For a long time, if you needed to do any video editing, it felt like you only had two real options: pay for software or settle for a free but incomplete replacement. Adobe's move to a subscription model has only aggravated the problem; Premiere now costs you at least $20 per month, usually more.
I’ve installed plenty of apps over the years simply because my phone couldn’t do something I wanted it to do. Need to identify a song? Download an app. Want to send a file to someone nearby? There was an app for that, too. But Android has come a long way, and many of those once-essential apps are no longer necessary. Modern Android phones now have built-in tools for
<p>Home Assistant is free, open-source software that costs nothing to download and install. But the software is only the beginning. Running Home Assistant involves plenty of costs, many of which can be higher than you think.</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2025/07/the-box-for-home-assistant-green.JPG' />

My talk with screenwriter and TV writer-producer whose credits include co-writing the pilot for the series Lost.Jeffrey Lieber was early and active presence on Twitter. A Hollywood writer whose movie credits include Tangled and Tuck Everlasting, and TV credits include Miami Medical, The Whole Truth, Pan Am, Necessary Roughness, Impulse, and NCIS: New Orleans, he offered sage advice to prospective screenwriters. In 2013, I conducted a Go Into The Story interview with him. Here it is in its entire
College costs are soaring, yet many graduates are struggling to find work. These are the majors for the fields projected to have the most job openings through 2034.<img src='https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1758784549626-09b36c047c30?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wyMzg1fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8NXx8Sm9iJTIwT3BlbmluZ3N8ZW58MHx8Mnx8MTc2NDYzNjQ1Mnww&ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=80&w=1080' />
Even if you open job sites while continuing your part-time job, you may find yourself closing them without a single company you want to apply to left. You see job postings that say "no experience required," but you stop before the application button because you don't know if your work history wi
ESP32 boards can be incredibly cheap. They're so cheap that it's easy to fall into the habit of using a new board for each project that you build. Doing so may be wasting the capabilities of your ESP32s, which can handle more than one job at a time.
<p>I never planned to explore the open-source Android world. It started with a simple thought: what would my phone look like if I stopped reaching for Google’s apps for everything?</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2026/08/the-breezy-weather-app-on-an-android-phone.jpg' />
Netflix's U.S. movie chart seems like it's gone into full recruitment mode, with Guy Ritchie's WWII caper flick The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare perched atop the pile at No. 1 and Top Gun: Maverick on loan from Paramount sitting pretty in the third spot.
A full-sized 45L gaming desktop and a 32-inch 4K OLED monitor — that's been my go-to setup for a long time, and the one I always return to between reviews. With the Lenovo Yoga All-in-One i 32 Gen 11 Aura Edition (my goodness, what a name, Lenovo), I feel the desire to return to my trustworthy gaming desktop less than ever. This may be the hero All-in-One PCs should
The great thing about Android is how many choices it provides. You can swap out the home screen, dialer, keyboard, and even app stores. F-Droid is one of our favorite alternatives to the Play Store, but it's never been very pretty to look at. That's finally changing.
Every AI tool I use today has the same problem: it lives in a different tab.I copy text from my editor. I switch to ChatGPT or Claude. I paste. I wait. I copy the answer. I switch back. I paste again. By the time I am done, I have lost the thread of what I was working on.This is not a small annoyance. It is the single biggest tax on my productivity as a developer.So here is a question that has been stuck in my head for months: what if the AI never left the browser in the first place?## The Probl
Every year, millions of phone numbers get reassigned to strangers, and the accounts tied to them often stay behind. If you're switching numbers or carriers, a short audit now can save you from handing someone the keys to your email, bank, and messaging apps.
Handing your phone over to a repair technician can be surprisingly uncomfortable. Even if you trust the person working on it, your Galaxy probably contains years' worth of photos, messages, accounts, documents, and other personal information that you don't want a stranger casually browsing. The problem is that a repair technician may need access to the device to dia
The more you get into using Linux, the more likely you are to start using the Terminal for various tasks. Now, I'll admit that you don't need to do everything in the Terminal. But I truly believe knowing your way around it is pretty vital to the Linux experience (for me, anyway), whether it's learning basic short commands or playing video through the Terminal. Somet

Some of us are still driving around in vehicles without fancy infotainment displays. There are several methods for bringing Android Auto into a car, but what if you just want to use your phone? I came up with a way to optimize my phone for the car without custom launchers or emulators.
AI-exposed jobs have seen skyrocketing pay growth since 2021, compared to those less ripe for tech transformation.<img src='https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1671726203399-f8e364d7c6e0?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=MnwyMzg1fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8MTR8fEpvYnN8ZW58MHx8Mnx8MTY3MzM5MzI0Mg&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=1080' />
