While airline travel is often frustrating, you don’t have to resign yourself to a completely miserable experience. As a passenger, you have certain rights set out by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in the event of delays, cancelations and other unexpected situations. Here’s what you’re entitled to when you…

Gmail is one of, if not the most, popular email service on the planet, and for good reason: It’s free, it’s full of features, and nearly everybody uses it. If you don’t already have one of these ubiquitous addresses, or you’re looking to start fresh, it’s easy to create a new Gmail account right now.

Even after having a cameraphone in your pocket for about two decades, you probably still wonder if the nudes you’re taking are the best they can be. All nudes are good nudes (you look great!) but you can always find ways to make your steamy shots even better. Read on to take your best nudes.

Some people love hosting guests in their home. (They even specifically seek a house or apartment with a spare bedroom for such a purpose.) Some of us, however, hate the idea of opening up our homes to overnight guests—but it can be difficult to be honest about this. There’s a certain amount of societal pressure…

Streaming has made it all too easy to fire up an app, pick something to watch, and let your internet take care of the rest. But even in 2023, sometimes you want to download movies on your smartphone, tablet, and computer.

Regular, boring oven cheesecake is a real to-do. It takes hours, and there’s usually a water bath involved. I think that’s why the cheesecakes of olden times (pre-2016) were a once-per-year event, reserved for special occasions. Thankfully, the air fryer is here to make cheesecake a weekly affair. Try this…

For an app that regularly pushes new options on its users, Snapchat doesn’t explain a lot of its features. One of these is the Snapchat score, mostly referred to as Snapscore. If you want to increase your Snapscore, there are some tried and true ways to do so, but be warned: Only the company knows exactly what goes…

Let’s face it: Most smartphones look the same these days. While they all do things a little differently, most are solid slabs of glass meshed with either aluminum, steel, or plastic—most of them, that is, except for foldable phones, like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5.

Yogurt is known for being low key, with little muss and even less fuss. You open the container, then eat it right out of that same container. If your container is large, you can scoop some into a bowl. People commonly put fruit or granola on their yogurt, but the hedonists among us are making something called “the…

As versatile as rice can be, sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do with the leftovers. Since rice freezes so well, a few times a year I’m faced with a serious collection of small white rice containers. (They’re gentle reminders of my love of the Chinese restaurant on the block.) This is an excellent way to put them…

Having a profile on social media doesn’t mean you have to tolerate everyone who wants to interact with you. Instagram has a few built-in features that give you more control over who can see and interact with what you post, as well as what shows up in your feed. These tools include blocking and muting, of course, but…

We all know traveling can be expensive, but many credit cards offer rewards programs that allow you to earn points or miles that can then be transferred to airline and hotel loyalty programs. This allows you to redeem your credit card points for free flights, hotel stays, and other travel perks.

This 9-inch Heads Up Car Display screen is easy to install, and it’s on sale for $104.99 right now (reg. $289.99). It has a large screen that works with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and allows you to control music, navigation, and hands-free calls. Setup takes three steps:

When it comes to gaming, not all controllers are equal. Some feel better in the hand, while others come with unique and exclusive features. You used to be locked into using the controller that came with your console—but now, new wireless standards and adapters make it easy to swap controllers from one system to…

Several weeks ago, my oldest son wanted to set up a lemonade stand in our Phoenix neighborhood. While I appreciated his entrepreneurial spirit, he didn’t realize that his entire customer base was inside their homes, soaking up Freon. We also don’t have snow in winter or even much grass ever, so an early career in yard…

It’s hard to believe Valve released the Steam Deck almost two years ago. As an answer to true PC portable gaming, the gaming community built up a lot of hype around the Steam Deck, but among plenty of new competition, did that hype hold? Is the Steam Deck worth actually buying, or are there better options for portable…

Eggs aren’t just breakfast food. You can have eggs for any meal, like with a Spanish tortilla or Thai kai jiao, but I think it’s time we allow them to branch out into the snack category. What says “snack” more than chips and dip? Soft scrambled eggs aren’t just a fancy French-style breakfast, they’re a totally…

Onion dip does not need to be great to be enjoyable. Good or even mediocre onion dip is still better than a bowl of ranch dressing (and a bowl of ranch dressing isn’t all that bad to begin with). Still, there’s no reason to settle for mediocre or even good if you are mere moments away from greatness. Here are three…

In the mercurial soup of adolescent social lives, no one is totally immune to bullying. Even with social and emotional learning programs and eagle-eyed adults trained to recognize the signs, in the United States, about 20 percent of kids aged 12-18 experience bullying.

HEIC gets a bad rap. It’s a lightweight file format that lets you shoot high quality photos and videos without taking up nearly as much storage. However, people hate it not because they like dealing with maxed-out cloud storage, but because it isn’t compatible with certain software. No one wants to receive a photo…

Most of our Polaroid and disposable camera days are over, but you (or someone close to you) might have a box of old film slides and negatives with decades of memories. Instead of lugging an old projector from your basement, you could use the Kodak Slide N Scan to view and digitize photos, and it’s on sale for $169.97 right…

This AquaSonic Black Series toothbrush is $29.97 right now (reg. $59.95), and comes with eight replacement brush heads and a travel case. This model comes with four different cleaning modes: soft, whiten, massage, and cleaning.

As we stare down September, COVID cases (and hospitalizations) are up everywhere across the country, due to a troubling new variant called Eris. In other words: It’s time to get reacquainted with COVID testing. While you may be used to thinking of COVID tests as interchangeable, there’s a big difference between the…
