Is your tablet PC starting to show its age? Whether you're stuck on Windows 10 or suffering under the bloat of Windows 11, a Linux installation is the best way to give an old tablet PC a new lease on life. So, let's explore some of the best Linux distros for tablet PCs.

You don't have to give up the convenience of Microsoft 365 if you ditch your subscription. There is a free, self-hosted alternative that can run on a Raspberry Pi instead.

For years, I was married to the idea of filling my PC with flashy RGB. I used light strips, ran a glowing graphics card, and later switched to a case with ARGB fans.

Bored this weekend with a Linux computer on hand? There's never a better time to test out a new piece of open source software. I have a few apps I found this week that I think are worth trying, including an image comparison tool, a note organizer, and a power profiler.

When is Stuff Your Kindle Day?

Dark Romance Day takes place on Feb. 13-15. A lot of recent Stuff Your Kindle Days have only lasted 24 hours, so this three-day event is a welcome change of pace. There's a lot on offer in this giveaway, so it's nice to know that you have plenty of time to peruse your options.

Which ebooks are free?

Dark Romance Day is focused on (surprise) dark romance titles. The Dark Romance Team has put together an expansive document covering everything you need to know. They've listed the authors, book titles, genres, tropes, and availability. Social links are also included for a lot of the authors so you can explore everything they have to offer.

Anyone can participate in Stuff Your Kindle Day. Kindle and Kobo readers can download these dark romance books for free.

Is Stuff Your Kindle Day the same as Amazon Kindle Unlimited?

Everything you download on Stuff Your Kindle Day is yours to keep, and there's no limit on the number of books you can download. Stuff Your Kindle Day downloads don't count towards the 20 books that Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscribers can borrow at the same time.

Picking a video doorbell that doesn’t rely on the cloud means you can save footage locally and not rely on pricey subscriptions. Pair it with a smart home platform like Home Assistant, and your doorbell will keep working when the internet doesn’t.

Got any weekend plans? When you're done with the chores, why not stake a claim on the couch and settle in for a show or two? If you're a Paramount+ subscriber, I've mined three tried and true series that deliver laughs, grit, and some interstellar action.

TL;DR: Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box preorders are already down to $189.99 at Amazon — about $20 off the list price and below market value.

If you’re planning to jump into MTG’s upcoming Marvel crossover, you may not need to wait for launch-day deals. That’s because, as of Feb. 13, Amazon has trimmed the preorder price of the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box to $189.99 — almost $20 under its $209.70 list price. 

That makes it one of the earliest discounts we’ve seen on the highly-anticipated set and the lowest price we’ve seen for this box so far — as confirmed via price tracker camelcamelcamel.

The Marvel-themed expansion pulls iconic heroes and villains into the Magic universe, letting players build comic-inspired decks while still leaning into the strategy-heavy style of gameplay the trading card game is known for. Play Boosters are designed to be the go-to format for drafting, casual Limited matches, and collectors who enjoy opening packs just as much as playing with them.

Each booster box comes with 30 Play Boosters, and every pack includes 14 cards featuring a mix of commons, uncommons, and at least one rare or higher. You’ll also find a Traditional Foil card in every pack, with a slim chance at premium borderless mythic rares for those chasing standout pulls.

The set doesn’t release until June 26, but locking in the discount now could save you from the inevitable price bumps that often follow major crossover launches. 

For more MTG deals, you can also get the Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Bundle for over $10 off at Amazon. The Magic: The Gathering Bloomburrow Play Booster Box is also $60 off right now.

SAVE OVER $30: As of Feb. 13, Apple AirPods 4 (with ANC) are on sale for $139.99 at Amazon. This is $39.01 off their list price of $179.

Even though these earbuds don't feature ear-sealing silicone tips like their Pro siblings, the noise-cancellation on the AirPods 4 still shines through. To continue on from our AirPods 4 review, Mashable's Kimberly Gedeon, who used them while traveling, noted that "While I was at the airport, sounds of coo-ing babies, loud conversations, and rolling luggage were significantly reduced." All in all, she found that, "The active noise cancellation is elite, allowing me to immerse myself into the honeyed soundwaves that emanate from the AirPods 4."

On top of that, these earbuds boast great sound quality alongside a battery life that can last up to 20 hours while using the case. If you're not using ANC, this can even be stretched up to 30 hours.

Don't miss out on this great deal on the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation at Amazon. And if you're looking for more great Apple deals right now, check out our roundup of the best Presidents' Day Apple deals.

Many Februarys ago, I went for lunch with a friend and was served a devastating blow.

