If you don’t like the idea that your Echo device is recording every question you ask it—all in the interest of, well, whatever Amazon’s reasoning is—you can now wipe its memory each day with a handy voice command. Say this to your device, “Alexa, delete everything I said today,” and your Echo speaker or other Alexa…

I’m not going to judge you for ordering a cup of flavored sugar milk with a dash of coffee. You like to make your addictive bean water taste good! But those add-ons add up, so here’s how to get your $6 frankendrink down to a still-expensive-but-less-outrageous $3-ish.

When making s’mores, you never want just one. At a minimum, you’re going to eat two. You can make your life so much easier with this S’More to Love Six S’More Maker. Right now, it is a couple of bucks off on Amazon. Just think of how amazing your next bonfire will be when you pull this tool out.

For many, this rolling rubber apparatus conjures up visions of your local public library.

They’ve got that wider shelf to hold your books while you step up to snag an out-of-reach title, and…

Until someone asked me about it yesterday, I had completely forgotten about the childhood ritual of sitting and whining poolside after a meal. Do you really need to keep kids out of the water for a full hour? Is half an hour okay? Ten minutes? Friends, do whatever you want. There was never any health or safety related…

The Sklar Brothers, the most famous brother act in comedy today, are known for their work in a wide variety of media: stand-up comedy (including six albums); TV shows like Cheap Seats and appearances on SportsCenter and Better Call Saul; and their podcasts Sklarbro Country, View From the Cheap Seats, and Dumb People…

If you chat with all your friends who game via Discord, it makes a lot of sense to show off what you’re playing. It’s a conversation starter, it tells your friends what console you’re using and maybe even gives them a sense of your mood. (Everybody has their own comfort games).
