Stop cranking infill to 50%, your 3D prints don’t need it

When I first got into 3D printing, I treated infill like a strength slider. If 10% was decent, then 20% had to be better, and 50% sounded even safer. That logic felt reasonable when I was still learning what actually made a print durable. It also led me to burn...
When I first got into 3D printing, I treated infill like a strength slider. If 10% was decent, then 20% had to be better, and 50% sounded even safer. That logic felt reasonable when I was still learning what actually made a print durable. It also led me to burn through far more filament than I needed, adding print time to almost everything I made. Looking back, I think infill is one of the most misunderstood slicer settings for everyday printing.

This best-selling 4TB SSD is down to a price that shouldn’t be ignored

We've seen the rise of SSD prices over the past year or so, and it doesn't look like things will be changing anytime soon. So, when we get even a small deviation from the norm in terms of new pricing, it's usually a signal to pick up some storage, that...
We've seen the rise of SSD prices over the past year or so, and it doesn't look like things will be changing anytime soon. So, when we get even a small deviation from the norm in terms of new pricing, it's usually a signal to pick up some storage, that is, if you really need it.

I gave Claude and NotebookLM the same job for a week — and fired one of them

It’s probably safe to say NotebookLM has been, and often still is, my go-to for a study sesh. It’s so easy yet so practical - you dump stuff in, ask questions, test your knowledge, and call it a day. The answers would point to something real instead of just sounding...
It’s probably safe to say NotebookLM has been, and often still is, my go-to for a study sesh. It’s so easy yet so practical - you dump stuff in, ask questions, test your knowledge, and call it a day. The answers would point to something real instead of just sounding confident or affirming whatever’s in your prompt. Then other AI tools came into the mix, and they’ve stepped up their game in the study department.

These are the mice all budget gamers should be looking at

There are plenty of options out there when it comes to budget mice, but if you want something reliable and cheap, we think these are some of the options that stand out from the rest. The G502 and G305, both of which come from Logitech, are fan favorites, offering plenty...

The G502 and G305, both of which come from Logitech, are fan favorites, offering plenty of features for great prices. You can't really go wrong here if you're looking for something new.

Stop blaming your 3D printer for slow prints, your slicer settings are sabotaging you

A lot of people blame their 3D printer when prints take forever. It’s an easy assumption to make, especially when the machine is right there moving back and forth like it’s stuck in molasses. But in plenty of cases, the hardware isn’t the real problem. The bigger issue is that...
A lot of people blame their 3D printer when prints take forever. It’s an easy assumption to make, especially when the machine is right there moving back and forth like it’s stuck in molasses. But in plenty of cases, the hardware isn’t the real problem. The bigger issue is that the slicer is quietly telling the printer to work in the most time-wasting way possible.

Now the FAA says gamers are the answer to its air traffic controller shortage

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has struggled for years to have enough air traffic controllers to address shortages, with the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) saying in January that the number of people in the job in the US has declined by around 6 percent "in the last decade."

Warp isn’t really a terminal anymore, and I tried its new agentic coding mode

Warp started out as a faster, prettier terminal. It used blocks instead of raw text, a modern input field, GPU rendering, and a UI that didn’t feel stuck in the 80s. But that version of Warp is basically gone now. What you’re looking at today is something else entirely.

After one of its choppiest preview cycles in years, Linux 7.0 is almost ready

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...
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.

The XPS 16’s redesign proves Dell learned from its mistakes

Last year, Dell did us dirty by changing the XPS name to the Dell 16 Premium, and while the hardware was still good, the name sucked. To their eternal credit, the company listened to its fans, and the XPS name is back for 2026.

RapidRAW is the free, open-source Lightroom alternative I’ve been waiting for

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.
