Is a refurbished MacBook worth it? I did the math, and here's my buying advice

zdnet.com Kyle Kucharski 2025-12-08 20:31:00

Kyle Kucharski/ZDNET I remember when people used to scoff at refurbished tech. Buying a used phone or computer was like rolling the dice: you never knew exactly what you were getting. Well, the times certainly have changed. And, in this economy, the prices on refurbished tech are looking more and more tempting. Consumers are challenging this idea that we're all supposed to buy brand new phones and laptops every few years, and in the process, the market for refurbished tech has blown up. Also:

macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta 5 is out, here’s what’s new

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-09 00:10:00

Apple just released a fresh batch of developer betas, including the latest test build of macOS 26 Tahoe. Here are the details. When Apple rolled out macOS Tahoe 26 developer beta 4, it didn’t introduce new features or big changes, unlike beta 3, which introduced a new screensaver, improvements to tab visibility in apps like Safari and Terminal, and a dialing back of the Liquid Glass transparency effect. The build number for macOS Tahoe 26 beta 5 release is 25A5327h. We’re taking a closer loo

Deterministic Simulation Testing in Rust: A Theater of State Machines

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-06 10:36:58

It's been just a year since we wrote about how we implemented deterministic simulation testing (DST) of our Go database (FrostDB). Since then, we have been hard at work writing our new database backed by object storage in Rust (read more here about why). In this blog post, I want to lay out the approach we took to build our new Rust database with DST principles front-and-center and how it compares to the approach we took with FrostDB.

Yes, you need a firewall on Linux - here's why and which to use

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-12 05:18:36

JuSun/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways Linux is highly secure, but you should still have a firewall. You should know if your ISP's hardware (gateway) uses a firewall. One of the easiest Linux firewalls is UFW and its GUI sidekick, GUFW. I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years. Over those years, I've experienced only one security issue (a rootkit on a server I inherited). The reason for that is Linux's heightened security. Out of the box, it includes a tight permissions system and security mech

This dock transforms the Mac mini into a retro classic Mac

It’s becoming increasingly rare to find a tech accessory in 2025 that’s both functional and fun to use. As so many of these accessories become more commoditized, they begin to function and look the same, making them fade into the background. So when I saw the Wokyis Retro Docking Station for the M4 Mac mini, I was immediately intrigued. It transforms the Mac mini into something straight out of 1984. On paper, it had all the functions I needed out of a dock, but it was also such a cool-looking pr
