If you spend any time living or working on the internet you know how many passwords you rack up. Password managers help you house your passwords in a secure location, making them easy to find when you need them.

Some of the best Father’s Day gifts I’ve ever received have been made by my children. From homemade drawings to a jewelry box my daughter made in woodworking class, there’s no end to the joy a homemade gift gives me.  It’s now even easier to make cool gifts with the advent of at-home 3D printers, laser engravers and T-shirt makers …

Most likely, though, a beginner will buy it, spend too long trying to get one good print, then give …

Prusa Research has been a leader in 3D printing for the last 10 years and only recently released its first resin printer, the SL1. While the SL1 was a decent machine, it didn’t wow me, as it had no big selling point compared to other, more budget-friendly choices on the market. The new SL1S, however, has something no other resin …
