The Linux Challenge PT 4 is OVER! After more than 1 month using some flavor of Linux Linus, Luke and Elijah all sit down to discuss what they liked and didn't like about using it. While there are some cons (obviously) there was WAY more surprises and positives that all 3 experienced this time around. So much so that ALL of them are struggling with deciding if they are switching back to Windows or staying on Linux...

WWDC '26 was PACKED with announcements ranging from Airpods EQ to Parental controls to Design changes. But the biggest announcement is of course surrounding AI and Apple's integration with Siri. Whether it's reminding you to buy concert tickets, or helping you plan a holiday, if Apple can deliver on the promises they are making it seems like the rest of the industry could be playing catch up so some time.

A test bench usually means power, cooling, and tools at your fingertips. But what do you do when the hardware you need to validate pulls over 100,000 watts?

When we placed our $100 deposit on the Trump T1 Phone, it was mostly for the lols. We fully expected a scam, and for almost a year the wild changes in specs, crudely photoshopped images, and viral claims of hundreds of thousands of ripped-off customers have suggested we were right. But now.... It’s actually shipping? We teamed up with Dominic Preston of the Verge to get to the bottom of this roller coaster of a story.
