What’s Your Favorite YouTube Channel?

If you’re going deep into Linux, you’ll need to change some files. Long-time players like Vim and Emacs have a good reputation, if not the most user-friendly. So which of the Linux script editors are you using to edit your configuration files?

These days, you can do all kinds of things on your phone. You can control your smart home, unlock car doors, or pay for goods without carrying a physical wallet. Wallets like Apple Pay, Google Wallet (formerly Pay), and Samsung Pay are easy — as long as they’re accepted where you shop. Clicking to pay is very secure, which is important. This begs the question: How often do you use Apple or Google Pay?

If your habits are as bad as mine, the first thing you do in the morning is check your phone and make coffee or tea. I wake up, quickly stop the alarm clock ringing on my phone, then start deleting any notifications or browsing social media. Old habits die hard. So, what app do you open every morning? Do you check the weather, turn on TikTok or Instagram, spread Twitter, answer work emails, or something else?

Few things are related to the availability and longevity of email. It’s one of the niceties of the “information superhighway,” and as a result, some people are still using the same email they set up in the 90s or early 2000s. So, dear reader, how old is your email? And have you ever lost an email address for reasons beyond your control?

Most Android phones these days come with Google Messages by default, although there are many other messaging apps out there. I’m talking about Textra, Samsung Messages, WhatsApp, and more. Recently, Samsung announced that the Flip 6, Fold 6, and other upcoming Samsung phones will ship with Google Messages in its options. This is probably planning for RCS support on the platform by Apple. So, which Android messaging app is your favorite, and why?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down anytime soon. We have AI-powered GPT chatbots, text, images, and video production using AI, Midjourney, Hugging face, Grok, several versions of Gemini from Google, “Apple Intelligence” coming to iOS devices, Copilot, and more. Every great sign leans into it, good or bad. Google mentioned AI or Gemini so many times during its Pixel 9 launch that I didn’t read it. To be honest, I’m tired of hearing about endless AI features without actually looking at them. What about you—are you sick of hearing the word AI yet?
