As a bookish, curious kid growing up in a rural, working class area in the 90s, my life revolved around three things: my soccer team, the library, and Pizza Hut. The latter two were intrinsically connected for reasons I will explain shortly (and the first certainly helped burn off the calorific aftereffects of the…

Few things are more frustrating than a canceled flight, particularly in the U.S. You can be strung along for hours, waiting with your increasingly agitated fellow travelers, only to be told you’ll have to wait until the next day to actually take your flight.

When my daughter was a toddler, she loathed brushing her teeth, but once we found a toothpaste flavor she enjoyed (pink bubble gum, of course), her perspective immediately shifted to “OOOH CANDY!” Every time I squeezed some onto her toothbrush, she complained, “That’s so little!” She wanted a whole mouthful of the…

It may seem counterintuitive, but sometimes you need another thing to help yourself get organized, even if you’re feeling fatigue about all the apps and services you’re already wrangling. Notion is an all-in-one workspace app that can help you feel less overwhelmed with all the pieces of a particular project, even if…

At this point in my life and career, I feel I have a handle on how to peel and eat fruit, but every once in a while I’m surprised by an approach I had not previously considered (like peeling a mango with a pint glass, which works very well). I am not, however, impressed with the technique shown in this viral tweet.

Think about the last time you had an awkward interaction, or made a small mistake at work. What was your reaction?

Android / iOS: A Lifehacker reader alerted me about the existence of Ubiquiti’s WiFiman app in a recent Tech 911 post—thanks, Rick!—and I wholeheartedly recommend it if you’re an Android user. The app also exists for iOS, and it has a few fun features, but it’s not nearly as useful for learning more about all the wifi…

Weary moms and dads, ever wish you could do more parenting while lying down? Behold, this T-shirt designed by Japanese software engineer Ken Kawamoto.

It has come to my attention that not everyone is eating their brie rind. This is silly, because brie rind is good, and—if you’re scraping the the gooey center out of a wedge on a communal cheese plate—it’s pretty dang rude. But even beyond brie, a lot of folks shy away from perfectly edible, sometimes delicious rinds,…

A security flaw in Google Chrome was under active attack last week; although Google’s most recent Chrome update (hopefully) automatically fixed the problem in your browser, it’s important that you double-check that you’re running the newest version (72.0.3626.121).

If you replaced your iPhone battery with a third-party alternative and need your device repaired, you’re in luck: Apple will now service iPhones with third-party batteries, MacRumors reports.

As a parent, the idea that my kid—or any kid I know—could be thinking about suicide is one I’d like to push far, far away. No. God, no. Not possible.

I hang my geeky head in shame for never trying this earlier, but I just noticed the other day that you can right-click in Gmail to pull up a useful Gmail-themed context menu. In fact, it’s probably faster to organize your emails this way then to select an email and use the chubbier buttons toward the top of Gmail’s UI…
