President Donald Trump has threatened Apple with a tariff of “at least 25 percent” just for its iPhones unless it moves production to the United States.“I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. Thank your for your attention to this matter!”The threat comes a week after Trump declared that he’d “had a little problem with Tim Cook,” following reports that Apple intends to source all of its US iPhones from India, which will require ramping up Indian production. Just yesterday the Financial Times reported that FoxConn, Apple’s main manufacturer, is developing a $1.5 billion plant in southern India’s Chennai to supply iPhone displays. Apple has been diversifying its production for several years, which was accelerated by both covid and US animosity towards China.Developing…

Like many, I suffered with an ISP-provided router for many years—more than I wish to admit to, really. After tracking its performance for a while, I decided it was time to kick that useless box to the curb.

Over the last couple of months, I’ve reviewed several Network-Attached Storage enclosures and tinkered with multiple NAS-centric distributions. As such, I keep a separate set of Seagate IronWolf drives and Crucial SSDs just so I can subject the storage enclosures and NAS operating systems to a series of tests. Unfortunately, this leaves me with a few drives for my home lab experiments, and I’m often on the prowl for cheap deals on storage disks.

In the world of networking, most people are familiar with IPv4. These numerical labels, like 192.168.2.1, have identified billions of devices on the internet for decades and have been responsible for connecting those devices to the internet for decades at this point. As of 2025, less than half of Internet traffic is over IPv6, meaning IPv4 still carries the majority of data despite its fundamental limitation of using 32-bit addresses. IPv4 has been on life support for years on account of its 4.3 billion address limit, leading to the advent of IPv6 with its 128-bit address space.

When the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ launched back in 2012, it sparked a wave of excitement in the DIY and education communities. The 2014 revision brought a modest bump to the SoC and USB ports, but it's still a far cry from today’s Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5. So why did I pull one out of storage in 2025 and try to use it again? Mostly curiosity, partly nostalgia. I assumed it would be slow, frustrating, and borderline unusable, but I was surprised at how far a little patience and the right expectations could take it.

When the Asus ROG Ally debuted, it delivered the kind of performance handheld enthusiasts had been waiting for. With its AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU, 120Hz 1080p screen, and a Windows 11 environment, it felt like a pocket-sized gaming desktop. But it also came with the same flaw as most handhelds: very limited storage. With modern AAA games often exceeding 100GB, the internal SSD fills up quickly, even on the 1TB model. While microSD cards offer extra storage, they’re slower, less durable, and can bottleneck higher-performance games.

Despite the attempts from app developers to bridge the gap between different operating systems, switching from one OS to another remains quite a hassle. Not only do you have to work with a radically different interface, but you may also end up losing access to your application if it hasn’t been ported over to your new daily driver OS. For example, switching from Windows to Linux means letting go of the Adobe Creative Cloud and switching to FOSS alternatives, which is still not feasible for professional creators.

Even though we're coming up on four years since Windows 11 officially launched, a huge chunk of people still aren't quite ready to leave Windows 10 for good. While a considerable number of them choose to stick with Windows 10 because of complaints they have with the operating system itself, some simply have no choice — their PCs don't meet Windows 11's hardware requirements.

After three seasons, Amazon’s live-action take on Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson’s Wheel of Time series is coming to an end.Though The Wheel of Time‘s third season was hailed by fans as the show’s strongest chapter yet, Deadline reports that Amazon has decided not to bring it back due to its relatively high production costs and flagging viewership numbers. Similar to Amazon’s Rings of Power series, The Wheel of Time was clearly a play to produce another Game of Thrones-style hit. When the series first debuted in 2021, it managed to capture an impressively large audience and become one of Amazon’s most-watched programs. But those numbers dwindled in subsequent seasons, leading Amazon to call it quits.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter back in April right after The Wheel of Time‘s third season concluded, showrunner Rafe Judkins said that when when he and his team were first shopping the series around to studios, they ultimately chose Amazon as a production partner because it “felt like a place where they do want to invest in shows for the long term.”“There are not a lot of places doing that anymore,” Judkins said. “For Wheel of Time, it’s really important for us to be somewhere that does want to invest in shows for the long term and not just for the splash and leave.”

Doom: The Dark Ages has been ripping and tearing since launch, getting a stellar review from us, but there is one aspect of the game that has left me disappointed. Unfortunately, Doom: The Dark Ages does not have a multiplayer component. While that's fairly common for games that are primarily being sold in the single-player campaign, especially in the year 2025, the last two games had multiplayer modes.

One great way to put a spare SBC to good use is to make it a server of some kind. After all, they're really good at staying online for long periods of time, and they use barely any electricity, so they made a negligible impact on your bill. So, why not keep those boards out of the spare parts drawer and make them earn their keep?

The annual Computex show in Taipei takes place in Asus's backyard, and so it's no surprise to see the Taiwanese tech giant once again putting on a big presence. This year's Asus announcements included some impressive peripheral developments including -- just about -- the world's fastest monitor, the ultimate Doom: The Dark Ages PC build and a sci-fi styled eGPU dock.
