How to create and use multiple desktops on macOS

Buying a new Mac is certainly exciting. You’re ready to download your favorite macOS apps and put Apple’s refined ecosystem to good use. After all, macOS Sonoma packs plenty of features that can boost your productivity and simplify your workflow. One of the lesser known macOS features that can help you organize your digital life is multiple desktops. This means you can configure different desktop experiences unique to the setting and needs you have. Some have multiple desktops with apps and files arranged in a curated view for work, personal, or research purposes. It’s true, you don’t have to depend on a single desktop experience on your Mac, and we’ve detailed how to create and use multiple in the steps below.

Google Health is here, but a lot of people want their Fitbit app back instead

The Fitbit app is no more. Along with the launch of the new Fitbit Air (which you can expect a full review of once we've spent more time with it), Google has officially replaced it with Google Health, as previously announced, and many of the responses we've seen so far...

I didn’t expect delaying Windows and Nvidia updates to be the best strategy for 2026, but here we are

New Windows patches are supposed to promise stability and security, and fresh GPU drivers should be synonymous with better performance and optimization. In 2026, however, that "Download and Install" button feels like a random tile in Minesweeper, where you hope for the best and click.

I built my own Synology alternative, and the hardest part was accepting how good DSM still is

Synology network-attached storage (NAS) enclosures are among the best in the business, thanks in part to the operating system running on the turnkey devices. Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) is one of my favorite prebuilt NAS systems, as well as a shortlisted pick for best overall NAS OS. It's absolutely brilliant...

Your old PC doesn’t need a new motherboard, just a $15 adapter and a faster drive

You might have a solid, older desktop PC that handles tasks decently, but your storage needs are growing, and modern games and apps demand significantly faster speeds than old SSDs can provide you with. When looking down at your motherboard, you realize the nightmare: there are zero M.2 slots on...

A poisoned VS Code extension led to a GitHub breach, and Microsoft owns every link in the chain

Visual Studio Code (or one of its many forks) is used by a huge number of developers, and the thing that makes it worth using isn't really the editor at all. It's the extensions which make it applicable to practically any workflow or language. There's one for seemingly every language...

Claude Code is the best AI coding tool I’ve used, and I’m not entirely sure if I can recommend it

There was once a time when you'd only hear "technical people" in the traditional sense talk about coding or building stuff. No-code building tools always lingered around, but compared to what we have now, the tools that existed back then were simply toys. Now, even the most non-technical person you...

After 20 years, Nvidia finally kills off its Control Panel app

We knew it was coming for a while now. While the Nvidia Control Panel had enjoyed years of giving gamers driver updates and customisation over how the GPU works, we saw the first glimpses of the Nvidia App. It was pitched as the successor to the Control Panel, and while...

N100 mini PCs quietly killed the Raspberry Pi for home servers

Although the early Raspberry Pi units didn’t rank too high on the performance front, you’d often find folks relying on it for entry-level server tasks. Now, I’m well-aware that the Raspberry Pi wasn’t designed for home lab experiments, but these pint-sized boards were (and still are) more than enough to...

After self-hosting LLMs for a year, I realized that models are not the real bottleneck

Running self-hosted LLMs can easily turn into an endless upgrade cycle. One week you are testing new quants, the next week you are comparing benchmarks, context lengths, and VRAM usage, all hoping the next model will finally make your setup feel reliable. I went through the exact same phase. Every...
