A few months ago, Google agreed to pay $7.25 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over faulty microphones on the original Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones. For you, that means a payout of up to $500, and as of today, you can file your claims for the cash (even if you never experienced any mic issues).

Hookahs are growing in popularity, but if you’re interested because you’ve heard that they’re “safer” than other ways of smoking, we have bad news for you: They’re probably not.

I don’t read a lot of ebooks with my kid, but I can certainly appreciate the convenience of them. They’re fantastic for travel (take this from someone who just helped my daughter lug a backpack full of giant activity books onto an airplane). They can also cost less per title than print versions and may include bonus…

I do not have a garden, but I have many gardener-type friends, and this means I enjoy free produce in the summer months. Some gifts, like two pounds of blackberries or many ripe tomatoes, are welcome, but a recent offering—a single zucchini—had vague troll vibes.

As a longtime Spotify user, I grab my digital pitchfork and join the masses of Android users who are pissed off about the latest Spotify update, which removes the Android home screen widget that made it incredibly useful to play and pause songs from your smartphone’s screens.

New models of Nintendo’s Switch console are now available on store shelves in select regions and will be rolling out to other markets soon.

Bench pressing can be fucking terrifying; I still have nightmares of being crushed to death by a barbell and meeting my end in a New York Sports Club—but if you have a spotter and communicate adequately with them, you shouldn’t worry so much.

The good news: You can still buy a standalone version of Microsoft Office (for now) instead of paying Microsoft regular money for a subscription. The bad news, however, is that you can no longer get a super-cheap, one-off copy of Office via Microsoft’s Home Use Program.

You can’t read your kid’s mind. If you could, you would know that his new favorite color just became turquoise, even though you just bought him a cup that is blue, his favorite color from three hours ago. But you can make him think you can read his mind, thanks to this super fun trick posted on Reddit by u/trongs24.

If you know me, you know that I hate it when things roll away. Things that roll away slow me down, and they force me to pick them up. It’s inconvenient, and I’m accustomed to an easy life.

If you’re considering a getaway this fall, now’s the time to book it: Frontier Airlines currently has 1.9 million seats on sale, starting at $15 for a one-way ticket. But get on it, because the sale is for today only.

Even Zune-clutching Windows loyalists have to admit that Mac owners have it pretty great—at least, they do now. Apple hasn’t charged for macOS, nor macOS updates, for years. Of course, you need to buy your computer from Apple to use macOS (pretty much), but at least the operating system is free.

Over on a recent post, we asked readers to tell us the worst tourist traps to avoid while traveling—and we learned several important things. For one, don’t visit the “overrated” Space Needle.
