Previously, Elijah and Linus deliberated on whether to run Cat5e or Cat6a in the Tech House. It ultimately ended up in letting all of YOU choose what we should run, and you have chosen to make our hosts fingers go through much pain by having to run MANY a Cat6a throughout the house.

A sub-$300 gaming PC might seem completely unrealistic in 2026, but the BC-250 changes the equation. Repurposing this former crypto mining card, which shares its core silicon with the PS5, takes just a few hours of work. The result? A remarkably capable PC built for solid 1080p and even 1440p gaming.

Is your smart TV watching you right back? With the massive amount of encrypted traffic flying off modern displays, hiding telemetry is child’s play, and simply ‘opting-out’ feels pretty naive. So what can you do if you don’t want to be watched?
