HP Coupon Codes: 5% Off | June 2025

If you don't know where to start—and use—your HP coupon code, there’s a wide variety of options available at HP.com in terms of budget and use case, but my eye goes first to the high-end HP Omen gaming monitors, like the fantastic HP Omen Transcend 32. This 4K 240Hz monitor is a favorite among PC gamers, even among the huge amounts of OLED options out there. It can hit a peak brightness of over 1,000 nits in HDR, bringing scenes in games to life in vivid detail. Or if you’re on the other side o

Poppin Sticky Memo Ball Review: Color-Code in Style

If a messy desk is a sign of genius, I might be one of the smartest people out there. Everywhere I’ve worked, whether in an office or my own house, I’ve begun with the purest of intentions to keep my desk clean and clutter-free, only to weigh the time and energy cost of constantly putting things away just to pull them out again the next day. Spoiler alert: Most of the time, it isn’t worth it. One of the biggest, ahem, sticking points in my decluttering process is the sheer number of sticky note

Final Fantasy fans, now is the time to get into Magic: The Gathering

The set features cards taken from every mainline Final Fantasy title, including the two MMOs, so there’s something for every generation of Final Fantasy lovers. And while Magic has featured other video game crossovers in the past (hello, Assassin’s Creed and Fallout!), with the way this set is constructed, from card mechanics to art, you can tell this one is a developer favorite,

Cross-Compilation Toolchains for Linux

About This site provides a large number of ready-to-use cross-compilation toolchains, targetting the Linux operating system on a large number of architectures.

The bad boy of bar charts: William Playfair (2023)

A spy, a scoundrel, and a scholar William Playfair was all three. He led an extraordinary life at the heart of many of the great events of the 18th and 19th centuries, mostly in morally dubious roles. Among all the intrigue, scandal, and indebtedness, he found time to invent the bar and pie charts, and make pioneering use of line charts. As we'll see, he was quite a character. Playfair the scoundrel Playfair's lifetime (1759-1823) contained some momentous events: The development of the steam

TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) Deep Dive

I've been working with TPUs a lot recently and it's fun to see how they had such different design philosophies compared to GPUs. The main strongpoint for TPUs is in their scalability. This is achieved through a co-design of both the hardware side (e.g. energy efficiency and modularity) and the software side (e.g. XLA compiler). Background To give a brief tldr on TPUs, it's Google's ASIC that focuses on two factors: extreme matmul throughput + energy efficiency. Their origins go back to Googl

Tell HN: Beware confidentiality agreements that act as lifetime non competes

Just a note of warning from personal experience. Companies don’t really need non-competes anymore. Some companies take an extremely broad interpretation of IP confidentiality, where they consider doing any work in the industry during your lifetime an inevitable confidentiality violation. They argue it would be impossible for you to work elsewhere in this industry during your entire career without violating confidentiality with the technical and business instincts you bring to that domain. It do

Denmark's Archaeology Experiment Is Paying Off in Gold and Knowledge

Ole Ginnerup Schytz, an engineer in Denmark’s sleepy Vindelev agricultural area, had used a metal detector only a handful of times when he found a bent clump of metal in a friend’s barley field. He figured it was the lid from a container of tinned fish and tossed it in his junk bag with the other bits of farm trash that had set his metal detector beeping: rusty nails, screws, scrap iron. A few paces away he dug up another shiny circle. Someone had clearly enjoyed a lot of tinned fish here—into t

Russell Crowe Lends His Russell Crowe-ness to ‘Highlander’

After years of false starts, the next Highlander movie is finally coming from director Chad Stahelski and with Henry Cavill in the lead role. Cavill’s been the only casting we’ve known about for some time, but now we know his former movie dad, Russell Crowe, is along for the ride. Per Collider, Crowe will play a “key role” opposite Cavill, who’s still expected to be playing immortal warrior Connor MacLeod. As for Crowe, that’s a little tougher to determine; some outlets (like Deadline) have cla

Tesla Might Have a Fix for the Elon Musk Problem

Tesla is having a nightmarish year, and much of the damage can be traced directly to its CEO, Elon Musk. After spending nearly $290 million to help Donald Trump return to the White House, Musk took on a tailor-made role in the administration, heading the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). His push to slash federal agencies and cut social programs, combined with his embrace of controversial theories, sparked global protests outside Tesla showrooms. The company’s liberal customer bas

‘Magic: The Gathering’ Unveils Its First ‘Avatar: Last Airbender’ Card

The $50 Billion Company That Does Almost Nothing

Something strange is happening on Wall Street. It isn’t Elon Musk, AI, or a late-night post from Donald Trump. It’s a crypto company called Circle Internet Group, and it’s making the market feel like the glory days of the dot-com bubble are back. Circle went public on June 5. In just eleven trading sessions, its stock exploded by an almost unprecedented 675%, adding over $42 billion to its market cap.

European leaders worry they’re too reliant on U.S. tech

In Brief European governments may be reconsidering their use of American technology and services, according to a new report in The New York Times. The flashpoint seems to come after President Donald Trump sanctioned Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, over the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. In response, Microsoft turned off Khan’s email address. Casper Klynge, a