As I ordered a club sandwich, I caught her eyeing me nervously. "So, I have some news," she said in a hesitant tone. There was an agonising suspenseful pause.

"Oh god," I said. My heart was beating so fast I thought it might leap right out of my chest cavity. She put her head in her hands as she geared up to break the news to me. Just tell me, for the love of god, I thought to myself.

"It's about Glen," she said.

"OK," I said, panicking. This was the man I had been seeing on and off for the past nine months. A friend-with-benefits that I'd accidentally caught feelings for. Not that I would've admitted that at the time.

"He has a girlfriend?" I guessed in a bid to put myself out of my own misery.

"That's not all, though," my friend said.

There was more. "They're having a baby," she said. Suddenly the restaurant felt unbearably noisy. A wave of heat passed over my body and a weird rash appeared across my chest, my sandwich arrived. I stared at it and tried my best not to puke.

It was three days before Valentine's Day and I wanted nothing more than for time to stand still. "Valentine's Day can absolutely get f*cked," I said the next day to my friend Michelle as I ran on the treadmill and cried simultaneously. A feat of human nature, you might say.

I wanted to round up every silk rose, every cheesy card, every tacky giant teddy bear and throw them on a giant bonfire. Everywhere I turned felt like a constant onslaught of love, romance, and relationships. Each one of them a reminder of the sting of rejection I was feeling. I wanted to pretend that Valentine's Day didn't exist, but I didn't know how.

There's a scene in Bridget Jones' Diary where she finds out that Daniel Cleaver has a secret fiancée the whole time they've been together, and she has to go to work and act like nothing's happened. She stares blankly at her computer screen, tears welling in her eyes. At my job in a theatre press office, I spent a week stealthily wiping away tears as they streamed from my eyes.

On Valentine's Day, a work friend left a card on my desk. It was a kind gesture that made me feel loved. But later, on Instagram, I saw the Valentine's Day card that Glen had given to his girlfriend. There was an illustration of a green olive alongside the line "Olive You." Ugh, they're at the pun stage of their romance. It was the longest Feb. 14 I have ever lived through.

"Being in a relationship is not a mark of success. Many people in relationships are unhappy. Be proud of being single."

Over the next few years, that cursed day came and went. On some years, I was nursing a broken heart from yet another terrible dating experience. Dear friends continued with their sweet gestures (my best friend left a red rose on my desk one year). Truth is, Valentine's Day is just another day if you're not in a state of loved-up bliss. So, why not treat it as exactly what is is: just another day in February.

I refuse to spend another Valentine's Day crying over a terrible olive pun. If you're nursing the fragments of a broken heart and are listening to The 1975's "Somebody Else" on repeat, then don't fret about Feb. 14's impending arrival. Here are some tried and tested techniques for putting two fingers up to V Day.

Celebrate other types of love

Psychologist Dr. Tony Ortega suggests reframing the day "from being a day of romantic love to a day of celebrating any kind of love, like we did when we were children."

SEE ALSO: Why I'm celebrating female friendship this Valentine's Day

"If you want to celebrate love but don't have romantic love, grab your friends and do something out of the ordinary to celebrate your friendships," say Ortega. "This could take the form of a scavenger hunt or perhaps an establishment that serves both liquor but has some entertainment like games or even a drag show." If you don't fancy going out, you could FaceTime a friend who lives far away and have a long-overdue catch up.

"Being in a relationship is not a mark of success. Many people in relationships are unhappy. Be proud of being single."

Look upon your heartbreak as a gift

It's really hard when you're in the thick of the post-breakup emotional turmoil, but try to take a step back and see the bigger picture. Whether the relationship was short-term, long-term, a situationship, FWB — there's a reason why it ended. Reframe romantic rejection as a positive thing that steers you back onto the right path, and prevents you going too far down the wrong road. It's a blessing to have your route corrected. It's better to be alone than in a bad relationship with a person who's not matching your energy or feeling the same way. Your future self will look back and be grateful.

SEE ALSO: How to separate romantic rejection from your self-worth Banish all negative thoughts

Psychosexual and relationship therapist Silva Neves recommends banning the negative thoughts you have about yourself. "Being in a relationship is not a mark of success. Many people in relationships are unhappy. Be proud of being single," says Neves.

SEE ALSO: The best dating apps for hooking up, serious relationships, and everything else in between

"Each time you have a negative thought about yourself, breathe in and out deeply and say something nurturing about yourself instead. You will find out that you have many good qualities." Make a list of everything you like about yourself, if you feel like it.

