When Greek NBA player Giannis Antetokounmpo tried dipping his Oreos in milk a few months ago for the first time, his mind was understandably blown. “From now on, that’s an every night snack for me,” he said during a press conference. (Watch the clip below. It is delightful.)

Since Apple introduced the Retina display to the Mac back in 2012, most of their lineup has shipped with one of the laser sharp, pleasingly crisp screens. Whether you have a small 12-inch laptop display or a large 27-inch desktop, your Mac likely looks great. So it can be frustrating when you plug it into an external…

There comes a time in every person’s life when we must ask: How the hell am I going to transport all this crap I have accumulated to a new home? Whether you’re leaving a 9-by-7 bedroom in a third floor New York City walkup or a four-bedroom suburban house with basement, sometimes the biggest challenge (besides…

Last year, Dropbox stirred up emotions by stating that they won’t be working on a Dropbox client optimized for Apple Silicon (M1) Macs until they see the demand for it—words that thankfully retreated fast, and a new Dropbox client was promised in the first half of 2022. As we roll off this year, the M1 app is…

“Gamification” is the practice of adding game-like elements to non-game contexts. It isn’t new, nor it is always a negative, but it is being aimed at consumers and employees more and more frequently, whether to keep you addicted to an app, motivated at work, or inclined to spend your money on something.

The days when you graduated college, started a career, and never looked back are long behind us. Lifelong learning isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s an essential aspect of survival. Even a cursory glance at the last few decades reveals how fast things change, not just in terms of your actual job, but in the way we even…

You may not have realized that the full gamut of iMessage effects is available on the Mac too—even if Apple’s desktop Messages app doesn’t make it apparent. If you want to send an iMessage with a dose of fireworks, for example, you can do so on the Mac just as you can on an iPhone or iPad. Here’s how to use and send…

I’ve been working at the same desk for 12 years now, but a problem has arisen in the last year or two. You see, my desk faces away from my home office door because there is a window on the opposite wall, and window-gazing is a big part of my creative process. Recently, I added a pair of noise-canceling headphones to…

With iOS 15, your iPhone got a somewhat hidden tool that can boost your productivity and help you speed up repetitive tasks, such as copying and pasting multiple items. The tool is called drag-and-drop, and it lets you quickly drag multiple photos into a Word or Google Docs document, allows you to instantly copy links…

Even as an increasing number of Americans have come to accept the use of cannabis, one thing that hasn’t budged much is how accessible it is. Sure, more states are legalizing the stuff every year, but even where weed is legal, you can’t just walk into the corner store and buy it alongside some toilet paper and a…

I don’t tend to make product recommendation or write reviews. With the exception of wildly popular appliances like the air fryer and Instant Pot, I try to ensure my recipes don’t hinge on any one piece of equipment, and my own kitchen is stocked with things I inherited, or purchased at Goodwill or the restaurant…

While buying or selling a home can bring up a lot of personal feelings, it’s ultimately a business deal, and it’s best to keep your cards close to your chest. Expressing every thought you have or sharing every detail about your situation could backfire, making you less competitive, compromising your leverage, or…

Cats make every home better—this is an undeniable fact. But with every cat comes an unsightly litter box (or two), and the age-old conundrum of where to store it. Sure, you can buy a piece of furniture, like this “storage bench,” that is specifically meant to hide a litter box away and provide your favorite feline…

You may have noticed that we are firmly in the age of the QR code—every restaurant, state agency, and shop you interact with has a QR code prominently displayed. The technology is one of convenience, taking us to information we want quickly and directly, while hiding the actual destination until we have arrived. That…

To me, Siri is perhaps the most annoying feature of my iPhone. You can’t fix some of its problems—such as Siri’s inability to comprehend certain basic commands or to reliably return useful results—but there are several settings you can adjust Siri less grating and more useful. Let’s walk through them.

As cold, sleet, ice, and snow descend across many areas of the country, the threat of losing power looms large. While a power outage may pose only a minor inconvenience of eating leftovers by head lamp for a night, sometimes it can have much longer, more costly effects as the food in your refrigerator slowly spoils.…

Have you committed to a new habit—exercising, let’s say—but keep falling off the wagon? Do you give up when the going gets tough? Does this whole “pursuing goals” idea seem really daunting? You may have low self-efficacy. But don’t worry: self-efficacy is something that you can build with practice.

Whether you’re trying to write a novel or send an email, it can be hard to get yourself to stick to a set work schedule. I certainly struggle to hold myself accountable; I mean, I know the person who set the terms here, and she’s pretty easy to undermine. That’s why I welcome any sort of productivity hack that will…

Given my state of origin (Mississippi), it’s not surprising that my favorite cooking fats are bacon grease and butter. They make food taste like home, but they aren’t the fats I reach for if I’m oil-poaching a salmon filet, whipping up a quick vinaigrette, or making a vegan marinara (which, incidentally, is even…
