<p>Buying smart home tech is different from other kinds of tech, because you're likely going to find yourself putting holes in the wall. While you can do this by hand, there's one tech purchase that makes all the difference.</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2026/05/greenworks-power-drill.jpg' />
The Boys' last-ever episode has drawn overwhelmingly negative reactions from its online community. <img src='https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/T8oWNLChfwVdcCdsQgyWXn-1280-80.jpg' />
Can't find what you're looking for in an Excel worksheet? If you're manually scrolling or hammering Ctrl+F, you're wasting time. Excel has faster ways to pinpoint messy data—and once you start using them, you won't go back.
Are you still paying for all of your online services? Well, it's time to kick some paid services to the curb and start self-hosting. Here are five self-hosted services that aren't just free, but they're actually better than their paid alternatives.

NFC tags are incredibly cheap yet useful tools in your smart home. Not only can they trigger automations in Home Assistant, they can also log which device scanned them. I have an NFC tag next to my front door, and it's removed the need for a surprising number of other smart home devices.
The temperature is set to rocket this weekend, so grab one of these affordable fans now so you can stay comfortable at home and on the move. <img src='https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ezJsgmTKnHM33arL7Kysxk-1280-80.jpg' />
Your smart home shouldn’t be hard to understand, but the reality is often a different story. You know that some lights turn on and off automatically, how to control the HVAC, and which switches should never be turned off at the wall.

I’d like to share my open-source project VuReact — a compiler toolchain for migrating from Vue to React, while also enabling a “write React with Vue syntax” workflow. 🤔 Why I Built ItI love Vue’s <script setup>, Composition API, and its intuitive mental model.But many projects still require React.Until now, the options were usually:Rewrite everything manuallyRely on unreliable syntax converters or AI rewritesRun Vue and React side-by-side at runtime and deal with the resulting complex
Using Reflect for Safe Object Manipulation IntroductionIn the ever-evolving landscape of JavaScript, one of the crucial aspects of writing maintainable and robust code is the ability to manipulate objects safely and effectively. JavaScript's flexibility, while a boon for rapid prototyping, often leads to unintended consequences, such as inadvertent property overwrites, prototype pollution, and broken encapsulation. To address these concerns, ES6 introduced the Reflect API, providing a
VuReact compiles Vue 3 code into standard, maintainable React code. In this article, the focus is on one of Vue's most important derived-state APIs: computed().If you write computed() in Vue, what does VuReact generate for React? Before We Dive InTo avoid noisy examples, this article follows two small conventions:All Vue and React snippets are intentionally simplified to show only the core logic.The discussion assumes you are already familiar with how Vue 3 computed works. Compilation

Every experienced developer has been there: a test suite that passes on your machine but fails in CI, a green build that hides a broken integration, or a test that's so tightly coupled to implementation that it breaks every time you refactor. These aren't testing failures, they're mocking failures.Mocking exists to solve a fundamental tension in software testing: the need to test a unit of code in complete isolation while that code inevitably depends on the outside world, databases, APIs, queues
The Google I/O 2026 session on Firebase was exactly what frontend developers needed to hear. If there is one thing that keeps developers awake at night when building large-scale e-commerce applications, it is state synchronization. Managing a user's cart across multiple tabs, devices, and sessions while keeping inventory updated in real-time is notoriously complex.Tuning into the What's New in Firebase session, I was looking for solutions that reduce boilerplate code and improve real-time perfor
Guys, be honest! Just imagined one day while you are brewing a hot matcha latte in the morning and all of a sudden,.. Ting! You heard the familiar sound of an email notification from your phone. You open and see a big title: "Congratulations! You have been offered a decision to work at Google."Being able to do that not only takes an insane amount of efforts, but also a detailed and clear roadmap as well. But have you ever noticed in today's digital world there are a huge amount of information,
The Google I/O 2026 Keynote left us with a lot to unpack, but as a frontend developer deeply invested in building React applications, the updates to the Gemini ecosystem completely stole the show. We are moving past the era of just "chatbots" into a phase where AI acts as the core logical engine of web applications.Currently, I am developing a comprehensive tech e-commerce platform. One of the biggest challenges in e-commerce is creating personalized, dynamic user experiences that mimic a real-l
Six months ago I started running every non-trivial piece of code through AI before it shipped. Not prototypes — real ERP and CRM modules with paying clients on the other end. Batch processing tables, MRP allocation logic, dynamic invoice builders, real-time dashboards.Here's what I found out. What AI is actually good atDuplicate functions. In a codebase that's been touched by multiple devs over months, this is AI's most reliable win. It flagged things like: "This mirrors formatCurrency in u
Recently I was using functiongemma and watched it load and run local source code as a tool call without any training/tuning. A couple days later I got Qwen35 in Open-WebUI to use the "native" tool-calling. With Open-WebUI I could observe the changes as it ran inside the docker containers crawling over stuff on its own, but it was not obvious to observe functiongemma.As a control freak, the differences in how these two tool-calling approaches got me thinking:How will open source en
I originally made Serene Bach in the 2000s as a weblog engine written in Perl CGI. I rebuilt it from scratch in Go as a single binary that can run either as a CGI program or as a normal HTTP server.I know CGI is generally considered legacy technology now, but I still rely on it for shared hosting. In this version, I added Markdown support, a responsive default theme, Open Graph image generation, and static output generation.It is still in beta, but the repository includes a Docker image publishe
