Everyone's using Otter AI for transcription, but I use Whisper locally on my PC instead, here's how

2025-08-23 17:00:19

Let me start by confessing my dislike for AI note-takers like Otter AI and Fireflies. They are undeniably useful, but also a privacy nightmare. All it takes is one teammate bringing one of these note-takers into a meeting, and suddenly everyone else is forced to deal with email notifications they never consented to. On top of that, they flood in-call chats with ongoing transcriptions. Reports have even alleged that Otter AI secretly records private work conversations.

Someone built their own dual-screen handheld with a Raspberry Pi 5 CM, and so can you

2025-08-23 12:28:47

Why buy a handheld console when you can make your own? We've seen plenty of Raspberry Pi portable consoles in the past, ranging from the Steam Deck-esque to the truly "pocket-sized." But rarely do we see them come with two screens, akin to Nintendo's DS and 3DS systems.

This free self-hosted file explorer links all of my storage into one web-based UI

If you work on multiple projects with different clients, you probably know how difficult it is to manage files across external drives, network shares, Google Drive, and other cloud buckets. It's pretty annoying, inefficient, and definitely not what you expect file management to be in today's time.

Ranking every major PS5 exclusive game from this generation

Alright, let's make one thing clear — I'm not happy with the current gaming generation when it comes to consoles. As an exclusive PlayStation-plus-PC guy since the PS4, I was quick to buy a PS5, and slow to realize just how terribly short the list of true exclusives on that console was. Am I happy that a lot of PlayStation games are now on PC where I can enjoy them with better framerates and mods? Absolutely. At the same time, there's just something special about kicking back on the La-Z-Boy and taking in a brilliant 'PlayStation exclusive'.

Someone just acquired 10% of Intel, and it's, uh...Donald Trump

2025-08-23 08:30:14

In the past week, the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, was in talks with the CEO of Intel, Lip-Bu Tan. We didn't hear much of what was going on, and while there were some speculations and claims as to what was going on around the negotiation table, we didn't hear of anything concrete. Well, now we have confirmation as to what was going on, as both the POTUS and Intel have broken the silence to say that the US government has acquired 10% of Intel's shares, seemingly for free.

My Tailscale is fully self-hosted and I wouldn't have it any other way

2025-08-23 08:00:18

When it comes to remotely accessing your home network, not many tools are as simple to set up and easy to use as Tailscale. All you need to do is sign in with your credentials, and your devices are instantly connected to your private, encrypted tailnet. It's got plenty of excellent features to play with, but there's one issue for some people — Tailscale hosts the control plane.
