10 ways an IT home lab can help you land your next job - and how to get started (it's easy!)

zdnet.com David Gewirtz 2025-08-12 22:52:00

EschCollection/Getty Images When I was a kid, my home lab consisted of test tubes and beakers, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), acetic acid (vinegar), and the occasional boom, followed closely by the sound of my mom in the distance yelling, "David Allen Gewirtz, you stop that right now." When the scold transitioned from "David Gewirtz" to "David Allen Gewirtz," I knew I was in trouble. To be fair, nothing prepared my nontechnical mom and dad to raise a future engineer.

We're big fans of Dyson around here, whether it's for vacuums or for hair tools. We've tried every single one of Dyson's powerful vacuums, and the V15 and its variants are our overall favorites for a ton of reasons: powerful suction! Particle tracking! A handy green light to spot dust! Lots of attachments! The V15 has a trigger button so you can easily turn the vacuum on and off, which is especially handy when vacuuming things like stairs.

This magnetic USB-C accessory is the best $12 I've ever spent on Amazon

ZDNET's key takeaways The magnetic USB-C connector now supports a 180-degree swivel, and it's only $12 at Amazon. It can pump out as much as 240W of power.

Oh No, ‘Big Bang Theory’ Is Returning to Literally Destroy the Universe

You’d think io9—a site run by nerds—would enjoy a sitcom featuring a cast of nerd characters. Like, say, The Big Bang Theory, which ran on CBS for 12 seasons. But you’d be wrong: we loathed the show, especially for its often wrong-headed approach to geeky interests (remember how dirty it did Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples’ wonderful comic Saga?), and we cheered when it finally wrapped up in 2019. But The Big Bang Theory obviously had a crap-ton of fans; you don’t get to 12 seasons and two sp
