Bitwarden is one of the best password managers, period. It's available for free, unless you require additional premium features not included with the extensive free plan, and it can even be self-hosted from your home using network-attached storage (NAS) or single-board computer (SBC). I recommend using this password manager and Bitwarden's cloud backend, but if you wish to self-host as much as possible, I've compiled some reasons why you should (and shouldn't) attempt to do so with this app.

Wikipedia is attempting to dissuade artificial intelligence developers from scraping the platform by releasing a dataset that’s specifically optimized for training AI models. The Wikimedia Foundation announced on Wednesday that it had partnered with Kaggle — a Google-owned data science community platform that hosts machine learning data — to publish a beta dataset of “structured Wikipedia content in English and French.”Wikimedia says the dataset hosted by Kaggle has been “designed with machine learning workflows in mind,” making it easier for AI developers to access machine-readable article data for modeling, fine-tuning, benchmarking, alignment, and analysis. The content within the dataset is openly licensed, and as of April 15th, includes research summaries, short descriptions, image links, infobox data, and article sections — minus references or non-written elements like audio files.The “well-structured JSON representations of Wikipedia content” available to Kaggle users should be a more attractive alternative to “scraping or parsing raw article text” according to Wikimedia — an issue that’s currently putting strain on Wikipedia’s servers as automated AI bots relentlessly consume the platform’s bandwidth. Wikimedia already has content sharing agreements in place with Google and the Internet Archive, but the Kaggle partnership should make that data more accessible for smaller companies and independent data scientists.“As the place the machine learning community comes for tools and tests, Kaggle is extremely excited to be the host for the Wikimedia Foundation’s data,” said Kaggle partnerships lead Brenda Flynn. “Kaggle is excited to play a role in keeping this data accessible, available, and useful.”

There's nothing quite like a good mechanical keyboard. Regardless of whether you're using it for work or for gaming, a good mechanical keyboard switch can really make a difference, even if that difference is just "it feels nice." Now, one of the big players in the mechanical keyboard scene, Cherry, has just released its brand new MX Northern Light keycaps, and you can snap them up right now.

Are you looking for an alternative to Windows File Explorer for better file management using a dual-pane view? I was also looking for a better management solution since File Explorer is still clunky when you have many files to work with. Luckily, I discovered XYplorer, a file manager that helps my workflow. Sure, the Tabs feature added to Windows 11 is pretty cool. However, you must still click between them to view and access files.

I pressed the power button on my PC tower, and almost immediately, there was a loud pop. The lights in the room went out as the breaker tripped, and the smell of burning electronics emanated from my PC. My heart sank immediately as worst-case scenarios started running through my mind. I thought about how irreplaceable my GPU is and my brand-new 9800X3D that I had just spent my hard-earned money on.

The motherboard doesn't contribute directly to your PC's performance, except by providing the necessary slots and ports and decent power delivery. Spending more on high-end motherboards, therefore, is pointless for the majority of gamers. This is what I believed for a long time, and as a result, always bought an affordable motherboard that lacked niceties like quick-release slots, SSD heatsinks, and more.

If you are like me, you probably switch between multiple command-line tools for your work, such as Command Prompt, Windows PowerShell, and WSL for Linux workflows. Individually, these tools are powerful enough and work well once you get used to them. However, when you need to use them simultaneously, jumping between separate windows feels unproductive. That’s where Windows Terminal helps you.

I have two 1TB SSDs on my PC, but I like to keep them as vacant as possible. Call it OCD or something else, but I like to offload any data that I can to my 2TB external hard drive. Earlier, the only files I stored on it were old photos and videos dating back to my school years, effectively making the drive a media archive. Of late, however, I am using the drive to store everything from system images and video editing projects to emulators and my Plex library. Fortunately, I don't need any of these files frequently, so my external hard drive is the perfect way to keep all the data away from my primary storage.

A major advantage of running the latest version of an operating system is that you're updated with the latest security fixes and new features. However, in the case of all the major OS, software companies also keep pushing security fixes even when the update is a few versions behind the current release. Microsoft is no exception, as it supports major versions of Windows for an extended period of time.

I spend hours a day on my laptop, and an eye-catching wallpaper on my desktop helps me stay motivated and inspired. Instead of boring Windows wallpapers, I prefer futuristic or fantasy landscapes that take me to different worlds. I also appreciate the exciting art styles and the uniqueness of abstract images. Windows might have great scenic backgrounds, but it won't let you filter them by country to appreciate different cultures.

Handheld gaming has taken some massive strides in the last decade. We've gone from consoles like the Sony PSP and DS, which had somewhat limited computing power, to devices like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch, which are capable of running some impressive titles natively on-device.

We saw a lot of movement on the Windows on Arm front earlier this year, but it's by no means the only operating system taking advantage of the new hardware architecture. If you're a Linux fan and you've been on the hunt for something that can run on your shiny new ARM64 processor, Ubuntu has just what you're looking for. The operating system's publisher announced the release of Ubuntu 25.04, and with it comes some support for ARM64 devices.
