I turned off 4 phone camera features and finally stopped getting blurry photos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people assume blurry photos come from moving too fast or not holding the phone steady enough, so they try to fix it by slowing down and bracing harder. That sometimes works, but it misses the actual cause of not taking good photographs. A lot of the blur isn't coming from you at all. It's coming from features your phone turned on by default, running constantly in the background. You can turn them off for a much better picture. These add milliseconds in some cases, but put together, they add
I removed GNOME and my laptop battery lasted 40 minutes longer — this is what I replaced it with (opens the original)

I run my own Trello now, and nobody can paywall my boards (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most project management tools started as genuinely useful products and quietly turned into something else.

Read excerpt
Most battery tips you find online are either obvious or make you feel like you're babysitting your phone. What does make a difference is changing a handful of settings that most people never touch because they don't know why they matter. I've run the same setup on every phone I've owned for years, and the gap between my battery and my wife's on the same device is hard to argue with.

Ethernet cables have two types and only one is worth running through your walls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Running Ethernet through walls isn’t like replacing a USB cable or swapping a patch lead under your desk. Once the cable disappears behind drywall, changing it later means fishing a new line through studs, ceilings, or conduit all over again. DIY installers typically spend time comparing Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a before buying, assuming that’s the decision that matters most. But there’s another specification most folks rarely think to check before pulling an Ethernet cable through their walls: whet
