WinDirStat is one of those tried and tested tools that's been part of the open-source software community. If you aren't familiar, its name is an abbreviation of Windows Directory Statistics. It's a disk usage analyzer that visually depicts which files demand the most space on your drive. If you're looking to clear out space, it's a phenomenal tool for identifying storage hogs you might not otherwise notice. That said, there's a similar tool that's made waves in recent years. WizTree is similar to WinDirStat in that it also analyzes your disk usage, but it operates in a fundamentally different way. It also has one key advantage over WinDirStat: it's insanely fast, completing its scan in a fraction of the time.

Most design tools are primarily great for visual execution, but not so much for planning your designs. I’ve bounced between so many design apps since I’ve been on the internet, and I truly love giving as many as I can a proper shot. Most deliver on their promises to an extent - but almost none of them handle the brainstorming part.

PC building isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Even when you get GPUs at MSRP and a DDR5 RAM kit under $100, you still need to put up with certain annoyances that are part and parcel of PC building. Perhaps the most inescapable of these is cable management, something all of us grudgingly go through at the end of every build. While it's not exactly hard, cable management becomes a problem when it becomes an obsession. Achieving that Instagram-worthy look isn't really helpful to the performance of your PC — all you're doing is distracting yourself from actually using your PC.

If your Raspberry Pi 3B or an even older model is sitting idle in a drawer, it still has plenty of life left. These boards may not have the power of the Pi 5, but they’re still capable of handling smart, efficient, and surprisingly fun projects. With the right setup, an older Pi can take on tasks that save energy, automate parts of your home, or even entertain you in unexpected ways.

If you're building out a new media server or just considering the rising costs of a Plex subscription, you might be wondering if it's time to switch to Jellyfin. Both do a brilliant job of organizing your movies, shows, and even music. But once you start using both, you might notice that both apps have their pros and cons. So, while you're still trying to make up your mind, you might consider using both apps for a bit. But that's got a problem too. Being two segregated apps, watch progress doesn't sync between them, and that's bound to make running an A/B test between the two apps more complicated than you'd want. Your Jellyfin session thinks you're halfway through a movie while Plex believes you haven't even started watching it. But there's a solution to that problem.

Who says chargers have to look boring? They may only be an accessory, but that's no reason to settle for dull designs. Fortunately, UGreen seems to understand this. Alongside its more traditional charging products, it has released a USB-C charger that also looks like a cute little robot. And the best bit is, if you want a little fellow for yourself (and why wouldn't you), you can grab your own for just $18 on Amazon in this pre-Black Friday sale.
