If you’ve ever been locked out of your work computer, you know the urgent need to reach IT support. Unfortunately, helpdesk staff are often busy assisting others, which can mean a significant delay before you regain access. Andrei Serban realized the critical importance of IT’s manual work when he was a product lead on Rippling’s apps and integrations team. Serban, who joined Rippling after it acquired his coding security startup Fuzzbuzz in 2023, saw an opportunity to automate many of the help

While laptops are great for students heading off to college because they are portable enough to bring to class for taking notes and accessing course materials, some students may prefer a personal desktop. It's been a long time since I graduated from college, but if there's one thing I'm sure hasn't changed, it's dorms. Dorm rooms are short on space, so traditional desktops aren't an ideal choice. However, if you're looking for a solid desktop for school or as an update to your home computer set

Jack Wallen/ZDNET There are so many Linux distributions on the market, and they range from the command line only all the way to functioning works of art. The majority of distros fall somewhere in the middle, of course, and that's perfectly fine because most users prefer a blend of aesthetics and functionality. That's why the likes of Linux Mint, ZorinOS, elementaryOS, and Ubuntu are so popular. But every once in a while, a team releases an update to its distribution that reminds you that Linux

The desk height ranges from 25.5 to 51.1 inches, and the dual motors glide effortlessly up and down, and they're not too loud. You'll want to be careful when lowering it—there's collision detection, and it successfully stopped the desk from crushing a stool after I put it underneath, but it seems to depend on where the object under the desk is.

Randall Fung/Getty Images Even though Linux has always been free, I've paid for the OS in various ways over the years. I've seen distributions come and go, most of which were free, but some had an associated cost. In some cases, those costs were nothing more than a suggested donation, but in others, the only way to get a copy of the OS was to pay for it. You might be thinking, "Why would you pay for something that's free?" I've had my reasons, which I'll share with you. Let's see if there's o

I plug in one cable, and it all connects. It’s great! The FreeBSD desktop uses a regular DisplayPort cable to its discrete graphics card, because that’s all it has.
