Ice cream cake is something I usually outsource—mainly because I hate baking, but also because Carvel makes a fine product. I do, however, love customization, almost as much as I love a frozen Sara Lee pound cake (try it waffled). The Pioneer Woman combines both of those things in her layered ice cream cake recipe,…

applThe next time you forget where you kept your Apple Watch and want to find it fast, you can actually use your iPhone to ping it. Until now, you could ping your Apple Watch using the Find My app, but that is more geared toward times when you’ve lost the watch or if it’s been stolen. But for all the times when your…

Prime Day might be over (for now), but other stores are still taking advantage of the deal-scoring frenzy so many are still feeling. If you missed out on Amazon’s sales (or weren’t able to find what you wanted), you might have better luck at Walmart and Target, which still have their own Prime-Day-esque deals going on…

Summer’s bounty initially inspires one to showcase seasonal fruit with strawberry shortcakes and blueberry pies. That inspiration is soon replaced with desperation. That fruit needs to be used by yesterday, and you still haven’t finished all that pie. By making fruity corn salsa, you can use summer fruits and…

Air travel may have felt luxurious and fun at some point in the distant past, but for most people it’s been a steadily worsening experience for decades—and there’s every reason to believe we haven’t hit bottom yet. Shrinking seats, vanishing amenities, and increasing incidents of ragey passengers ruining everybody’s…

If you don’t need a high-end tablet, there’s no reason to pay for a new one. High-spec mobile devices are everywhere, but if you’re just going to stream a few movies or check your email on a screen that’s more comfortable than your phone, there’s no point to dropping bank on hardware you won’t use. Instead, go for an…

Baked potatoes are a classic steakhouse side, but load them up with enough stuff, and they make a deeply satisfying meal (and help you cut down on food waste). Until recently, I’d split my hot potato with a fork, stabbing it with the tines in a zig zag pattern, then pressing then ends with tongs to reveal a craggy…

Sandwiches are the ideal casual handheld meal. They require no plate and fill you up, making them perfect for a picnic at the beach or park. Well, except for all of the components that get weird in the hot sun, like meat, poultry, fish, and dairy. Instead of skulking away to the beach with a sad sack of pretzels, make…

The phrase “artificial Intelligence” was coined by pointy-heads at MIT in 1955. Back then, it referred to an obscure field of computer science devoted to then-hypothetical programs that could engage in tasks that “require high-level mental processes such as: perceptual learning, memory organization, and critical…

If you need to rise at 4 a.m. to make it to work on time, and your partner has an afternoon shift, you risk waking them up early alongside you. But technology now allows us to have better solutions to this problem—and here are three of the best.

To become a truly savvy traveler, even the best deals on luggage can only get you so far. Sure, any rookie can effectively pack a suitcase. But some of us travelers are willing to go the extra mile. It takes dedication and craftiness to, say, transform your pillow into a secret carry-on bag.

How many times have you heard that it’s best to eat “whole” foods or to avoid “processed” ones? There’s even a system that designates some foods as “ultra-processed,” which calls to mind chemical concoctions made in a lab that we should do our best to avoid. But as I’ve written before, the degree to which a food is…

Have you ever waited until other people placed their order to make sure you’re making the right decision? If so, you might have what’s being called “menu anxiety.” And according to recent research by OnePoll, one in three Americans have it. 

When navigating the current hell that is our housing market, it’s natural to have financial tunnel vision for things like the down payment and steep mortgage rates. However, in addition to all the major upfront costs, buying a home is also full of hidden money pits that could trap you down the line. When I pitched…

Most of us have been trained, over our lives, to generally prefer new things over the old and the busted. And in many cases, buying new makes sense. New things sometimes last longer, have modern features, and often come with warranties or service plans that make keeping them in good shape easier. Plus, they don’t have…

The claim that “money doesn’t buy happiness” has always been contested, and for good reason: If you don’t have the money to meet your basic needs, then it’s lack will certainly cause misery. The relationship between money and happiness has become more tenuous across academics as well, with a number of studies coming…

Reddit has crushed the biggest protest in the site’s history, and some of our favorite third-party Reddit apps no longer work. Even if you didn’t really need any of the features these apps offer, many of them allowed you to browse Reddit without looking at any of its promoted posts. You may want to continue browsing…

Gossip-y parts of the internet have been chattering all week about the recent release of text messages purported to be between actor Jonah Hill and his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady, a surfer and a law student. It’s all very messy, but if you’re in the mood for rooting around in other people’s emotional laundry hampers,…

There are innumerable VPNs on the market, but they generally have monthly or yearly subscription fees. Free VPNs exist, but their abilities are limited (and we generally don’t recommend them). Deeper Network has two options for VPN hardware that can stay in your home or go with you when you travel: The Deeper Connect…
