Since true wireless earbuds came on the scene, I have reviewed plenty of them. Over the last several years, I’ve consistently reviewed a different pair every month. From sports earbuds to HIFI buds, solar-powered buds, bone conduction, wraparound, and clip-style, they have all made their way to my ears as I listen at home and on the go. Some buds excel in sound quality; others at noise-cancelling. A few of them boast incredible battery life, offer tons of sound and touch-control personalization features in a companion app, or employ design or technical enhancements that set them apart from the pack.…
Amazon This rice cooker does all the measuring for you. Fill the reservoir with water, add rice (or other grains or beans), and then the machine will dispense the correct amount of water and start cooking. When I tested it, I particularly liked that I could choose my texture preference: soft, regular, or firm. You can delay the start by up to 20 hours, and the Keep Warm feature keeps rice toasty, not scorched. I almost can’t believe how deep this discount is—$100 off. Serious Eats

Timing can make or break many things: Heating leftover pizza in the microwave, delivering a punchline for a joke, canceling a free trial — and it’s no less important when it comes to the best time to post on Twitter.OK, OK: Posting your tweets at the right time might not be as critical as, say, preventing soggy pizza, but it’s still an important consideration when it comes to your social media marketing strategy.I hear what you’re thinking: X no longer has a chronological feed — how can the time you post matter so much when X’s algorithm is in the driver’s seat?Posting times…
Apple’s iPhone 17 came and went and while we certainly love the iPhone 17 Pro and its vibrant cosmic orange color, I can’t help but be disappointed that the long-rumored foldable iPhone Flip wasn’t part of the company’s September launch event. Most Android phone-makers, including Samsung, Google, Motorola, OnePlus, Xiaomi and Honor are multiple generations into their own folding phone lineups, and it’s beginning to feel like Apple is late to the party. That might be a problem. Apple dominates in the premium phone category, but foldables — which fit into the premium space in terms of price — are already…
Now that it’s officially the holiday season, the Aldi Finds aisle (aka the “Aisle of Shame”) is absolutely packed with seasonal snacks, festive treats, holiday décor, and gift-worthy homewares. And while Aldi may be known for look-alikes and copycats that rival the bestsellers, the Finds aisle often includes name-brand items at a competitive price. Recently, Aldi fans could score cans of Olipop in the Finds aisle, and eagle-eyed shoppers have even spotted La Colombe iced coffees. Now, the grocery store is ringing in the holidays with a new Aldi Find from a beloved candy brand, and it may just put…
Editor’s note: Black Friday doesn’t officially take place until Friday, November 28th; however, if you want to shop ahead of time, we’ve rounded up the best early Black Friday deals you can already get.If you have an iPhone, the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch for you. But there was only one Apple Watch when the smartwatch launched in 2015. A decade later, you’ve got three flavors to choose from: the entry-level Watch SE, the standard Series, and the rugged Ultra. Each appeals to a different demographic and set of needs, but good news: I’ve tested every Apple Watch dating…
Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is an unapologetically American tradition, larger than life and as beloved as it is eclectic, contradictory and utterly perplexing. Nothing signifies gratitude to friends and family quite like a procession of 34 balloons, 4 balloonicles, 28 floats, 14 specialty units, 33 clown groups and 11 marching bands, themed primarily around film and TV characters… and candy, toys and commercials.The 2025 edition will incoporate seven new floats, including one carrying a Demogorgon in a nod to Stranger Things season 5, and five new balloons, depicting PAC-MAN, Buzz Lightyear and more, which will float along the familiar path from…
If I had to rank every item in the fridge in terms of fussiness, raspberries, buttermilk, and thawed meat would be up near the top. Wait just a half day too long to make use of these grocery staples and they grow curdled, moldy, rotten, or worse. A good block of cheddar cheese, meanwhile, is pretty low maintenance and can sit around for quite a while without diminishing in flavor or quality. But there are a few tricks to keeping it as fresh as possible—and there’s one thing you should never do with cheese: “You don’t want to freeze a…
