn't the replacement I was actually looking for. I wanted something that felt closer to Notion while giving me complete control over where my data lived. That search eventually led me to AFFiNE. After using it for a while, I realized it offered a better balance between flexibility, ownership, and everyday usability for my workflow. AFFiNE has become my favorite Notion alternative, rather than the one most people expect.

Having built my first home server using components cobbled together from older builds, I realized fairly quickly that an experimental workstation doesn’t need cutting-edge specs to drive my virtualization projects. As time went on, I started grabbing outdated machines from flea markets, and with a little coat of Proxmox, they became reliable nodes for my home lab, self-hosting, and DevOps experiments.
