What's actually in it
- The Long Read. One practical deep-dive — usually 1,200 to 2,000 words on a single question worth getting right, like setting up backups that won't fail you or making an old laptop usable again.
- Three Notes. Short, opinionated, often a chart. A reader question, a number worth knowing, a piece I read this week.
- One Number. A single figure — how much standby power really costs a year, how long a mattress actually lasts, what a router restart fixes — with two paragraphs of context.
- No upsells. No "premium tier." No paid promos. If a piece references a product I use, it's labeled.
