I got my current work laptop when I was a broke student. Granted, I’m still a broke student, but back then, all I really knew was that I wanted a MacBook and that my bank balance was embarrassing to look at. So, I went with a MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM, figuring it would be enough for the kind of work I do.

The Apple Watch 12 just launched, and you can now save $50 by buying it on Amazon. The discount isn't steep, but it's the best price we've seen from any retailer, dropping it down to $350. This is the price for the 42mm Wi-Fi/GPS model, and three color options are on sale.

I leave Claude Code conversations open when I take a break and return to the same session when I’m ready to continue. The conversation still contains the files, instructions, and decisions relevant to the task, so I can pick up where I left off without explaining everything again. However, thanks to Claude Code’s new cost command, I found out how many tokens this one habit has been costing me.

I don't know about you, but it irks me to no end that I need a remote for nearly every device in my home. Between my television, air conditioners, air purifiers, audio systems, and more, I have five or more remotes sitting in a bin in my living room.

Picking up new drives for your network-attached storage (NAS) can prove challenging, especially in today's pricing climate where every piece of technology is inflated by supply constraints. NAS-specific drives already cost considerably more than standard consumer storage, which is why I’ve used other methods to acquire HDDs for my own systems. These include buying discounted enterprise drives and shucking external enclosures. Shucking drives used to offer the best storage discounts around, but it's more a gamble these days.

I've been toying around with running large language models (LLMs) at home with an RX 7900 XT and a whopping 20 GB of VRAM, which isn't much when considering some of the hardware options for AI development. I've used an LLM to build apps, websites, scripts, short story outlines, images, extended design briefs, and more. But I wanted to see how far I could push it in new ways, so I tasked one with building Git. Not a GitHub alternative (Gitea is brilliant for that), but my own version control system with a repo, snapshots, everything. Linus created Git in 10 days. My LLM managed to pull it off in a few hours.
