SUM is for beginners — Excel pros use this instead (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve probably used SUM a thousand times. Everyone has. SUM is fine for school assignments and tiny tables, but in the real world, it’s a blunt instrument. If you want totals you can actually trust, there’s a better way—one that I wish I'd found years (and headaches) ago. SUM adds everything, visible or not. That’s its job. But what about when you filter your data or hide some rows? SUM happily includes all those hidden numbers. As a result, it inflates your total and quietly sabotages your rep
A portable monitor was the best upgrade I made to my Proxmox homelab (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been having a lot of fun with Promox, and finally decided to take the plunge, transforming my existing gaming PC into a home server. It’s been a wild ride, but I’ve always felt that something was missing whenever I tried looking out to the other side of the room.

Finally, I have great Wi-Fi throughout the entire house with zero disconnects (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your house should be the one place where you just don’t have to worry about internet, Wi-Fi, and whatever else. It should be stable and just... seamless. It wasn’t the case with mine. There’s something especially annoying about having a weak Wi-Fi connection when you know there’s an access point nearby. It’s right there. It’s connected. It’s broadcasting the same network. Please use it. My phone, however, was still talking to the one on another floor. I’d already put access points around the hou
I ran Proxmox for a week, and it changed how I use my server PC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Making your very first home server can be a bit of a process, but it’s something that (should hopefully) pay off in the long run. It also makes for a rather fun project. After building a budget AM4-based home server, it was finally time to settle on an operating system. Since this was primarily going to be used as a homelab, I decided to try out one of the many popular choices out there — Proxmox. Proxmox also happens to be very good at virtualization, which is something I wanted to try out as w
AMD’s latest graphics cards make no sense until you compare price per frame (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AMD’s RDNA 4 lineup is... quite diverse, to say the least, and in a very confusing way. There’s way too much overlap, and the options on offer here seem confusing, at best. Cards like the RX 9050 and 9070 GRE, for example, are clear outliers that cater to niche use cases, making them hard to classify.
