Are you on the hunt for a shiny new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090? If so, there's some good news; the GPUs have been spotted in stock, and they're currently selling for a cool $3,719. If that has put you right off of buying one, don't worry; it seems you're far from alone.

While the argument could be made that Microsoft has included some questionable apps in Windows over the years (and still does), some that the company has deprecated or flat-out abandoned were actually useful. The company has a habit of unceremoniously removing apps it deems inadequate. Some decisions are welcome, like putting Internet Explorer out to pasture. Other apps and features were helpful, and their removal isn’t appreciated. There are usually workarounds to get the retired app functionality back once it has been removed. Luckily, we have a good list of alternative apps you can use for the ones Microsoft forgot.

Microsoft releases one major Windows update every year to introduce new features to Windows 11. However, Windows Insiders don't have to wait that long to enjoy new functionalities, as they get early access to various new capabilities every month, including those that might not ship to the general releases.

Single-Board Computers are typically the most common recommendation when searching for a tiny device to power your computing projects, though they’re far from the only option. Once you dig past waves of SBCs, you may find yourself looking at a compute module. While they’re just as effective as SBCs at bringing your tinkering fantasies to life, compute modules differ from their comrades in arms (pun intended) in several ways.

You want the best performance of your PC, and you're on the hunt for the best DDR5 RAM to help your rig run as fast as it can. There's just one little hurdle: do you go with the XMP or EXPO kit?

With the prevalence of hustle culture and a crowded online arena constantly vying for our attention, it's no wonder that many people rely on productivity apps to keep organized. But as I explore more apps to improve my focus and task management, I've found that I encounter more problems than solutions.

When it comes to self-hosted platforms, few come close to competing with the likes of Notion. Now, a project backed by Germany and France (as part of an EU initiative) might finally offer a true competitor in the form of Docs. It's a self-hosted, privacy-focused notebook that looks good, has some nice features, and is being actively developed. If you're looking for a Notion replacement, Docs might be it.

Portable monitors are a great way to add screen real estate to your current setup without taking up a lot of space. The best part is that you can also take it with you on the go, making it a versatile tool that's great for any occasion. With that said, we think this one from Arzopa is going to be worth taking a look at, coming in at 16.1 inches, and at a price that can't be ignored at just $77.

While 3D printing tends to be a time-consuming hobby, there are reliable strategies that can accelerate your 3D printing process. These ideas aim to maintain the consistent, high-level results you expect without cutting corners or compromising on essential details. By focusing on hardware improvements and software optimizations, you can enhance efficiency and still produce parts that look great and perform well.

The network-attached storage (NAS) has evolved into a fully-fledged server, allowing you to install and host various services. Doing so makes it possible to configure your home or office with numerous self-hosted apps and services. Although Synology has an app store, I recommend using Docker containers where possible. I'll run through a few of my favorite Docker containers that you can (and should) run on your Synology NAS.

Cats make the internet go 'round, so it's only natural that there are plenty of games out there that star our favorite feline friends. If you're in the mood for a cute game but not for spending money, the Epic Games Store has two titles you can grab for completely free. However, they're not going to stay that way for long.
