Tutorials, honest reviews, and lessons learned across tech, education, and everyday life.
by Tharun P KarunWhy I built AndroidTV Ultimate, a local-first Homebridge plugin with secure Remote Service v2 pairing, accurate power state, automatic IP recovery, configurable inputs, and HDMI-CEC wake support.
Read ArticleHow I turned a conventional infrared AC into a single Apple Home thermostat tile using a Tuya Smart AC Controller, Tuya IoT, and Homebridge—and what the cloud and one-way IR limitations really mean.
How I kept IPv4 routing on an ER605, extended one dynamic ISP IPv6 /64 across isolated VLANs with OPNsense, and automated NDP recovery.
AI coding tools have moved from experiment to standard in many engineering orgs. Most teams now rely on AI assistance, top adopters report doubled pull request throughput, and autonomous agents are taking on more routine coding tasks.
Mozilla is rolling out a free, built-in VPN with Firefox 149, starting in the US, UK, France and Germany with a 50GB monthly data allowance. Here is how it works, what it covers, and when you should still consider a full device VPN.
AI tools now let people build simple apps with text prompts, but Apple is scrutinizing these 'vibe coding' experiences on iPhone. Here is why App Store policies are complicating approvals, what Apple says, and how this could evolve.
Nvidia unveiled DLSS 5, a real-time neural rendering model that can rewrite a games lighting and materials with generative AI. The promise is photorealism, the reaction is backlash, as players say it overwrites artistic intent and gives everything the same AI-slop look.
An ex-Google Maps product manager used AI agents and "vibe coding" to assemble a Palantir-like geospatial intelligence dashboard in hours, not months. Here is what was built, why the speed matters, and what the public-versus-private data gap means for privacy, policy, and the future of software.
Biological data centers built on living human neurons are moving from lab demo to real facilities. Here is why I support this bold shift, what Cortical Labs is building, and the hurdles it must clear to complement today’s power-hungry AI infrastructure.
