Saying “my back hurts” is a bit like saying “my car is making a noise.” It may be serious, or it may be nothing, and only a professional will know for sure. But if you have back pain, especially in your lower back, you’re not alone: By some estimates, 75% of us will have an achy lower back at some point in our lives, often without any obvious cause. I cannot diagnose your back pain over the internet. That said, I can tell you about common reasons for back pain, and provide general strategies that can help you feel less achy. Back pain doesn’t always mean you’re injuredWe tend to assume that pain is a sign that some part of our body is damaged and needs fixing. But that’…

I used to keep multiple notebooks at the ready for this purpose, but they would invariably get lost, get messy or damaged, or just be too annoying to keep organized. I switched to using apps, but I never built the muscle memory to keep it consistent, and opening a phone has never been good for my productivity. Then I learned about the Rocketbook Core reusable smart notebook. I tried it out, and now it has replaced all my productivity apps and my paper notebooks—and the best part is, it's super affordable…

Ever since our house flooded in the middle of the night (though thankfully before we fell asleep), my wife and I have been diligent about setting up water alarms all over the house, so we'll receive crucial warning the moment something leaks or backs up. Well, the other night, the alarm under the kitchen sink went off while the dishwasher was running—and, sure enough, there was water gushing out of the sink drain. Luckily, I was able to turn off the water and clean everything up before it totally ruined my cabinets and floors. I started my investigation into the problem, and about three seconds later, it was obvious: My s…

What do you primarily use Spotify for? Enjoying music? Keeping up with your favorite podcasts? Listening to audiobooks? Well, the next time you open it (at least on Android) you might just use it to shop for a book—not just an ebook, mind you, but a physical book. Spotify is officially a bookseller As reported by TechCrunch, Spotify is now selling physical books on its Android app to users in the U.S. and the U.K., with plans to roll out the feature to iPhones next week. The company first announced the initiative back in February, revealing that it was partnering with Bookshop.org to facilitate the transactions.

Since early Thursday morning, Bluesky has been experiencing intermittent downtime. It's not unusual for a platform to go through outages, of course. If you check in with Downdetector every now and then, you'll see how often users of websites big and small report issues with the service. In most cases, some bug or small issue has gummed up the works behind the scenes, and it doesn't take long for the platform's engineers locate the problem and issue a fix: downtime over. But that doesn't seem to be the case with Bluesky—at least, not this time. Bluesky was hit with a DDoS attackOn Thursday at 7:47 p.m., Bluesky posted an update on its official Bluesky page. The post says …

Earlier this month, Nikkei Asia reported that the ongoing memory crisis was not slowing down anytime soon. RAM supply is currently in extreme demand, as AI companies are scooping up the hardware to power their ever-growing data centers. Unfortunately, there are only so many memory manufacturers in the world, and only so many resources available to actually manufacture those chips. There are really only three key players—SK Hynix, Micron Technology, and Samsung—and while all are ramping up production as much as possible, it doesn't appear to be enough to meet demands for the immediate future. Samsung can't meet memory demand this yearNow, Samsung is officially confirming a…

This Amazon Big Spring Sale deal on a TV is remarkable: A Hisense 32" LED television for $74.99—that's cheaper than dinner and drinks in most U.S. cities.

RAM, short for random access memory, is the high-speed, short-term storage that allows computer programs to quickly access the information they need—it's a crucial component of nearly every electronic device we rely on every single day.

Last month, news broke about "DarkSword," a malware kit that makes it easy for hackers to scrape passwords, emails, crypto wallets, and more from your iPhone. You don't have to do much to put yourself in harms way, either: Visiting a malicious website is all it takes for DarkSword to get to work, which makes it particularly dangerous. It's not totally clear what DarkSword's risk is to the average user. Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) says it identified "multiple commercial surveillance vendors and suspected state-sponsored actors" using the malware against targets in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, and Ukraine, appearing as if the victims were highly-specific.

As a crime procedural, it's a bit more Special Ops: Lioness than Nine Perfect Strangers, but the era of Kidman domination demands variety, so now we get this series based on the long-running (29 books and counting) Kay Scarpetta series from Patricia Cornwell that follows the eponymous forensic pathologist. She's joined by Jamie Lee Curtis as her sister, Dorothy, and Bobby Cannavale as a forensic operations specialist, which is a job that I definitely know what it is.
