3D printing is a fantastic way to learn and get creative, no matter how experienced you are. Whether you’re just starting or a seasoned pro, each project you create will give you a new perspective. These projects help you build confidence in troubleshooting and experimenting. Plus, they’re a great way to learn about design principles like stability, accuracy, and finishing techniques. You’ll also see how print settings like layer height and fill density affect the final product.

While Obsidian has nailed the basics and offers a robust ecosystem, it still leaves a lot to desire. The UI is not user-friendly and feels bland, and the popular PKM tool relies on third-party extensions to fill in the feature gaps. If you have been hunting for an Obsidian alternative, you have come to the right place. Meet Logseq – it delivers a refreshingly different approach, prioritizes an intuitive, outline-first design, and offers all the essential add-ons to create a robust knowledge management system.

Nvidia's Blackwell architecture is here, and it's not been the best launch for the company. Cards have been catching fire, melting connectors and cables. A non-insignificant number of cards got past quality control with missing ROPs. There's no stock to be bought, prices are out of control, and performance just isn't where it should be after several years of development.

There are a few aspects of Windows 11 that have never really resonated with users all that much, and in response that, multiple third-party apps have appeared to allow you to customize certain Windows behaviors. Windhawk and ExplorerPatcher are two such apps, but they're vastly different — aside from the price, at least.

I started a home office transformation with the goal of creating a modern space to enhance productivity and creativity. Oh, how wrong I was. It started as an exciting project and quickly turned into a series of regrettable decisions. It became a daily reminder of my poor choices. I prioritized aesthetics over functionality and traded my reliable LAN setup for a clean look of Wi-Fi, only to run into frustrating connection issues. I have learned a painful lesson: an eye-catching home office setup isn’t always a functional one.

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts have a common mantra: "Why buy what you can make?" After all, if you have the means to create your own gadgets, you can benefit from cheaper prices, open-source software, and the ability to repair it should it break down the line. Buying expensive, closed-source hardware that refuses to let you fix them can really get on someone's nerves.

Seeing a Raspberry Pi sitting around and collecting dust is a sad sight to behold. Raspberry Pis can be put to a lot of good uses, even old ones. As such, if you have a few SBC lying around and doing nothing, here are some ways to give them a second life. And yes, these can be done with older models of the Raspberry Pi; I'm going to assume that you don't have a spare Pi 5 lying around doing nothing, albeit you can still use one for the following projects if you so desire.

In the ’90s, I read gaming magazines constantly. They were my window into the gaming world, keeping me up to date on new releases, hidden secrets, and gaming culture as a whole. But by the early 2000s, I drifted away from gaming, spending most of my free time playing music, touring, and making art. It wasn’t until COVID hit that I got back into it. My partner introduced me to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and from there, I started exploring retro games I had missed.

Mobile World Congress, or MWC, is one of the biggest trade shows in the world, and while there aren't a ton of proper computers coming out of this show, there are a lot of smartphones, plus some cool concept devices here and there. As is tradition, we've rounded up the very best products we saw at the show, so let's jump right into the good stuff. Here are the best products of MWC 2025.

Windows laptops got a breath of fresh air in 2024 with the introduction of devices featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon X chips. Not only do these chips provide tons of power, but they are also pretty efficient as well, which means better battery life when compared to current offerings powered by Intel and AMD processors.

Aside from a new color, the M4 MacBook Air looks a whole lot like last year’s model. And we’ve got the hands-on experience and pictures to prove it.Apple’s got five main updates for its refresh of the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Airs for 2025. First, it’s got a similar M4 chip to the base 14-inch MacBook Pro, though here it starts with a 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU. Also inherited from the MacBook Pros, the Airs now use the 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam that’s wider and can track you within the frame. And you can now (finally) use two external monitors and keep the lid open, essentially giving you a fancy triple-monitor setup with the lowly MacBook Air.As for that new color option, sky blue, it replaces space gray. Starlight, silver, and midnight are still around from last year (and midnight is unchanged, so expect some fingerprint smudginess). The new blue is a very pale metallic finish. You could mistake it for a silver if you didn’t see them side-by-side. I think the best way I could describe it is 2003 Toyota Matrix blue. In other words, it’s nice but not blue enough. Apple should call it non-committal blue.But the fifth thing that’s new for the MacBook Air, and likely the one many of us will care most about, is that it starts at a lower price. The 13-inch model starts at $999 while the 15-inch starts at $1,199. This is actually a return to form for the 13-inch, which used to start at that price before an increase during the M2 generation. The M4 Air may be an otherwise subtle chip-bump of an upgrade with a new bland-ish metallic finish, but $100 off makes all the difference.In addition to our hands-on with the MacBook Air we also got our first look at the new Mac Studio duo, one with the M4 Max chip and one with a new, all-out M3 Ultra. The Studios don’t look any different, but the changes inside are pretty major for hardcore pros doing some heavy-duty creative work or local AI stuff.And the new iPad Air with M3 chip? Well, it’s an iPad. Cool. I guess?Apple’s new Macs and iPads are due out next week and already up for order.

If you are still manually performing repetitive tasks in Excel, you are wasting precious hours. Excel macros offer a solution to automate complex processes with a single click. These macros go beyond filling out repetitive rows and columns, though. They unlock a world where your spreadsheets practically build themselves. I will reveal the practical and often overlooked macro techniques that will not only save you time but also elevate your Excel skills to a whole new level.
