Buying a luxury SUV usually means paying for more than a nicer cabin and a prestigious badge. For many shoppers, the bigger question is whether that premium experience is worth the added complexity and potentially higher repair bills.

I have a degree in Computer Animation, but there was so much research attached to it that I really felt like I was drowning. I spent more time than I'd like to admit dealing with highlighters and index cards, trying to absorb material that felt like it was written to confuse instead of explain. The problem was never motivation or effort. It was that building study materials, getting through dense papers, and keeping organized notes ate up the time I actually needed for learning.

Google Pixel phones come loaded with genuinely useful features, but not all of them are enabled out of the box. In fact, it's a bit backwards sometimes—some of the most useful features are disabled by default, while features I don't care for are turned on from day one. That's why going through the settings and tweaking them to your liking is worth the few minutes it takes. Here are the five features I always change on every Pixel phone I set up.

SSDs are fantastic, but they're not immortal. They can fail even at 100% health. How can you tell whether your SSD is just having a bad day or it belongs in a e-waste recycling center?

Many smart home devices offer subscription plans that can add additional features. Some of these subscription plans are worth the price for what you get, but there are plenty of smart home devices that can actually do more without a subscription.

Every time you uninstall a program on Windows, you're probably leaving more behind than you realize. It's not dramatic, but it adds up. Luckily, there are plenty of third-party apps that will find what a regular uninstaller misses and get rid of it by themselves.

In late November 2024, an iSeeCars analysis put Tesla at the top of the country's fatal accident rankings. Tesla's rate was 5.6 deaths per billion miles driven, nearly double the industry average. iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer noted that most of the vehicles topping the list have excellent crash-test ratings, attributing the elevated numbers to a mix of driver behavior and conditions rather than a flaw in the vehicles themselves. Although Tesla topped the iSeeCars list, the brand accounted for less than 0.5% of all vehicles involved in fatal crashes in 2024.

I hate cables with a passion, like any other reasonable human being. Power banks do a great job of consolidating cables, but they can be just as unsightly and difficult to deal with as the rest of your cords.

Planning a trip and making sure you hit every destination or restaurant can be stressful, which is why a lot of people use travel planners or itinerary apps. But did you know you can build a trip itinerary on Google Maps? Not only that, but all the most memorable stops on my last vacation came from two Google Maps habits.

I had spent months refining my Linux desktop environment. Every config file had a place, my command line tools were selected for the way I worked, and my desktop shortcuts, panel layout, themes, and custom scripts were configured exactly the way I wanted.

I love portable power stations so much that my wife and I have backed up our home with Anker SOLIX batteries instead of an automatic gas generator or a built-in home battery. Here's what I've learned after having just experienced three power outages in the span of two weeks.

A new tablet can be great for typical uses such as browsing the internet or watching shows and movies. If you're thinking about buying a new tablet for another purpose, then it's worth considering whether an old eReader could do a better job.

Waze is good at what it does, but what it does comes with the cost of privacy. Companies love to claim you need to lose privacy to get certain features. That's not true. There are plenty of features that you can keep without needing Waze or its way of sending information to servers. You can pick open-source alternatives to Waze and Google Maps and have the same features.

Fire TV is built around streaming services, but my favorite app does something more. NOVA Video Player lets me build a polished, Netflix-style library from my own local files, without needing to run a Plex or Jellyfin server. It makes a Fire TV device so much more powerful.

You can protect your home server against many different kinds of failures if you're smart about it. But how can you protect yourself against losing your internet connection when the ISP is at fault?

Finding the perfect app in the Play Store can sometimes feel impossible. You’re trying to fit your specific needs with solutions that were made for other people’s needs. Now, with AI-powered coding in Android Studio, it’s remarkably easy to simply make your own app. Let me show you.

When Windows XP arrived in the early 2000s, desktop wallpaper became a PC status symbol. Two decades later, however, I've gone the opposite way: my Windows desktop is a flat shade of gray. It might look boring, but I've got good reason to keep it that way.

3D printer filament is hygroscopic, which means it’ll suck moisture out of the air. So-called “wet” filament can cause all manner of problems with your prints, including stringing, adhesion problems, and total failures.

I got tired of movie recommendation engines that I used never working right. They never actually captured why I liked a movie, or how to best recommend a new movie to me. So, that's when I decided to build my own with AI and my Plex watch history, and I wish I had done this sooner.
