Fanttik’s portable pump can inflate a compact car tire from 30 to 35 PSI in about a minute, and with a maximum pressure of 150 PSI, it works with everything from SUVs and bikes to sports balls. Using it is simple; pull out its air hose, attach it to your tire (or other inflatable doodad), then select from one of the four preset modes for cars, motorcycles, bikes, and balls — or switch to manual if you want more control. The built-in display shows your tire’s pressure in real time, your selected target level, and remaining battery life, so you can easily track progress on the most important metrics. It also automatically shuts off when it’s done, so there’s no need to keep checking it. Weighing in at about a pound, the X9 Pro should be easy to carry, and its slim design includes built-in storage for accessories (it comes with adapters for different valve types). Its battery recharges via USB-C and can run continuously for up to 23 minutes.
I ignored BIOS updates for three years until I realized they were fixing my entire platform
BIOS is something that users touch only while building a PC, enabling DOCP/XMP, or reinstalling Windows. Once that is done and the PC starts working again, the BIOS becomes invisible. I was in the same situation; I built my PC about three years ago and went back to the BIOS...
BIOS is something that users touch only while building a PC, enabling DOCP/XMP, or reinstalling Windows. Once that is done and the PC starts working again, the BIOS becomes invisible. I was in the same situation; I built my PC about three years ago and went back to the BIOS a few more times to reinstall Windows.

My UGREEN DXP4800 Pro NAS quietly replaced half my home lab, and I didn’t expect that
I bought the UGREEN DXP4800 Pro NAS expecting it to behave like a better storage box. That was the sensible role for it, at least on paper. It had room for drives, enough performance to handle my files, and a more appliance-like personality than the random assortment of mini PCs...
I bought the UGREEN DXP4800 Pro NAS expecting it to behave like a better storage box. That was the sensible role for it, at least on paper. It had room for drives, enough performance to handle my files, and a more appliance-like personality than the random assortment of mini PCs and Raspberry Pis that had accumulated around my home lab. What I didn’t expect was for it to start swallowing jobs I used to reserve for dedicated machines.

I replaced GitHub Copilot with a self-hosted AI and I won’t go back
I'm a fairly novice coder, even though I've dabbled in one language or another over the last few decades. I'm also terrible at formatting, so I really appreciate autocomplete and formatting help from agentic coding tools. I've been using GitHub Copilot, partly because it's the default in VS Code, but...
I'm a fairly novice coder, even though I've dabbled in one language or another over the last few decades. I'm also terrible at formatting, so I really appreciate autocomplete and formatting help from agentic coding tools. I've been using GitHub Copilot, partly because it's the default in VS Code, but the recent tightening of usage limits has me looking elsewhere. It feels like a bait and switch by Microsoft, getting you hooked on high token usage, then closing the door, and I'm over it.

Your Kindle doesn’t need to be hacked to escape Amazon’s walled garden
When you buy a Kindle, you only focus on reading books on it, like most folks. Only after owning one do people look for tutorials and guides to remove the niggles. Several tutorials, forum threads, and video comments are packed with people seeking guidance on jailbreaking the Kindle.

Your cheap USB-C cables will fail with USB4
There's sometimes a negative connotation that anything cheap must be of bad quality, but that couldn't be further from the truth. More affordable mechanical keyboards can oftentimes be just as good as more expensive typing machines. The same goes for a bottle of red sauce or even a monitor, so...
There's sometimes a negative connotation that anything cheap must be of bad quality, but that couldn't be further from the truth. More affordable mechanical keyboards can oftentimes be just as good as more expensive typing machines. The same goes for a bottle of red sauce or even a monitor, so long as you know where to look. USB-C cables, on the other hand, can be downright terrible if a bad-quality cable is purchased.

I fixed my home network lag without buying a new router or a mesh system
When people think of home network upgrades, mesh Wi-Fi or a fancy router is usually what they think about. After all, the marketing around mesh networks makes it seem that they're a silver bullet to every Wi-Fi problem. However, many mesh systems cause the exact problems that they promise to...
When people think of home network upgrades, mesh Wi-Fi or a fancy router is usually what they think about. After all, the marketing around mesh networks makes it seem that they're a silver bullet to every Wi-Fi problem. However, many mesh systems cause the exact problems that they promise to solve. Even Wi-Fi 7 routers boast blazing-fast speeds and better coverage than ever, but they a Wi-Fi 7 router won't fix what's truly wrong with your home network. Before you rush to buy a fancy Wi-Fi router or invest in an expensive mesh system, consider some other upgrades that deliver way better performance per dollar. Your home network might not even need a dedicated mesh network; it might just need a few optimizations to perform dramatically better.

4 Android Auto tweaks that transformed my car’s infotainment system
Most of us treat Android Auto as a utility to set up once and never touch again, trusting Google's default settings, hoping the experience is safe and functional for the widest audience possible. For me, though, functional isn't as good as a personalized user experience, and even in its current...
Most of us treat Android Auto as a utility to set up once and never touch again, trusting Google's default settings, hoping the experience is safe and functional for the widest audience possible. For me, though, functional isn't as good as a personalized user experience, and even in its current state, missing all the good bits Google announced at the Android Show last week, AA packs plenty of scope for customization.

Cron inside WSL beats Windows Task Scheduler for one reason: it actually works the way I think
You've probably already heard the standard pitch for WSL. Windows Subsystem for Linux gives users an environment to run Linux apps, commands, and graphical tools. That pitch is accurate, and the fact that you can access Linux without dual-booting or spinning up a separate VM is reason enough to install...
You've probably already heard the standard pitch for WSL. Windows Subsystem for Linux gives users an environment to run Linux apps, commands, and graphical tools. That pitch is accurate, and the fact that you can access Linux without dual-booting or spinning up a separate VM is reason enough to install WSL. But there's another handy way to use it that you may not expect. I like to take advantage of the Linux cron utility to automatically run scripts against my Windows filesystem, which is natively accessible under WSL.

I quit using Adobe Firefly for a free open-source alternative

The controversies around image and video generation are hard to ignore; whether training data was scraped without consent, or artists are getting compensated, or whether the outputs are doing something genuinely new or just laundering someone else's style. Adobe Firefly was the one that felt the least icky since it's trained on licensed Adobe Stock content and public domain stuff, but it's still paywalled past the free tier credits. On the other end of it, there's ChatGPT, which had its whole Studio Ghibli moment last year that I'd rather not get into here.
