Out of the PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox mobile apps, this is the one you really need

Gaming on any of the three main home console platforms these days has become a lot more complicated. Each of the three console platform makers, which include Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox, has their own subscription services to go with their platform to play online with. But alongside that, each one also has its own mobile app that can be tied to an account for the platform you play games on. If you have an Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus account, you can access the Xbox and PlayStation apps to engage with different parts of the services. The same goes for Nintendo, which can be connected to a Nintendo account that you access through your Nintendo Switch 2 and the Nintendo eShop. All three of them have various things that get players to continuously interact with their platform in different ways.

Your PS5 is probably plugged into the wrong HDMI port, and it’s killing your gaming experience

Recently, I found myself in the market for a new television, but as someone who's not necessarily a television enthusiast, my focus was on features like overall brightness, how vibrant the image looked, and whether the blacks were deep enough.

Cloudflare is by far the best service for home labbers and the wider internet, and that should make you nervous

The internet got safer, faster, and more accessible, and one company is responsible for a disproportionate amount of that — Cloudflare. Before building my own home lab, I spent enough time around self-hosting communities that Cloudflare appeared in every other conversation. CGNAT workaround? Use Cloudflare Tunnel. Need DNS? Cloudflare has...

I stopped paying for Obsidian after discovering VS Code can handle my notes just as well with the right extensions

Although a barebones version of VS Code works as a reliable code editor for simple programming tasks, it’s evolved into a hardcore dev environment – and you can attribute this evolution to the sheer number of extensions available in its marketplace. Whether it’s adding support for the most obscure coding...
