If you spend a lot of time working in the Terminal, you undoubtedly have your favorite CLI (command line interface) and TUI (terminal or text-based user interface) apps. One of mine is a TUI app called cmus.

Like sharks, the viewing public must always be moving forward to survive, with life-giving new movies and TV shows always sweeping past our gills. When Netflix released its list of everything coming for the month of June 2026, the equal and opposite reaction is that there's a pile of things that must inevitably leave the streaming service, too, as licensing deals expire. That also means that time is running out for you to tick them off your watch list before they ride off into the sunset.

When the original Range Rover debuted in 1970, it introduced something the automotive world had not quite seen before: a vehicle as capable on a muddy trail as it was parked outside a five-star hotel. That unique combination of rugged capability and refined luxury few, if any, SUVs can pull off today. Yet, Land Rover has been doing it for five decades.

I live with the strange dichotomy of liking Samsung Galaxy Watches but not Galaxy phones. So, for years, I’ve used a Galaxy Watch with a Pixel phone. Recently, I decided to give a Samsung phone a chance, and it immediately unlocked some extra watch features.

What's the status of your Wi-Fi password? I wager that if I surveyed most people I know, I'd find two groups split right down the middle: people who never bothered to change theirs, and people who changed theirs to something painfully easy or funny. Then, there's a handful of people who try to beat possible networking issues by staying on top of their Wi-Fi passwords.

With May almost in our rearview mirror (it was a great month that scorched with The Punisher: One Last Kill, Daredevil: Born Again and more!) it's not only time to get ready to enjoy the warmer climes of the summer but it's time to stack your watchlist with all the great new movies and shows coming to Disney+ and Hulu in June.

Some cars get attention for being fast, luxurious, or packed with the latest technology. Others build their reputation the old-fashioned way: by showing up every day and refusing to quit.

DeWALT makes tools for everyone, from DIYers and homeowners to professionals. We're all familiar with the 20V Max and Atomic tool lineups, and most people have the basics like a drill and driver. But did you know DeWALT makes several lesser-known tools that can make jobs easier than ever?

If you are an avid television watcher, then you will likely subscribe to multiple streaming services. Frankly, we now live in a world where one streaming service is simply not enough for movies, TV shows, sports, and live news. You can try your best to create your perfect streaming lineup, but you must be smart about what services to keep and cut.

Can you reliably function without an internet connection? I suppose I could, in theory, but I'd be out of a job. If you're like me, an unreliable network is a real nightmare, and you never know when connection issues will rear their ugly heads, thrusting you right back into hours of annoying troubleshooting.

Affordable compact cars are supposed to be simple commuters, but rising prices across the segment have made many entry-level sedans feel harder to justify than they used to. Buyers shopping on a tighter budget are increasingly looking for cars that don’t just save money upfront, but also feel refined enough to live with every day. That has opened the door for a handful of compact sedans that focus less on flashy performance and more on comfort, technology, and overall value.

It's so easy to install Linux on a PC these days. Be glad you don't still have to compile the kernel yourself just to get an OS on your computer. All you have to do is download a disc image, create some bootable media, and you'll be on your desktop environment of choice within minutes.

Packing for a trip used to mean throwing a charger, headphones, power bank, and whatever else felt essential into a bag the night before departure.

Everyone has at least a couple of Windows features they find particularly annoying. Whether that's ads showing up everywhere, deep OneDrive integration that can sometimes make locally stored files harder to manage, or not being able to uninstall certain built-in apps even though you know you'll never use them, we all have our Windows pet peeves.

Android Auto is one of the most convenient features on most modern cars, even if it's a bit underused. It's just a pared-down and limited version of Android, which makes most apps pretty useless. However, there are several essential apps you'll actually love using, and I'm not talking about Google Maps or your favorite music player.

June’s lineup on Paramount+ is packed with buzzy originals, returning favorites, and a fresh wave of movies and reality hits. Whether you’re in the mood for romance, high-stakes espionage, or pure escapist fun, the streamer is leaning into variety in a big way this summer.

Samsung and Google claim the top spots for smartwatches and wearable tech (alongside Apple), and for good reason. While the war between the Galaxy and Pixel smartwatches continues, with many smartwatch wearers picking their favorite out of those two, there's another contender in the ring that gets criminally overlooked: Garmin.

You don't need three travel apps, five subscriptions, and a dozen login accounts just to plan a vacation. I replaced all of it with a single Excel template—and ended up with a faster, cleaner, offline-accessible itinerary that made modern travel apps feel a lot more complicated than they need to be.