Do something nice for yourself

The longest relationship of your life is with yourself. So, why not spoil yourself? Buy yourself the dress you've been eyeing up for weeks. Make a delicious meal for yourself. Go get a manicure. Treat yourself to a new sex toy.

Ignore the hype

Valentine's Day literally is just any other day. So why not treat it as such? As it happens to fall on a Friday this year, stick to your usual Friday routine — be that grabbing a drink in the pub with your mates, or binge-watching Grace and Frankie on your sofa with a takeaway. Avoid anything that'll remind you what date it is — stay off social media and turn any calendars around so they're facing the wall.

Rachael Lloyd, relationship experts at eharmony, says "it may sound obvious, but the more you engage in Valentine’s Day, the more you will be impacted." "Skip over the love stories, avoid your local Pizza Express and keep off social media for the day to limit your exposure."

Get really into puzzles

If it's nigh-on impossible to ignore the fact that it's the most cursed day in the calendar, then ramp up your distraction techniques. My best friend Elisha swears by jigsaw puzzles because, she says, "they require enough of your concentration to prevent you from getting in your head too much, but not so much that you can't complete the task." Buy yourself a big bag of Doritos, a bottle of rosé, and a 1,000-piece puzzle and it'll keep you entertained and, crucially, distracted for hours on end. Alternatively, you could invite all your single friends over to your house for a games night.

Have some 'me time'

Dating and relationship coach Sami Wunder says if you're single, Valentine's Day is the perfect day for celebrating yourself. "Firstly, don’t let all the hype get to you. Decide that it will be a day for self-love," says Wunder. "So schedule in some me time. Book yourself a massage, or a manicure, or treat yourself to a nice coffee, or even put on your favourite dress and take yourself out for dinner."

Neves says if Valentine's Day is unpleasant for you, "give yourself the permission to be indulgent with whatever floats your boat." "A long bath maybe? Or have your favourite chocolates. Or put your favourite movies on and a glass of wine?" says Neves.

If you've got the day off, one thing that's guaranteed to keep you very busy is running errands. Go to the gym, clean out your fridge, buy your groceries, do your laundry, iron those clothes at the bottom of your ironing pile. In short, stay busy. At the end of the day, you'll have a big sense of accomplishment.

Have sex

People in long-term relationships aren't the only people who get to have sex on Valentine's Day. Dr. Ortega suggests calling up your fuck buddy and scheduling a hookup.

"Do you have a friend with benefits you can call on? Instead of celebrating romantic love, celebrate your sexual nature with your FWB," says Ortega. "Throw away the notion of romantic love and for a period of time, celebrate sexual love."

If you don't have a FWB, then Neves recommends having an orgasm anyway through solo sex (aka masturbation). "And make a commitment to have those on a regular basis, not just on Valentine’s Day," says Neves.

Leave the country

Not forever. Just take a break and get some space from everything. If you can afford to, treat yourself to a weekend away somewhere nice, or take a road trip to visit a friend you haven't seen for ages. About a fortnight after this whole debacle occurred, I decided to book an EasyJet flight to Germany to visit a really lovely friend of mine. It did me a world of good to get away from everything and gain some perspective on the situation. This year, I'm heading back to Germany to see the very same friend, and we'll be celebrating female friendship rather than romantic love.

Whatever you do on Feb. 14, remember that lots of people in long-term relationships couldn't give a shit about it. It's just a stupid day.

Jimmy Kimmel has already broken down Pam Bondi's chaotic Epstein files hearing, but on Thursday he spoke about another disturbing development.

"For those who were wondering when the abuse of power will end, the answer is never, probably," says Kimmel in the clip above, bringing up a shot of a piece of paper in Bondi's folder with the title "Jayapal Pramilia Search History".

"That refers to congresswoman Pramilia Jayapal, a Democrat with whom Bondi exchanged in one of the most contentious exchanges of the day," Kimmel explains. "The photo appears to show everything Jayapal searched for in the Trump-Epstein files (which again, we've trademarked). They tracked her search history in the private room at the DOJ where congresspeople are, you know, legally permitted to look at the less redacted files. And it would seem that they tracked those congresspeople without their knowledge — they looked at their search history to give Bondi an edge in the hearings. And then they're so dumb they printed it out and put a title at the top. 'Jayapal Pramilia Search History'. It's such a delicate balance between stupid and evil."

Kimmel's conclusion?

"Pam Bondi has spent more time investigating the people who are reading the Epstein files than the people who are in the Trump-Epstein files."
