As someone who couldn't pick his jaw up from the floor after playing Battlefield 3 for the first time, and then getting more of the same amazing experience with Battlefield 4, I remember being disappointed with Hardline and Battlefield 1 consecutively. My problems with the latter were more about the continuity being broken, but when Battlefield 2042 was announced, I was excited again, since it was going to be a sequel to Battlefield 4.

You've probably heard about switches before, but if you've never dabbled with PoE, it's a good way to get power to your connected devices without running another set of cables. Just by connecting compatible devices using Ethernet with PoE, you can have a simultaneous data and power connection.

One of the ways to make your home network more resilient to outages is by setting up high availability and methods of failover, so that one broken or misbehaving network appliance doesn't result in no connectivity for everyone. Setting up this level of redundancy is relatively simple these days, but it will take a few hours, so block out the time accordingly.

Moving your Windows User folder to another SSD or from a legacy HDD or modern SSD can improve performance, provide a more responsive Windows experience, and increase security. The folder, located in C:Users[YourUsername], houses the main default storage folders for your data, such as Desktop, Downloads, Music, Videos, and others.

Call me paranoid if you must, but I take all sorts of precautions to bolster the security of my devices. Running a router/firewall OS with hardened rules is one of them, and I’ve been using an OPNsense-powered mini-PC for a long time to secure my home lab. However, I recently went with a fresh installation of OPNsense 25.7.2 on a separate machine, which didn’t go all that well in the beginning.

My biggest Docker mistakes weren’t just about syntax errors or configuration issues. They were the kind of mistakes that led to security vulnerabilities, bloated images, and countless wasted hours. When I started with Docker, I was focused on one thing: getting it to work. I didn’t think about best practices, and I certainly didn’t anticipate the problems that would arise later on.

The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai is the first robot vacuum mop from the company and the first to use a multifunctional dock. The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai Robot is the company's first combination robot vacuum and mop. It debuted at Dyson's Berlin store during the IFA tech show this week and is a follow-up to the company's 360 VisNav robot vacuum, which launched in 2023. Featuring a new round design, a self-cleaning roller mop, lidar navigation, and Dyson's first multifunctional dock, the Spot+Scrub also comes with an "AI" moniker because it's 2025 and doesn't everything?I spent some hands-on time with Dyson's newest robot floor cleaner and came away underwhelmed. Dyson's traditional vacuums set high expectations, but its robot versions have yet to meet them. I didn't …Read the full story at The Verge.

For years, I switched my PKM system between Notion and Obsidian. I was a power Obsidian user at heart due to its speed and simplicity of local Markdown files. The ability to own my data and work office was a powerful draw. Yet, I always found myself pulled back to Notion due to one reason — databases.

Of all the hills I was prepared to die on, my allegiance to analog note-taking was the steepest. For the longest time, I was a staunch advocate of the pen and paper, convinced that the tactile feedback of a fountain pen scratching across a page was essential to my thought process. I refused to be one of those people who needed lists on a screen to know what's next in order of business. However, I acknowledged my system was inefficient — ideas scattered across half a dozen notebooks, meeting notes in one and project plans in another, while everyday to-do lists on little scraps were misplaced all the time.

By default, Windows 11 comes with a lot of pre-installed apps. While you may find use for one or two of them, there's a good chance that there will be a ton of apps left over that you never plan on using, but will still take up space, update themselves, and sometimes run services in the background.

This is one of those accessories that you can't be without once you start carrying it around. If you've ever needed more ports on your laptop, phone, tablet, or PC gaming handheld — this Anker USB-C hub is going to be the perfect choice thanks to its compact size and expanded connectivity. While it has a retail price of $50, it can now be had for less, as it drops to just $36 for a limited time.

Warhammer 40,000 is probably the most popular tabletop wargame in the world, but it doesn't stop there. The universe and its lore have broken free of the tabletop and now have a huge array of novels, TV shows, and video games covering the IP. The games in particular can come in a wild variety of genres, including strategy, shooters, and even racing games.
