I review coffee machines for a living and my hands-down favourite model is 49% off — and I can't recommend it highly enough
I’ve used and reviewed a number of the best coffee machines in Australia in the last few years, from simple one-button pod options through to more involved models offering plenty of refinement. For my money, one of the standout espresso machines I’ve had the pleasure of using is the Philips LatteGo 4400 Series, and it’s now down to a delightfully low AU$613 at Amazon for a limited time. This compact model from Philips is a fully automatic machine, meaning you only nee
ChatGPT has started dropping unexpected f-bombs — and I think I’ve found the reason why
Have you noticed that ChatGPT has suddenly started dropping f-bombs? I have, and it seems that I’m not the only one.It first happened in a casual chat, and it really caught me off guard. We were discussing Netflix’s Jujutsu Kaisen and before I had sworn in our chat, ChatGPT used the f-bomb to describe a character’s actions as “f**** awful”. Before that, I’d said things like “God damn,” in the conversation, but ChatGPT was the one to introduce the f-word. It did so com
AI vendor dependency is becoming a resilience risk
Now that AI has quickly become embedded in global enterprise operations, it has the ability to impact everything from data analysis to decision-making and even security. Most conversations, however, focus on AI capability, power, productivity, and accuracy, but leave out one major issue. While everyone is focused on what happens as AI is implemented, very few are asking what happens when access to AI capability suddenly disappears.A prominent example of this is the de
NATO wants thousands of AI drones guarding its borders — but there’s one thing they won’t be allowed to do
NATO is planning to fortify the border with Russia and its allies with a network of sensors and drones, with AI assistanceThe Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative will track threats along the NATO borders with Russia and BelarusThe strategy mirrors the steps taken by Ukraine to bolster its defenses against Russian aggressionNATO’s concerns about its border with Russia and Belarus have grown into plans to deploy sensors and drones along 3,500 kilometers, with an AI elem
5 Netflix shows to watch this week if you only have an hour to kill
Stop me if you've heard this before: "I don't have enough time in the day." I don't have the stats, but I'll go out on a limb to say that 99% of us, including myself, have muttered that common phrase before. In my case, I talk about not having enough time when it comes to streaming. I watch a lot of shows for work, but I struggle to find things to stream when presse
Why CachyOS is the better Arch-based distro if you're not gaming 24/7
<p>CachyOS has earned a reputation for being fast, but because speed is easiest to benchmark in frame rates, it’s often discussed in the context of gaming too.</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2025/11/a-laptop-screen-with-the-cachyos-logo-showing-in-a-linux-terminal.jpg' />

Paywalls on wheels: How software-defined vehicles plan to charge you later
20 years ago, the computers in your car mostly handled fuel injection and ignition timing, shifted the transmission, and triggered the anti-lock brakes when something went wrong. Each one ran on a dedicated chip, wired to do exactly one job, and nothing changed unless a mechanic swapped the part.
On Writing
“The writer by nature of his profession is a dreamer and a conscious dreamer. They must imagine, and imagination takes humility, love and…Continue reading on Go Into The Story »
Finally, an Android maker besides Google is embracing magnetic charging
You might not have to buy a Google Pixel to get an Android smartphone with Qi2 magnetic wireless charging built-in. Well-known leaker Evan Blass has revealed that Motorola is working on a Moto Snap charger that hints at Qi2 coming to its broader phone lineup.
GPU undervolting isn't worth the hassle: Set a power limit to drop temps in seconds
In some ways, your GPU is just an expensive and fancy way to turn electricity into heat and noise. These high-performance components try to squeeze every possible frame out for you, but the cost of the last few frames is much higher than the first few.
Google Maps kept changing my shared route—this simple trick keeps it on track
Google Maps is great for finding the quickest way from point A to point B. However, when I choose a specific route and share it with someone else, it sometimes sends them on a different path. I found a simple workaround that keeps shared journeys much closer to the route I originally chose.
Windows 11's hidden "End task" shortcut is the one feature every power user should enable
Most of us have had an app freeze at exactly the wrong moment. I used to open Task Manager, hunt through the list, and force it to close. Windows 11 has a much quicker option, though, and it takes seconds to enable.
This $35,000 used luxury SUV delivers a Mercedes-level interior for RAV4 money
Used EVs are becoming some of the best bargains on the market, with steep early depreciation putting vehicles that once cost close to $60,000 within reach for around the price of a new Toyota RAV4. This particular luxury SUV is a perfect example. At just three years old, well-cared-for models can be found for roughly $35,000, giving buyers access to a genuinely upsc
React State Management in 2026 — Context API vs Redux Toolkit vs Zustand vs Jotai (Same Cart, Real Code + Benchmarks)
The React state-management debate has produced more bad takes than any other frontend topic. "Just use Context." "Redux is dead." "Zustand for everything." "Jotai is the future." All four are partially right and partially dangerous, depending on what you're building.So instead of arguing, I built the same shopping cart — derived totals, async fetch, localStorage persistence, three subscribing components — in all four libraries, and benchmarked it. This is the condensed version; the full guide (a
The Mazda SUV that makes a BMW X5 look hard to justify
BMW's X5 has the badge, the reputation, and the luxury-car credentials, but you don't necessarily have to spend BMW money to get a family SUV that feels genuinely upscale. The Mazda CX-90 takes a different approach, pairing a premium-looking cabin with strong driving dynamics and the practicality of three rows.
This default Windows setting is making your SSD slower than it should be
SSDs are fast, but even they can be slowed down over time. If you live for speed and feel like your SSD starts to get just a little slower sometimes, especially near the end of a week, there is one setting you might want to check out called TRIM.
Show HN: CoFoundMe – I gamified finding collaborators for your project/startup
Hi guys I know ur time is valuable so I will keep this short. Ever since I was in uni I saw that its been difficult for people finding collaborators for your project/startup. Building something is easier than ever but finding collaborators has never been more difficult. so I interviewed 1083 users (yea i know thats a lot but i needed some validation hehe). Half of them did not hear about yc cofounder matching and other platforms and the ones who were using them still found it quite painful
Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like nothing matters anymore?
New software releases? Who cares. Learning new CS concepts? Whatever. Studying for the next interview? Job probably won't even exist in a year. Working on that side project? No one will care because it's just another addition to the mountain of slop, and the guy bagging your groceries can do it. Everything is done and cooked with AI now.It's exactly like that feeling once you enable cheats in a game; sure you can do anything, but everything is meaningless now. Our entire purpose a
