This forgotten PC building hack can help offset the cost of RAM for your build

Amidst the ever-surging price of RAM, it's easy to overlook the relatively smaller (but still impactful) price increases for other components. Notably, the price of older midrange CPUs, like the Ryzen 5 5600X, has gone up, as demand for DDR4-compatible CPUs increases. Where you could once get this chip in...

I widened my Wi-Fi channels for speed and watched the whole network collapse instead

Wi-Fi routers are a set-and-forget kind of networking hardware. At least it has been in mine. I have been using a TP-Link Archer C6 for ages. After configuring it, I only opened the admin dashboard a few times just to change the Wi-Fi password.

35 years ago today, Linus Torvalds made a Usenet post that introduced Linux to the world

Sometimes, if we're really lucky, we get to see the exact moment a huge part of our lives first got its legs. The good news is, if something started on the internet, there's a very good chance we have it logged somewhere. Such is the case with the Usenet post...

The TCL Note A1 is a kinder, gentler tablet

Website design is my passion. Without thinking, I scribbled over what I'd just written. It's what I would have done if I was writing with pen and paper. But I didn't have a pen in my hand; my canvas was an LCD and the letters on my page were just...

I built a fully local agentic AI setup with one open-source app, and it never touches the cloud

Handing an app permission to browse, write files, and execute on your behalf is powerful, but there's a whole category of work that I think you shouldn't give to a cloud-based agent. Basically, I feel like if you wouldn't send it in a DM or post it on social media,...

I stopped force-shutting down my PC after Windows 11’s August update fixed this one thing

I confess I don’t turn off my main PC that often, but the times I have over the last year have felt like a struggle. It’s set to shut down when I press the power button because I don’t use hibernate or sleep on my desktop. But I’ve pressed the...

I turned two mini PCs into a local AI that reads my whole codebase, and now it reviews my code for me

I've been spending some time with two DGX Sparks recently, with DeepSeek V4 Flash, a 284-billion-parameter model, being my go-to model of choice running across both of them. They're connected over a ConnectX-7 cable with 128 GB of unified memory each, and can push anywhere from 30 to 50 tokens...

Greenworks’ MaximusZ electric riding mower has five motors and a few compromises

The current EV market is flush with variety. I've driven single-motor economy-minded machines, dual-motor EVs with all-wheel drive, tri-motor vehicles that dial up the performance stakes, and even wild quad-motor performance cars, like the Rimac Nevera. But this is the first time I've ever driven a five-motor EV, one with...
