With soaring gas prices and devastating inflation, now is not an ideal time to buy a car.

Material You is one of Android’s great recent features. Introduced with Android 12, it automatically adjusts your smartphone’s UI elements based on your chosen wallpaper. If the image is predominantly green and black, for example, UI elements will update to match those colors. It’s a simple idea, but an effective one,…

iOS 16 is filled with awesome new features, from the ability to instantly copy the subject from images to a whole new customizable Lock Screen with widgets.

The thin air at high altitudes has long been recognized as a training superpower for athletes. If you live and train at altitude, you’ll likely wipe the floor with your lowland competitors.

Saving seeds from this year’s crop can save you the money and hassle of buying seeds for next year’s garden. It’s also a practice that can make home gardening more sustainable: If you have a tomato or string bean variety you particularly enjoy, saving some seeds to replant next year can take the guesswork out of…

When Windows 11 launched last year, it was a radical update. It quite literally changed the face of the decades-old operating system with a new central taskbar and updated UI elements. But it wasn’t quite finished: Its dark mode was lacking, the taskbar was frustrating, and the new Start menu left a lot to be desired. …

Netflix is having a rough go in 2022—falling stock, high-profile cancellations, and a refusal to just renew The Sandman already— but I can’t quit them yet, not when they’re premiering a new stop-motion animated feature from the director of Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Do you think about how long you’re making eye contact with someone when having a conversation? I don’t. Maybe because it’s never been an issue in my life, or maybe because I’m too self-centered and lazy to care, but it’s never occurred to me to worry about how long I gaze into other people’s eyes when I’m speaking…

This week marks a milestone birthday for Stephen King, a diamond jubilee for one of America’s most popular, prolific, and accomplished writers. Snobs may unfairly dismiss his work, but they can’t ignore his impact. Even if you’ve never so much as thumbed through one of King’s many bestsellers, you’re certainly…

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s does more than create ambitious telescopes that can see the beginning of time and send people to the moon and back. It’s also responsible for Michael Phelps’ swimsuit, LASIK surgery, and the selfie. The everyday products listed below are only 15 of the more than…

I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about deviled eggs and the right way to make them. But recently, I have become semi-obsessed with “deconstructed” and “reimagined” deviled eggs. I’m a big fan of un-deviled eggs and deviled egg salad, and it looks like I’ll be adding Martha Stewart’s “Cheater’s Deviled Eggs” to my…

Do you love flying but don’t have the time or money to fly as much as you’d like? Or maybe you’re just starting out in your travel journey and want to get those coveted airline elite status levels without having to take (as many) flights. Regardless of your situation, there are ways to earn status with airlines…

Concern over gas prices is always high, but right now, it’s at a fever pitch. It’s one of the main topics of conversation these days (even when people don’t know what they’re talking about) and we’re all looking for ways to save money at the pump.

In a romantic relationship, it’s normal to feel occasional jealousy. Most likely you’ve experienced the green-eyed monster at times when you’ve felt insecure about yourself—maybe while watching the bartender flirt a little too obviously with your partner, or when your spouse brings home yet another story about their…

Apple Music’s app is one of its biggest weaknesses of its app-based streaming service, which seems...not ideal. Whether you’re on your iPhone or your Mac, the app has never been known for being particularly snappy; Reddit users in particular love to complain about it. If you’ve found the Apple Music app to be…

You might want to put up shelves but feel hesitant to do anything that could damage your walls. And even if you’re pretty handy with a putty knife, fixing screw and nail holes can often leave traces behind, which could potentially be a problem if you’re a renter. The good news is that there are ways to get some…

The thought of earning money without doing any active work sounds pretty nice. When people talk about “earning money while you sleep” (even though that’s a myth), they’re usually referring to passive or residual income. Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, there are some key differences between…
