Everyone from Instagram influencers to big-name CEOs seems to be saying the same thing: AI is going to be the end of SaaS (Software as a Service). And while I’d love a world with fewer subscriptions, when I look around, I see quite the opposite. If anything, more software subscriptions are popping up every year, often at absurdly inflated prices.
Being caught empty-handed on the side of the road is a situation no one wants to experience. I'm the type of person who likes to be prepared, so I keep a little travel toolkit in my truck. Additionally, two Ryobi tools are usually in my vehicle and come along for every ride.
This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I BuiltI built Bird Caller, a beautiful offline web application designed to get you out into nature. It listens to your microphone and identifies bird songs, wildlife, and even weather elements (like rain, streams, or wind) in real-time.When you discover something cool, you can click the + button to save it to your Field Journal—a local logbook that tracks your encounters.The coolest part? It uses o
One of the best things about Microsoft 365 is how its apps can work together. Loop can talk to Teams, Lists can talk to Power Automate, and Word can talk to Outlook. But when I thought about the cross-app connections I use most—and the ones that save me the most time—I noticed something: they all involve Excel.
After four months of letting a robot lawn mower manage my grass through crazy weather, hot summer months, objects in the yard, and daily wear, was it worth it? Is the grass really greener on the other side? The convenience is fantastic, but it's not without its quirks. While I absolutely love it, and it saves my weekend, I have thoughts.
The sweaters and jackets are out of storage, the furnace is rumbling, and Netflix's October slate of TV shows is heating up, with returning hits like The Diplomat on the way, as well as some anticipated new documentaries.
Formatting an SSD seems like the obvious thing to do if you want to sell it, give it away, or even just give it a new job doing something else. I'm not here to dispute that, but I think that many people are unaware that formatting isn't the 100% fail-proof solution some think it is.
Most people assume the cable that ships with a flagship phone is built to match the phone's actual capabilities. That's a reasonable assumption since it comes straight from the manufacturer, and most companies don't want to look bad if they want repeat customers. Samsung spent years developing fast charging technology that cuts charge times significantly, and you pr

Back when Twitter was fun, screenwriters would sometimes string together a series of tweets - what came to be known as "tweetstorms." Advice, personal anecdotes, reflections on the craft. It was pretty awesome.The only problem: Once the tweetstorm came ... it went.So, I took to contacting the writers and asking if I could reprint their tweetstorm at Go Into The Story. That way, they'd at least be stored where folks could access them in the future.Here's an example: In May 201

The community often recommends self-hosted apps like Pi-hole, Vaultwarden, Audiobookshelf, and more. These aren't the only options; plenty of other self-hosted tools can do truly ingenious things. Many of them are lightweight enough to run on that old Raspberry Pi you should still have in your drawer.
There are two big players in the home networking space—eero and UniFi. They both target different audiences, and I have extensive experience with both. I've chosen UniFi to run my homelab because, at this point, it's the only good option out there for my needs. Here's why I use UniFi and why I left eero in the dust.
Netflix's prestige scripted hits like Florence Pugh's chart-topping East of Eden might get the lion's share of the hype, but documentaries and docuseries reliably rank as some of the streamer's most-watched programming. It turns out that even the greatest writers can't script some of the head-shaking storylines that only real life can conjure.
Excel has a funny habit of giving you useful little tools and then making you work to find them. That can be frustrating, but you can fix a lot of Excel annoyances with a few small tweaks until it works the way you want. That's where I landed with table names. I wanted them to be easier to see, and it turns out Excel gives you a couple of ways to make that happen. T
Let me be clear about something — I've been looking for a way to desperately cut down on my screen time. Not just for an article, but like, actually. I think it's a problem. Turns out, actively integrating your smartwatch into attempts to curb that is actually a great idea.
