Whether they were right about…

Although you can install ad blockers for your iPhone, these apps have a glaring blind spot: Apple’s own ads. No iPhone ad blocker (not even the DNS or VPN-based ones) can block Apple’s ads for various apps, its own services, and search. The worst offender in this case is the App Store, where Apple has included giant…

According to a report from Morgan Stanley, pre-owned luxury watches have fallen in price because the market has been…

Storage units can be a temporary fix during a move, or help keep your clutter—holiday decorations, out-of-season clothes, sporting equipment, and so on—to a minimum. But there are some items that shouldn’t be kept in this kind of space. While a storage unit might seem similar to a garage or basement, there are…

iOS 16 opened the lock screen to whole new experiences—there’s a widget section, Live Activities for real-time updates, and Dynamic Island if you’re using the iPhone 14 Pro. It wasn’t going to be long before someone figured out how to use all of these new features to launch apps. The fact that the official Shortcuts…

Your monthly mortgage payment isn’t the only expense to consider when you own a home. Your budget should also include—at the least—insurance, utilities, maintenance, and property taxes, all of which can add up to a hefty sum and make homeownership a little less affordable.

If you love finding new ways to wake up and set your mouth on fire, salsa macha eggs are sure to be your next stop. Although salsa macha is commonly used as a flavorful topping, its high oil content makes it a great lubricant and heat conductor for your scrambled eggs. Add a sprinkle of salty cheese, and this dish…

Truss completed the fastest prime-minister-speed-run in British history: while in office, she met…

The effects won’t be immediate: Netflix isn’t planning to start charging for password sharing until early next year, when account holders will start being charged a few bucks extra for profiles for users…

I always get excited when a new version of a gadget is about to come out—not necessarily because I want the latest and best, but because I love scoring a good deal on last year’s model. However, sometimes the deals aren’t as good as they seem. Apple is currently making way for its new Apple TV 4K, and thus the 2021…
