Setting Up Your Home Office

Runna is one of the most talked-about training apps in running communities, and Strava's acquisition of the platform earlier this year only cemented its status as the go-to tool for runners who want structure without hiring a coach. Recently, however, not all the buzz has been good. All over Reddit and TikTok, runners are blaming virtual coaches and algorithmic training programs for their shin splints, stress fractures, and various running injuries. Some blame Runna in particular for pushing runners too aggressively. The thing is, Runna isn't uniquely to blame. Running injuries are extremely common. Studies consistently estimate that somewhere between 27 and 52% percent o…

It probably comes as no surprise that government agencies have access to a lot of your data—in part because we hand some of it over to them directly, and in part because they are able to purchase it from data brokers that already exist to harvest, aggregate, and sell it to other companies. A recent report from 404 Media confirms that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is among those buying and using location data collected via ads to track users' movements. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, and a handful of other federal agencies have also purchased location data from brokers in recent years, but the internal document from the Department of Homeland Se…

Microsoft's next-gen Xbox isn't an Xbox. Or it isn't just an Xbox, anyway: While the rumored console will undoubtedly play Xbox games, "Project Helix," as it's codenamed, will reportedly also play PC titles. That's huge news for gamers who usually have to decide whether to buy a console for the convenience, or a PC for the potential. 'Xbox mode' lets you access games on your PC with a controllerBut while Project Helix is still a ways off (we won't see it until 2027, at least), Microsoft is already doubling down on merging its two major gaming platforms. As reported by PCMag, Microsoft is giving PC gamers access to the Xbox Full Screen Experience, and rebranding it "Xbox…

Let me introduce you to your good friend, sweat. Ignore the gross feel and the potential for B.O. for the moment, and think about what it does for you: When your body gets too hot, threatening to raise your core temperature over what’s healthy, little glands in your skin squeeze drops of moisture onto its surface. As soon as a breeze hits those droplets, they evaporate, taking some of your body heat away with them. This is true even during exercise. It's not the exercise that makes you sweat; exercise just raises your body heat, and it's the heat that makes you sweat. That's why you sweat without exercising on a hot day, and why you can sometimes exercise without sweatin…

Your home has a style, but that style was decided for you long before you went into a store. Those decisions were made by buyers who attend shows like The Inspired Home Show, where popular brands from around the world showcase their latest housewares to retailers, who then stock those products in the stores we shop. As a new homeowner myself, I wanted to see what's coming to stores, so I planned to attend The Inspired Home Show in Chicago from March 10-12. Suffice it to say, there's a lot to see. What is The Inspired Home Show?The Inspired Home Show is organized by the International Housewares Association, a nonprofit trade organization committed to "maximizing the succes…

While many new products can feel more like gimmicks than actually useful (TikToker Khaby Lame famously made a career out of making fun of silly "innovations"), I can't help but root for a certain kind of inventor: The ones brave enough to have a small idea that has no chance of earning millions, but might improve lives in a small way. At The Inspired Home Show, I spoke with several inventors aiming to do just that. What is The Inspired Home Show?The Inspired Home Show, held in Chicago from March 10-12, is North Ame…

The Hisense U65QF in a massive 100-inch size is currently selling for $1,497.99 on Amazon, down from $1,997, and price trackers show this is the lowest it has reached so far.

PCMag gave the TV an “outstanding” rating and named it the best budget TV of 2025. The U65QF replaces the earlier U6N, a model many buyers liked because it delivered solid picture quality without a premium price. This newer v…

If you have children under the age of 13, they will soon be able to have their own WhatsApp account for messaging and calling—but with heavy parent supervision. Users with parent-managed accounts can only message with saved contacts, and while preteens' communication will still be end-to-end encrypted and private from parents, supervising adults will be notified about certain account activity and have the ability to approve or decline requests. According to Meta, this account type is rolling out gradually and globally. How parent-managed accounts work for preteensManaged accounts for WhatsApp users under 13 are limited to calling and texting with saved contacts and group…

Tech companies really want you to start talking to their products. And sure, that makes sense for an Amazon Echo, or even ChatGPT's voice mode, but I'm not sure I need to talk to my apps. Google disagrees: The company is now rolling out "Ask Maps" to iOS and Android users in the U.S. and India, making Google Maps the latest such product to implement an AI assistant. It begs the question: Will you talk to your navigation app while out on the road? Google's pitch for Ask Maps is this: Rather than search for generic stops along your route (e.g. "coffee," "gas station," or "hotel"), you can "Ask Maps" complex questions to increase your chances of finding something specific.

Running gives you a lot of things: Stress relief, personal records, chafing—the list goes on. In fact, you can add "butter" to that list right now. Running content creator Libby Cope has gone viral not for her pace or mileage, but for what she makes along the way. Her video showing how she churns butter on a train run has racked over one million likes across Instagram and TikTok. Let's dig into the science of how this works, and why this is my favorite kind of running influencer content right now. How to churn butter while you runIn her viral videos, Cope pours heavy cream and salt into double-bagged Ziplocs, tucks the squishy dairy parcels into her running vest alongsid…

For the residents of the place known only as "the Town," that feeling of being trapped in your small hometown is literal: Once you set foot in the place, you can never leave it.

The unnamed suspect was found dripping wet and drawing detailed diagrams in the sand.

Apple is turning 50 this year. On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak officially founded Apple Computer Company. In the five decades since, the company certainly made its mark on the world, introducing product lines many of us still use today. The Mac (1985), the iPhone (2007), and the iPad (2010) are all still going strong—even if huge product lines like the iPod (2001) are no more. Apple doesn't shy away from anniversaries, and it seems the big 50 is no exception. In a press release on Thursday, the company confirmed that it would be officially celebrating 50 years of "thinking different and the innovations that have helped shape the way people connect, create,…

If you have an older Apple device that doesn't support the most current operating system, you may not receive every security update pushed to the latest iOS—or at least not at the same time. Apple has just released a patch for older devices that addresses a handful of bugs that have already been addressed in updates to newer models. Many of these have been exploited in zero-day attacks, so if you have one of the affected devices, you should ensure these updates are installed as soon as possible.

If you have an Asus router on your home network, it may have been targeted by a sophisticated form of malware capable of adding devices to a botnet and using them for criminal activity.

A friend recently took me on a sail around Santa Barbara, and I finally really understand what Christopher Cross meant when he sang, "The canvas can do miracles. Just you wait and see." Except I don't know how to do it. So I was just sitting there, not actually sailing. It's personally frustrating to feel useless on the poop deck (It's called a "poop deck," right?), so I downloaded MarineVerse Sailing Club for the Meta Quest 3, and it became my "Upgrade of the Week."
