Self-hosting a password manager is not a complicated process. I've been using Vaultwarden as a locally hosted password manager for almost a year now. It's not a traditional Docker setup that has multiple containers running alongside the password manager. Instead, I've been using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W for the task, and it's produced better results than I ever expected. Switching from LastPass to Vaultwarden was a great move for protecting my data and keeping it on a home server rather than a cloud solution. Vaultwarden is based on Bitwarden, so I didn't have to settle for a trimmed-down version that lacks features. My Raspberry Pi quietly works in a corner, serving my passwords on my home systems and remote devices.

The biggest Switch 2 exclusives so far have largely been about scale. Mario Kart World introduced a wide open continent to race across, Donkey Kong Bananza let you smash basically everything around you, and Pokopia brought an expansive Minecraft-style creative experience to the Pokémon universe. Star Fox is different. A remake of a Nintendo 64 game, Star Fox is an on-rails shooter, with tightly choreographed action and spectacular set-pieces. This more linear structure has let the game's designers craft what is perhaps the best-looking game yet for the Switch 2. Considering that Star Fox is at its best when it makes you feel like you're righ …Read the full story at The Verge.

The Windows design philosophy has typically been to include only a default set of tools with the OS, while letting third-party developers and enthusiasts build tools to add specific features. It worked well for older Windows versions, but users slowly started craving more useful tools natively. These weren’t niche use case software and would benefit most Windows users.

With its new pickup, Slate Auto is making a simple bet: price matters more than almost anything else. The company announced today that the American-made electric truck will start at $24,950, placing it squarely in the mid-$20,000 price range it had originally promised and making it the least expensive pickup truck and EV available today. At a time when the average new vehicle costs nearly twice that amount, Slate is pitching something that has become increasingly rare in the modern auto market: a genuinely basic new vehicle that doesn't look that way.To hit that price point, Slate stripped away features many drivers now take for granted. T …Read the full story at The Verge.

Large language models (LLMs) are dime-a-dozen these days. With the release of new local models every other week, API accessibility, and a growing list of subscription-based services, finding a model that fits the exact need and nature of your workflow is no longer a problem. If anything, the problem now is deciding which model deserves your time and money.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick has been the undisputed king of affordable streaming. Because it ran on a modified version of Android, users gladly put up with a cluttered, sluggish interface in exchange for ultimate control.

Multi-color 3D printing sounds wonderfully simple until you actually watch the printer do it. You load a few spools, assign colors in the slicer, and expect the machine to produce something that looks a little more finished than the usual single-color part. Then the preview shows you another number sitting beside the model weight, and it’s not nearly as cute as the colored preview. The printed object might use 40 grams of filament, while the purge waste quietly asks for 70 more.

Slate Auto made good on thet mid-$20,000 price range promise. | Image: The Verge We now know the price of Slate Auto's affordable American-made electric truck, almost a year after the company warned it wouldn't hit its initial "under $20,000" target price. The no-frills pickup starts at $24,950 - matching the revised mid-$20,000 price range it promised last year, after the Trump administration announced it was putting an end to the $7,500 federal EV tax credit.Preorders for the Slate truck are going live today, with production scheduled to begin in autumn 2026. Customers can pay a $300 non-refundable deposit within the next 30 days to lock in a delivery date, which is expected to start in "late 2026." On its website, S …Read the full story at The Verge.

Dyson’s PencilWash cordless hard floor cleaner is on sale for $199.99 ($150 off) at Amazon. This is the lowest price yet for the powered wet mop that’s a cousin to the silly-sounding-but-awesome Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones vacuum.The PencilWash basically takes the sleek styling and design of the PencilVac and simplifies it into a single-purpose electric mop. It’s designed for all manner of hard home flooring, and its slim head and pivoting neck allow it to get low to reach underneath furniture. Dyson claims you can get 30 minutes of cleaning time before you have to pop it onto the included charging dock, and the 300ml water tank is estimated to cover up to 1,000 square feet before needing a refill.Dyson PencilWashWhere to Buy: $349.99 $199.99 at AmazonWhile the pencil name is cute, and the mop certainly looks svelte, keep in mind that it weighs around five pounds (heavier than the PencilVac) before adding any water or cleaning solution to its tank. But its self-propelling brush should help push that heft around your space without most of the weight being felt in your hand — until you’re mopping stairs.$200 isn’t cheap for a single-purpose cleaning tool (let alone its full price of $350), but the PencilWash costs much less than the $600 PencilVac Fluffycones. Our own smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, called the PencilVac “the perfect companion to your robot vacuum.” The PencilWash is like the companion for that companion. window.HYPE_DESK_CONFIG = { productImageUrl: "https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/gettyimages-2170384355-dell-dc14250nt-xnb-bk-bl-fpr-1280x1280-1.jpeg", productImageAlt: "Dell Deal Days", productTitle: "Dell Deal Days", shortDescription: "The lowest prices of the season on Dell's best hardware.", longDescription: "Dell is running its biggest sale of the season with up to $900 off laptops, desktops, monitors, and more.

Well, the price of the Steam Machine has arrived, and it's not looking pretty. Valve has set the entry-level model at $1,049, and while it's easy to point the finger at the company for setting such a steep price, it claims that it was hapless against RAM suppliers.

A NAS can start out feeling wonderfully simple. You plug in some drives, create a few shares, point your backups at it, and suddenly your files have a proper home instead of living across random machines and external drives. It feels tidy, practical, and almost boring in the best possible way. Then you add one more service, and another, and another after that.

Being able to reuse old components instead of pawning them off for a few measly bucks has been the highlight of my home labbing journey, especially with the RAM apocalypse causing PC hardware prices to spike out of control. You see, contrary to what many beginners imagine, outdated hardware and dinosaur machines are more than enough to run a couple of virtual guests.
