Contrary to popular belief, home labs don’t require a lot of investment. Containerization distros, for instance, can deliver solid performance on SBCs, while Proxmox and OpenMediaVault pair well with budget-friendly systems and outdated PCs.

The Windows taskbar has remained largely unchanged over the years. While Microsoft has made a few tweaks here and there, like bringing back features such as dragging and dropping to the taskbar, the core design has stayed the same.

To say people have been voracious over the latest GPUs is a bit of an understatement. Even the GTX 5090, which featured an eye-watering MSRP of $2,000, sold so well that retailers had to begin selling it way above the regular price just to prevent it from selling out. Now, Amazon has revealed its master plan: restricting some card sales to Prime subscribers

Though Superman is clearly going to get the living daylights beat out of him at some point in James Gunn’s upcoming DC Studios feature, the movie’s latest trailer puts a spotlight on how the Man of Steel gets put back together again.During its presentation at this year’s CinemaCon, Warner Bros. shared an extended sneak peek from the new Superman, and the studio has just posted the footage online. For the most part, the video focuses on a very badly-wounded Superman (David Corenswet) begging for his dog, Krypto, to drag him home because he’s unable to walk or fly. While it’s played for comedy, it’s a little morbid to see Superman’s body flopping around like most of his bones are broken. But the scene becomes much weirder (in a good way) as Krypto drags Superman to a very inspired take on the Fortress of Solitude, where a team of cape-wearing medical robots are ready to run triage. Along with a very wild shot of the robots concentrating the sun’s light to heal Superman, the trailer also features longer shots of Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion).Gunn is obviously banking on audiences digging a wilder, more whimsical world of superheroes, and it might pay off when Superman hits theaters on July 11th.

We've extensively covered network-attached storage (NAS) here on XDA, and this will only continue as the segment grows with more people looking to self-host services and store more data locally. For World Backup Week, you'll want to consider picking one up for your home if you plan on storing backups and other sensitive data. I first purchased a NAS enclosure in 2017, having previously read about them but never tried one due to an over-reliance on cloud storage. That all changed when I bought a two-bay Synology NAS.

Who doesn’t know Minecraft here in 2025? This is one of the best games of all time in any variation you could measure. Whether it’s the simple design and art style that allows players to dive in quickly, or the soothing music while exploring the different terrains, it has become one of the most recognized franchises on the planet.

Microsoft is testing Insider builds that use the modern ReFS file format instead of the more common NTFS for a clean installation of Windows 11. When you install a supported version of Windows using an ISO or from a USB drive, you can choose ReFS or the default NTFS format when you reach the “setup” screen, where you enter the region and language and your license key. While not explicitly mentioned in Microsoft’s release notes for Insider build 27823 (Canary), PhantomofEarth on X noticed this Flexible Storage option.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The cool thing about SBCs is that they can add a new spin to the old and familiar. Whether it's turning furniture into SBC-powered devices or remaking classic consoles using emulators, Raspberry Pis can make the old feel new again. So, what better way to modernise the ancient game of Go than by adding a fun Raspberry Pi-powered layer to it?
