Once you have set up your Plex library properly, adding content works like clockwork. You can automate when shows and movies are added to your library, but while adding content is easy, it also eats up your storage really quickly. I have already dealt with this once using Unmanic, an open-source tool that can automatically optimize media files and helped me reclaim TBs of storage.

For years, OneDrive was where I stored most of my photos, while my wife typically relied on Google Photos for the same purpose. That was until I discovered the wonderful world of self-hosting, and with it, Immich.

Obsidian's plugin library is the source of its magic, and I've written at length about the numerous options. Whether it's an aesthetic, homepage plugin like Hearth, a writing-focused tool like StoryLine, or even just a tool to automatically set up the plugins I need in a new vault, I spend a lot of time tinkering with the various options that are out there. In that time, I've noticed one glaring issue that only gets worse with each passing day.

Google will soon allow you to customize your Discover feed by describing what you want to see. The new feature, rolling out to the Google app in the "coming days," will use AI to automatically tweak your feed and "remember" your preferences for future visits.You'll find the option within the three-dot menu on your Discover feed. As shown in a video shared by Google, tapping the feature will open a chatbot-style interface, where you'll be able to describe your preferences. The chatbot will confirm your choices and lay out the types of content it will prioritize, but you'll also have the option to add more information if it doesn't get it qu …Read the full story at The Verge.

Riot Games is already winding down work on 2XKO, the free-to-play League of Legends fighting game, less than a year after its initial launch. Riot says "active development" will conclude at the end of 2026 because the company hasn't "seen enough players stick with the game to get to a path toward sustainability." Servers will stay online "beyond 2026," and Riot is unlocking all playable characters and refunding money spent on the game. 2XKO launched in an early access beta on PC in October 2025 and hit PS5 and Xbox Series X / S in January. But shortly after, Riot announced it would be cutting staff working on the game, saying at the time t …Read the full story at The Verge.

For a long time, I assumed keeping several Linux PCs consistent meant keeping the installations themselves consistent. That usually meant cloning drives, restoring full-system images, or repeating the same setup routine, hoping I remembered everything I’d changed last time. Eventually, I realized that wasn’t the part I cared about. I don’t need three identical Linux installations; I need the parts I actually interact with every day to follow me from one machine to the next.

Whenever I get tired of Chrome, the obvious alternatives are usually Microsoft Edge or Firefox. I have tried both, but neither really changed the way I use a browser. Dia did.

The Logitech MK540 bundle is a great option if you're looking for an affordable keyboard-and-mouse setup. It's versatile and works well at home and in the office. The retail price is $60, but we think it's an even better buy on sale, as it is right now. Amazon is discounting the hardware by 30%, knocking it down to just $42. Even better, Amazon is also throwing in a $5 gift card.

It's finally happening — Microsoft is bringing official Xbox 360 emulation to PC, and considering how long I've been waiting for this, I should probably be more excited. Instead, I can't shake the feeling that Microsoft is arriving remarkably late to a party that the PC emulation scene has been throwing for over a decade.

Another day, and yet another Android Auto update has dropped that Google says fixes the disconnection and freezing issues some users have experienced over the past several months with the in-car infotainment system platform.

The Western Digital Elements 5TB portable drive is one of the best bang-for-your-buck storage devices on the market right now. It has an MSRP of $300, but B&H Photo now has it for $120 less, bringing the price down to $180. Just be quick; this is part of a timed sales event.

For a long time, it was assumed amongst PC enthusiasts that integrated graphics, sometimes referred to as iGPUs, were considered mere display outputs meant for web browsing, spreadsheets, and sometimes 720p low-spec media playback. That legacy reputation has changed significantly with modern silicon. With processors like AMD Ryzen's AI300 series or Intel Core's UltraLuna Lake series, integrated graphics have taken an architectural leap.
