When Apple refreshed the MacBook Pro line with the M1 Pro and M1 Max models in the fall of 2021, I told you you didn’t need them. The design was great, MagSafe was back, and the upgraded M1 chips were beasts, but the machines were overkill for the average consumer. And the same holds true today for the new M2 Pro…

Politicians and social media can’t get enough of the gas versus electric stove debate (at Lifehacker, we think Electric Stoves Are Good, Actually)—but regardless of where you stand on it, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) federal legislation that was passed last year can essentially score you a free electric range in…

You’re Agent 47, dropped off at a high tech firm in Chongquing, China. Your objective is to eliminate a number of targets and hack the company’s data core. How you accomplish these tasks is completely up to you—just don’t get caught.

During a recent bathroom renovation project, my boyfriend had to disconnect his water softener, and it wreaked more havoc on our daily lives than we expected. Showering and washing clothes, in particular, were much more difficult, as hard water leads to the formation of “soap scum” that is difficult to rinse away. We…

When an experienced person uses a rowing machine, it’s almost a thing of beauty—a continuous rhythm, their whole body moving back and forth continuously as the numbers on the screen rise higher and higher. So why, when you get on, does it feel immediately impossible, and also your back hurts?

With so many devices (and their various accessories) needing to be charged—not to mention the lights, appliances, and other electronics that need to remain plugged in—your cords and cables situation is probably out of control. Keeping cables neat and well organized is tough, whether it’s for the stuff you use every…

Whether it’s a secret crush, an illicit affair, or a murder, most people keep secrets, but most people are bad at it. Effective, to-the-grave style secret-keeping is a skill like anything else, one that can be developed. I’m not saying you should keep secrets—life would probably be better if we were more open—but if…

Between AAA standouts like God of War, Elden Ring, and Horizon Forbidden West, and high-profile indies like Tunic, Citizen Sleeper, and Immortality, tons of great video games were released in 2022.Maybe too many, and chances are at least a few worthwhile games passed you by. (I’m sorry, Signalis. I promise I’ll play…

It boggles my mind that airlines are allowed to sell more tickets than the plane has seats, putting you, the passenger, at risk of getting bumped from a flight you paid for. When a flight attendant tells you your seat is no longer available, they’ll say that you’re being “reassigned to a later flight” and that,…

Every parent has been there: You need a few minutes to relax and cook dinner, but your kids are looking to you for something fun to occupy their time. It’s so easy to hand them an iPad or gaming system, but when it’s time to eat, they don’t want to pull their eyes away from the screen, which can lead to meltdowns. You…

Babies are easy to soothe, right? Give them something to suck or wrap them up in a tight swaddle, and they melt in your arms. For little kids, a parent’s hug is still probably the most soothing response to their Big Feelings, but Mom and Dad are not always around in times of emotional distress. But if you start…

Finding out your favorite restaurant delivers meals for free can feel like a major win—and a lot of popular spots out there offer that perk. Many places will offer free delivery once you pass a certain price threshold on your order, and some of these will be free by getting free trials from food delivery apps. (Just…

Saving cheese rinds from Parmigiano Reggiano and the like is a classic, time-honored, no-waste hack. (Lifehacker first covered it more than a decade ago.) It’s delightfully surprising, then, to find a new use for the cheese butts, but that’s just what the clever people at Food52 have done. I’m not saying you should…

The money struggle is real. If you’re struggling to make rent while also paying down your credit card debt, you’re not alone. Currently the average American has over $90,000 in debt while the total U.S. consumer debt balance has shot up to $800 billion since the pandemic. Given these stats, it’s understandable to feel…
