Stop Buying New Laptops Right Now — The Used Market Is Just Better (Especially in 2026)
I wasn’t planning to buy another laptop this year — until I found a $540 Dell Precision with a Xeon processor and pro-grade GPU. After using it, I’m convinced most people are overpaying for new laptops in 2026.

Playing Minecraft in 2026 Feels Weirdly Better Than Ever
Growing up with Minecraft and returning to it in 2026 feels surprisingly meaningful. As I build a new server and share the game with my 3-year-old son, I’m enjoying Minecraft more than ever.

Snap’s AI Layoffs Hit Hard — And It’s a Bad Reminder How Few Social Media Options We Really Have
Snap’s latest layoffs are a tough reminder that even one of social media’s few truly different platforms is still struggling to turn relevance into real profit. As Snap cuts jobs, leans harder into AI, and chases profitability, it raises a bigger question: how many real social media options do we actually have left?
Linux
Do I Miss Using Linux? Yeah… More Than I Expected
I’ve spent years bouncing between Mac, Windows, and Linux, but this year Linux finally did something it had never really done before: it clicked. After months of daily use on the right hardware, I found myself genuinely missing its simplicity, speed, and freedom, even after going back to macOS.

UFOInform.us Is Here — A New Sister Site, Not a Detour

The MacBook Neo Has Won Me Over, but This USB Audio Bug Needs Apple’s Attention
I’ve loved using the MacBook Neo so far, but one issue keeps getting in the way: popping and clicking sounds over USB audio, especially under heavier load. I’m convinced this is a software problem Apple can fix, but it’s still worth calling out before it pushes more users to return an otherwise great laptop.
Windows
Windows 11 Feels Like Too Much, and a Windows 12 AI Pile-On Could Push More People Out the Door
Between AI overload, feature bloat, and a growing sense that Windows no longer feels like your computer, more users are looking elsewhere. And with cheaper Macs and better Linux options, Microsoft may be pushing people out faster than it realizes.

MacBook Neo 4-Day Update, This Is So Much More Than a Cheap Mac
Four days into using the MacBook Neo, I’m more convinced than ever that a lot of people judged this laptop without understanding it. The A18 Pro is far more capable than expected, the 8GB of RAM has held up surprisingly well, and in real use, this feels like a serious computer, not some cheap Chromebook-style compromise.
