Google spokesperson Patrick Seybold tells The Verge that the company is "assisting law enforcement with their investigations."The FBI has released two videos and a few still images.

Two years ago, I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of building a no-compromise, all-max-settings gaming PC that was equal parts aesthetic and powerful. It was everything I'd imagined growing up: glowing, fast, and overkill. It still is, honestly. This machine remains the love of my life, or one of them.

If you've been thinking about upgrading your monitor but want something just a little bit different, then this Samsung monitor might be just what you're looking for. The Odyssey Neo G9 features a massive 57-inch panel, delivering impressive screen real estate.

I find mini PCs very affordable for building a cozy home lab. My best bet was to look for refurbished or used mini (or micro) PCs at online marketplaces. Since I wanted to start small, I preferred to look for Docker containers for self-hosted services rather than a complicated direct deployment.

Infill is the slider everyone touches, almost nobody truly understands, and plenty of people blame when a print fails. That’s partly because it looks like a “strength” knob, and strength is an easy story to tell. But infill is really a supporting actor that only becomes the star in specific scenes. If you treat it like a universal fix, you’ll waste time, filament, and patience.

Self-hosting tools on local hardware may seem complicated when you’re a newcomer to the home lab space, but it’s fairly easy with the right set of tools. Docker, for example, is the simplest containerization environment for beginners, with the Compose feature letting you deploy services using YAML-based config files.

New PC gamers will tell you the game begins when you boot it up for the first time. Veteran PC gamers will tell you the game begins when you open up IsThereAnyDeal. With so many websites selling Steam keys, there's usually one website that has it on a deep discount, as long as it's a few months old. Even if Steam hasn't got it on sale, there are always sites like GOG and Humble Bundle you can check out.

On Tuesday, Discord released an update clarifying that the "vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today," without needing to use a face scan or ID to verify their age so they can use the platform without restrictions.

Mark Zuckerberg. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images At the center of a consequential case about social media liability is a key question: did Meta lie or mislead the public about the safety of its platform, while knowing something very different?The state of New Mexico opened its case Monday arguing that public statements by Meta's top executives regularly contradicted its own internal discussions and research about the harm Facebook and Instagram posed to teens. According to Don Migliori, an attorney for the state, Meta prioritized profits and its stated commitment to free expression over the safety of young users on Facebook and Instagram. Meanwhile, Meta attorney Kevin Huff told the New …Read the full story at The Verge.

As much as I adore my diverse set of applications, anything that simplifies my document management tasks has a special place in my heart… and my home server. Paperless-ngx, its AI-powered derivatives, and Firefly III are prime examples, as they organize my collection of chaotic documents, invoices, and financial transactions, all while offering the same privacy features as typical FOSS utilities.

If you're after the absolute best connectivity between your home server and the rest of your network, there's no question: it's going to be hardwired, preferably with Cat6a or above, or maybe fiber optics if you have compatible hardware. I'm not here to debate whether Wi-Fi will ever be better than Ethernet, because that's never going to be a winning argument.

As far as wireless Android Auto adapters go, Motorola's MA1 is the only official option available. The well-reviewed accessory was released over four years ago in January 2022, and now it looks like an update could drop very soon, the "Motorola MA2."
