This transparent purple aesthetic isn't the only thing awesome about the Anbernic RG 406H. It plays PS2 games at full speed and handles PC streaming via Moonlight flawlessly! πΉοΈπ₯

In 2011, Motorola tried to replace your laptop with a smartphone. π€―
I used it at uni, but its "Webtop" OS meant it was born to fail. Let's look at the hardware!

Before smartphones, the Creative Zen Vision:M was my ultimate media player. I tried to modernise it with an SD card flash mod. Spoilers: it failed! π
But we still test the software and playback in 2026.

I finally replaced my M1 MacBook setup with the M4 Max Studio.
Is the jump from M1 to M4 really that big? Short answer: Yes.
Stop waiting for the M5. If you need the power, get it now.

I pushed the SLOWEST Intel Mac Mini to its limit!
From a Core Solo & 512MB RAM to to something usable
It cost me time, a lot of trial & error, and literally blood (casing is sharp!)
Is it actually usable now? Find out here: youtu.be/7IRgPnywvOY

Can a Β£70 MacBook from 2014 CRUSH a Β£300 modern Chromebook? π»π₯
I installed Ubuntu on an MacBook Air (i7/8GB) and the benchmarks are shocking. Twice the performance for a fraction of the price!

The harsh truth: If you have an Nvidia GPU, Windows is still king. π

I've leveled up my home network and it means only one thing: a new cringe-worthy WiFi name.
Moving on from "Make WiFi Great Again"... the new SSID is:
"It Hurts when IP"
Send me your best/worst tech puns, I need more! π

I shoved a full Ubuntu desktop onto the Meta Quest 3! π€―
We used Termux & Andronix to get XFCE running via VNC inside VR. Highly impractical, totally nerdy.
