Go back in time 500 years and show them your smartphone, and you'd probably be burned at the stake for being a witch. Even 100 years ago, the things your phone can do would have blown people's minds.

I'm getting tired of seeing mini PCs compared to actual desktops. People line up the specs next to traditional towers, compare benchmarks, and declare the tiny box a full replacement for the much bigger one. And suddenly, a palm-sized computer with a soldered mobile chip is being held to the same standard as a machine with a socketed CPU, a discrete GPU, and a massive power supply.

In an era where affordable luxury often feels unlikely, if not impossible, Acura is planting a flag. For 2026, the Acura ADX returns as the brand's entry-level SUV, and the biggest news isn't under the hood, but rather on the window sticker. Acura has not increased the MSRP in an effort to draw attention away from some of its biggest rivals, like the BMW X1, Lexus UX, and Volvo XC40.

I got tired of my smart home going offline every time I needed to perform maintenance on a server in my homelab, so I decided to fix it by building a high availability cluster. It might not have been all that simple, but the effort was worth it to have a smart home that never goes down.

At a time when even previously midrange GPUs are awfully overpriced, many people have to settle for the dreaded 8GB VRAM. I'm sure you've heard the buzz about how bad it is in 2026, and those claims are not untrue. In an ideal world, you definitely want to have more than 8 gigabytes of video memory in your graphics card.

The Honda Prelude has long been celebrated as one of Honda’s most engaging and stylish coupes.

Prime Video's deeply odd and delightfully weird library of documentaries and docuseries is the gift that keeps on giving, allowing you to bounce around from true-crime to cryptids to sweeping sports docs to super-specific subcultures.

Documentaries, to me, stand out so much as a genre because, yeah, they're wildly informative and entertaining, but more importantly they zero in on real pockets of humanity that are stranger and more compelling than any fiction.

Smartphone displays have hovered around the 1080p (Full HD) mark for years. There was a stretch in the mid-2010s (when the Samsung Galaxy S6 came out) when 1440p (QHD) became commonplace. Many brands have quietly shifted back to 1080p, reserving 1440p for Ultra and Pro models to make them feel more premium. While that might trigger a bit of FOMO, it isn’t nearly as big a feature as brands want you to think.

Then one of my fears came true: the inner screen protector that Samsung advised me not to replace started to come off. First, it bubbled up a little—then, by a lot.

Browser-based tools are a huge part of how many of us work and collaborate on documents. Services like Google Docs or Office 365 make real-time collaboration simple and accessible from anywhere. And while there are some open-source alternatives to these tools, a familiar name may soon return. LibreOffice's long-dormant web app is on its way back, and the timing could not be more perfect.
