Attention, Lifehacker readers: we want to hear about your worst boss. You know the one: the blowhard who talked over you at every meeting; the unhinged lunatic who expected you to answer emergency texts at 3 am; the so-called “genius” who couldn’t help but scream at everyone because she was just so darn passionate. Or…

When I was a kid, I knew kids who could walk on their hands. I figured it was the kind of thing almost anybody can do if they bother to try to learn, like cartwheels or riding a bike. I couldn’t, but, well, I just didn’t want to. I’d practice someday and then I’d be a master of walking on my hands.

There are lots of services you can use to host your files in the cloud. Dropbox is one solid option, even though it doesn’t give you a lot of storage to play with if you aren’t paying its monthly fee. Still, it’s an incredibly convenient way to access a shared pool of files across your computers and devices. Even if…

If you’re looking for a flight (say, for your next long-distance trip), you’ll want to know the ins-and-outs of the airline’s cancellation policy should you need to change or cancel after you’ve purchased your ticket.

The classic, tomato-based caprese salad is without flaw, but creamy cheese, vibrant basil, and a drizzle of oil and vinegar get along swimmingly with many other fruits, particularly fruits of the stone variety.

After having kids, Nick Firchau says he spent his days wondering what the hell he was doing. He needed some guidance, but found that parenting wasn’t a topic that men commonly discussed. So the veteran sports journalist decided to launch the kind of “dad podcast” that he wished he could hear. In Paternal, Firchau has…

The only kitchen appliance I’ve ever regretted buying is an ice cream maker. It was the kind with a freezable vessel that spins, allegedly churning your creations to perfection, and I spent fifty American dollars on it. Sure, technically, it “worked,” but at one point I left the bowl in my freezer for an entire week…

iOS: For reasons ranging from risqué to super-spy, you might occasionally want to send a secret image to somebody. While there are plenty of apps you can use to send disappearing images, Cammeleon is a cool little iOS app that lets you hide images within images.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from giving my friends tech-buying advice for the last decade, it’s that not everyone wants to pay the premium for an Apple product—especially the laptops. The company’s svelte aluminum tech is indeed capable, but the starting price for a MacBook Air is still too much for the average…

The Aqua GUI in Apple’s operating systems has undergone a remarkable evolution since March of 2000, when it found its way into OS X 10.0, and you might be surprised at just how different everything looks now. Thanks to the newly launched Aqua Screenshot Library, you can revisit every version of OS X (and macOS)…

You get a two-for-one deal this week, because we’re looking for travel tips for Minnesota’s twin cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul. I’ve never been, but I noticed that nine out of 11 articles on one local magazine’s website are about the ridiculous things you can eat at the state fair this week, so I think I’m in love…

If you have a few years of very low earnings, is it possible to increase your Social Security payments once you’ve already started taking them? That’s what we’re discussing this week.

I don’t know why they don’t teach things like basic toilet plunging in school—years ago, it would have saved me from horror film-like screams, and a teary phone call with my dad and an afternoon of disinfection.

If you haven’t watched season 1 of Ozark, the Southern Gothic thriller starring Jason Bateman as a crooked-but-well-intentioned dad who moves his family to Missouri to launder cash for a Mexican cartel, then you have a few days to mainline it before season 2 drops on Friday, Aug. 31. It’s good! The entire show looks…

We all know that waking up to an alarm clock is pretty much the worst way possible to get up in the morning, although arguably the most efficient.

If you or your child happens to be in a classroom this year that goes through markers (read: a classroom of any kind), then Crayola has an interesting proposition for you: It will recycle all those old markers for you, even if they weren’t made by Crayola.

I’m a huge fan of taking walking tours when I travel. Walking tours are a great way to see a city, and if you opt for a food tour you get to sample some of the local cuisine, take in the sights, and get a little exercise in the process. It’s a great combo. That is unless you decided to wear the wrong shoes.
