I've covered a lot of Raspberry Pi projects in my time, but my favorite ones have to be the devices that involve pets in some way. People have gotten really inventive with how they use technology to fix their pets' annoying habits, and there are endless projects ranging from fitness trainers to diet enforcers.

Raspberry Pis may look inconspicuous, but they can be really powerful security tools. We've seen them as pen testers, and we've also seen them use cameras to keep an eye on physical things. The best part is that, because you make the security tool with your own hands, you know exactly what is and isn't lurking within the code. No more trusting a third party to keep your data safe.

Have you ever wondered what your old video games would look like if they were in 3D? Sure, we have remasters of classic games, but what about taking the same sprites and game logic of the original game and adding a 3D plane to it?

I've been saving webpages offline ever since I started reading blogs. From setting up RSS feeds to read articles from multiple sources to using Pocket to save links I want to read later, I've done it all. This is exactly why I was quite bummed when Mozilla announced that it was shutting down Pocket. Sure, I found other alternatives like Karakeep to save my links and perform a lot more tasks, but it took away from the familiarity of using an app I was comfortable with for years. This also made me wonder if most people feel the same about new apps. So, I decided to look for ways to save webpages for widely used apps. Thankfully, it didn't take me long to find a handy browser extension that does this.

Bond. James Bond. The man who introduces himself 1.5 times is more than just a cinematic icon. Bond is a symbol of class, chaos, charm, and carnage — shaken, not stirred. Not only has the globally-recognized figure through generations evolved on cinema screens, but also on our consoles, adapting to the times and the technological progress that comes with it.

Home Assistant is one of the best ways to automate your smart home, and the Open Home Foundation that owns and governs its development is always pushing new updates and improvements. Alongside Home Assistant are a couple of other add-ons also managed by the OHF, and one such add-on is Piper. It's a local text-to-speech engine, capable of using any compatible model (such as GLaDOS) to synthesize speech for use with a local voice assistant. Now, it's just received a huge update which will make using it with a local large language model (LLM) a significantly better experience.
