Do you think you could do a better job as a personal digital assistant than Siri? Now you can put it to the test: Personal Voice is a new accessibility feature in Apple’s iOS 17 that uses AI to clone your voice then integrates it with iOS’s Live Speech system to let you “speak” through Apple and third-party apps.

While there’s no single program that can prevent identity theft, Norton 360 and LifeLock are good options if you’re looking for antivirus software and identity theft protection, and right now you can get your first year of Norton 360 Standard and LifeLock Identity Advisor for $24.99 on two devices (reg. $109.99).

For some people, opening an empty mailbox can be a relief—receiving no mail is better than getting junk—but an unusually empty mailbox can actually be a sign of identity theft. In 2021, 36,000 changes of addresses were flagged as suspicious; of those, some were identified as fraudulent, according to KPRC 2 News:…

When it comes to meat substitutes like those made by Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, I’ve noticed people a tendency to think of them as packaged, complete products, like frozen pizza rolls or chicken nuggets. Just cook, eat, et voila, not even the most discerning meat eater can tell they are eating—gasp—an imposter!

This 3-in-1 cable can charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch at the same time, and it’s on sale for $17.99 (reg. $34.99) right now. So instead of using three charging heads and cables, you could just plug this 3-in-1 cord.

There are countless recipes for French toast out there–and there’s about to be another one. This one might, however, be the last recipe you ever need. Besides the bread, this recipe calls for two ingredients, and strangely, you can have any flavor you want without adding an extra component. That is, any flavor you can…

I, like so many millennials, am a big fan of instant gratification, and am always looking to hack, streamline, or otherwise speed up the process of cooking delicious food. There is, however, one tasty treat that is always going to take its sweet, caramelized time: the onion.

Packing a lunch to eat at the office saves you significant amounts of money and, depending on what you pack, it can even save you time. Sure, you can brown-bag it, but investing some of the money you’re saving in a quality lunchbox can help take your to-go meals to the next level. But the right lunchbox for you…

While macOS has a setting to automatically switch between light and dark mode, it isn’t great, so many Mac users turn to NightOwl. The app lets you toggle dark and light mode based on a variety of triggers, keep certain apps in light mode all the time, and switch between modes using hotkeys.

You might have simple needs from a tablet. If you don’t need the features or speed of a brand-new iPad, you can get this refurbished 2013 iPad Air with 16GB of storage for $149.99 (reg. $499). The refurbished model comes with a grade “B” rating, which means it can come with some minor scuffs or scratches that don’t…

When I open YouTube these days, it’s mostly a mess. Sure, the videos they recommend me to watch vaguely resemble the type of content I’m interested in. But for the most part, I scroll past most of the noise until I see something half-way decent to click on. More often than not, the videos I enjoy watching most on…

As the current summer season winds down and memories of sun-soaked days and tranquil beach escapes linger, it might seem counterintuitive to start planning for next year’s summer travel. However, if you already know you’ll be taking a big trip in summer 2024, it’s worth taking a proactive approach now. And it’s not…

If you’ve ever heard the word “kanban,” you probably remember it, since it is inarguably fun to say. “Kanban,” it turns out, is more than a fun word—it’s a system for scheduling tasks in a highly productive way. It’s a visual method for determining what you need to do, what your team needs to do, and what your…

It’s not your imagination: Finding a job is harder than ever. Not necessarily because of a lack of jobs, but because the interview process has become what scientists call awful. It begins with the requirement that you upload your résumé and then replicate all that information in a wonky online form; and leads you…

Drones aren’t just for super tech-savvy people anymore, or those with big wallets. Whether you want to capture aerial videos or just fly them around for fun, you can find pretty decent, cheap drones nowadays—like this best-selling drone that’s on sale: you can get two for $149.99 (reg. $398).

At some point in your life, you’ll find yourself faced with chopping up a giant melon. Strawberries and kiwis are good practice, but your paring knife skills will leave you ill-equipped for taking down a watermelon, honeydew, or pineapple.

When it comes to effectively cutting up large fruit for the first time, and for …

As senior health editor Beth Skwarecki once said, you can’t avoid “forever chemicals” in your life (they’re already in 45% of our water supplies). You can, however, lower your exposure by following Beth’s advice, like filtering your air, checking ingredient labels, avoiding certain foods, and probably most…

I don’t think most of the people coming up with viral cottage cheese “hacks” actually like cottage cheese. If they did, they would just eat it. Cottage cheese is already pretty perfect on its own: salty and creamy, with a wonderful lactic tang. My personal favorite cottage cheese hack is to scoop it into my mouth,…

If you’re a new fan of Star Trek because Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has you hooked, welcome to the club, nerdlinger! Season two of SNW ends this week, so if you have a Star Trek itch, scratch it with Star Trek: The Original Series. SNW creatively goes where no Trek has gone before, but the original series is the…

Not all yards (or budgets) are built for beautiful landscaping, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing outdoor space. There are plenty of ways to upgrade your backyard without planting or growing anything.

I have not seen the Barbie movie yet, but I have (somewhat unintentionally) made a Barbie Egg. It’s like a normal fried egg, except bright pink—almost magenta, really—with the slightly sweet, subtly sour, earthy flavor of pickled beets.
