If you haven't already guessed from the dollar amount and the distro's logo, I'm talking about Omarchy. It’s the new Linux distro developed by DHH — the guy behind Ruby on Rails. Now, version one actually dropped back in June 2025, but it really took off with its fourth major release, Omarchy Quattro, released August 2026.

There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of 3D models out there to choose from. I decided to 3D print some of the top models on Thingiverse, one of the gold-standard model websites, to see what I thought of them. Here's how I rank the top models from Thingiverse.

Congratulations, you made it to the weekend! The Canadian rock band Loverboy knew what they were talking about when they sang, "Everybody's working for the weekend." So many people use the weekends for some rest and relaxation after a long work week. If you're spending some time on the couch, stream a show that you can finish before Monday rolls around.

You may have read the term "force-canceling subwoofers" in the specification sheets of some sort of device like a laptop or Bluetooth speaker, but what does that mean? Is this just another cool-sounding marketing term, or is this subwoofer design worth paying for?

What if you could replace your huge desktop PC with a mini PC that's a fraction of the size and costs a fraction of the price?

Cantonese is spoken by more than 80 million people on Earth, and also evidently by one nonexistent actress who lives inside the computer.

The southeastern Chinese dialect made a surprise appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, a talk show hosted by British TV personality Piers Morgan. Morgan was "interviewing" Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actress who has become more or less synonymous with AI-generated performers over the past year or so.

During the interview, after being asked a question by very-much-real actor Tom Conti, Norwood glitched out mid-sentence and switched from English to Cantonese.

After the brief bit of Cantonese (which I cannot personally translate for you), Morgan asked the AI what went wrong, and the AI offered a response in the correct language.

"It seems I had a little hiccup there … sometimes my wires get a bit crossed," the AI program said. "That was a bit of a curveball even for me. It’s usually a pretty smooth ride, but sometimes these things happen."

Norwood was created by a production group called Particle6. The co-founder of Particle6, Eline van der Velden, gave something of an explanation to Deadline.

"Tilly can be a bit of a show-off — I’m guessing she just wanted to show her language skills as most of her interviews to date have been in English," van der Velden said. "She is autonomous after all."

Perhaps they should reconsider the autonomous part.

Netflix has had no shortage of big shows this year, but a few have clearly pulled ahead of the rest. From returning favorites to new mysteries that quickly found an audience, some titles have managed to turn strong debuts into millions of views within just a few months.

In a world of on-demand content, I have been longing for some nostalgia, so I decided to turn my Plex server into a TV station. Accessible on my local network, and even remotely, I can now "tune in" to a custom-curated TV station, commercials and all. Here's how I did it.

Many of us choose to believe that the things we put in our house will outlast us, and the same is true of smart home devices. The truth is that some of these devices have much shorter lifespans than we’re comfortable admitting.

Smart doorbells have evolved into high-tech security tools, but Wi-Fi and battery-powered models often bring headaches like weak signals and constant charging. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) doorbells offer a more reliable, secure, and hassle-free alternative—perfect for anyone seeking a smarter upgrade.

Android 17 has been available for a couple of months, and it’s been rolled out to many of the most recent devices. This is sneakily one of the best updates Google has rolled out in recent years. Make sure you’re taking advantage of all the new features.

Most people have a drawer somewhere in their house filled with cables, adapters, and small gadgets they haven't touched in months. Don't let the spring cleaning mood take you from your PC and convince you to throw it all out during a cleanup. There are very few things that are actually too outdated to keep. Some of that gear isn't obsolete; it's just waiting for the moment you actually need it.

It's easy to think that big, unilateral, seemingly bone-headed (Apple would say "brave") decisions are only made by big closed-source OS vendors like Microsoft and Apple. If only!

Look, I'll be the first to blame my ISP whenever possible. (In my defense, I have ISP-inflicted trust issues, so I have a bit of an excuse there). But sometimes, the ISP should be allowed to say: "It's not me, it's you."

I'm one of those people who really cares about how datasets are laid out in Excel. That's partly because I'm a bit obsessive, but it's mainly because getting the structure right makes my life much easier down the line. I've lost count of how many times I've had to reshape an imported or received dataset, but Excel for Microsoft 365 gives me a surprisingly easy way to do it.

Most new cars these days have a built-in screen that works with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This allows you to tuck your phone away somewhere safe, connected to this external screen. Either using a wireless method, or a plain old cable.

It is common to buy a Raspberry Pi, use it for a week, and then stick it in a drawer, only to forget about it. And while the Pi 5 is the latest and greatest in the series, that doesn't mean that older models are useless—far from it. They can be quite useful if you stick to the right tasks.

"When are you going to put a baby in there?!" This was the question an acquaintance asked me as she grabbed my belly with both of her hands and and shook it, while a gaggle of mothers and grandmothers smiled on approvingly. 

