I love Niagara Launcher and the work that the team has put into making a beautifully minimalist Android home screen—but I would love it even more if it were open source. That’s why, a few times a year, I search for an alternative, and Escape Launcher is my favorite one yet.
Windows wins on convenience for most people, but a few everyday tasks remain genuinely simpler on Linux. Updating software, handling drivers, and diagnosing problems all lean in Linux's favor, thanks to design choices built into the system from the start.
Ryobi is a popular choice for DIYers and homeowners due to its large selection of 18V cordless power tools, but that's not all the company offers. Ryobi batteries can power a lot more than just tools, and the brand also makes some pretty great hand tools you'll love having around the house.
GitHub hosts an enormous amount of genuinely great free and open-source software. But as an interface for discovering and installing apps, it's one of the worst experiences out there. There's no browsing by category, no install button, and half the time the README assumes you already know what a build toolchain is. I got tired of it, so I used Claude to build myself
Most smart TVs you buy nowadays ship with Google TV software, which is basically a forked version of Android TV OS. Google TV promises to bring a content-first layout, powered by AI. The term "content-first" comes with a caveat. As soon as you switch on your TV, you’re presented with a big promotional banner, which is basically a show or movie in your region pushed
Plex is probably the easiest way to get started with building your own media server, but even if you choose to upgrade to Plex Pass, it still doesn't give you everything you might want. Fortunately, there are some third-party apps that can fill in the gaps. I keep my setup fairly lean and built around three main add-ons for detailed stats, different ways to stream a
<p>Recently, my mini PC started acting up. It would freeze every so often, and Windows just didn't feel as responsive as it normally did. Nothing had completely stopped working, but the system had become unreliable enough that I knew something was wrong.</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2026/08/ssd-hero-1.jpeg' />
The Evolution of AI Integration in Next.jsFor the past few years, building AI-powered features in Next.js followed a predictable, albeit tedious, pattern. You would spin up a /api/chat route, handle the incoming request, manually construct a ReadableStream, and then orchestrate a complex dance of fetch calls and chunk parsing on the client side.While this approach worked, it was never truly "native" to the React ecosystem. It felt like plumbing—constantly fighting the framework to bridge t
<p>It seems like everything today has a subscription attached to it—whether a video streaming app, a food diary app, or even a calculator app. No matter the intent, there is a paywall for additional features.</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/img_3982.jpg' />
Some of Excel's most useful features aren't hidden behind complicated menus or obscure keyboard shortcuts. They're built into controls you probably pass over without a second thought. Here are some that can save you time every day.
I'd never considered getting a page turner for my Kindle. When my wife got hers, I finally understood the appeal, but I couldn't believe how the device actually worked.

The advice is everywhere: the frontend is UX, authorization belongs on the backend. It is true, and on its own it is useless — because it stops exactly where the hard part starts. Hide a button in the UI and forget the server, and the action is a curl away. Protect the server and hardcode the UI, and the two drift apart the first time the rules change. The question nobody answers is how to keep the button you hid and the endpoint you protected agreeing with each other. The UI is an affordan

Lithium-ion batteries are one of the most successful technologies ever invented, and now span everything from smartphones to power stations — but the technology is not without its flaws and limitations, and scientists are now busy trying to figure out which type of next-gen battery will take over next.One of the big safety risks with lithium-ion is thermal runaway, causing overheating and fires, and some future battery technologies are focusing on this in particular.
I was among the last to resist, but then I was given a subtle hint that if I won't "improve my productivity and be on par with my colleagues" my work will be at risk. So I started to use Claude Code about a year ago. At first, I'd give it small tasks, review every line it wrote, opened a proper PR, review again, ask questions, ask it to fix stuff I don't like.But I saw that my colleagues were shipping more, and so I started to ease on my reviews. At first, I would push s
