Here’s a helpful trick that can potentially nab you a fresh replacement pair of Apple AirPods if you suspect that they aren’t performing as well as when you bought them new. The only catch is that your AirPods still have to be under their one-year warranty in order for this to pay off.

You probably pay close attention to the workings and health of your car’s Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, wifi hotspot, and cruise control. All the fun stuff, right? But how much do you know about your windshield wipers?

The Lifehacker staff works out of Times Square in New York, which means we’re constantly under the threat of being hit by a passing car. Just today, an SUV nearly ran me over, even though it had a red light.

I have a vivid memory from some point in my childhood of fishing on a pier somewhere with my family. I decided at some point to try out some sort of fly fishing move I’d seen on TV, which ended in my brother getting a hook in his ear and me giving up fishing.

My husband and I are sports fans. College and professional, basketball, football and baseball—we tend to like it all. So we hoped that our son would grow up to enjoy watching sports as much as we do. Not just because that would make life a little easier, but also because being a sports fan can be good for you in…

It’s the end of our stairs challenge, so tell us how it went! Did you do a lunge-focused lower body workout? Try our ladder of increasingly difficult push-ups?

It’s Negroni season. How can I tell? Easy—I just open my inbox and read the many press releases alerting me to the fact. I do love the three-ingredient cocktail; I drink it year-round, but the “season” is really a marketing ploy for the Campari company, which means the grassier, gentian-focused White Negroni gets left…

After several post-recession seasons of pretty-much-zero interest rates on certificates of deposit, recent years have seen marked improvement. That’s thanks in part to the federal funds rate, which the Federal Reserve has raised nine times between December 2015 and December 2018.

We’re big fans of math and pizza here at Lifehacker, so you probably already know that it’s always a better deal to buy a large pizza instead of a smaller pie.

Apple, the world’s biggest seller of expensive, droppable objects, reached their peak with AirPods: $169 a pair, cordless, and intended for pulling in and out of your ears five times a day. You will eventually drop one into a tight space, behind furniture or even into a sidewalk grate. And that is when you’ll need a…

My home is interesting (special?) in that we have central air conditioning on the first floor and window AC units in the upstairs bedrooms. What this means, practically speaking, is that we lose a lot of our cool first floor air up the stairs, where it is immediately swallowed up by a hallway that becomes stifling in…

When I make macaroni and cheese from the (blue) box, I rarely stray from the instructions. As far as processed foods go, this one is pretty dialed in, and I’m not one to mess with aggressively orange perfection. But the other night, after two martinis and a shot of Fernet, I remembered I had buttermilk in my fridge,…

When it comes time to open a birthday gift, kids care about the card as much as they care about the nutritional values on the side of their box of Cap’n Crunch. It usually gets tossed aside, the message lost in a mountain of discarded wrapping paper.

During a recent discussion about credit card rewards, Lifehacker Managing Editor Virginia K. Smith and I found ourselves with a shared lament: We get swipe happy when we know we’re earning credit card rewards.

The best format for a summer book is a paperback: readable in bright sunlight, light enough to throw in a bag, cheap enough to destroy with grass and sand and water. But whatever format you read in, here are the books the Lifehacker staff recommends this summer.
