The smallest ones are easy to carry but sound thin; the bigger ones sound better but take up more space in a bag. The JBL Grip Bluetooth Speaker, currently $77.36 on Amazon (down from $99.95), sits right in the middle. Price trackers show this is just a dollar above its lowest recorded price so far, and Amazon is also bundling 90 days of Amazon Music with the purchase, which gives you something to actually play on it right away. It is small enough to slide into a backpack pocket where a water bo…

This week, we're taking a look at goonbait and RegencyCore If you don't know what any of that even is, you're definitely in the right place, so let me break down for ya. Alysa Liu and goonbaitIn Gen Z and Gen A slang, "gooning" refers to extended masturbation without orgasm, sometimes done for the purpose of entering an altered state of consciousness. "Goonbait" is, essentially, media that exists to inspiring gooning. Speaking of goonbait, a couple weeks ago, I talked about Olympic gold medal figure skater Alysa Liu as the hero athlete of Generations Z and A. It didn't take much time for some of the weirder members of the younger generations to make it creepy. This is a…

There’s a stereotype of the phone-obsessed gym rat hogging equipment while they “just sit there and scroll on their phone.” Excuse me, I am logging my sets and trimming my training videos and, um, scrolling Reddit, and yeah I kind of got sucked into TikTok somehow? And there’s a work email, crap, it could wait until after but I’m really curious what it says. Just a sec while I open it... Yeah, I’m not the only one who can get a bit distracted during a training session. You're probably doing it too. So I've always loved this tip from powerlifting coach Claire Zai about setting a “focus” on your phone for when you’re working out. How your phone can actually help you focus …

While many of us iPhone owners just installed the recent iOS 26.3.1 bug patch, Apple is currently at work on another update altogether: iOS 26.4. This update is in beta testing, and brings new features and changes, like AI playlists for Apple Music and support for end-to-end encryption for RCS. But Apple's most recent beta for 26.4 includes something new that most iPhone users will likely enjoy: eight new emojis. These new emojis aren't necessarily Apple's creations. Instead, they're based on the Unicode Version 17.0, an emoji standard released on Sept. 9, 2025. When the Unicode Standard releases new emoji standards, it's up to developers to create their own art for thei…

Rejoice, Peloton/Garmin users—you no longer need to double log your Bike workouts, nor use third-party apps to bridge the gap between the two devices. The latest Peloton app update now lets you sync Peloton workouts to your Garmin. A previous update enabled syncing the opposite way, but now we have both.

Back in January, I wrote about Meta's plans to test subscription services for some of its platforms. The idea is to keep the current experience of each app the same (that is, free of charge), while adding new features users can access for a monthly fee. It's not a bad compromise—if you hate the idea of paying for Instagram or WhatsApp, you can keep using the apps as you always have. If you like the new features, you can pay for them. Heck, maybe Meta will make enough money from subscriptions to end its data collection business! (Hey, a guy can dream.) Now, it seems that Meta is moving forward with WhatsApp's premium subscription. According to WABetaInfo, the company is …

Apple products are notoriously expensive: The latest MacBook Air starts at $1,099, as does the iPhone 17 Pro, and while I love my AirPods Max, I strongly recommend buyers wait until they're on sale to avoid spending $549 on headphones. Apple makes good stuff, but that stuff comes at a cost. Not all of Apple's products are this expensive, mind you. The new iPhone 17e starts at $599. That's not necessarily cheap, but it isn't $1,099, either. Apple's MacBook Neo has drawn a lot of buzz by fetching the same price tag as the 17e, but also because of its education price: $499. For that price, students and educators can buy a bra…

If you use an AI-powered coding assistant like Claude Code, here's a good reason to always ensure you're copying commands from the legitimate interface: Scammers are now using cloned versions of popular tools to spread info-stealing malware through fake installation instructions—a tactic known as InstallFix.

Before the better-known Strava lawsuit against Garmin grabbed headlines last year, Suunto had actually sued Garmin first. In September, Suunto and their parent company Dongguan Liesheng quietly filed suit against Garmin over five patent infringement allegations. Garmin recently responded with a 218-page countersuit that reads less like a legal filing and more like Garmin decided it was done being polite. Why did Suunto sue Garmin?The five patents in the initial lawsuit from Suunto had to do with the following features: Golf shot tracking using an accelerometer to detect impact Respiration rate derived from an optical heart rate sensor Slot mode antenna design in wearable…

This machine offers buyers the full macOS experience, in their choice of fun new colors, for $599 ($499 for "students"). Not so long ago, Apple's cheapest laptop, the MacBook Air—long priced at $999, but increased to $1,099 with the launch of the current M5 model—felt like a good deal. Now, you can get a machine that includes all of Apple's latest Mac features for as little as half the price. Of course, the Neo isn't a MacBook Air. To get the price of a Neo down to $500 or $600, Apple had to make some concessions, like using a…

An iPhone charger here, an Apple Watch puck there, and another cable for AirPods. A single charging station like the Belkin MagSafe 3-in-1 Fast Wireless Charging Pad helps simplify things. It’s currently $39.99 at Woot, down from its original $149.99 price. The same charger is selling for about $100.58 on Amazon, and price trackers show it rarely dipping below $75.99.

The dark web has a sinister and foreboding name for a reason. This is a place where all manner of illegal and underhand activity takes place, as well as somewhere internet users can free themselves from government censorship and draconian surveillance. Getting on the dark web isn't particularly difficult, but it's not somewhere you should head without doing your research first. If you visit an unfamiliar location in real life, you'll want to make sure you know how to stay safe and make the most of your trip, and it's the same with the dark web. As such, follow these hacks and tips to maximize your chances of staying safe and getting the most out of what the dark web has t…

High-refresh-rate gaming monitors are getting faster every year, but a 480Hz OLED panel still feels like a technical flex—and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP is one such example. This 27-inch OLED gaming monitor is currently $662.36 on Amazon, down from its usual $799 price, and price trackers show that’s the lowest it has dropped so far. It sits in a very small group of monitors built around a 1440p panel with a 480Hz refresh rate, competing with models like the Sony Inzone M10S. It is designed first and foremost for high-end PC gaming, where extr…

If you're shopping online, or just trying to access certain websites, and things aren't loading properly, it's (probably) not your internet: Amazon is down. As of Thursday afternoon, Amazon services, including both Amazon.com and AWS, are having issues loading and running. You can see that from Downdetector, a site used to track user reports of issues with websites and services. (Disclosure: Lifehacker's parent company, Ziff Davis, owns Downdetector.) As of this article, Amazon.com has tens of thousands of user reports, while AWS has thousands. Prime Video, Amazon's streaming service, also has user reports at this time, though they aren't as drastic. It's not clear what'…

You probably can't do a whole lot about that until warmer weather comes, but if your house has a lawn, it’s already a good time start thinking about what you’ll need to do to whip it back into shape.

Apple's MacBook Neo is exactly the laptop many budget-conscious people have been looking for. It's priced under $500 for students ($599 for everyone else), and has decent enough specs to be a great starter laptop for most users. To make it a 'budget laptop,' though, a few corners had to be cut. As a result, the MacBook Neo is lacking a few features that you might have come to expect from a MacBook. Here are the biggest trade-offs Apple is making to hit the Neo's lower price point. No Touch ID in the base modelThe MacBook Neo's base model doesn't have a Touch ID sensor, which means you'll have to type out your passwords every time you need to enter them. Some people might …
