I realize I am in an unusual position saying this, given that I have spent the last three years writing monthly columns on the comings and goings to the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max, but it’s sad to see how far it has fallen. For a streamer that once produced a ton of weird and engaging original…

What LinkedIn (usually) lacks in ostentatious, glam, or funny posts, it makes up for in utility—provided you use it correctly. While you’re looking for a job or even just tracking progress in your existing role, here are three things you shouldn’t put on your LinkedIn.

Bananas foster has a reputation of complexity. Newcomers to the retro dessert might not know much about it other than that it’s a dessert with a fancy name, and that it gets set on fire—both of which seem a little intimidating. But it turns out making a killer bananas foster is a simple, one-pan project that only …

Season 6 of Black Mirror kicks off with an episode called Joan Is Awful. If you haven’t watched yet, the premise is essentially this: When you sign up for Streamberry (Black Mirror’s version of Netflix), you sign away the rights to your likeness and life. Streamberry can then use the events of your day-to-day life to…

When you’re in the running for a job, you often face a number of interviews. In some cases, the first one might be done by phone and take only about a half an hour. There are a lot of great ways to prepare for the classic, face-to-face interview, but what do you do when the person with the power to move you to the…

You may have recently received an email from the company EpiqPay, a payment distribution service, about the recent Zoom settlement and wondered if it’s legit or a scam: As reported by Snopes, the fact-checking website, the email is legitimate and is trying to send payments out for the settlement.

Starting your own business may seem a little more realistic today than it was twenty years ago; whether you want to grow an e-commerce store or use social media to market your product, service, or yourself, the online world makes it more doable than ever. But you might still need some guidance to get your business off…

I’m very happy with Nintendo at the moment. I’m only one month into building insane things in Tears of the Kingdom, and the company tells me I have two exciting Mario games coming my way: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the first new 2D Mario game in years that isn’t “New,” and Super Mario RPG, a remake of the SNES classic.

When you need a new computer, it can be tempting to splurge for the latest high-tech model. But that might not make sense for your budget, especially if you simply don’t need a lot of those fancy features. Choosing a basic laptop might be the most sensible way choice—especially if you pick up a refurbished model.

Screenshots are disabled by default in Google Chrome’s incognito mode on Android, which, while good for privacy, can be inconvenient now and then. You can use a workaround via Chrome flags to take incognito screenshots, but this trick creates a new problem—doing so exposes those incognito tabs in the “Recents” screen…

The world is an episode of Black Mirror this week. Netflix recently released a new season of the anthology show, and its in-universe streaming service looks eerily familiar. Speaking of dark, alternative futures, Marvel’s Secret Invasion came out this week too, but all anyone can talk about is the fact that the…

If you have pea gravel pathways or a river rock patio, it probably looked great when you first put it in; after a few seasons, though, it starts to look a little tired. That’s because mud, pollen, and other particulates can mix in with the gravel, changing its color and making it look grungy. To freshen up your…

Once a year, everyone I know becomes a farmer. They plan ahead, pack a picnic, grab a hat and head to a farm to pick strawberries. Flats fill up with the sweet fruit you don’t eat in the field, people gain a little appreciation for farm workers after spending the day hunched over, and we all end up making big berry…

You carry your ID with you wherever you go. It’s only right that your primary identity document reflects your gender identity. Well, as best an ID can—it’s not always easy or accurate to sum an individual up in an “F,” “M,” or a gender-neutral “X.” And for many transgender individuals, their gender is not actually…

My kitchen produces two things each year that are universally loved by my friends: sambal and fresh, fermented salsa. It did not occur to me to combine the two until I was staring down the barrel of a pint of freshly picked strawberries, which clearly only had a day left in them. On a hunch, I grabbed my sambal and…

Parkinson’s law is an observation that suggests the longer you give yourself to do something, the longer you’ll take to actually get it done. But it’s always better to get difficult things done as soon as possible, so let’s look at Parkinson’s Law and how you can overcome it.

I’m no stranger to the tempting world of Italian carbs. I’ve had flavorful pizzas, fluffy zeppoles, and strombolis stuffed to near bursting. Yet, I feel betrayed. Why did it take over 30 years for me to hear about panzerotti? And why isn’t it happening in every pizzeria, restaurant, and home kitchen world-wide? I…

This week the world was glued to coverage of the disaster of the Titan, the missing tourist submersible meant to explore the wreck of the Titanic. After a frantic, multinational search operation, an underwater drone today located a “debris field” on the ocean floor in the search zone. Sadly, it was soon confined that…
