How I started my own LinkedIn newsletter for free - in 5 easy steps

David Gewirtz / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET It's been almost exactly two years since I launched my weekly Advanced Geekery email newsletter on Substack. Each week, I list my latest ZDNET articles, showcase any new videos I put out, sometimes spotlight projects I'm working on (and those of readers), and share a few great YouTube videos and articles worth reading.

I Solved the Century-Old Mystery of a Miraculous Shipwreck Survivor

I t’s the morning of August 22, 2019, and I’m in a Zodiac bouncing along the waters of the St. Lawrence River. It can hold six divers and all their gear, but this morning, there are only six of us—no gear. Far from being divers, we are curiosity seekers from New York, Vancouver, London, and Montreal, all obsessed with the sinking of the Empress of Ireland, which claimed 1,014 lives in 1914. Until a few years ago, I had never heard of the Empress and its disastrous end. And that’s staggering, be

ZDNET Welcome to Hot Bitcoin Summer, 2025 Edition. It's July 14, and the cryptocurrency is on fire. Turns out that when the President of the United States is bullish on a fake currency, it takes off. Then, when the US Congress declares "crypto week," cybercurrency speculators get that warm, squishy feeling that makes them think good things are about to happen in their imaginary world of bits as bucks. Also: How AI can help you manage your finances (and what to watch out for) In honor of all

I invested $50 in Bitcoin in 2022 - here's what it's worth now after a record rally

ZDNET Welcome to Hot Bitcoin Summer, 2025 Edition. It's July 14, and Bitcoin is on fire. Turns out that when the President of the United States is bullish on a fake currency, it takes off. Then, when the US Congress declares "crypto week," cybercurrency speculators get that warm, squishy feeling that makes them think good things are about to happen in their imaginary world of bits as bucks. In honor of all of this and because my eyes popped when I checked my own investments this morning, I'm

The Download: China’s winning at advanced manufacturing, and a potential TikTok sale

In 2013, a trio of academics showed convincing evidence that increased trade with China beginning in the early 2000s and the resulting flood of cheap imports had been an unmitigated disaster for many US communities, destroying their manufacturing lifeblood. The results of what they called the “China shock” were gut-wrenching: the loss of 1 million US manufacturing jobs and 2.4 million jobs in total by 2011. If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Auto

Hell Yeah, ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II’ is Happening

After repeated teases over the past year, Studio Trigger revealed it’s making a sequel to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, its hit 2022 anime based on Cyberpunk 2077.

I'm Done With Citronella. This $35 Device Keeps Mosquitos at Bay Without the Odor

Longer, hotter summers means a longer mosquito season. If June's heat waves are any indication of what's to come, you better have a plan for bugs. I was winging it with fickle citronella and stinky bug spray until I discovered the Thermacell -- an affordable bug repellent diffuser that has kept my evenings almost completely bite-free since I started using it. The Thermacell works better than any mosquito repellant I've tried. David Watsky/CNET Massachusetts-based Thermacell makes a line of dev

The All-In Podcast’s $1,200 tequila has already sold out

In Brief The VCs, pod bros, and self-proclaimed “besties” of the All-In Podcast launched their own tequila brand Saturday night and it promptly sold out, according to liquor ecommerce sites. Their version of the Mexican spirit cost a jaw-dropping $1,200 apiece but only 750 bottles were made. The stacked poker-chip container was inspired by the “besties” love of the card game. The All-In Podcast is one of the most popular shows by venture investors who have turned to politics. The besties cons

This hidden Chrome feature is my secret productivity trick - here's my favorite way to use it

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET You may have noticed an odd little button that sometimes appears in your Chrome browser bar labeled "Google Lens." It's actually been there for a number of years now, although it doesn't always show up. But have you ever used it? Have you even given it a second thought? Or has it just become one more piece of digital clutter your brain edits out? We've covered Google Lens before on ZDNET. We've done so a number of times, in fact. But we've always covered it as a fe
