Dipping your toes into self-hosted projects is fun. It feels like a chore on an SBC, like a headless Raspberry Pi. It's tiring to run commands in Terminal to check the app or service status, CPU temps, or memory usage. With a capable dashboard, you can quickly access self-hosted apps and monitor crucial system information. It's natural to struggle to pick the ideal one from many options. Not every dashboard can effectively free you from that pain.

A new theatrical Star Wars movie is on the way — and this time, it actually has a premiere date. At Star Wars Celebration in Japan, Lucasfilm announced Star Wars: Starfighter, a standalone feature that is set five years after The Rise of Skywalker.It’s being directed by Shawn Levy, who most recently directed Deadpool & Wolverine, and will star Ryan Gosling. Production is due to begin this fall, and the movie will hit theaters on May 28th, 2027. The new movie is described as “an entirely new adventure featuring all-new characters set in a period of time that has not been explored on screen yet.”Lucasfilm has struggled to get Star Wars projects into theaters following The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, even though many have either been announced or rumored since then. Levy’s involvement in the Star Wars universe had been rumored for some time. In a blog post, Lucasfilm says that those other projects are still in development, including “films by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, Taika Waititi, and a new trilogy by Simon Kinberg.”Starfighter isn’t the only upcoming Star Wars movie on the schedule however, as it will be preceded by the Mandalorian spinoff The Mandalorian & Grogu, which will hit theaters on May 22nd, 2026.

GIMP is a software you'll come across most often when looking for free or open-source alternatives to Photoshop. It does serve as a viable alternative for many creators. However, many forget that GIMP was never developed or intended to be a Photoshop clone.

Over the past two decades, I have built multiple PCs, making the most of the budgets and knowledge that I had at the time. From a Pentium 3 pre-built in 2000 to a Core 2 Duo PC with no GPU in 2007, and a Ryzen 5 1600 system in 2017 to a Ryzen 7 5700X rig in 2022, I've gone through quite a lot of PC upgrades. Not all of these were sound decisions (in hindsight, of course).

Valve has been working a lot of hardware behind closed doors for more than a decade, and the fruit of the company's labor first came into the open with the very first Steam Machines. These were made by partners rather than Valve itself, but they ran SteamOS and served as a console-like interface for gamers to play their Steam games on. Back then, it was cumbersome to get Windows games running on them, and while you could install Windows on one, why would you not just buy a regular PC at that point?

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is sending out mass layoff notices that appear to be in defiance of a court order blocking further layoffs following DOGE-induced cuts. “I regret to inform you that you are affected by a reduction in force (RIF) action,” says a notice reviewed by The Verge that was sent by CFPB Acting Director Russell Vought to an agency employee. “This RIF action is necessary to restructure the Bureau’s operation to better reflect the agency’s priorities and mission.” Access to CFPB systems will be cut off after Friday, and employees will be placed on administrative leave until their official end date, the notice says. Fox Business reports that around 1,500 workers will receive RIF notices across core functions, based on an unnamed source. On Thursday night, CFPB Chief Legal Officer Mark Paoletta sent a notice of the agency’s supervision and enforcement priorities that said the CFPB would “shift resources away from enforcement and supervision that can be done by the States” and rescinded previous enforcement and supervision priority documents, The Wall Street Journal reported.In March, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration not to “terminate any CFPB employee, except for cause related to the individual employee’s performance or conduct; and defendants shall not issue any notice of reduction-in-force to any CFPB employee.” An appeals court order this month partially stayed that portion of the injunction, but only to the extent it would keep the CFPB from issuing a RIF that the agency determined “after a particularized assessment, to be unnecessary to the performance of defendants’ statutory duties.”

Once you install the Raspberry Pi OS, you can program in various languages like Python, Scratch, Java, C/C++, and others supported by Linux. Python is the most popular programming language for Raspberry Pi. Before building any projects on the Raspberry Pi, there are essential tools that you need to install, one of them being a code editor. There are those already installed by default, and they work great. However, if you need more advanced features, you must explore other options, which we have also discussed below. I believe you will find one that fits your needs.

You can never have enough storage space, which is why it's always important to upgrade when the time is right. So if you've been looking to score a great deal on a 4TB M.2 SSD, now's going to be the perfect time to pick up this Lexar NM790 SSD, as it drops to just $245 for a limited time.

If you're looking to expand your desk setup without increasing clutter and spending a fortune, then this Anker docking station is going to be right up your alley. The Anker 577 is quite popular, delivering just the right ports that you'd want from a docking station. For a limited time, you can score a hefty discount that drops the price by $109. This is the best price we've seen on the Anker 577, so we suggest you get it while it's still in stock.

As someone who studied computer science and graduated a few years ago, I'd like to think that I have a decent grasp on all things computing. I can generally have a go at most things, and even though networking was a topic that I spent a lot of time with and enjoyed, some of the finer details can be difficult to master. That's why, when building out my smart home, I've focused on doing it right the first time around.

Before we get started, let’s settle on a few things — we will be talking about some of the most fantastic single-player experiences that AAA games have given us, and we will list them in no particular order. Moreover, this is a personalized list, so not only am I aware that I will miss quite a few games heralded as masterpieces and G.O.A.T.s, but I’m hoping to keep the conversation going with more additions.

The most shocking thing about Nvidia's recent RTX 5060 Ti is that it's decent. That hasn't been the case for most of Nvidia's GPU releases this generation, but the RTX 5060 Ti offers decent value at its list price, particularly for the 16GB model. The problem is finding the RTX 5060 Ti at list price.
