If you’ve just begun learning about 3D printing, you might not realize how much the device is capable of. You might think it’s only useful for making fidgets, toys, and prototypes. Consumer printers can do so much more than that. In fact, you can create things that range from the incredibly useful to the gorgeous and fantastic, even with the most budget-friendly 3D printer. From everyday things that make your life easier to super cool designs that will wow your friends and family, 3D printing is a versatile tool that can help you bring your ideas to life.

Here’s what the certification logo looks like, which may be used on book covers, spines, and promotional materials.The Authors Guild — one of the largest associations of writers in the US — has launched a new project that allows authors to certify that their book was written by a human, and not generated by artificial intelligence.The Guild says its “Human Authored” certification aims to make it easier for writers to “distinguish their work in increasingly AI-saturated markets,” and that readers have a right to know who (or what) created the books they read. Human Authored certifications will be listed in a public database that anyone can access. The project was first announced back in October in response to a deluge of AI-generated books flooding online marketplaces like Amazon and its Kindle ebook platform.Certification is currently restricted to Authors Guild members and books penned by a single writer, but will expand “in the future” to include books by non-Guild members and multiple authors. Books and other works must be almost entirely written by humans to qualify for a Human Authored mark, with minor exceptions to accommodate things like AI-powered grammar and spell-check applications.“The Human Authored initiative isn’t about rejecting technology — it’s about creating transparency, acknowledging the reader’s desire for human connection, and celebrating the uniquely human elements of storytelling,” guild CEO Mary Rasenberger said in a statement on Wednesday. “Authors can still qualify if they use AI as a tool for spell-checking or research, but the certification connotes that the literary expression itself, with the unique human voice that every author brings to their writing, emanated from the human intellect.”

Ever since I graduated from school, I've stopped taking notes in physical notebooks. I now take notes on my smartphone, tablet, or laptop like most people online. My default note-taker has been Google Keep for years now -- primarily because it came pre-installed on my smartphone a long time back, and I didn't bother looking for third-party options. But, more recently, I learned that there are several apps that offer extra functionality and help you take notes in a better way. This opened up a rabbit hole for me to decipher the best note-taking app out there.

Anyone who's used Windows in recent years has likely heard of Windows PowerShell at some point. This CLI-based scripting tool and terminal has been around for nearly 19 years at this point, and it's a pretty important tool for IT admins and enthusiasts. Scripting helps you automate tasks and get certain things done faster. Plus, for tasks you'd usually do with the Command Prompt, PowerShell can have more human-friendly language.

Vodafone has made what it calls “the world’s first” satellite video call using a standard smartphone, in a test of a system it says will provide mobile broadband service to 4G and 5G phones without dedicated satellite hardware. The service, using satellites from SpaceX rival AST SpaceMobile, is expected to launch in Europe before the end of 2025.AT&T and Verizon have also cut deals with Texas-based AST SpaceMobile to provide satellite-to-smartphone services across the US. The company has received FCC approval to begin testing its US-based coverage for AT&T this spring, meaning a full rollout is likely to lag behind Europe.Last year SpaceX demonstrated its own Starlink satellite-based video call between two US-based employees using “unmodified mobile phones.” That means Vodafone’s effort may not quite be a world-first, though unlike SpaceX it made the call from a remote area that apparently has no existing cell service.For Vodafone’s demonstration, an engineer (and, charmingly, his dog) made the call to Vodafone CEO Margherita Della Valle from an unnamed “remote mountain region” of Wales which the company says has never had mobile coverage before. The quality isn’t pristine — the video is choppy, with noticeable lag — but the call, which lasts about 45 seconds, does seem stable.Vodafone partnered with AST SpaceMobile for the satellite service, using the five low Earth orbit BlueBird satellites the company has launched so far. The signal is routed through a space-to-land gateway which connects the satellites to Vodafone’s terrestrial network. Vodafone sees it as a “complementary” technology that can plug the gaps in its existing mobile network, covering remote areas including mountains and out at sea. The direct-to-smartphone satellite service is expected to “close the last remaining coverage gaps” in Europe in 2026.AST SpaceMobile’s satellite system connects using standard 4G and 5G signals, so there’s no requirement to use a phone with dedicated satellite components. Beyond video calling, Vodafone says it offers a “full mobile broadband experience,” with peak speeds of up to 120 megabits per second, that “goes beyond other low Earth orbit satellite constellations which have so far only facilitated text messaging.”Satellite connectivity is already available on certain iPhones and Google Pixel phones that include specific modem components, but is mostly limited to emergency alerts, location-sharing, and SMS messages. T-Mobile is beta testing its own US network in partnership with the Starlink Direct-to-Cell service that will also work with standard smartphones, though this will be limited to text messages at first, with calls and data to be added in the future.“Vodafone’s job is to get everyone connected, no matter where they are,” says Della Valle. “We are bringing customers the best network and connecting people who have never had access to mobile communications before. This will help to close the digital divide, supporting people from all corners of Europe to keep in touch with family and friends, or work, as well as ensuring reliable rural connectivity in an emergency.”There’s been no announcement yet about pricing for the service.

After Nvidia showed off the new RTX 50 series, the world has been abuzz with talk about DLSS. Some people have been discussing how the new frame-generation technology can help give the world of graphics technology a boost in the frames department, while others are a little more critical. Now, the company has released DLSS 4 to the app, which the company claims is the biggest upgrade since DLSS 2.0's release in 2020.

When you have a trail of photos, messages, memories, videos, and online creations scattered across devices and platforms, it is important to document everything in one location. While there are countless apps designed to archive and showcase our digital lives, they often come with limitations or hefty subscription fees. Here is where OneNote jumps in.

While Amazon has never said exactly how many customers it has, a lot of people use Eero routers in their homes — and many people are still using the default, out-of-the-box settings. You could be missing out on speed or dealing with minor annoyances that a few quick tweaks could correct. All you need to do is take the time to customize your router's settings within the Eero app. And here's the best part: you don't need an extensive understanding of networking to do it.

If I ask you to name a horror game from Capcom that heralds from the PS1 era, there's a good chance that you'll name Resident Evil. And why wouldn't you? The series is still getting entries and fan support to this day. However, a handful of people would wistfully reply with "Dino Crisis," the game that didn't make it out of the PS1 era. If you want to revisit this classic horror game, I'm pleased to tell you that Dino Crisis 1 and 2 are now on Good Old Games, and you can buy them right now.

Whether you're still pretty new to the gaming scene or have been holding a controller since the Atari days, there's always something cool about video game preservation. For the veterans, they're a trip down memory lane; for those who are relatively new to the scene, they're a cool insight into how games played and felt and can give background on how some of the most powerful IPs in the gaming world got their footing as a fledgling title.

Keychron makes one of the best mechanical keyboards that you can buy in 2025. And while the Keychron Q1 Pro might be out of reach for many due to its $200 price tag, the brand thankfully offers many other options that won't break the bank. Those that have been looking for a full-size keyboard and want something affordable and reliable will be happy to know that the Keychron C2 is now on sale for Amazon Prime members, with a discount that drops the price down to just $40.

We've extensively covered Intel's woes in the CPU space, but the company is making serious ground with discrete GPUs. I didn't think much of the original A-series Arc launch from Intel. The cards were good value but fell short in-game, largely down to software. Intel fixed this over time and now it was time for me to give the Battlemage series a try. After reviewing the Intel B570 on a 4K panel set to 1440p, I decided to see how far I could push this $219 GPU realistically with a 49-inch ultrawide monitor set to 5120x1440. It went better than expected.
