The year is drawing to an end, which means Apple's 2025 App Store Awards have recognized the best apps for all your Apple devices. The contenders for iPhone's App of the Year were strong, but I was not surprised at which app emerged as the winner.

All the popular power tool brands produce a ton of excellent tools, and that means you have endless options to choose from. And sure, Milwaukee, Ryobi, DeWALT, and others all make many similar items, but Milwaukee also offers some rather obscure items you've probably never seen or heard of. Here are a few that you'll likely want to buy once you're aware of them.

Christmas and nostalgia go hand in hand, and this year I’m overdosing on both with the help of my Raspberry Pi. One thing I remember fondly from childhood is playing Christmas-themed games and demos on my Amiga, so I figured now is the perfect time to relive the classics.

Are you still using gigabit Ethernet as the backbone of your homelab? It’s time to stop. As we get ready to enter 2026, it’s time to leave 1998 in the past and embrace a multi-gig future.

It’s easy to forget that the Android Auto display in your car is literally your phone. So, if you’re out of cell signal range, the maps you need to navigate aren’t going to be very useful. That is, unless you’ve planned ahead—I’ll give you two options.

For most Americans, the idea of owning a $130,000 sedan sounds ridiculous. Even if you could swing it, there are better ways to spend that kind of cash, and waiting for depreciation can feel like a gamble.

Last night's episode of SNL was Bowen Yang's last as a cast member. He announced his departure from the show on Instagram just a day before the show, after the release of a teaser with him and host Ariana Grande, and musical guest Cher.

Yang's final sketch featured him as an employee of the Delta One Lounge, pouring eggnog for flyers for one final shift.

"I'm going to miss everything about this place. The way it smells. Celebrities would come through. Just last week, Josh O'Connor was here," he said, referring to the actor and last week's host.

He gets a call from an elderly-looking Ariana Grande who tells Yang she's proud of him for everything he's done (with eggnog, of course) over the years — even when the eggnog was rotten. He and Grande then sing a rendition of "Please Come Home for Christmas," and he's eventually joined by Grande in the lounge.

"I just feel so lucky that I ever got to work here," Yang said, definitely not referring to the Delta One Lounge. "And I just wanted to enjoy it for a little bit longer. Especially the people. I've loved every single person who works here because they've done so much for me, especially my boss."

But within the sketch, Yang wasn't referring to Lorne Michaels but Cher, who emerges as the "CEO of Eggnog at Delta." The three of them close out the song and the sketch with a teary farewell to Yang.

The last SNL of the year kept making jabs at the redacted Epstein files that dropped on Friday (followed by a disappearance of some of them by Saturday). First, an Epstein-heavy cold open with James Austin Johnson's Donald Trump, and then a Weekend Update filled with references to the disgraced financier.

Anchor Colin Jost joked that it's the time of year when we're all talking about "the man who flies through the air to visit children all over the world"...Jeffrey Epstein. Fellow anchor Michael Che then assumed that the Department of Justice couldn't release all the files on Friday because they "ran out of black ink."

Weekend Update stayed on politics this week, taking aim at RFK's move to ban transgender affirming care, Marjorie Taylor Greene's engagement, and Trump's apparent health problems. They also made fun of Vanity Fair's interview with White House officials, like Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who said Trump had an "alcoholic's personality."

"Hey, don't you dare compare him to my friend, Michael Che," Jost said.

USB-C is finally making its way into everything, and I’m in no position to complain. After spending much of my life lamenting the design decisions that went into USB-A, mini USB, and the dreaded micro USB connectors, I for one welcome USB-C ubiquity.

I write about tech every day, which means taking a lot of screenshots. The built-in Windows Snipping tool works for the occasional screenshot, but it doesn't work for my regular workflow. I can't configure the hotkeys, the annotation tools are limited, and there are no tabs or autosave features. If you want something better than the snipping tool, try any of these screenshot tools.

The superhero genre may consist mostly of multiverse mayhem and larger-than-life battles, but there have also been occasions where heroes have embraced the holiday spirit. Sometimes our beloved heroes are dragged into a villain's scheme while their worlds celebrate, while others have focused on their own efforts to take a break with their loved ones during the festive period.

For the last SNL of the year, President Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) got into a festive mood — by talking about Jeffrey Epstein for the umpteenth time.

The cold open wasn't the first time SNL mentioned Epstein, even in cold opens. But it was the first episode since the recent release of new files pertaining to Epstein on Friday, followed by the quick removal of some of them on Saturday.

Referencing Trump's Wednesday night primetime address to the nation, Johnson's Trump showed up to the podium surrounded by Christmas decorations by an ornate fireplace. He discussed the recent renaming of the Kennedy Center to include his own name, and ribbed that it'll also happen to the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. He said he's putting his name on so many buildings "because we had to take it off of so many files," referencing the heavily redacted Epstein files.

"We had so many Trumps in there, we had to put them somewhere," SNL's Trump said.

The rambling cold open also mentions Trump's announcement of the Hunger Games-like Patriot Games, Venezuela, and somehow, the Indigo Girls. But there was time to celebrate the season, too. "I'm doing my own version of Nativity now," Johnson's Trump said. "Where kings from the Middle East bring gifts for me like gold and airplane and casino deal in Dubai."

Google recently released its own code editor, Antigravity. Based on Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code, Antigravity brings a lot to the table. I’ve been using it for the past few weeks, and here’s why I think it should be your IDE of choice.

3D-printed gifts can be a real mixed bag. On the one hand, you have the power to craft something truly unique, but on the other, you’re at risk of giving someone another one of those articulated dragon models they never asked for.

Are you wrestling with whether to stick with Windows or switch to Linux? Don't want to lose Windows app compatibility but desperately want Linux’s superior privacy and performance? Well, dual booting allows you to have your cake and eat it too.

For years, like millions of others, I've tolerated Microsoft Word's bizarre formatting, sluggish performance, and chaotic ribbon. Now, I'm done pretending that this dominant, costly software is a good product. The truth is, it's a headache of a program that has failed to truly improve for decades.

What is it that makes using a phone feel so different from using a computer? Part of it is the way we switch between apps—but there’s a hidden feature on your Samsung phone that makes navigating a phone as simple as on any PC.

Hybrid SUVs are supposed to deliver the best of both worlds, but many popular options now come with rising prices and only modest efficiency gains. That’s why this lesser-known hybrid crossover is turning heads. It undercuts one of the segment’s best-selling models while delivering better real-world fuel economy, making it a compelling option for buyers who want to spend less at the pump and at the dealership.