That was just the first time this happened. While aggressive pressure to become a parent didn't always involve a near-stranger rattling my vacant uterus, it was always uncomfortable. 

Thankfully, Babies has come for those of us who have endured the bizarre barrage of personal questions that come from the heteronormative assumption that all married couples must procreate. Written and directed by Lauren Miller Rogen, and co-starring her husband Seth Rogen opposite Anna Kendrick, this hilarious comedy explores what it means to be the only child-free couple left, when all your friends have gone the breeder route. 

Babies has a can't-miss meta context. 

In 2021, Miller Rogen co-wrote the sidesplitting buddy comedy For A Good Time, Call… in which she starred with Ari Graynor as two twenty-somethings running a phone sex line to make a living in New York City. First off, if you missed that movie, seek it out. It's one of the funniest buddy comedies ever made, and criminally underseen. Secondly, Miller Rogen takes the wit and irreverence shown in that funny film, and channels it into an exploration of what it means to consider the kids question. 

Kendrick stars as the writer/director's alter ego, Annie, while Seth Rogen plays the happy-go-lucky husband, Aaron. Fans of the Rogens will recognize some similarities, as Babies' central couple is child-free, loves making pottery, and smoking weed. Plus, Annie, like Miller Rogen, has a mother who's suffering from debilitating dementia. 

Knowing any or all of this will enrich Babies, as it gives Annie and Aaron's inner-monologue narrations an inherently more personal feel. But don't be mistaken. Babies isn't taking the Knocked Up route, splitting the focus between Rogen's chuckling dude and his anxious partner. Most of the movie is firmly on Annie, revealing how she's trying to build her own art gallery, while juggling the needs of her friends, who are both moms with a lot going on. 

Blissful Becky (Issa Rae) seems initially like a poster girl for moms, radiant while pregnant, adored by her husband (Zach Cherry), and patiently balancing the demands of her daughters with the rigors of her work. Meanwhile, high-strung Eliza (Kate Berlant) is a real estate agent with a quirky kiddo that she shares with a mirthful manchild (Dan Stevens) that she's steadily growing to hate. With these two figures, Miller Rogen deftly sets up the dream of motherhood — and a nightmare of it. What if she can't live up to the example of the former? What if becoming the latter would destroy her relationship with her partner? 

Annie and Aaron's ambivalence about parenthood is tested when they're trusted to babysit a friend's kid for months. It becomes like a sampling of parenthood, which they respond to with a mix of amusement, irritation, and horror. But whether they're learning the quirks of potty training or the pleasures of playtime, Babies keeps things fun. 

Babies gets smartly serious. 

Through a running inner monologue, Annie expresses to the audience the less-than-socially acceptable fears and frustrations about motherhood. Miller Rogen's terrific script brings bite and humanity to her humorous heroine, making for side-splitting observations. However, as Annie visits with her folks, Babies steps into another challenging part of growing up, caring for elderly parents. 

Annie's mother is no longer ambulatory, can't speak or eat on her own. She's cared for by her husband (David Straitharn) and a health aide. This subplot swiftly dispels the notion that the child-free have no substantial personal responsibilities. Plus, these scenes, tender, tense, and occasionally heart-breaking, suggest how what was right for our parents might not be right for us, and vice versa. Heart-to-heart conversations with her dad push Annie to consider not only what she wants for her life, but what he needs for his. And in this collision, both grow closer, even in the face of grief.  

This thoughtful dose of drama amid poop jokes and comically high-energy crashouts gives Babies an added dimension that reflects how even the silliest moments can have deep meaning, while defining, dramatic moments can also be absurd. This awareness makes Babies feel like a breath of fresh air, as the Rogens and their ensemble of rightly celebrated actors refuse to make a punchline out of the desires of the child-free. 

This all leads to a climax that's silly and satisfying. What Aaron and Annie choose won't be determined by pressure of friends or family, or the fears of what might come. And in that, this comedy is not just terrifically entertaining and heartwarming, but also a welcomed representation of living child-free without regrets.

Not only does it cost $2 less monthly, but it also gives you free access to either Paramount+ or Peacock, among other perks. As if that wasn't enough of a reason to join this year, Burger King just doubled down on its partnership with Walmart to sweeten the deal.

Through Sept. 25, Burger King Royal Perks members can score a 12-month Walmart+ subscription for only $7.77 per month, down from the usual $12.95. That's 40% off for an entire year. For those keeping score, that's about half the cost of Amazon Prime. The only bummer is that the deal is only valid for new Walmart+ members.

The good news, however, is that it's free to join Burger King's Royal Perks rewards program. Just sign up on the Burger King website or app by entering a valid email address. That's pretty much it.

If you're looking for ways to save on streaming this year, this could be one of the strangest, albeit most genius workarounds to score Peacock for less.

Beyond streaming, you'll also get free next-day and two-day shipping, free same-day delivery with orders over $35, gas savings, early access to major sales, in-store perks, and more.
