3 ways I make NotebookLM my personal sidekick
NotebookLM is marketed as a research and notes companion, but honestly, I don’t quite use it the way Google had intended. The “official” pitch is that you upload documents, and it helps you pull insights and keep track of sources. This is undoubtedly useful for things like academic work, but it can also get boring if that’s all you use it for. Source: xda-developers.com … [Read More...]
I didn't know the Obsidian Reminder plugin existed, but it's exactly what I needed
I run my entire life out of my Obsidian vault, but until now, something has been missing. I've tried multiple to-do apps, but none of those really checked all the boxes — and then I stumbled across the Obsidian Reminder plugin.

Opera is bringing a huge wave of free AI tools to its browsers

It’s incredibly tempting for a novice or first-time PC builder to look at a compatibility list and pair an upper-mid tier CPU and gaming GPU with an affordable $80 motherboard.

I replaced WSL with a full Linux VM, and here’s why it's actually better
Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL, has been an incredibly welcome addition to Windows for those who enjoy developing and tinkering with Linux distributions.

RGB is secretly the worst bloatware on your PC
If your PC features a lot of RGB lighting, chances are you've got software to manage it. While proprietary RGB software will give you complete control over your lighting, most RGB control software consumes hardware resources to run on a consistent basis.

This cute open-source notes app killed Google Keep for me
Google Keep has been my go-to for jotting down quick ideas and making lists. It’s minimal, dead easy to navigate, and also just a tap away on my phone. I love it for its simplicity which allows me to quickly dump half-formed notes. But over time, I started to hit a ceiling.
