Assemble this casserole the night before for easy, stress-free holiday mornings.The combination of chocolate-hazelnut spread and cherries is a crowd-pleasing flavor.Brioche or challah bread yields a rich, tender texture in every bite. This recipe started as a Christmas surprise for my mom, who can’t resist chocolate, hazelnuts, and cherries. What began as a fussy—but unbelievably delicious—stuffed French toast with kirsch-spiked cherry sauce eventually evolved into a make-ahead Christmas morning favorite, especially with my nieces. The first time I saw their eyes light up after that first bite, I knew I was locked in to this tradition for life. These days,…
Search marketers are starting to build, not just optimize. Across SEO and PPC teams, vibe coding and AI-powered development tools are shrinking the gap between idea and execution – from weeks of developer queues to hours of hands-on experimentation. These tools don’t replace developers, but they do let search teams create and test interactive content on their own timelines. That matters because Google’s AI Overviews are pulling more answers directly into the SERP, leaving fewer clicks for brand websites. In a zero-click environment, the ability to build unique, useful, conversion-focused tools is becoming one of the most practical ways search…

Apple is making it a little easier to use third-party devices with iPhones in order to comply with Europe’s Digital Market Act (DMA), MacRumors reported. For iOS 26.3, Apple’s devices will support third-party proximity pairing and notifications in Europe only, according to the latest beta notes. That will make it a bit easier to connect devices like Sony headphones or receive notifications from an iPhone on Wear OS smartwatches — provided manufacturers support the new feature.”The DMA creates new opportunities for developers to bring to market innovative products and services in Europe,” an EU spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal.…

In this week’s Ask An SEO, Bre asks: “What is the threshold between keyword stuffing and being optimized? Is there a magic rule for how often to use your main keyword and related keywords in a 2,000-word page? Should the main keyword be in the Headers AND the body in the same section?” Great question! There is no such thing as “being optimized” when it comes to keywords and repetitions. This is similar to looking at “authority” scores for domains. The optimization scores you get are measurements based on what an SEO tool thinks gives a domain trust, and not…
NotebookLM is easily my favorite AI tool, and it has virtually no competition. But there are one or two contenders for its throne. Microsoft has its own answer to NotebookLM locked under a Copilot license, for one thing. And another project exists that’s impressive, private and not owned by a big tech company. Enter Open Notebook. CNETNotebookLM is an “AI research tool” as Google calls it, but its flexibility lends itself to many names. It’s great at breaking down complex topics into information that’s palatable and easy to understand, making it perfect for school, work or creative brainstorming. To get started,…
Your home address may be more vulnerable than you think on the web. Catalogues of names and addresses are frequently traded and sold by everyone from banks to government agencies, which is how they often fall into the hands of advertisers and lead to junk mail. Even worse, if you are trying to avoid giving out your home address for privacy or safety reasons, chances are good that a quick Google search can provide way too much information about where you live. That could even lead to problems with burglars or identity theft — adding more reasons to keep your…
[Submitted on 18 Dec 2025] View a PDF of the paper titled A Solver-in-the-Loop Framework for Improving LLMs on Answer Set Programming for Logic Puzzle Solving, by Timo Pierre Schrader and 4 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The rise of large language models (LLMs) has sparked interest in coding assistants. While general-purpose programming languages are well supported, generating code for domain-specific languages remains a challenging problem for LLMs. In this paper, we focus on the LLM-based generation of code for Answer Set Programming (ASP), a particularly effective approach for finding solutions to combinatorial search problems. The effectiveness of LLMs…
As a reluctant doomsday prepper and eager vanlifer, Dometic’s battery-powered Go Faucet has, for the last few years, played a central role in my bougie bug-out kit and my camping rig’s water system. So it took me all of two minutes with Dometic’s new Recon 360 Faucet to realize it’s an upgrade in every single way that matters — and then confirmed after a week of testing it.As to the upgrades, the Recon 360 Faucet ditches the easy-to-miss touch surface for real mechanical buttons. One button produces a standard water flow to brush your teeth or fill a glass, and…
