Capable of tracking every minute detail of your budget, finance management apps are some of the best quality-of-life-enhancing services on the block. But with budgeting applications popping up like mushrooms, you might have a hard time picking the right tool to manage your expenses. Over the years, I’ve tried to use Expensify, YNAB, PocketGuard, and several other bookkeeping services, but each tool lacked the je ne sais quoi to satisfy my budgeting needs.

While the rest of my PC components have seen a lot of churn over the years, my storage drives have remained more or less constant. I have been using the same Gen3 NVMe and SATA SSD since 2017, and even the newer Gen4 SSD I got in 2022 has been showing warning signs for the last year or so. I was running out of storage, and I finally decided to do a complete storage overhaul, replacing all the drives, even bringing back an HDD into the fold.

When the Asus ROG Ally debuted, it delivered the kind of performance handheld enthusiasts had been waiting for. With its AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APU, 120Hz 1080p screen, and a Windows 11 environment, it felt like a pocket-sized gaming desktop. But it also came with the same flaw as most handhelds: very limited storage. With modern AAA games often exceeding 100GB, the internal SSD fills up quickly, even on the 1TB model. While microSD cards offer extra storage, they’re slower, less durable, and can bottleneck higher-performance games.

After three seasons, Amazon’s live-action take on Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson’s Wheel of Time series is coming to an end.Though The Wheel of Time‘s third season was hailed by fans as the show’s strongest chapter yet, Deadline reports that Amazon has decided not to bring it back due to its relatively high production costs and flagging viewership numbers. Similar to Amazon’s Rings of Power series, The Wheel of Time was clearly a play to produce another Game of Thrones-style hit. When the series first debuted in 2021, it managed to capture an impressively large audience and become one of Amazon’s most-watched programs. But those numbers dwindled in subsequent seasons, leading Amazon to call it quits.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter back in April right after The Wheel of Time‘s third season concluded, showrunner Rafe Judkins said that when when he and his team were first shopping the series around to studios, they ultimately chose Amazon as a production partner because it “felt like a place where they do want to invest in shows for the long term.”“There are not a lot of places doing that anymore,” Judkins said. “For Wheel of Time, it’s really important for us to be somewhere that does want to invest in shows for the long term and not just for the splash and leave.”

When the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ launched back in 2012, it sparked a wave of excitement in the DIY and education communities. The 2014 revision brought a modest bump to the SoC and USB ports, but it's still a far cry from today’s Raspberry Pi 4 or Pi 5. So why did I pull one out of storage in 2025 and try to use it again? Mostly curiosity, partly nostalgia. I assumed it would be slow, frustrating, and borderline unusable, but I was surprised at how far a little patience and the right expectations could take it.

The winners of the $TRUMP meme coin contest did get to see President Donald Trump speak at a private dinner closed to the press - but his speech was probably the least exciting part of their night. They did get a better, more valuable, and potentially more lucrative experience: the opportunity to network with the biggest crypto traders in the game, win watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and attend a not-so-exclusive afterparty at the Capitol Hill Marriott afterward - all without having to complete particularly thorough background checks. The vetting process for entering the dinner was a 'pretty light' KYC checkAfter being whisked behind the gates of the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, past a throng of journalists snapping photos and protesters screaming at them for being corrupt, the 220 attendees went through security and had their IDs checked. According to one attendee, many were wealthy but some were living on normal-ish paychecks. The other guests, he said, were largely foreigners from overseas, all with an extremely high risk tolerance for gambling with crypto. The attendee said the vetting process for entering the dinner was a "pretty light" …Read the full story at The Verge.

Even though we're coming up on four years since Windows 11 officially launched, a huge chunk of people still aren't quite ready to leave Windows 10 for good. While a considerable number of them choose to stick with Windows 10 because of complaints they have with the operating system itself, some simply have no choice — their PCs don't meet Windows 11's hardware requirements.

Like many, I suffered with an ISP-provided router for many years—more than I wish to admit to, really. After tracking its performance for a while, I decided it was time to kick that useless box to the curb.

Despite the attempts from app developers to bridge the gap between different operating systems, switching from one OS to another remains quite a hassle. Not only do you have to work with a radically different interface, but you may also end up losing access to your application if it hasn’t been ported over to your new daily driver OS. For example, switching from Windows to Linux means letting go of the Adobe Creative Cloud and switching to FOSS alternatives, which is still not feasible for professional creators.

One great way to put a spare SBC to good use is to make it a server of some kind. After all, they're really good at staying online for long periods of time, and they use barely any electricity, so they made a negligible impact on your bill. So, why not keep those boards out of the spare parts drawer and make them earn their keep?

In the world of networking, most people are familiar with IPv4. These numerical labels, like 192.168.2.1, have identified billions of devices on the internet for decades and have been responsible for connecting those devices to the internet for decades at this point. As of 2025, less than half of Internet traffic is over IPv6, meaning IPv4 still carries the majority of data despite its fundamental limitation of using 32-bit addresses. IPv4 has been on life support for years on account of its 4.3 billion address limit, leading to the advent of IPv6 with its 128-bit address space.
