Have you seen the term "homelab" but weren't exactly sure what it is? Well, it has a fairly broad definition, but in its simplest terms, it's just a place where you play with computers, servers, and networking equipment. Here's everything a homelab involves, and how you get started with your own.

Are you shopping for your first NAS? I made a lot of mistakes when I bought my first networked storage system, and I still regret some of the decisions to this day. Here are five ways I messed up, and how you can avoid making the same mistakes I did.

Printing in "4D" might sound like something cooked up for a sci-fi novel, but it's actually a real object printing technique that builds on what's already possible with current 3D printers in mind-bending ways.

I've been building PCs for almost two decades, and I've yet to use an AIO liquid CPU cooler in any of my builds. The thing is, I won't, ever. Here's why.
