It’s hard to know what sizes you need to keep a baby properly clothed. Maybe you’re a new parent who doesn’t know, well, anything; maybe you’ve had a bit of a gap since the last kid and you need a refresher. Or you’re a childless person who is about to go to a baby shower with half a dozen newborn-sized ball gowns.…

The first time I headed off to a dorm—it was summer camp, not college, but close enough—my parents gave me a giant tin of caramel popcorn to share and help me make friends. Sadly, I didn’t get many chances to open it: my roommate was allergic to corn.

From my informal survey of moms and dads, the worst part of school day mornings is packing school lunches. I’m not sure what makes it the most dreaded task—perhaps it’s the Groundhog Day nature of it all, or feeling like you’re a one-person inventory spreadsheet, or the inevitable complaints from little Hudson that he…

Picking a major might feel like choosing your entire life path. Or it might feel like a placeholder while you figure your shit out. We asked some of the most successful people we know, the past guests of Lifehacker’s How I Work column, what they majored in. They told us how their major affected their career—or if it…

It’s been forever since US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines required an annual pap smear, but I keep hearing from folks whose gynecologists only told them recently that they can skip a few years. Most of us only need screenings for cervical cancer every three to five years, and the pap smear is no longer the…

You may have seen the videos at some point during your Internet career: A college kid is standing in a normal-looking dorm room. The person hits a button. The lights dim, the shades close, and bam!, the entire room turns into a rave. They hit the button again, turning off “party mode” and returning their room to a…

Last week, Apple rolled back one of the key FaceTime features that was supposed to drop with iOS 12 and macOS Mojave this fall: group video chat. The feature, which would let you and up to 31 friends not-quite-make-eye-contact through their phones and laptops, was removed from the beta versions of each OS last week,…

I asked for your best advice on surviving a long flight and the ensuing jet lag. We covered downloading some podcasts (or TV shows/movies), bringing a book and remembering to get up and move every now and then. You’ll also want to stay hydrated, bring some snacks and remember to charge all of your electronics ahead of…

Blue cheese dressing is bigger than salad. Sure, it’s an integral part of a wedge salad, but it’s also the only wing dipper that matters, and it makes a sad veggie platter bearable. Store-bought is fine, but you can make truly bomb blue cheese dressing yourself with just three ingredients.

By now you’ve probably heard that Netflix has started showing trailers for its shows in between episodes of shows you’re binge-watching. So while you’re waiting for that next episode of “Orange is the New Black” to play, you might be subjected to an ad for “Fuller House.”

Sexting is one of those private matters that we don’t talk that explicitly about—perhaps because admitting we sext tips people off to the existence of digital nudes. Let’s unlock our phones and discuss textual stimulation out in the open.

Most smart home gadgets have similar benefits: set up automated tasks, then control them remotely with your phone, or activate them with your voice. The Kwikset Kevo can do all this, but it takes convenience to a whole new level by essentially reinventing the lock. You just walk up to it, touch it, and open your door.

Because America is a country that definitely has its priorities straight, public school teachers are spending an average of $479 per year of their own money on school supplies for their students, according to a report from the Education Department. Around 7% of teachers spend more than $1,000 per year.

Get a foot massage while you’re in Bangkok. Every week on Hack Your City, there’s one tip that gets repeated and repeated, and this week, it’s this: Get a foot massage every day. We got a great variety of tips this week, ranging far beyond the usual restaurant recommendations. Here are the highlights.

It’s a thrill to have a place of your very own. It can also be incredibly daunting, especially if the most you’ve ever thought about home decor was the time you taped fairy lights above your dorm room mirror. But you don’t need to turn into Chip and Joanna Gaines overnight. In this episode of Lifehacker’s Summer of…
