If you're someone that's serious about typing and have been looking to transition into a new keyboard, the mechanical variety is going to be a great way to go. Now, we all have different needs, so finding one that fits the way you type might take some trial and error, but it never hurts to give a top-rated keyboard a try, especially when you can get it at a fraction of its original price.

Graphical apps are not going anywhere, anytime soon. Most of the world still runs on them since they are familiar, visual, and easy to pick up. But if you spend a lot of time in the terminal, you start noticing that GUI tools often slow you down. The more GUI apps you open, the heavier your system starts to feel. You also spend more time switching windows, clicking through menus, and waiting for interfaces to respond.

Shopping for storage is no easy task as it currently stands. The DRAM crisis has affected RAM, of course, but solid state storage has been hit hard. Maybe not as hard as memory, but it still uses the same components, just not in as much abundance. That makes hunting for deals even more crucial, and despite what conventional wisdom might tell you, buying a used enterprise SSD is a great way to save a buck while still getting a high-performance SSD.

Microsoft Windows is the most popular desktop OS in the world, mostly because it's powerful, customizable, and almost every application or service that a power user will ever need is plug-and-play on the platform. As mighty and reliable as the OS may be, it does come with some features and applications that the average user never asked for, and they can often end up draining valuable system resources.

When I'm traveling for work, one of my favorite things to do is to watch cable TV in my hotel room. Whether it's an ancient episode of Law & Order, Storage Wars, or an ironic few minutes of Fox News, there's something freeing about not being able to truly decide what's on a channel at any given time.

Hoto makes electric screwdrivers for different budgets. If you don’t want to spend much, you can get its most basic model, which we’ve recommended many times. That one comes with 25 bits, and has three levels of torque for $29.99 (usually $59.99). But if you want more power and versatility, its PixelDrive model might be the better option. It offers six levels of torque, plus two speed options: 80RPM for precision-oriented tasks, and a 200RPM setting for faster action. Hoto has knocked $20 off its price, and you can pick it up for $59.99 at Amazon.Hoto PixelDriveHoto’s latest electric screwdriver delivers an adjustable 6Nm of torque, along with a built-in pixelated display that lets you check the battery life and other info.Where to Buy: $79.99 $59.99 at AmazonThe PixelDrive also offers more bits than Hoto’s basic model (30 versus 25) and a bigger battery (2,000mAh versus 1,500). This model features a 360-degree LED light near the bit to illuminate where you need to screw or unscrew, and its display shows the battery level as well as your torque selection. While the carrying case included with the affordable Hoto electric model is already miles ahead of what’s included with most competing products, the stacking cylindrical bit case set included with the PixelDrive goes a step further. Its camera lens-inspired design should blend in a little more easily wherever you like to tinker.

3D printer upgrades usually start with hardware because it’s easy to picture. A better hotend sounds faster, a hardened nozzle sounds tougher, and a new extruder promises cleaner prints with less drama. Those upgrades can absolutely matter, and on the right machine, they can make a noticeable difference. Still, the biggest improvement I ever made didn’t come from swapping metal parts on the printer itself.

Amazon is going on the defensive after a report from The Wall Street Journal revealed that the ecommerce giant plans to slash shipments with the United States Postal Service, which said this week that it's running out of money.

"We do purchase commercially available information that's consistent with the Constitution and the laws under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and it has led to some valuable intelligence for us," Patel said at a hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday. Patel would not commit to senators' requests that the agency stop buying Americans' location data. "Doing that wi …Read the full story at The Verge.

Early AI chatbots were limited to text input only, with document upload becoming a feature after the initial wave of the chatbot boom. It’s usually still not the main selling point of any chatbot today, but it’s one of the most useful features for incorporating your existing work into an AI chat. Now, you can just drop in your documents and ask for whatever you need from it.

Internet platforms' liability shield Section 230 faced another round of attack at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on Wednesday, this time with two distinct undercurrents complicating the conversation. One was an unprecedented wave of ongoing legal challenges to the law's scope, and the second was a heightened bipartisan concern over government censorship."Section 230 is not one of the Ten Commandments," Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) said in his opening remarks. "This idea that we can't touch it, otherwise internet freedom incinerates, is preposterous." Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have introduced a bill to sunset Secti …Read the full story at The Verge.
