Debalina Ghosh/Getty Images After nearly two years of traveling around the world, I've learned a few travel hacks. One of my favorite ways to save money when overseas? Using an eSIM. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of an eSIM, it's a digital SIM installed on your phone that lets you access a mobile network without a physical SIM card. Using an eSIM for all my mobile data abroad means I don't have to worry about expensive roaming charges from my US mobile provider or buying a physical SIM

Yes, Starlink Is Now Much Cheaper: Here's the Catch

If you live in a rural or remote area, you likely already know how difficult it is to get a good internet connection. Most rural internet providers are devastatingly slow and typically expensive. Starlink's standard plan has become a lifesaver for those without decent rural internet options, but the hefty up-front cost of equipment, $349, and the monthly rate of $120 make Starlink an unaffordable option for many families in rural areas. Now, if you've been looking for a chance to try Starlink,

Leaked prototype reveals M1 iMac almost had an Apple logo on its chin

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-09-18 10:55:57

When Apple introduced the colorful, ultra-thin M1 iMac in 2021, many were surprised by one notable omission: the lack of an Apple logo on its prominent chin. Now, a leaked prototype suggests this was indeed something Apple took into consideration during development… The current-generation iMac features a 24-inch display in an ultra-thin form factor with white bezels around that display. It’s available in a wide range of colors, unlike most Apple products. One of the hallmarks of the iMac design

Nothing Phone 3 doesn’t win on value, but it won me over anyway

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority The Nothing Phone 3 is quirky and weird. It has riled up the Nothing lovers and haters alike. Social media forums indicate that a lot of people don’t like that camera layout, price, or have polarizing views on the Glyph Matrix. I might be on the less popular end for both.

I’ve had the first volume of Richard Nixon’s memoirs on my shelf since high school. I got them because of a childhood inside joke, and only recently got around to reading them. The volume ends with Nixon’s first term, though there are portentous intimations, occasionally, of what came after. I’ll start with rolling narrative observations, then a grab bag of details that I found fun, then my favorite excerpt to close out.
