Running is an exercise well-suited for the lazy. Unlike group classes or club sports teams, which require commitment and planning ahead to reserve (and often pay for) your spot, all you need in order to go for a jog is a body, a pair of running shoes and a path ahead. And yet, despite the low barrier-to-entry that is…

There are so many Windows apps out there, that picking a list of the very best, most must-install software for your desktop or laptop feels daunting. We’ve pored over pages of recommendations, countless forum posts, and lots of comments to come up with this year’s Lifehacker Pack for Windows, a list of software…

Windows: It’s been a long, long time since we talked about the Windows app Sizer, recently rewritten to be more compatible with Windows 10 apps.

We’re a couple days late to the Fringe Festival, but there’s still time! This week on Hack Your City, we want to hear what’s good in Edinburgh, now and throughout the year. (We were going to do this whole post in that spelled-out Scottish dialect that’s so popular in memes, but then we decided we cannae keep it up, so…

Am I going to recommend you watch The Ponysitters Club? It depends on how desperate you are to stay inside this week, because things are not looking so great on the Netflix docket.
