How to install Steam on Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi boards may not be built for heavy gaming, but that doesn't mean you can't run Steam games on these tiny computers
From a small-sized NAS to an all-in-one media server, the Raspberry Pi is a versatile device that can be customized for pretty much any project imaginable. Heck, the newer boards pack enough firepower to emulate games developed for older consoles, and you even get to choose between Recalbox, Retro-Pie, and several other emulator-centric distros.
Perhaps those who use light mode are right; us dark mode enjoyers can be a bit overzealous. Whenever a website or an app doesn't have a native dark mode built into it, we're sent scurrying on the hunt for a plugin or an extension to change that. And while there are plenty of good browser plugins out there that give us what we want, nothing beats a native dark theme. Now, Google Drive will be a little easier on the eyes, as the website is getting its own muted theme.

Boox Palma review: Palm-sized e-reader with Android is a joy to use
The Boox Palma is a phone-shaped e-reader that fits in the palm easily and runs full Android with app support
Last year I tested an Android tablet from Boox with an e-ink screen (plus an excellent keyboard folio case and stylus) that proved to be a fun little machine for reading, sketching and typing, but I thought its $599 price made it a tough sell. That same Shenzhen-based company is back with a less ambitious e-ink device that is much smaller and more affordable. While it no longer has that great keyboard or stylus support, the Boox Palma is a more practical reading device, but the price is still perhaps too high.

I used Google Gemini's new prompt refining feature and here's how it worked
A surprisingly good tool for any AI enthusiast.
Recently, Google added an interesting new feature to Gemini. This tool lets you sculpt the chatbot's responses to better suit your needs. This includes regenerating a piece of text, adding more context, cutting down on words, rewriting sections, or getting rid of entire sections. This not only allows you to refine any text you generated that you intend to copy-paste (i.e. generating a cover letter), but it's also great for asking Gemini to extrapolate on parts you want to learn more about (i.e. asking it how a phishing attack works exactly). As such, I gave the tool a test run to see how each part fares.
