One of the best ways to judge the quality of a product is simply how long it lasts. There are tons of products that come across my desk that, for one reason or another, don’t last more than a month of use. It could be poorly built, too cheap, not suit my aesthetic, or for any other reason.

So when I noticed that I had been using my Nomos charging station for about a…

Andrei_Popov/Shutterstock The luster of Google’s free apps and services has waned after years of lawsuits that culminated in a major loss for the Justice Department that found the company was effectively an illegal monopoly in several key areas, such as search and online advertising. Add to that the degradation of services like YouTube and Maps, and it’s easy to see why removing Google from our lives is a pretty hot trend right now. If you’re considering de-Googling yourself, there are a few sticking points that make this difficult. Google Calendar,…

Connect Your AI Coding Agents to Gmail, Drive, and Calendar If you’ve been using Claude Code or OpenAI Codex to write and run code, you’ve probably hit the same wall: the agents are good at reasoning and writing, but they’re isolated from the tools your work actually lives in. They can’t check your inbox, create a calendar event, or pull a spec doc from Drive without you copying and pasting everything manually. The Google Workspace MCP server changes that. It gives your AI coding agents direct, authorized access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Sheets, and Chat —…

Talking about hard drives in 2026 may seem a bit strange, but not everyone is using an all-SSD PC yet. Spinning drives were long ago abandoned by SSDs, at least for primary storage, but they remain very valuable for secondary and NAS storage. In fact, buying HDDs rather than SSDs in this market might be the smarter decision, given the exorbitant prices of SSDs. If your PC has one or more hard drives that run 24/7, you may be stressing them more than necessary. Hard drives don’t need to run at their maximum speed all the time and can slow…
