Storing data in the cloud is fantastic for convenience. Having access to your files at any point in the day (and from any supported device) is a great way to collaborate, work from multiple locations, store backups, and share data, but it's not without its problems. Not only are you relying on companies to keep your data safe, but you're trusting them not to analyze and/or sell your information. Then there's the issue of availability should your network go down, which is where self-hosting storage apps come into play. Peergos is one such option.

The Z Flip 7 FE’s cover screen looks identical to the Flip 5 and Flip 6’s.The big difference between Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the cheaper Z Flip 7 FE will be their cover screens, going by new renders released by the leaker OnLeaks. Earlier this month he produced designs that show a new, larger cover screen on the flagship Flip 7, but our first look at the more affordable “Fan Edition” instead includes Samsung’s older display design.The Z Flip 7 FE seems to use the same cover screen design as the Z Flip 5 and 6, with a thick bezel and a stepped bottom edge that cuts around the camera lenses. By contrast, our latest look at the Z Flip 7 shows an edge-to-edge display that wraps around the cameras, similar to the screens on Motorola’s Razr Plus models. According to OnLeaks — who created the renders in conjunction with SammyGuru based on leaked details — the display will be the same 3.4-inch size as on the Z Flip 6. At 165.1 x 71.7 x 7.4mm when unfolded, the phone as a whole will be about the same size as last year’s too, but slightly thicker.An FE version of Samsung’s flip phone has been rumored for years, in part to compete with Motorola’s more affordable regular Razr, but 2025 looks to be the year it will finally emerge. Samsung usually announces its new foldable phones at a Galaxy Unpacked event in July, so we’ll likely learn more then.

You know, I have the sneaking suspicion that game drivers are meant to improve performance, not make it worse. However, you wouldn’t be able to tell given how Nvidia’s drivers have been performing lately. It’s getting to the point where even game developers, who usually spend their time wrestling their userbase into downloading the latest drivers, are now asking people to do the reverse.

With its solid performance, zero-clutter design, and suite of useful plugins, Jellyfin is easily one of the best utilities to organize and stream your media collection to any device in your household. It’s also fairly easy to deploy, and you’ve got the option to host it inside Docker, Podman, or LXC containers.

A mini PC is a fantastic way to save desk space without sacrificing performance for daily tasks and workflow. Gaming is a whole different beast altogether, but modern CPUs used inside these compact systems have come a long way in providing a decent experience in conservative settings. But most mini PCs are prebuilt, so can you build your own system to rival NUCs and other devices? It's possible, so long as you keep expectations in check and don't mind spending a small fortune.

If you take a moment to think about all the specs of each component that goes into a PC build, you'll quickly get overwhelmed. This is exactly what the average PC gamer goes through when building a new rig. Fretting about every single data point about multiple motherboards, SSDs, and GPUs can take forever, and decision paralysis might kill the build before it even starts.

We're big fans of mini PCs here at XDA, so when we heard that one was on discount for Amazon's Big Spring Sale, we knew we had to cover it. The Kamrui GK3Plus Mini PC is a great entry, either as your first model or if you're already a huge fan of the form factor.

Your home network could always use a little improvement, and single-board computers (SBCs) are a fantastic way to do so. You get to learn valuable skills and keep your network smarter and safer, and who doesn't love tinkering with an SBC in their downtime? You don't have to go with a Raspberry Pi for this, but it's often easier to find tutorials and ready-built images if you do.

The coding sector is rife with useful tools designed to make your programming tasks as efficient and painless as possible. Jupyter Notebook is one such utility, which combines a note-taking and data visualization app with a live code editor. As someone who often works with Python scripts, Jupyter Notebook is my favorite tool for making notes during lectures and sharing my painstakingly-written code with my programming friends and rivals.

Do you remember Polaroid cameras? No, seriously, if you do remember, let me know. I seem to remember that they were cool in practice, but after you took a photo, you had to shake the film like crazy to get it to develop, and I think it was really expensive to buy more rolls. Anyway, the point is that this Raspberry Pi project brings back memories of using Polaroid cameras. And while it doesn't use the exact same methods that a Polaroid used to print its photos, it's still an amazing DIY project.

Very few franchises in gaming have had as complicated a journey as Assassin’s Creed. From its thriving golden era to its divisive pivot into RPG territory, the series has been a battleground for fans, with Assassin’s Creed Shadows now caught in the crossfire.

As someone constantly juggling multiple projects, endless documents and files, and navigating a sea of information, I have discovered a powerful ally in NotebookLM. Formerly known as Project Tailwind, this AI-powered tool has fundamentally transformed how I manage knowledge, extract information, and, ultimately, get things done. Over time, I have compiled a collection of tips and tricks that have significantly supercharged my workflow, and I'm excited to share these insights with you.
