When you have little kids, it can be tempting to go all-out for the holidays, stuffing as many gifts as you can under the tree, under the guise of creating family memories (that they’re unlikely to remember). But money is also finite; in fact, you may still be trying to pull yourself out of credit card debt from last y…

Plex launched a new, free, ad-supported streaming service for movies and TV shows today, and here’s the kicker: There’s no way to not view ads. Even if you’re a Plex Pass subscriber, Plex’s premium offering, you’re still going to see ads when you watch anything on its streaming service. Are these minor annoyances…

When you’re dealing with a major loss, it tends to affect most aspects of your life, whether or not you realize it. Sure, you expect to feel a pang of sadness the first time you go to their home after they pass away, or when you get excited about something and pick up your phone to call them, only to remember that…

If you’re used to a class, doing yoga on your own can be daunting—which poses should you choose? Or if you’re following along with a flow you found online, how can you modify or replace something that’s not quite at the right level for you? This chart from Stack52 can help you find the right pose.

Interviewing for a potential job is stress-inducing enough itself, without even considering the whole follow-up process. What if you think it went well but you don’t hear back from anyone? Sometimes this is a sign of bad news, and sometimes it isn’t. You want to follow up and find out what’s going on, but you don’t…

We always recommend keeping your extension list light, because you never know when something might try to siphon data from your browser—especially more data than it should be able to access. That’s exactly the issue Mozilla is raising with four seemingly “good” extensions—Avast Online Security, AVG Online Security,…

If there’s a massive downpour or you’re traveling during rush hour, you can usually count on exorbitant surge pricing while using popular ride share apps like Uber or Lyft. If you don’t know how surge pricing works, here’s the long and short of it: If there’s a high demand for rides, a premium is placed on rides in a…

I come from a quiet people. My classmates and I were always bad at asking questions of the teacher, or recognizing that we had questions. I wish I’d had someone like historian and professor Jacqueline Antonovich, who recently tweeted a trick for encouraging her students to pipe up. She simply rephrases the prompt “Any…

If you’ve got a lot of credit card debt and the monthly interest charges are adding up, a balance transfer credit card can be an excellent way of paying off that debt without paying interest. In exchange for a small balance transfer fee (usually 3% to 5% of your transferred balance), these cards give you an…

The NYT Cooking tour of Melissa Clark’s kitchen is a fun, warm ride. Clark’s spice drawers are a modern marvel, as is her impressive collection of salt, her massive jar of homemade vanilla extract, and her two (2) spaetzle makers. But the video isn’t just 11 minutes and 14 seconds of “look at my stuff!” Clark also…

With so many streaming services allowing us to watch what we want when we want it, it makes sense that people are considering getting rid of cable. And as great as it is to be able to come home after work and watch back-to-back-to-back episodes of The Office or Living Single, there’s something to be said about being…

Remember the last time you asked your toddler to wait just a second for something, and that only made them more desperate and relentless for the thing they wanted? Toddlers are known for many things and patience ain’t one. They are beginners and they need to stretch their patience muscles. But as parents, it is…

Here comes the Android December security update. If you’re the proud owner of a Pixel phone, it’s time to check and see if you can grab the latest fixes, patches, and features for your device. But remember: Google is rolling the update out, as always, so it’s possible you might not have it yet.

A few months ago, we here at Lifehacker HQ discussed the possible consequences of hidden city ticketing—when a traveler intentionally misses a connection because it’s cheaper to book a multi-stop flight over a direct itinerary to their destination. And while stories of travelers being “punished” by airlines for…

Italian bread, eggs, milk, butter, and syrup—those were always the five ingredients my railroad-worker father used to make French toast for us. He ate it plain, but my brother and I wanted ours topped with an unholy amount of sugar. I remember my Mom trying to teach me about portion control, in the hopes that I…

Lots of people buy TVs on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but there’s a lot you’ll want to consider when setting up a smart TV—more than just plugging everything in. As with any internet-based product, smart TVs are vulnerable to hacking and security exploits. A hacked TV might sound like something you’d find on your…

Few things are more frustrating than having your browser freeze while you’re streaming or surfing or having your messenger app lock up mid-rant. So what to do if you’re confronted with the spinning beach ball of death on your Mac and the application you’re using isn’t responding?

Amazon stocks everything you could ever imagine purchasing, at prices that usually best its competitors. But there’s something that just doesn’t sit right about being able to get a 12-pack of paper towels or whatever else your heart desires delivered in two days (or fewer).
