Karakeep is one of the apps I use every day, and I’ve wanted to add a few things to it for years. I wanted to keep sources, notes, and highlights together around a story, ask questions about what I’ve saved, and compare articles that answer the same question differently. Having all that inside the app where I already save everything makes so much sense.

Wi-Fi may be secondary on a PC, but there are times when it comes in handy. If you're building a PC today, having wireless connectivity and using it rarely is still better than not having it at all. When you're buying a motherboard, you have a choice between a board with built-in Wi-Fi and one without. Most people pick the former for convenience, but it's often the wrong choice.

A little while ago, Google shook up the scene by announcing it would no longer produce ChromeOS devices. Instead, it was moving toward Googlebooks, which trades the Chromebook's affordability for raw on-board AI processing power. Fortunately, there is good news for Chromebook fans, as the company has revealed that it will continue supporting ChromeOS for another eight years.

The flagship Bose headphones will now be able to connect to Auracast broadcasts for better accessibility. | Image: The Verge A new firmware update for the $449 Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Gen 2 adds support for Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast as beta features. The flagship Ultra headphones are the first from Bose to support the audio sharing technology, which the company plans to bring to more devices soon.Only a few major manufacturers include Auracast, and only on select headphones or earbuds - including Sony, JBL headphones, Samsung Galaxy Buds, and Sennheiser, which also released an Auracast transmitter this year. Some smaller companies, like EarFun, have added support. But Bose is one of the most recognizable names in headphones, so the fact that it' …Read the full story at The Verge.

The Headphone 1 Pro flagship headphones keep Nothing’s aesthetic while adding some surprises. | Photo: John Higgins / The Verge Nothing has been on a bit of an audio tear this year, releasing the solid Headphone A and the surprisingly good Ear 3A earbuds. The Headphone A released at $199, while the earbuds are under $100, leaving room for something fancier. That something is the Nothing Headphone 1 Pro, the company's new $399 flagship over-ears that surprised me with everything they offer. They include what you'd expect from a pair of flagship headphones, such as active noise cancellation (ANC), multiple sound profiles, and easy-to-use controls. They also have a few things you might not: a triple-driver design, Auracast, and something I've never seen before: a Flat E …Read the full story at The Verge.

I probably don't have to tell you that most AI chatbots have a habit of telling you what you want to hear, and for many users, that's exactly why Claude stands out. It seems to be one of the few that actually disagrees with you when you're wrong and doesn't validate every single thing you tell it. This seems like a pretty low bar, but after years of ChatGPT telling people how every idea they have is brilliant and everything they think is valid, this is actually a big deal.

This year has been the year of vibe-coding tools - or rather vibe-designing, vibe-prototyping, prompt-to-prototype, whatever you want to call it. It's probably safe to say that Replit and Lovable have been leading the pack, though I actually only started giving them a real shot after Claude Design happened, which was my true first impression of a vibe-design tool.

I’ve been a fan of Proxmox ever since I first used it with my first ever home server, and my admiration for this virtualization platform has only grown with each passing update. That said, I’m always looking for cool alternatives to try out, and I’ve already gone through everything from popular platforms like ESXi, XCP-ng, Unraid, and Windows Server 2019 to Harvester, ZimaOS, and other obscure PVE rivals.

Most editing tools worth your while come with a subscription attached, unfortunately. And now that most of them are AI-powered, it's used to justify increased pricing and more paywalls. There's also the issue of your work sitting on servers you don't own. Photoshop's Generative Fill is processed on Adobe's cloud servers, with each generation pulling a credit from a monthly allotment tied to your plan. Canva does something similar with its one-click background remover, which isn't on the free tier and only comes with Pro.

It's always fun to see how people get old games running on new hardware; just look at all the different ways people got Doom running on devices. But what if you did the reverse and got a newer game running on older hardware? One YouTuber has slowly been making their way through Nintendo's retro consoles, and this time, they got Super Mario 64 running off a SNES.

Most laptops ship with a pretty basic webcam and have been doing so for decades. Some try to include privacy features like a physical shutter, but very few focus on the camera quality. It’s practically impossible to squeeze a very powerful camera into the super-thin top bezel. Most of us have become accustomed to the inferior webcam quality and even switched to an external one. Work demands a good webcam, and when laptop brands don’t ship one, a USB webcam can help.
