But they also rolled out a discounted Disney+ and Hulu ad-free combo…

If you have a lot to do every day, it might be hard to figure out how to prioritize it all. You can try to decide what’s urgent and what isn’t, build a detailed schedule, and use tech to stay focused, but sometimes it’s hard to even know where to start. If you haven’t heard of it yet, you should consider getting…

Most of us go through life pretty confident we know how to use basic products—after all, it’s not complicated to figure out how to use a Swiffer, and you don’t need a YouTube tutorial to understand the proper use of peanut butter (eat it, in case you’re wondering).

I am fanatically passionate about breakfast sandwiches. I love how customizable (and therefore deeply personal) they are; more than any other food, a person’s breakfast sandwich order tells you a lot about their character. Mine says one thing loud and clear: This bitch loves potatoes.

The little gadget was funded almost four times over on Indiegogo—it uses UVA and UVC lights to kill germs and bad smells. It’s safe to use around pets and kids, and you don’t have to…

Adding Coca-Cola to wine isn’t new–it’s common in Spain, and even Tom Hanks sips on diet “cokagne” – but could adding soda make bad wine better? Could there finally be an easy answer to rescuing that liquid trash in a bottle? I drank a fair dose of mediocre and terrible wine to find out.

With each refresh, YouTube’s desktop feed gets more cluttered, to the point of being unusable. So many videos now have clickbait titles and thumbnails, and we’ve seen so many shocked faces in these previews it doesn’t even register as anything special anymore.

If you play video games, you probably have a lot of controllers. It’s just part of the deal: Every console you buy, there’s at least one new controller to try, if not more (looking at you, Nintendo). You might even have a favorite controller of the bunch, but don’t use it as much as you’d like because it doesn’t work…

It has a refurbished grade “B” rating, meaning it may have light scuffs or scratches that don’t affect its performance. It features an A8 chip, a 7.9-inch LED…

Instead of a creamy, gooey pot of pasta and cheese sauce, you get a mass of tender noodles held together by stretchy cheese strings, and crowned with a crispy, broiled topping. It’s that topping that makes baked mac so special.

WhatsApp is slowly adding features to compete directly with more robust video-calling apps like FaceTime and Google Meet. The next time you choose WhatsApp to host your video call with up to 32 users, you’ll also find the option to share your screen, whether you’re on iPhone, Android, or even the Windows app. (No news…

Modern life in one’s home relies on one device above all else: your modem. So much of our lives revolves around connectivity—your TV streaming, your work Zooms, your email, your phone, and all the devices in your household that run on wifi. And that little box relies on electricity, which—due to being overtaxed from…

Last week, the Mattel Toy Corporation announced a line of “EcoWarrior Barbies” made with biodegradable material and patterned after famous environmentalists.
