Whenever I feel I’m in the right headspace to start working on my essays and writing scripts, I’m usually away from my PC. I needed something portable, accessible, and nice to type on. I dug through my drawers for inspiration and had a lightbulb moment when I found my old phone, which I've tried to repurpose multiple times. None of those purposes have ever stuck long-term, but I think a distraction-free writing device might finally be the project that will make it thrive in its final years.

Most ATX and micro-ATX motherboards come with more headers than the average builder has uses for. On average, even a really savvy builder will only ever use 6 to 7 headers out of the available 18–20, and that number goes down further if one doesn't care about RGB features or goes for an air cooling solution instead of an AIO.

I'll admit something embarrassing for someone who writes about display tech for a living. My last TV ran in its factory picture mode for the better part of a year. I'd taken weeks agonizing over panel types, my budget, and peak brightness numbers, and when it arrived, I plugged it in and ignored any of the settings. Now, to be fair, I use an Apple TV 4K with any display I watch movies on, and it's set to Dolby Vision mode, so I might not have noticed the TV was in a subpar setting.

Not every app you try works the first time. I have hundreds installed and often find myself stumbling onto an old one that I'd written off too soon, only to realize it's actually fantastic. Sometimes all it takes is a different setup, or perhaps different life circumstances that now require a curated stack. Notes apps fall into this category too, especially Obsidian.

If you're a modern early adopter and just bought yourself a flagship co-product bus PC or laptop, you might be facing a sudden software reality. Microsoft drops the highly anticipated Windows 11 26H2 feature update, and your brand-new machine isn't even eligible to download it. Meanwhile, a five-year-old Intel 8300 5th Gen desktop is updating flawlessly.

The Baseus Spacemate 11-port USB-C docking station is exactly what you need if you're looking to expand the capabilities of your laptop. Docking stations like these often come at a price, but the discount on Amazon is pretty steep right now, dropping from the original MSRP of $150, to a new low price of $100.
