All things considered, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Linux. I only started using it in May of this year, but I've quickly fallen in love with it and much prefer using it over Windows. I've learned a lot in that short span of time, and a there are a lot of terminal commands I've had to learn to really get familiar with how Linux works.

With so many different Nintendo characters getting their own series of games, only a handful of them stand out enough to resonate with audiences over time. Wario is one of those characters that has been in and out of his own misadventures, despite being a character in the Super Mario series. What started off as an antagonist run to Mario on the Game Boy with Super Mario Land 2, eventually turned into a lovable anti-hero with monumental greed on the Nintendo GameCube with Wario World. Unfortunately, much of what made Wario and his games special was held back in favor of the WarioWare games, which has kept the character from truly breaking out into bigger things.

There is something deeply appealing about Raspberry Pi projects that promise creativity, control, and a good story at the end. I have built plenty of Pi setups that have earned a permanent place in my home lab. Others worked exactly as planned, yet still disappointed me over time. These are the projects that taught me valuable lessons, mostly by convincing me they were not worth repeating.

When it comes to home labbing, security is something that you need to take seriously from day one. Many self-hosted applications are just as useful when you're out and about, and configuring that secure access can be quite difficult to get right for someone new to the space. If you're new, "best practices" when it comes to secure, remote access can be hard to figure out, and with a litany of contradicting information out there, it can be overwhelming to even get started. That's why, if I had to pick one tool for a new self-hoster to learn first, it would be Tailscale.

Storage and RAM prices are on the rise as of late, but that doesn't mean you can't get some stuff for a good price. While SSDs are the preferred storage method, going with an HDD is going to be more affordable. With that said, this 14TB Western Digital Elements external hard drive is now being discounted to $200. It's not the cheapest price we've seen, but it's still a pretty hefty discount from its original retail price of $280.

Thierry Breton, former EU Commissioner for Internal Market and Services, speaks at the event "Economic Transformation, Net-Zero Valley and Digitalization" in May 2024. On Tuesday, the Trump Administration followed through on a threat of retaliation targeting foreigners who are involved in content moderation. The State Department announced sanctions barring US access for former EU commissioner Thierry Breton, as well as four researchers, while issuing an intentionally chilling threat to others, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio claiming, "The State Department stands ready and willing to expand today's list if other foreign actors do not reverse course."One of the researchers the State Department says is banned and now deportable, is Imran Ahmed, who runs the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), an …Read the full story at The Verge.

If you're a student, researcher, or otherwise need to cite sources in something you're working on, Zotero is one of the best tools in your belt. It simplifies the process of collecting and organizing sources, and then makes citing those sources as simple as typing in a quick citation key. You can even sync your research across multiple devices for those times you need to hunt down a secondary or tertiary source on the go.

When I purchased a new TV a few years ago, I needed the television to check a few important boxes.

I've never had any interest in subscribing to traditional cable and have always been a cord cutter.

Apple is set to allow third-party app stores on iOS in Brazil next year after settling with the country's competition watchdog in a legal battle dating back to 2022, as reported by 9to5Mac. According to a machine translation of a press release from the Brazilian regulator CADE, it has approved a Term of Commitment to Termination (TCC) made by Apple that obligates the company to allow third-party app stores and let developers use external payment systems. The company will be able to still charge fees under a structure that isn't detailed in the release. Warnings about third-party app stores and external payment systems must also have neutra …Read the full story at The Verge.

So, one of the best open-world games of all time just got a new remaster, and I can't really say it's finally on par with the 2025 PC experience (because it's not), but for the first time in fifteen years, it's finally closer than ever. Red Dead Redemption just received a native remastered version on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and even Android and iOS.

If you’re in the market for a new Android smartphone — or on the hunt for a solid last-minute gift — Google’s Pixel 10 is a great place to look. We consider it the best Android phone you can buy, and right now, you can grab it at Amazon starting at $449 ($350 off) when you use promo code PIXEL10, which drops Google’s entry-level flagship to its lowest price to date. If you prefer a better cameras or a bigger screen, Amazon is also offering the Pixel 10 Pro and the Pixel 10 Pro XL for $649 ($350 off) and $799 ($400 off), respectively, using the same code.Google Pixel 10 (128GB)Where to Buy: $799 $449 at Amazon (with code PIXEL10) $799 $599 at Best Buy $799 $599 at GoogleGoogle Pixel 10 ProWhere to Buy: $999 $649 at Amazon (with code PIXEL10) $999 $749 at Best Buy $999 $749 at Google StoreIn her review, Verge senior reviewer Allison Johnson called the Pixel 10 a great, basic Android phone that offers some notable upgrades over its predecessor. It features a 6.3-inch OLED screen and a 120Hz refresh rate, along with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, making it easy to see in direct sunlight. It also includes an array of helpful AI-powered tools and a dedicated telephoto camera — a first for a non-Pro Pixel phone — which is great for capturing portrait photos.One of the Pixel 10’s more notable upgrades, though, is the addition of Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets — arguably the coolest part of the device — which means you don’t need a separate case for easy and precise charging alignment. The device also includes Google’s Tensor G5 chip, which is the same one found in the pricier Pro models; however, the Pixel 10 has slightly lower RAM (12GB versus 16GB). Still, you shouldn’t notice any major differences in everyday performance, unless you’re really pushing it with heavy multitasking and serious mobile gaming.Our main gripe with the Pixel 10 is that its main and ultrawide cameras aren’t quite as good as those on the Pro. That said, the standard Pixel produces pictures that are perfectly fine, while the telephoto camera makes for a nice addition. At its normal $799 price, we think the Pixel 10 is already a great value. At $449, it’s a dang good deal.Read our full Pixel 10 review.
