AirPods are awesome, trendy, and expensive. If you have the option to buy these popular earbuds at a discount, especially a steep discount, you’re obviously going to be interested. However, that enthusiasm is fueling the fake AirPods market, so much so Apple has included an AirPods verification check in iOS 16. So,…

Duck has a reputation for being fussy, and I blame the French. I am sick of the French (way of preparing and cooking duck). All that talk of separating the breast from the legs, and cooking each one separately, the breast carefully cooked to a perfect medium rare, while the legs are buried and confit’d in even more…

Renovating your home is exciting, expensive, and stressful. You might think the difficulty is over once the last coat of paint has dried, but there’s almost always one final step: Dealing with the leftover construction materials.

Renovation is far from an exact science, and you pretty much have no choice but to buy…

The next time you travel abroad and need to fly back into the U.S., here’s how to get through immigration more seamlessly.

There are plenty of reasons to update your iPhone to iOS 16. You can customize your Lock Screen to be anything you want, edit and undo iMessages, and even see your iPhone’s battery percentage again. While those new features and changes are worth updating for, none are as pressing as the latest security update.

With iOS 14, Apple brought widgets to your iPhone’s Home Screen—with iOS 16, Apple wants to do the same with your Lock Screen. With this update, you can create multiple Lock Screens that you can cycle through at any time, and each Lock Screen can hold up to five different widgets: There’s a grid of four squares below…

Many of us instinctually know that talking consistently to a baby or toddler is important for their development. But it may be even more important that we realize: As child development research shows, encouraging a child’s language development isn’t just about the number of words that they hear—it’s also about the…

Back-to-school season means backpacks are on the brain. I believe having a stocked backpack is an adult thing to do, too, though. Rarely do I leave the house with nothing but my phone, wallet, and keys. I’d rather be prepared with more than the bare minimum when I’m out and about.
