But however you take notes, there’s an app out there that can handle all your weird quirks, obscure preferences, and note-taking needs. You just might need to look for it.But first, the big…
World, the biometric ID verification project co-founded by Sam Altman, released the newest version of its app today, debuting several new features, including an encrypted chat integration and an expanded, Venmo-like capability for sending and requesting crypto.

Soups, stews, stir-fries, pastas, salads, and gratins are among my favorites, but simply roasting them is the most repeated recipe, and they come out delicious every single time. Given my love affair with roasted roots, I’ve come up with plenty of ways to elevate this simple dish. However, my absolute…
