I don’t know about you, but the main reason why I wear a smartwatch is for notifications. It allows me to pull out my phone less often, which is always a good thing. On my Pixel Watch, though, there was one setting that made the experience more cumbersome than it could be.
August is kind of the year's runt of the litter when it comes to streaming—it's often a slow stretch between summer tentpoles and the wave of new and exciting programming coming in the fall. But it appears that August 2026's documentaries didn't get the memo. Over the past four weeks, HBO Max, Netflix, Paramount+, and Hulu each came to the table with some compelling
<p>Your internet router has a very specific job, and it's perfectly reasonable to assume that all it's doing is that job and nothing else. The reality, however, is never that simple.</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2026/08/front-view-of-amazon-eero-wi-fi-router.jpg' />

Google is rolling out its Android feature drop for September, and it will be ideal if you need help in a store or just get queasy on a road trip. The release notably adds a Motion Assist feature that, like the iPhone's longstanding Vehicle Motion Cues.
There are some things I do in Windows so often that I can't believe they don't have keyboard shortcuts. After clicking through the same menus over and over every day, I decided to stop waiting for Microsoft and use AutoHotkey to make my own.
Android Auto is a great tool to have when driving because it provides an easy and accessible way to use your phone more safely while the car is moving. If your car supports it, there are several ways to connect your phone to Android Auto—especially wirelessly.
If you wanted to run Linux and Windows on the same machine, it could be a pain. You either had to set up a dual-boot machine or install a virtual machine. On modern Windows machines, Linux is an app like any other. Here's why that matters.
Having a phone with enough storage space is essential, and even though base models now come with more than ever, running out of space is still a common problem. Thanks to powerful cameras for photos and video, large modern apps, and more, your storage will slowly disappear. Even worse, part of the problem isn't your fault.
For those who have recently (Summer 2026) gone through software engineering job interviews, have you noticed any changes in the interview process?Is it still the usual Leetcode, system design, behavioral and leadership questions, and maybe technology specific questions (e.g., Spring for Java devs, borrow checker details for Rust devs, etc.)?Or have you noticed something completely different because of the AI agentic era, with companies taking a fundamentally different approach to interviewing en
I had a Raspberry Pi 5 lying around and I was not doing much with it. Then Proxmox VE recently announced ARM64 support on 5th of August and that immediately made me think about my Raspberry Pi. Proxmox now provides Proxmox VE for 64-bit ARM platforms, although the Raspberry Pi devices are not officially supported because of their boot and hardware-description archit
Linus Torvalds, who you might know for being the mastermind behind Linux, has spent years publicly frustrated that error-correcting memory isn't standard in consumer PCs. If you've never heard of ECC RAM, here's what it does, why the Linux creator cares so much, and why your next PC probably won't have it anyway.
Windows doesn't make it easy to see what your installed apps are quietly sending out over the internet. Portmaster, a free and open-source tool, changes that by showing every outbound connection an app makes and giving you the power to block it.
Google Maps is one of those apps I use almost every time I leave the house, yet I keep finding things I didn't know it could do. After years of using it for directions, I've become much more interested in the little features that make navigating and planning a trip less frustrating. Here are the five I've found most useful.

“A majority of studio projects do not get made. Is it considered a strike against a writer if their project dies on the vine? Not necessarily. Everyone knows it’s damn hard to get a movie produced. That’s the baseline of assessment.”In Part 1, I describe how my writing partner and I met with Rodney Dangerfield’s ‘people’ and I came up with a high concept idea for a movie: Rodney Dangerfield: Mr. President.In Part 2, I write about how we work up a

Hi HN, we’re Brandon and Kingston, the founders of Hebbian Robotics. We built HFlow (https://github.com/Hebbian-Robotics/hflow), an SDK that turns multimodal recordings from robots and human operators into standardized, quality-checked episodes and queryable dataset manifests. A recording can contain synchronized video, joint states, actions, timestamps, and metadata, and HFlow processes those streams together.Here’s a demo of HFlow in action: https://www.youtube.co
