If you’ve noticed a slowdown in your Netflix streaming or web browsing, there’s a chance that you’ve got someone mooching off your internet. While it may just be a neighbor who’s too cheap to buy their own plan, you’ll want to find out for sure if someone’s stealing your wifi and upgrade your security accordingly.…

This week, a few big-name brokerages like Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade announced they would reduce their commissions on online stock and ETF (exchange-traded fund) trading to zero.

How do you find and read your news? It seems like most people rely on their Facebook or Twitter feeds for the latest headlines, but I’m skeptical of this method. Not only do you have to contend with fake news and shady ads pretending to be headlines, but there’s also a glut of research telling us spending too much…

ShutterGoogle’s Pixel 4, the world’s worst-kept secret, is less than two weeks away from its public debut. And, as always, the leaks just keep coming. This time around, 9to5Google allegedly got its hands on the shipped specs for the smartphone. Here’s a quick look at how Google’s upcoming device stacks up against the…

If you’re like me, you can remember getting a couple of bucks each week as an allowance when you were a kid. You’d use it for an ice cream from the corner store or you’d save it up until you had enough to buy a new book from the mall. Fast-forward to today, and it seems our kids are getting a whole lot more than ice…

In a (failed) quest to remove a years-old custom keyboard shortcut from my MacBook Pro, I inadvertently found a handy option in the keyboard settings that makes accessing emojis on desktop much easier.

Most old fashioneds have a little sugar, either by way of cube or syrup, but it’s not what I’d call a “sweet” cocktail. (Unless we’re talking about the Wisconsin old fashioned, which is an entirely different situation.) If you’re looking to ease your way into bourbon-focused cocktails with a little southern charm,…

If you want to win friends and influence people, well, there’s a whole book on how to do that. But how do you do social engineering the right way—to make life better for everyone, not just to manipulate people into doing what you want?

The battle over your online privacy could get a lot messier very soon.

How would you use an extra $500 every month? Would you spend it on splurges, put it toward bills, or boost your savings?

People seek out dill for its feathery, fragrant leaves, while the crunchy stems are largely ignored. They don’t have as much flavor as their leafy counterparts but, when pulverized and mixed with salt, you get a green, vegetal, pleasantly dill-scented salt. Combine that with a little powdered vinegar (sodium acetate),…

As reported by the Washington Post this week, U.S. officials allege that President Trump repeatedly tried to involve Vice President Mike Pence in his dealings with Ukraine, including “using Pence” to withhold aid until a more thorough corruption investigation was conducted into Joe Biden.

Merriam-Webster wants us all to use more Latin in our everyday lives, and we see no reason not to oblige. (Okay, M-W didn’t exactly say that, but they have published a list of their favorite Latin phrases, so it’s a fair conclusion.)

Making meat stock on the stove necessitates standing over a boiling hot pot, scooping weird congealed meat scum off the surface. It is the absolute worst. Sure, you could avoid skimming scum entirely by using a slow cooker, but if you’re stuck with the stove, there’s a simple way to make the worst part of stock making…

There’s a surprising amount of “stuff” that’s needed to keep the contents of your wardrobe presentable. Things like lint rollers and sweater combs that freshen up your clothes like a well-equipped pit crew in between washings.

It’s time to kick up the cardio a notch and do some intervals this October! (Intervaltober? HIITober? Okay, never mind.) There are lots of ways to do intervals, and they don’t all have to feel like you’re dying, so let’s explore the possibilities.

It’s embarrassing how often that I, a food writer, forget about the entire concept of dinner. At least once a week I’ll be completely blindsided by this around 6 PM, realizing that I not only need to cook but also figure out what in the hell I can even cook in the first place. There’s not enough time to thaw out any…
