HBO Max doesn't let up when it comes to documentaries, and has had some serious standouts this year already, not least of which is Monsters of God, the ongoing saga of the illegal reptile trade that's 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
The debate between Unraid and TrueNAS feels as strong as the debate between Plex and Jellyfin. The thing is, while Plex and Jellyfin solve a very similar problem, Unraid and TrueNAS aren't solving the same problem at all. In fact, they're very different at the core, so make sure you pick the right NAS OS for your specific use case.
Open-source software usually gets recognized for the big, obvious wins, like replacing a cloud storage subscription or a password manager. What gets less attention are the smaller, oddly specific problems that software can fix just as well. Mostly because it doesn't occur to us that an app exists for it.
There are weekends when I want something easy to watch without wasting time scrolling through Netflix. That's when I usually turn to movies that have already proven they are worth watching, especially older favorites that I haven't gotten around to revisiting.
Full-size SUVs are getting harder to justify as prices climb, but there are still compelling reasons to go big. If you need three rows of genuinely usable space, serious towing capability, and enough power to move a nearly 6,000-pound vehicle with ease, few SUVs can match the versatility of this American favorite. It also undercuts several of its closest rivals on p
Have you noticed a tiny green dot lighting up in the upper-right corner of your Android phone from time to time? If you own a Pixel, you have probably noticed a blue dot as well. These dots don't appear randomly; they serve a useful purpose by notifying you the moment an app on your phone starts using your camera or microphone or accessing your location.
Unless you run a massive rack-mounted Xeon server, your networking gear probably doesn't draw a lot of power. I can't think of a situation where someone I know plugged their router into the wall and tripped a breaker or shorted out their home.
Buying a two-year-old hybrid crossover can be a smart way to get better value without taking on the uncertainty that can come with an older used vehicle. But if reliability is high on your list, one Japanese crossover stands out from the crowd.
When I worked at a university in the area of educational technology, I was a major advocate for open-source software. I took every chance I got to evangelize Linux and open-source apps to the student body. Part of it had to do with helping cash-strapped college students eat less instant ramen, but the other part was philosophical.
I believe that physical media will always have the best quality compared to streaming from an online service, and that’s why I collected so many Blu-ray and DVD discs. Eventually, though, I switched to watching my media on Plex instead, and I won’t go back.

Most "headless vs traditional" posts are written by headless vendors, so the scoreboard comes out 10–0. Here's the version with the losses included. Where traditional actually winsTurnkey SEO. Yoast and Rank Math bolt onto the rendering layer. Meta tags, sitemaps, schema, redirects — a settings panel, no code. A headless CMS ships none of that.

Choosing the right icon library can save developers a lot of time. Instead of creating SVG icons from scratch, you can use an existing library and keep your interface visually consistent.In 2026, developers have many excellent open-source and free icon libraries to choose from. The right option depends on your framework, design style, icon coverage, licensing, and whether you need Figma or frontend integration.Here are 10 icon libraries worth considering for your next web project. What Shou
When Next.js introduced Server Actions, a large portion of the React ecosystem assumed the traditional /api directory was dead. Why build a REST endpoint, define an OpenAPI schema, write a fetch call on the client, and handle CORS when you can just drop a 'use server' directive at the top of a function and call it directly from a button click?The reality of full stack architecture is never that simple. At Coding Macaw, we regularly see engineering teams paint themselves into corners by overusing
<p>3D printing is a hobby that quickly turns casual observers into enthusiasts. That means it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and overlook the rougher edges, even if you’re completely taken in by it.</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2026/02/bambu-lab-print-head-mounted-on-the-gantry-rails.jpg' />
A 3D printer can produce an endless array of tools and accessories to enhance your existing hobbies. Since the weekend is the best time to get crafty, why not print a few things to get you in the mood this weekend?
Seven years ago, Google introduced a more affordable series of Pixel phones, and we've seen 10 models since. The whole point of the lineup, at least to me, has been to give people the Pixel experience without the flagship price tag—and that's the basis on which I ranked them.
Most Fire TV updates feel like they change things just to change them, and I've thought that plenty of updates have made things worse. This recent update is different. Amazon pushed out changes that actually make the device easier to live with day to day, such as a smart home control panel that doesn't interrupt what you're watching, a navigation overhaul that puts
Encrypted DNS sounds like an easy privacy win if you set it up correctly, and it is, but please don't treat it as some bulletproof, foolproof solution that hides everything you do from everyone who might want to know. In fact, it doesn't hide your browsing from your ISP.
The youngest driver in the house often ends up with the oldest car in the driveway, or at least that is how it always went when I was growing up. When your teen takes the keys to a “hand-me-down” vehicle for the school year, there are a few things you can ask your mechanic to look at, or even do at home, to ensure its long-term reliability.
