RSS feeds have been my go-to for staying informed, from Google Reader to Feedly and Inoreader. But Google Reader’s shutdown, ever more bloated interfaces, rising subscription costs, and privacy concerns have made third-party services less appealing. Rather than relying on platforms that could change overnight, I turned towards self-hosting. With a NAS at home already running other services, adding an RSS reader made sense. After testing a few options, I settled on FreshRSS — an open-source, self-hosted feed aggregator that offers the perfect balance of simplicity, power, and control.

Warner Bros. Discovery just released a new trailer for the second (and maybe last) season of The Last of Us, offering an action-packed view of the fraught world Pedro Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) and his daughter Ellie (Bella Ramsey) are facing. Things look bleak for both of them, and the show’s fungal-based zombies don’t seem to have become any less dangerous. The trailer’s centerpiece is a snowy human settlement that, at one point, is assaulted by a zombie horde. There are lots of explosions and at one point, a monstrous zombie being blasted by a flamethrower. There are also brief clips of characters fleeing in the woods and an ominous close-up of a sickle just before a shot of someone being hanged.Interspersed with shots of them are flashbacks of Joel and Ellie, the latter of whom is intense in shots of her sprinting and firing a handgun or running over the top of an underground train. There are brief clips of other characters, including a man and his daughter who seem to be fleeing something — or someone — in the woods. The trailer closes on Ellie saying to what looks like a guilt-stricken Joel, “You swore.”The Last of Us season two also stars Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon, Isabela Merced as Dina, and Kaitlyn Dever as Abby. It debuts April 13th on Max.

Knowing which component to upgrade first can be tricky for PC users. Often, it's not terribly clear where the fault lies, while sometimes, you might be swayed by a desire to upgrade to a new and expensive product just for the sake of it. The signs pointing to a necessary RAM upgrade, however, are easier to spot than most. Your PC will make it clear that it's running out of memory, and the ball will be in your court.

If you're like most people, you probably buy one graphics card and use it for a few years at a time. As of recent times, NVIDIA has commanded a very large portion of the consumer GPU market, so chances are, you probably own an NVIDIA GPU. But what if you wanted to switch manufacturers? There are many reasons one might make the switch to AMD, whether that is perceived value, features, or otherwise. Once you've purchased your shiny new GPU from the Red Team, you should consider these 5 things when installing and using your new graphics card.

Many of us have a preferred browser — the one we immediately install on any new computer we set up. For me, it's Chrome. While it doesn't have all the features I'd like to see in a perfect browser, I've grown accustomed to using it daily. But are there benefits to using multiple browsers?

Well, it has been a wild month or so for GPU fans. We had Nvidia's first salvo of RTX 50 releases hit the market, for better or for worse. Then, we saw AMD take to the market with its own hardware. And now, just when we thought we could take a rest from all the GPU news, we hear rumors of a potential RTX Pro 6000 releasing, and it's a beast of a card.

Like any industry that's been around as long as the gaming industry has, games have had their share of scandals and controversies. There have been things that went horribly wrong, some that are still going badly, but there's so much happening in gaming (and the rest of the world) that it wouldn't be surprising if you forgot about them. But it's good to remember the scandals and the controversies, if only to be better equipped when history inevitably repeats itself.

The cool thing about keeping tabs on the Raspberry Pi community is the pure range of projects you get to see. Some of them are practical tools that can help you in daily life, and some are just plain cool. If you're into the latter, here are some awesome Raspberry Pi projects you can make that create illusions.

Adobe Illustrator often takes center stage in the world of vector design, but Inkscape is a powerful and free vector graphics alternative that digital artists shouldn't overlook. While you might associate Inkscape with simple SVG editing, it has a range of features that make it an outstanding tool for illustration, concept art, and even UI design. Here are the standout features that make Inkscape a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to dive into digital art.

Remote access software makes everything on your computer available from anywhere. More importantly, it lets you take control of someone else’s computer, making it incredibly useful for troubleshooting friends’ and family members’ devices or providing IT support.

Microsoft Excel is one of the most popular tools out there for number-crunching. However, there are a plethora of other ways you can use the software and get the most out of it. For instance, I am a freelancer who works with multiple clients. I use Excel for everything from managing my projects and tracking my progress to generating invoices and maintaining a database of potential leads. In fact, it's the only app I use to manage my work -- eliminating the need for a dedicated project management tool.

PC storage drives used to be pretty expensive if you wanted higher capacities, and the same was true for SSDs when they first came out. Over time, the price per GB of storage leveled out, so that both HDDs and SSDs are roughly the same price for up to 1TB of storage, which is the average amount in laptops or prebuilt PCs. Those lower prices mean you can have more storage drives in your PC relatively easily, as long as you have physical space and a free port to plug them in to, but it wasn't always like that.
