Good news, everybody—it’s Mailbox Improvement Week! While this is sometimes spun as an opportunity to “beautify” your mailbox (paint it, plant some flowers around it), there’s a more pressing issue: a human being has to stick their hand inside that thing, so please try not to make it a threat to life and limb.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features a lot of items. It carries over staples from Breath of the Wild like food and monster parts, and adds plenty of new options from bomb flowers to Zonai devices.

I was driving toward my alma mater, where I was planning to study environmental science; the closer I got, the harder I found it to escape the feeling that I would be hypocrite if I did anything else, given the staggering…

Getting a new computer can be pricey, but depending on your needs, you might not need a top shelf model to realize solid performance.

When pursuing the perfect bean dip, you either end up with a claggy, dense, muddy brick, or a light, smooth, silky spread. Let’s avoid the brick. The best way to achieve a fluffy, lump-less bean dip is to use flour—bean flour, that is.

We adults use money-sharing apps like Venmo all the time. Go out to dinner? Settle up with Venmo. Roommate pays the rent? Venmo over your half. Teens, on the other hand, aren’t allowed on Venmo, and while they mostly don’t deal with rent or complicated dinner bills, they spend money, too. Now, Venmo wants your teen to…

Nice weather means more time spent outside, whether in your yard, on your porch, or out on your apartment or condo balcony. But balconies don’t always offer a lot of privacy, and it can be awkward when your neighbors can easily see into your personal space. Thankfully, there are a handful of ways to easily block…

The Speedy Mag Wireless Charger is on sale right now in blue, white, or black for $39.99 (reg. $119.95), and is great for commuters, travelers, or anyone not sitting next to a wall. The charger attaches directly…

Sometimes, the best way to use your Mac is to not use it at all. Your Mac is capable of powerful automations that can run mundane or repetitive tasks for you, and these nine apps can help free you of that micromanaging so you can get back to whatever you really want to do.

I’m always trying to get people to listen to more podcasts. If you listen to five, I want you listening to eight. If you listen eight, I want that number to be 13. This is my literal job, people.

If someone is already a podcast lover, it is fairly easy to convince them to add a new one to their library. But what about…

Standing water that remains on your lawn well after a rainstorm not only limits how you use your yard; it also creates a breeding ground for insects, mold, and algae, attracts rodents, and may kill your grass.

If you have lots of space to cover, weeding can be tedious, time-consuming work, not to mention how hard it can be on your back and knees. There’s a fun tool you can try to banish weeds, though, and it’s actually fun and fast to use: a weed burner.

Anxiety is hard enough to cope with when you have the life experience to distinguish real threats from imaginary ones. We adults may know that the odds of an alien invasion are super slim, but in your child’s mind, it may feel perfectly plausible.

It’s 7 a.m., and you’re feeling smug about waking up in time to make breakfast. Your dish of choice? Avocado toast. But then, disaster. You slice into an alligator pear, only to find that it is decidedly unripe and rubbery. What to do? What to do? Besides reaching for another avocado, you have to figure out what to do…
