I replaced my desktop with a Snapdragon X2 Plus laptop, and the only thing I missed was the GPU

It's a conflicting time to be a tech enthusiast, or even just to need a new laptop for work. Stratospheric pricing has made it tricky to recommend anything with onboard memory or SSD storage, and terms like "budget" and "good value" all carry caveats about how they relate to the...

These PC building “best practices” are costing you money and doing nothing for your rig

On the surface, PC building is about choosing 8–9 components that fit within your budget and provide the performance you have in mind. The intricacies of cores, VRAM, frequencies, timings, DRAM, and cooling are where things start to get complicated. Many enthusiasts and veteran PC builders recommend adhering to several...

I stopped treating Claude like a chatbot, and it became my best co-worker

Most people think getting better AI results is all about writing smarter prompts. I used to think the same thing. But after spending months working with Claude, I realized the biggest difference was not the prompts; it was the relationship. The moment I stopped treating Claude like a chatbot and...

Linux on the desktop isn’t winning, but Linux on my handheld already has

The Linux desktop debate has been ongoing for a couple of decades now. The narrative changes every few months with the release of a new kernel, architectural improvements or integrations, but the conclusion remains quite the same: "It's promising, but not quite there." Sometimes it's due to too many compatibility...

Record Club is trying to be Letterboxd for music nerds

Look at those cute little guys. | Image: Record Club There isn't really a solid equivalent to Goodreads or Letterboxd for music lovers, but Record Club is aiming to change that. Yes, we have Rate Your Music, but its interface is crowded, and it feels more geared towards longer-form reviews...

I ditched cloud smart home devices for local control, and my house finally works

Smart homes can quickly transcend into a typical morning feeling frustrating. Let's say you say a voice command, and then your smart assistant responds with "Sorry, I'm having trouble connecting to the internet right now." Or your connection does work, and your smart switch still takes five full seconds to...

I ditched LM Studio for llama.cpp, and my local LLM doesn’t feel like a downgrade anymore

LM Studio has been my default runner for as long as I've been running local LLMs, which is more than long enough now to call it part of my daily flow rather than just something I'm experimenting with anymore. The appeal of LM Studio is pretty much that it has...

Rockstar is in no hurry to release GTA 6 on PC, and leaked numbers explain exactly why

PC gamers waited for Grand Theft Auto V for over a year after its console launch, and they'll also be waiting for Grand Theft Auto VI for an unspecified amount of time. Even console gamers have done their fair share of waiting for this behemoth of a game to finally...

Most gamers aren’t actually using DLSS 4.5’s new transformer model — here’s why and how to fix it

Ever since DLSS 4.5 became available earlier this year, I've been spending more time experimenting with this feature on my RTX 4090 than I have in years. While that's partly because upscaled footage is almost indistinguishable from the native, it's also because Nvidia has somehow managed to make DLSS more...

Local LLMs perform so much better when you teach them to ask before they answer

Prompting an LLM requires a different approach than typing a search query into Google, yet it's common for people to treat them the same. The process often goes something like this: type a sentence, get a response, then ask refining questions or supply follow-up context to guide AI toward the...

Picking a Linux distro is the wrong first question — here’s what you should ask instead
