Don’t get me wrong, I love meat. But there are some days when eating it can feel a little too heavy, and there are others when I just don’t want to be bothered cooking it. Those days happen at least once or twice a week, so I find myself browsing for easy vegetarian dinner recipes quite often. In the winter months, I tend to gravitate towards nourishing Indian and Thai curries that warm me from the inside out, but I also crave pizza and veggie burgers from time to time. With a list as varied as ours, there’s something for…
The rise of compact digital cameras and high-quality cameras built into your phone meant that traditional analog film photography faded almost into nonexistence. But the “film look” trend has soared on Instagram and TikTok, and there’s no better way to get an authentic analog photography look than to actually shoot on film. I’ve already covered the best types of film cameras to choose, where to buy them, and what film to use, so here I’ll take you through the key things you need to know to actually capture your first images. I’ll also walk you through the process of getting your…
If you took a bunch of photos and videos during the holidays, your phone is probably running low on storage. Now what? You might be tempted to just upload all your files to the cloud — but if you do that, you’ll end up paying a pretty penny. Zooey Liao/CNETCloud storage didn’t used to be expensive. When Google Photos debuted in 2015, it promised free, unlimited storage. I happily uploaded all my photos and videos, knowing they were safe in the cloud and accessible from anywhere. This story is part of 12 Days of Tips, helping you make the most…

As more applications have been released, it feels like the fight for screen space is filled with unnecessary clutter. We often have status bars, background processes, or media players running, but really don’t need to look at them. What’s cool is that a lot of software we rely on daily can run completely without a GUI. When an app runs headless, it offloads the heavy job of rendering the entire user interface. This is so useful that there are some applications I wouldn’t want to use without headless mode, and you may not have realized that this option exists. If…
Key Takeaways Canola oil comes from a single source, while vegetable oil is a blend of various oils.Both oils are neutral, affordable, and versatile for frying, baking, and sautéing.Canola oil has more heart-healthy fats than vegetable oil, making it slightly healthier. Even when I go to the grocery store with a menu in mind and a list in hand, I get confused the moment I reach the shelf of oils—there are so many kinds! And when the time comes to pick between canola oil or vegetable oil, as much as I use both for everyday cooking, I couldn’t specifically tell…
The most immediately striking difference is that Hyperkin’s product swaps the typical Xbox approach of asymmetric thumbsticks for the PlayStation’s horizontal layout. It also separates the D-pad (it’s one piece inside the pad, but splits its cardinal directions so each appears to be its own button), while the ABXY face buttons are spaced slightly further apart. Where the DualSense’s touchpad would sit, we have the Xbox home, menu, view, and share buttons, all blended in rather smartly. An LED ring around the home button just about echoes the lights running the periphery of the DualSense’s touchpad, although it’s really more…
The long holiday weekend has arrived, and you will need things to entertain you and your family. As always, Netflix obliges. People around the world are happily binging Netflix series by the boatload over the holidays, with lots of options from every genre, from comedy to drama to documentary. These seven shows are among the most popular right now. Man Vs Baby On the lighter side In 2022, Netflix released Man vs. Bee, a comedy series about a man named Trevor (Rowan Atkinson, a British comedy legend known for stuff like Blackadder and Mr. Bean) having trouble getting rid of…

We taste-tested six brands of frozen pancakes you’re likely to find at your local supermarket. To find the very best one, we sampled each without knowing which brand was which. Our winner is 365 by Whole Foods Buttermilk Pancakes, but we also crowned two runners-up. Every Sunday, my family enjoys a stack of freshly made pancakes with crisp, streaky bacon and plenty of maple syrup. While I always make pancakes from scratch when I’m cooking for my family of three, that’s not practical when I’m hosting a large breakfast or brunch gathering. I’ll whip up a few make-ahead items—think sheet-pan…
