See You in Time

I thought the office was haunted. The piercing whine of a cat, or a baby, coming through the vents. A machine from the construction outside the window? Oh god, probably a dying mouse in the ceiling. I brought in our deputy editor Alice to listen with me. “I h…

Autofill is a great setting if you don’t want to have to remember and type in your password every time you log in to an online account. In fact, we highly recommend you use a password manager (and take advantage of autofill features) to keep track of secure p…

If you want to achieve your financial goals, you’re going to need to have some cash set aside for unexpected expenses. Read more...

Maesure is a free, tiny web-based time tracker. Every ten minutes, Maesure asks what you’ve been doing, and you tell it. It’s a no-frills alternative to sophisticated time trackers like RescueTime. But I like it as a way to stay focused in the moment. Read mo…

Collecting art as an investment can seem like a lofty goal for those who don’t have a background in the art world. As much as you enjoy and appreciate art, you’re probably not in a financial place where buying a Picasso is an option. But that doesn’t mean you…

Here comes the Android December security update. If you’re the proud owner of a Pixel phone, it’s time to check and see if you can grab the latest fixes, patches, and features for your device. But remember: Google is rolling the update out, as always, so it’s…

Forwarding emails is an easy way to keep multiple parties in the loop on important conversations, but you used to be able to only forward one message at a time in Gmail. That’s all changing now—for better or worse, if your friends and loved ones like to blast…

If you’re willing to buy something that’s already been opened, you could potentially save yourself a ton of cash the next time you shop on Amazon, presuming shopping at Amazon is still a thing you’re doing this holiday season.

Every business you can think of is having a Black Friday sale, including car dealerships. Sure, maybe you weren’t thinking of putting a vehicle on your holiday shopping list, but the end of the year is often rumored to be a good time to buy a car. If you’ve b…

If you’re in the middle of your NaNoWriMo draft and you feel like your novel lacks the kind of sensory detail that other authors seem to include naturally—the kind of writing that makes you feel like you’re inside the story, with the characters, feeling what…

Here’s the good news: If you haven’t updated your Realtek Bluetooth drivers in some time, or don’t even know that’s a thing, you can finally update to Windows 10 version 1909—the latest and greatest iteration of the operating system as of when we published th…

Microsoft rolls out smaller Windows 10 updates fairly regularly, saving its larger batches of fixes, tweaks, and features for a twice-annual release. We just had one, in fact—the big November update, otherwise known as Windows 10 version 1909. And with that c…

There are many reasons why you might want to track some of the locations you visit in Google Maps, but maybe not all of them. You might not want your friends and loved ones (with access to your phone or account) to know you hit up the local dispensary. Perhap…

According to an investigation by Checkmarx security researchers, some Android devices may have an unpatched security flaw that an app could use to record you without your knowledge using your device’s camera and mic. Read more...

Hop on over to eBay and you’ll be able to score a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ for a mere $800, which is the lowest we’ve seen it in some time (and surely better than most Black Friday deals you’ll see for the phone, if any exist). Read more...

When you’re dealing with a major loss, it tends to affect most aspects of your life, whether or not you realize it. Sure, you expect to feel a pang of sadness the first time you go to their home after they pass away, or when you get excited about something an…

The YouTube Haiku subreddit collects good videos up to 30 seconds long. The best are sometimes funny, sometimes touching, sometimes bewildering. I’ve been a connoisseur of the genre for seven years. I’ve collected my favorites below. They’re absolute snack fo…

So you went ahead and did it: You bought into Google Stadia. The Chrome-based streaming platform, which launches this week, is still very much in its infancy and half-functional in many ways. For example, you can only stream Stadia games on a handful of devic…

Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, which, for those of us who avoid family during the holidays, means it’s a day dedicated to staring at your television or laptop’s screen for hours at a time. If you aren’t in the holiday spirit, perhaps because you’re spending …

It’s that time of year again. Spotify is here to tease you remind you about your musical habits over the past many months. Most people should have a pretty good idea of what albums and songs you’ve binged over the year—Hadestown, for me. For a friendly remind…
