My husband and I like having the captions on while we’re watching a TV show so we can keep the volume down without missing any dialogue. Because of that, the captions are almost always on when my son takes over the TV—a fact that frustrated him for years.

Have you ever picked a song on your phone using Spotify and found yourself looking at a 5-10 second looping video? That’s a “Canvas,” a new type of complimentary content Spotify added last year, similar to Genius’ “Behind the Lyrics” annotations. They’re currently attached to new songs from artists like Ariana Grande,…

Every morning Flow State emails subscribers a set of background music, mostly wordless, to soundtrack your work day. And they’re pretty good at digging up non-obvious music, some of which isn’t even available on major streaming services (though almost all of it is on YouTube).

When it comes to cilantro, the leaves get most of the attention, but smart cilantro eaters know to hoard the stems. You can chuck them in your stock bag along with the rest of your kitchen scraps, or you can chop ‘em up and use them to flavor a big batch of fluffy, Chipotle-style cilantro lime rice in your rice…

Developers can now start playing with the next iteration of Bluetooth—that convenient little technology that lets you stream music to nearby devices or go on a run without cables connecting you to your smartphone. Though it will still take some time for Bluetooth 5.1 to make its way to phones, laptops, and other…

Google+ is going away on April 2, which means all of your Google+ content — including pages, photos, and videos — will disappear with it.

One of the underlying principles of Lifehacker is that not every hack works for every person. This is especially true of money advice, because everyone’s individual situation and goals will vary dramatically from everyone else’s. You might overspend when using a credit card, for example, so advice on the best rewards…

I have a Trenta-sized amount of love of the Mac app Amphetamine, because it’s a great way to keep your MacBook from sleeping (or kicking on the screen saver) for any particular reason. And I’m ashamed to admit that it’s taken me a year, if not years, to realize that I haven’t installed a similar kind of app on my…

Palm Springs has just 48,000 residents but over a million annual visitors. So life is pretty different for those who swing by for a couple of weeks to lounge poolside in December, and the locals who endure the weather year-round: the average monthly highs are a deadly 100°+ all summer. We want tips from both. What…

Who among us is excited for the triumphant return to the stage of Ray Romano? Not me!
