There's a bunch of software we all use regularly. Some for work, others for entertainment or personal use. Among these software, a few of them may be free to use, while others may be accompanied by a price tag. While the free versions are generally no-brainers since you can use them and uninstall them whenever you feel like, it's the paid ones that require some thought, since you may be investing a certain amount of money either as a one-time fee or as a subscription plan. Unfortunately, I didn't carry out a cost-benefit analysis before spending money on some popular apps, only to realize several free alternatives do the same job. Sometimes, an even better job.

When you set up a new camera, or even go to take a picture on some smartphones, you’re presented with a key choice: JPG or RAW?JPGs are ready to post just about anywhere, while RAWs yield an unfinished file filled with extra data that allows for much richer post-processing. That option for a RAW file (and even the generic name, RAW) has been standardized across the camera industry — but despite that, the camera world has never actually settled on one standardized RAW format.Most cameras capture RAW files in proprietary formats, like Canon’s CR3, Nikon’s NEF, and Sony’s ARW. The result is a world of compatibility issues. Photo editing software needs to specifically support not just each manufacturer’s file type but also make changes for each new camera that shoots it. That creates pain for app developers and early camera adopters who want to know that their preferred software will just work.Adobe tried to solve this problem years ago with a universal RAW format, DNG (Digital Negative), which it open-sourced for anyone to use. A handful of camera manufacturers have since adopted DNG as their RAW format. But the largest names in the space still use their own proprie …Read the full story at The Verge.

From Audi to VolvoPresident Donald Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on all auto-related imports have been called “a debacle of epic proportions” and a sure-fire way to tank the auto market by crushing demand. Analysts have been predicting everything from $12,000 per vehicle price hikes to the possible “Cubanization” of the US car fleet.Now that they’ve had a few days to process the news, the automakers are starting to get their ducks in a row and make some moves.Here’s how each company is responding: AudiNow that the tariffs are in effect, the German automaker is holding all vehicles assembled in Mexico and overseas at US ports until further notice, according to Automotive News. Audi currently has 37,000 units in dealer stock and at port — which remain unaffected by the new import fees and are ready to sell. Audi reportedly said it would be marking unaffected units with a $0 “No Added Import Fee” option code for easy tracking.“We are evaluating how to best proceed for our customers and our dealers,” Audi spokesperson Mark Dahncke said. BMWBMW hasn’t announced any specific response yet, but the company said last month that it expected a €1 billion hit to its 2025 …Read the full story at The Verge.

There are many Task Manager alternatives out there, and I’ve used all the relevant ones, including Process Lasso, Process Explorer, and System Informer, but by far, my favorite is Task Manager DeLuxe. Here’s why this complex Task Manager replacement blew my mind, and I’m still using it.

Buying a CPU is often much more than a necessary upgrade — it can determine the platform you'll stay on for the foreseeable future, and the features you'll have access to. This is why it's important to spend some time finding the details about the CPU you're planning to buy. The number of specifications you'll find online might overwhelm you, especially if you're new to PCs. So, I've condensed everything down to the 5 specs you should care about, and 3 that you can ignore.

China has responded to Donald Trump’s new trade tariffs with its own charges on US goods. After Trump announced the imposition of an additional 34 percent charge on Chinese imports into the US, China has announced a levy at the same rate for US goods shipped to China. It has also barred 11 US companies from trading in the country, applied new restrictions to rare earth mineral exports, filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization (WTO), and started investigations into imports of American medical equipment.In a statement announcing the new tariff, China’s finance ministry declared that the US tariff on Chinese goods “seriously undermines China’s legitimate rights and interests,” and called it a “typical unilateral bullying practice.”Trump announced his latest levy on Chinese imports as part of new tariff rates that affect every country the US trades with, including a few uninhabited islands. It followed two separate 10 percent tariffs from earlier in the year, bringing the US’s total tariff on Chinese goods to 54 percent. He also signed an executive order ending the “de minimis” exemption for packages valued below $800, which could be a death blow for C …Read the full story at The Verge.

If you’re going to take the time to build your own PC, you might as well take a few extra minutes to make sure your monitor is up and running to give you the best performance. Often all it takes is clicking a few buttons and all those fancy settings that the box of the monitor will all be active.

There's no better solution than a portable monitor if you need to expand your screen real estate while on the go. And while there are plenty of great options to choose from, we think this one from Jsaux is going to offer something a little different thanks to its dual monitor configuration.

Backing up your PC and other devices has been a practice since the middle of the 20th century with the advent of magnetic tape storage, though one could argue it all started with punch cards. These tapes were colossal storage devices compared to USB and M.2 SSD drives of today and stored very little, with a capacity of just a couple of megabytes. This was a marvel at the time, but you couldn't even fit a three-minute .mp3 music track on one. We've passed through the ages with hard drives, floppy disks, solid-state storage, and the cloud.

I love the new Nvidia app. I'm no stranger to criticizing Nvidia, especially when it comes to disappointing GPUs like the RTX 5070, but I have to hand Team Green its flowers when they're deserved. And the Nvidia app, along with its many changes, deserves some flowers.

Who doesn’t know Minecraft here in 2025? This is one of the best games of all time in any variation you could measure.
