Honda retired the Prelude back in 2001, leaving a hole in the sporty two-door lineup that combined style, reliability, and everyday usability. Seeing it back at the 2026 Detroit Auto Show makes the revival feel real in a way photos never could.

Are you ready to dive into some fun Raspberry Pi projects? From creating your own off-grid long-range mesh texting system to building a microscope, here are three Raspberry Pi projects sure to keep you busy this weekend.

If you're looking for a weekend watch session that covers all the feels—excitement, bittersweetness, and some creepy shivers, I dug up a few documentaries on Prime Video I think you'll like.

Sports coupes often force buyers to choose between exhilarating performance and everyday usability, but one model in 2025 strikes a rare balance between the two. It delivers high-octane fun with sharp handling and strong acceleration, yet retains the practicality that many drivers need from a daily driver. With its four-door design and usable rear seats, it bridges the gap between performance car and sensible sedan in a way few rivals manage.

Microsoft Excel is getting two new functions for importing data from other files, without the need to use Power Query or other more complex tools. They're now being tested in Excel for Windows, and they should come to other platforms in the future.

I've been on a little bit of a self-hosting kick since last year. It started with a simple self-hosted replacement for Trello, but ever since, I've been trying to replace my everyday apps with self-hosted alternatives. It recently hit me that I'm paying for Spotify Premium, but I rarely ever open the app because I don't like the recommendations Spotify serves me. Most of the time, I just listen to the music I have saved on my phone. So I spent the last few days looking for an app to stream my small music collection. It took some trial and error, but I found one that I'm pleased with. Here's how I self-hosted a Spotify-like app for my music library.

It’s that time again—time for you to work on more homelab projects! Today, I’m focusing on security in the homelab, plus moving some of your resources away from virtual machines to containers uniquely. Here are three projects you can try in the homelab this weekend.

Verizon is now issuing a $20 account credit to customers who were affected by the massive, nearly day-long cellular service outage that crippled voice and data services earlier this week. It is working to provide financial relief for the disruption, but it won't be automatic.

Excel's UNIQUE function is a game-changer for cleaning data, but it has a frustrating limitation: it only works with adjacent columns. But by nesting additional functions inside it, you can create a dynamic, custom list that ignores the columns you don't want to include.

Love doesn’t always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes it shows up quietly, when you catch a familiar shape in traffic and realize you’re smiling for no real reason.

Flash drives are a convenient way to temporarily store files, or a fast way to move things between two PCs. Unless you've got very fast internet, or have invested heavily in your home network, a flash drive is almost always faster.

Raspberry Pi has sold the AI HAT+ board for over a year now, giving Pi boards the ability to run lightweight machine learning models for object detection, file tagging, and other tasks. Now, there's a Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ 2, and it's powerful enough to run large language models (LLMs).

Spotify is hitting its Premium subscribers with yet another cost increase. This marks the third time in four years that the music streaming giant has raised its subscription prices. The company announced the expected hike early Thursday, affecting users in the US, Estonia, and Latvia.

Amazon might be the most popular online storefront, but it's far from perfect. Knock-off products are frustratingly common, especially when ordering one particular product: SD cards.

Do you waste the first 10 minutes of every work session figuring out what you need to do? Does Alt+Tabbing between apps leave you feeling mentally scattered? These were common problems in my workflow until I started using widgets and transformed my desktop into a productivity dashboard.

Are you wanting to play retro games on a tiny computer? The bad news is that the classic choice, Raspberry Pi devices, have been going up in price lately (again). The good news is there's a cheaper alternative: RISC-V.

The compact SUV segment has long been dominated by familiar imports, with models like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V leading sales year after year. But in 2025, one American SUV is closing the gap fast, attracting buyers with a compelling mix of practicality, value, and everyday usability. Its improved refinement and broad appeal suggest it could soon rival those segment heavyweights in total sales.

Do you have multiple Linux PCs that you work with? Do you ever find yourself annoyed by switching between keyboards and mice? You're in luck thanks to this free and open source app.

You may think that when you buy an SSD, the only two specs to be mindful of are its read/write speeds and its capacity. However, there's one more spec that plays a big part in how your SSD will perform. It can be the factor between your new SSD being a waste of money and a sound investment.

I love GitHub, and have used it for many, many years. GitHub isn’t always the best choice for code revisioning though. When I started building some private apps, I decided to look into alternatives and ended up self-hosting my own private git-based server instead.
