Adobe has a bit of a stranglehold on the market when it comes to creative tools, but there's actually a pretty varied array of alternatives to its most popular tools. Even Lightroom, which is used for developing RAW photos, has well-known competitors like Darktable.

Donald Trump has spun the recent rescue of a downed airman whose fighter jet was destroyed behind Iranian borders as a resounding success. But the story is very different in one of the many viral, AI-generated Lego videos that have been produced by Iranian content creation group Explosive Media in the weeks since the US and Israel began dropping bombs on the country. In Explosive Media's music video take on how things played out, the US military is a joke for losing multiple planes and helicopters, and spending "$100 million just to save one guy." The video's shots of Lego jets exploding into $100 bills and golden coins reinforce the idea …Read the full story at The Verge.

Fanttik, like Hoto, is quickly becoming a household name. The tool brand’s cordless wares are quiet, capable, and certainly more stylish than anything you’d find at your local Ace Hardware or neighborhood tool library. The S1 Pro electric screwdriver is a great example of the company’s penchant for attractive design, one you can currently grab on Amazon for an all-time low of $39.99 ($50 off) when you enter promo code YBRS9843 at checkout.Fanttik S1 Pro Cordless Electric ScrewdriverWhere to Buy: $89.99 $39.99 at Amazon (with code YBRS9843)Unsurprisingly, Fanttik’s TikTok-worthy screwdriver isn’t going to rival a dedicated drill when it comes to torque or comfort, even when talking about the smaller 12V variety. Still, it’s more efficient than a manual screwdriver when it comes to performing small- to medium-sized tasks around the home, whether that be assembling a bed or tightening the screws on your bicycle seat — two things I used it for just this week. It’s lightweight and sleek, with a 220RPM motor, three torque settings, a circular LED light, and a dedicated button for screwing in or out.In addition to the S1 Pro itself, you get a magnetic case that also houses the screwdriver and the 16 S2 hardened steel bits, which encompass everything from flathead and Allen heads to Torx bits for opening up smaller electronics. It’s also equipped with a 2,000mAh battery, which, according to Fanttik, should be enough to operate up to 340 screws. I haven’t put that claim to the test myself, but so far, so good.More ways to saveNow through 10PM PT today, April 10th, Iniu’s 10,000mAh Portable Charger is on sale at Best Buy for just $15.99 ($13 off), which is the best price we’ve seen. I’ve become a big fan of Iniu’s compact charging banks in recent years, particularly the 2oW P61L-P1 on sale here, which comes with a built-in USB-C cable, a three-year warranty, and enough juice to charge an older smartphone model like the iPhone 15 to 65 capacity in just 25 minutes.If you’re really looking to level up your newborn’s sleeping arrangements, enter the Cradlewise. The smart crib / bassinet — which is now available on Amazon for $1,709 ($90) thanks to an on-page coupon — combines a sound machine, an AI-enhanced baby monitor, and an automated rocker into a single device, with real-time notifications and sleep insights at the ready. It also easily converts from bassinet to crib, allowing you to eke out about 24 months of use, assuming you want to use it with your toddler.Speaking of all-in-one devices, Mophie’s slick Juice Pack battery case is still on sale at Amazon starting at $49.93 (about $50 off), an all-time low. The MagSafe-compatible, lanyard-equipped case can provide both impact protection and an additional 50 percent of battery life to iPhone 16 and 17-series phones, including the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro, and even the beefier 17 Pro Max.

When you’ve deployed as many containerized services as I have, you’re bound to start looking into more applications just to manage your existing toolkit. But as someone who manages everything from 3-2-1 backup nodes to Home Assistant instances in my family home, I consider my remote access tools just as important as my dashboards, monitoring agents, and SSO servers. Tailscale is the one I rely on whenever I need to connect to my offsite rigs or local home lab from external networks. After all, it’s easy to configure even on CGNAT-afflicted setups and secure enough for anxious tinkerers like yours truly.

The popular macOS app Little Snitch brought its network-monitoring tools over to Linux this week. In a blog post announcing the launch, one of the developers at Objective Development shared some early results from using the app on Linux: "On Ubuntu, I found 9 system processes making internet connections over the course of one week. On macOS, we counted more than 100." While the Linux version of Little Snitch provides the same basic functionality for viewing and disabling unwanted connections, it's not exactly the same. Objective Development says it's "not a security tool," unlike the macOS version. According to Objective Development, Lin …Read the full story at The Verge.

Linux 7.0's kernel hasn't had the best of release candidate phases. From the get-go, the release candidates showed more commit activity than usual, which sounds like it should be a good thing, but it really isn't. The release candidates aren't where new features get added; it's where features that have been added undergo testing. Therefore, the more activity a build has, the buggier it is.

A warrantless wiretapping authority that has facilitated surveillance for decades is up for renewal in Congress. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), last reauthorized in 2024, is set to expire on April 20th. A bipartisan coalition of progressive Democrats and members of the hard-right Freedom Caucus say it's long overdue for reform. But they're up against powerful figures in both parties who want to deliver a "clean" reauthorization, even as critics warn the rule is allowing President Donald Trump's administration to spy on anyone - even Americans.Section 702, first enacted in 2008, formally allows for the surv …Read the full story at The Verge.

Microsoft is finally allowing Windows 11 testers to get access to experimental features without having to download a third-party app like ViVeTool. The changes are part of making the Windows Insider Program (WIP) less confusing, with Dev and Canary testing rings simplified into a new Experimental Channel alongside a refresh of the existing Beta Channel.Microsoft has been using a technology called Controlled Feature Rollout (CFR) for years now, to gradually roll out new features to all Windows 11 users. While this is an industry standard, it's often frustrating to try and get access to experimental Windows 11 features and realize that Micro …Read the full story at The Verge.
