IT guru Bob Gendler took to Medium last week to share a startling discovery about Apple Mail. If you have the application configured to send and receive encrypted email—messages that should be unreadable for anyone without the right decryption keys—Apple’s digital assistant goes ahead and stores your emails in plain…

There are many reasons someone might want to make the switch from sweetened to unsweetened coffee. Some of them are health related, some of them are not. How one takes one’s coffee is a very personal matter which should not be subjected to snobbery or judgmental comments. I’m not here to make judgements regarding…

Our monkey brains didn’t evolve to understand big numbers without some help. So when you run into an abstract figure, it’s good to have some real-world thing to compare it to. That’s why I memorize a few stats about the U.S. population; that’s why we made a video comparing Jeff Bezos’s money to Beyoncé’s. When you…

Every now and then, you move to a new home or you rearrange the room of your current home and you find yourself with a bookcase that no longer quite fits in the new or updated space. So now what do you do with it?

Unless you are hosting Thanksgiving, you are most likely going to be a turkey day guest in someone’s home, and you should bring something to share with the host and other guests. Sides, pie, and alcohol are all obviously good choices, but a real hero brings serving utensils.

When Apple Card officially debuted in August, one of its convenient features was the ability to apply for the card from your phone and get approved in a matter of seconds. Even better, you could see how much you’d get approved for before agreeing to the terms of the card and seeing the impact of opening a new account…

If you want to achieve your financial goals, you’re going to need to have some cash set aside for unexpected expenses.

If there’s one downside to freshly whipped cream—an otherwise perfect and surprisingly versatile food—it’s that you have to whip it just before serving. On any day besides Thanksgiving, this is no big deal, but trying to track down the mixer while people are milling around asking about pie adds an extra layer of chaos…

In 2019, it’s almost certain that any pregnant person with a smartphone and an Instagram account knows what a doula is (a non-medical childbirth support person, for any latecomers). A doula can accompany pregnant women through the transformative process of pregnancy, labor and postpartum. And there is evidence that a…

If you’ve been thinking about getting a DNA test that gives you health reports, good news: the IRS has ruled that you can use your FSA money to partially pay for it.

Sometimes you want to play music, podcasts, or audiobooks, but you need one ear open to the world, so you only put one earbud in. But if the song, podcast, or binaural ASMR dub of Steamed Hams is in stereo, then some sounds are only coming out through the earbud that you’re not using. To hear everything, you can flip…

Last week, we wrote about one way to get perspective on your problems by comparing them to, well, the size of entire planets and galaxies.

When someone just won’t shut up, sometimes, flat-out interrupting them is the only way to get a word in—when that fails, honesty works, too. (Here’s how to accomplish that.)

Black Friday may be the traditional start to the holiday shopping season, but the sales are starting earlier every year. It’s not because of “Christmas creep” (you know, that awful tradition where stores start putting out their Christmas inventory around Labor Day). It’s because of Singles Day, the biggest holiday…

There’s a new Crown in town and she’s played by Fleabag’s stepmother, everyone’s Favourite star, Olivia Colman. I’ve never seen The Crown but so profound is my adoration for Colman (Peep Show fans, where are you?) that I plan to snarf up the first two seasons in order to be caught up for Season 3's debut on Sunday.…

I’ve exclusively worked from home for the majority of the last decade. Working fro home is great, but it can also be pretty distracting. One thing that makes it easier? Pretending you’ve gone to the office.

E!’s People’s Choice Awards kicks off tonight at 9pm ET, with the red carpet show officially kicking off at little earlier at 7pm ET.

Global Entry is by far one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I travel out of the country quite a bit, and having it shaves off not only a ton of time when I’m entering the country (sometimes I’m as much as an hour and a half faster than my travel companions that don’t have it) but a ton when I’ve leaving as well…
