Before the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) changed the gaming industry forever, it launched a few years earlier in Japan as the Family Computer—also known as the "Famicom."

The Linux terminal is well-known for its productivity tools for savvy users, but it also offers ways to be unproductive. You can do fun things as well as programming and shell scripting. You can play games in the terminal. One collection of games, BSD games, is borrowed from games that were popular on one of Linux's ancestors, BSD. These text-based games were originally developed in the late 1970s and 1980s.

Have you ever noticed how your phone just… doesn’t last like it used to? One day, it’s going strong, and the next, it’s dying before dinner—without warning, without explanation.

There's a lot of thought that goes into owning a NAS. Which NAS do you choose? How much storage do you buy? But, there are also quite a few hidden costs to owning a NAS that you might never have considered.

If you run a Pi-Hole server, you probably, like me, have experienced downtime when updating or rebooting the server. To fix this, I started running two Pi-Hole instances. Here's how I did it, and how I keep them in sync, too.

Storage can be expensive for your NAS or server. You might only think of buying new drives for your servers, but what if I told you there was a different way? A better way. Here's how I save money when upgrading my NAS storage.

If Spotify is focused on one thing, it's personalizing the music listening experience–for better or worse. The Spotify DJ is one of the coolest ways it does this, but it could be so, so much better.

Saturday Night Live’s "Jury Duty" sketch feels like what happens when the writers have too many absurd character ideas and decide to throw them all in one room. The result is a chaotic courtroom of misfits all trying (and failing) to dodge civic responsibility, much to the dismay of Ego Nwodim’s increasingly unamused judge.

Host Mikey Madison and nearly the entire cast rotate through as over-the-top jury candidates, including a male feminist, a clocked bisexual who’s pro-mass incarceration, a prank-calling radio host who impersonates Jay-Z, and the return of Luigi Mangione —alongside a woman who wants to know if her nudes got to him.

Madison plays a "celebrity" juror claiming fame as "one of the people Caitlyn Jenner hit with her car." Shockingly, that excuse doesn’t fly.

There’s no real point to the sketch, and that’s kind of the point. It’s dumb, it’s chaotic, and the cast is clearly having a blast.

Saturday Night Live continued its love affair with hyper-specific game show parodies this week, handing host Mikey Madison the mic in a new sketch called "So Like…What Are We?"

Madison plays Molly Wilson, a woman trying to define her relationship on national television. Her contestant: Jeremy (Hinge) or just Jeremy, played by Michael Longfellow, who says he's fresh out of a long-term relationship and very much not looking for anything serious.

"Oh, that's the wrong answer," quips Madison. "That'll be ten thousand dollars from your personal bank account."

In addition to grilling her contestant on the state of their relationship, Madison dives into the real red flags — like a string of texts past midnight looking for "link up" and that "daddy is hungry for butt."

Maybe staying single isn’t the worst idea after all.
