Where to Buy:

$54.99 $39.99 at Amazon

For just $5 more than the AirFly SE, the Pro adds a handful of useful extras, one of which is support for both Bluetooth transmitter and receiver modes. That means you can use your wireless headphones with an airplane’s entertainment system during a flight, then stream music from your phone to compatible wired speakers and sound systems once you’ve landed. Unlike the SE, it also supports two pairs of Bluetooth headphones at once, so you can share a movie or podcast with a travel companion. Plus, its 25 hour battery life should be enough to last through even the longest international flights.The AirFly Pro is useful in other ways, too. During your vacation, you can use it to connect your preferred music streaming service to an older rental car stereo, or your ear buds to a Nintendo Switch. Once you’re back home, it can also connect your wireless headphones to compatible gym equipment and other devices with a standard 3.5mm audio jack.

This open-source app does what Google Keep refuses to — and it’s free

Google Keep is great until you need it to do anything more than simple sticky notes. I used the app for years, but I became increasingly frustrated with its organizational features and limited note-editing tools. I also became more hesitant to use the app for any sensitive information, given Google's...

I forced Windows 11 onto ancient hardware, and Linux suddenly became the obvious choice

Windows is the first operating system I tried, and I've been using it for the last 20 years. Most of my colleagues, neighbors, and family members have been using PCs with Windows and subsequently upgraded to new versions. However, the OS hardware requirements increase over time, and Windows 11 is...

Meta is reportedly working on smart glasses that would be recording all the time

Meta might be the next company to make an always-on AI wearable. The company is working on prototype "super sensing" always-aware smart glasses that could continuously record audio and snap photos "every few seconds," according to the Financial Times. The wearer could then ask Meta AI about the captured audio...

Your SSD has a free endurance setting most people never touch, and it matters more than ever

Before we knew it, solid-state drives genuinely became the most important component inside a modern PC. They might not be as expensive as a big, beefy GPU inside the case, but they're certainly headed there. It's the SSD that boots up our systems, runs our apps, and decides how long...

WebShare and TrueSearch turn TrueNAS 26 into storage you actually use instead of manage

The best NAS features usually sound important before they feel important. Better containers, better virtualization, better snapshots, and better protocol support all matter, especially when you’re running more than a few services at home. But the feature that changes the daily experience is often smaller and less dramatic. TrueNAS 26’s...

NotebookLM’s Short Video Overview made last-minute prep feel doable

I skipped plenty of projects because I didn’t have enough time to put them together. I might have time to create a full video overview, but not enough time to watch it from start to finish. That’s why NotebookLM’s minute-long Short Video Overview made sense to use. It takes what...

Your soundbar is hiding its best mode, and it’s off by default

Most soundbars spend their first few minutes trying very hard to impress you. They advertise huge channel counts, virtual height effects (including Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization), wireless subwoofers, room-filling audio, and preset names that sound more technical than they really are. Then you plug one in, start a movie, and...

Windows now works on all Steam hardware, but Valve would prefer you didn’t actually use it

While SteamOS on Steam devices definitely gets the job done, some people just prefer to run Windows on them instead. There's quite a lot of proof to suggest that SteamOS has much better in-game performance than Windows, but hey, it's their device, and they can install Windows on it if...

I set up Windows To Go on a portable SSD, and it’s good enough to serve as my daily driver

Between their highly customizable nature, lack of privacy-intrusive services, and zero forced updates, there are plenty of reasons to love Linux distributions. I also adore the live boot functionality that many distros tend to ship with, as it lets me get accustomed to their quirks and tinker with their built-in...

The RAM shortage just made one type of PC the smartest thing you can own in 2026, and it’s not what you’d expect

For most of the last decade, the value proposition of the DIY build was considered gospel. Pick your own parts, skip the OEM's middle-man tax, and end up with a machine that outperforms anything a prebuilt manufacturer would sell you at the price. The ongoing DRAM crisis, however, seems to...
