Let’s say you finally decided to buy the Raspberry Pi 5 after hearing good things about the newest member of the most popular SBC family. If you’re into creating DIY projects, you may have already exhausted most of the cool stuff you could pull off with just the SBC.

If you have an iPhone and you live in Europe, then you've probably already discovered that you can now install third-party app stores on your smartphone. When I went to try and download Delta, it wasn't available in Europe on the App Store, and Riley Testut's AltStore is the official way to download it here.

Windows updates can be fairly time-consuming due to several factors including download size, installation time, and the duration of the reboots that are needed to activate an update. Microsoft tried to solve a portion of this problem back in 2021 when it reduced the size of Windows 11 updates by 40%.

Having just put its ChatGPT competitor in a bunch of places across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, much of the call focused on exactly how generative AI will become a money-making endeavor for Meta.
