I can tell you already what you can expect for Black Friday—when you see a good early deal for something on your list, you should jump on it, as items will sell out. Best Buy is one of the few major retailers who have already put out their plans, which includes this TCL 65" Q5 4K QLED Smart TV with a $200 discount,…

Vines climbing the side of a house can look totally charming; something about them implies there is a roaring fire inside that house and a plentiful supply of tea and biscuits.

I’m a woman on the internet. This means I’ve gotten a DM from a stranger that begins with “hello goddess...” and ends with a request to send me money. While I’ve never personally taken anyone up on this lucrative offer, the occurrences piqued my interest into the world of financial kinks.

Time to cozy up indoors: Netflix is dropping several anticipated dramas in November.

There are a lot of options on the market, but these are my picks for the best portable projectors available today.

Now that so much of our work happens on websites, it’s hard to find native apps designed for Macs.

The EVE II Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver allows you to add Bluetooth capabilities to a device that doesn’t already have it—and it normally costs $59, but has been temporarily marked down to $45.99.

AirPods are often lumped into the larger Apple ecosystem, and for good reason: They’re easy to set up and connect to an Apple device, whether it’s an iPhone, iPad or Mac.

As good as Google Maps is, not every location is perfectly mappable in the app. Sometimes, where Google thinks you want to go might be miles away from where you actually want to go (this happens often to anyone trying to find the entrance to a national park). Or a new attraction might not be listed at all. This is…

You know something has become popular once some version of it is available for purchase at Starbucks.

I’ve been making sous-vide egg bites with my immersion circulator for…

No matter how you choose to carve your pumpkins and what you choose to do with them, you’re going to end up with a mess. Pumpkin guts are—all at once—stringy and solid, wet and dry, and squishy and hard. You have to get your hands in there to scoop them out, then manually pry the seeds from the mush. You’re going to…
