Look, I like software updates, and I’m not alone—some of us enjoy seeing what new features developers have cooked up. But even though they’re less exciting, I’m an even bigger fan of security updates...and Apple is introducing a new type of security update for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It’s called Rapid Security…

When it comes to following a recipe, the first step is making sure you’ve got the right ingredients. This can be especially tricky if an ingredient has a name that is similar to a different product. I don’t mean walnut pieces and walnut halves (there’s not much at risk with that mix up), but pondering the labels of…

When confronted with the need to tie something off, most people resort to simply tying as many half-assed knots as they can in the vague hope that the sheer frictional complexity will stymie the natural forces of entropy.

This approach can work, as long as you’re okay with sacrificing your dignity and the…

Sure, out of context, the advice to “eat the frog first thing in the morning” sounds weird as hell. However, this somewhat-commonly known expression is one way of describing a decidedly helpful productivity tip—and it turns out that I’ve been eating the frog for a long time. If you’d like to be more productive and …

No, not semolina flour. Salmonella in your flour. Or at least the potential of it. That’s what the food processing company General Mills announced in a voluntary recall, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Perennials are a popular option for flower gardens, and for good reason—they come back on their own. But there’s another option to bring flowering annuals into your garden that don’t need to be replanted every year. You can choose flowering varieties that reseed themselves and keep blooming for years.

You may have heard of the Pomodoro technique before—perhaps even here at Lifehacker—and might already be aware it’s a solid productivity hack. But applied in another way, i can actually be more than that: This technique is also an excellent study tool that can help you maximize your focus and retention.

Concentrated products, whether soups, pastes, or powders, are some of my favorite ingredients to work with. Once you’re familiar with their scope and strength, you can dilute them as little or as much as you desire. In the case of tomato paste, you can create soup, sauce, or cocktails, all without any additional…

What started as a simple recipe for COVID protection—get a jab, come back in three weeks and get another—became a byzantine labyrinth to navigate over the last thirty months. The government has recognized how confusing COVID vaccine schedules have become, and is trying to streamline to make it easier to understand,…

Patio pavers are a great landscaping choice because you don’t need to build a structure under them, they’re cheaper than other similar options, and they can add a unique look to your outdoor space. While the flat space can be good for entertaining and relaxing, there are some maintenance headaches when you use pavers…

Keeping tabs on all the class-action lawsuits going down each month almost qualifies as a side hustle. It takes time to track everything down, but you can earn some money for it—but we’re trying to help make it easier. Our May deadline settlements include more data and personal information breaches, as well as a few…

Studying is a necessary pain when one is in school, which is why we have devised so many ways to do it. Everyone learns differently, but some methods are more trusted than others. “Chunking,” for instance, is a real-deal psychological trick that the biggest brains in psychology swear by. Here’s how to do it if you…

I was a fully grown adult before I learned that identifying emotions is the first step to dealing with them. Now I keep a feelings wheel handy at all times, just in case anyone needs help distinguishing between feeling angry and afraid, or between annoyed and nervous. I’ve also found the feelings wheel useful in times…

I grew up in a family that was scrupulous about food safety, and it took me a little while after I moved out to figure out the difference between what was a sensible precaution (wash your hands after touching raw meat) and what was not (you must throw out yogurt that is a day past the sell-by date). The first time I…

I learned to make cheese under the tutelage of two women on a farm in New Zealand. The memory that really stuck is being shown to the cheese cave, a walk-in outbuilding protected by the largest duck I’d ever laid eyes on. As if to explain his largesse, the cheesemaker noted “we throw him a lot of curd.”

There are so many different ways to lift weights that, at first, everything is a learning experience. You’ll do too much or too little, and you’ll discover that you hate certain exercises. But those are the good kind of mistakes—the kind you can learn from. The following are the other kind: beginner mistakes you’ll be…

If the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Writers Guild of America fail to reach an agreement on a new contract by 11:59 p.m. ET tonight, the resulting strike will shut down production of many movies and TV shows in Hollywood. The longer the (hypothetical for now) strike continues, the less…
