When you want to track your health, you'd usually have to shell out for a wearable that you have to have on you for it to work. However, what if someone could read your heart rate using wireless technology? It sounds like something out of science fiction, but a team of researchers believes it's not as far-fetched as you may believe. They've published a paper claiming that, not only can Wi-Fi signals help detect heart rates with extremely good accuracy, but you can achieve these results with a super-cheap Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi chip.

For most people, chances are the built-in File Explorer on Windows 11 is everything they need. It does the job of managing files completely fine, after all. However, when you realize that there are a ton of alternative options out there, you quickly start to realize they offer features and improvements that make the experience so much better.

AMD's Ryzen Master Game Mode is designed to boost CPU performance and offer you better gaming performance by limiting the number of CPU cores active during a gaming session. While games do benefit from additional CPU cores, that benefit tends to taper off after about 12 cores. Most games are optimized for 6-8 core CPUs, so most gamers need just 6-8 CPU cores for their gaming rig.

Ever since Gamescom 2025, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has been the talk of the town. Whether because of its weird, "experimental" social co-op campaign, or because of the backlash Treyarch has been facing about whimsical skins for their operators, the one thing that can't be denied is that we're all looking forward to November when the game comes out.

USB sticks or flash drives aren't as popular as they used to be. With cloud storage and wireless data transfers now becoming popular, USB thumb drives have almost vanished. However, I still have a couple of them lying around that I wanted to put to good use. Since their storage capacity is too low, I explored alternative use cases for these USB drives. That's when it struck me that I could convert these USB sticks into a portable repository of apps and programs for troubleshooting issues with my computers, routers, and servers. Essentially, a USB drive that has all the important tools in one place.

Mini PCs are a great option for a home PC or work setup, offering the experience of a desktop PC without taking up as much space as a mid-sized tower with additional portability. While most folks won't commute with a mini PC, it is a possibility. And the PC itself being so small makes it easier to move in the event you need to change apartments or want to redecorate your office.

It's bad news for people who aren't a fan of the direction Microsoft is going with Outlook. One of its popular mobile variants, Outlook Lite, garnered significant attention and downloads, becoming a cornerstone for many people's workflows. However, it seems like it wasn't that crucial for Microsoft to keep, as it has announced that Outlook Lite is getting the chop, only three years after it came out. And while the company never stated why it's doing this, I have a sneaking suspicion you and I both know why.

It's not every day we see a huge discount on a game I haven't heard of before now. It's even rarer that the game has "overwhelmingly positive" reviews—that's a rating of 95% or higher—and yet somehow managed to slip my radar. And yet, here we are with Worldless, a game I've literally learned about five minutes ago because it's on the biggest sale Steam has ever seen. Well, I guess you learn something new every day.

Like many Obsidian users, I have spent countless hours trying to find the perfect system to manage my notes, projects, and ideas. While Obsidian’s core features are powerful, I have always felt there was a major gap when it came to structured data. The need to create databases, manage lists, and visualize information in a clean, organized way often forced me to rely on other applications.

Google's working on a lot of different AI tools in Google Labs, its experimental playground, but none have taken off as much as NotebookLM. And there’s one feature that deserves most of the credit for its viral success: Audio Overviews.

You don’t need to spend a fortune to create stunning photos. For years, the photography industry has convinced us that powerful editing tools come with a hefty price tag and a mandatory subscription. But what if there was another way? I decided to build a complete photo editing workflow using only free and open-source software. I've found that with several robust and flexible tools, it's possible to handle everything from RAW file management to professional-grade color correction.

Despite all the heated debate on whether an Intel or AMD CPU and chipset is better for gaming, or whether 6-cores are enough for modern gaming, there's one major factor these debates overlook. It doesn't matter which chipset architecture you use, how many cores your SoC features, or even how many gigahertz your CPU's clock speed maxes out at.
