I’m a tremendous fan of using the Dark or Night Mode whenever there’s one available. Using a darker theme makes viewing things easier on your eyes (and the eyes of those around you if you’re somewhere like a plane or bed). It can also help save your battery life since displaying black has been proven to use less juice…

If you’re headed to the airport later this week to celebrate Thanksgiving you’ll want to be careful about how you pack any goodies you plan on bringing along for the feast. The same TSA rules apply for Thanksgiving that do every other day, which means not every part of the meal can fly in your carry on.

One of the easiest ways to derail a meeting is to start talking about something off topic or to spend too much time talking about something that you don’t leave an adequate amount of time to discuss something else. And let’s face it, no one likes attending a 20-minute meeting that routinely turns into an hourlong…

Do you know what the weather is supposed to be like later this week for your kid’s soccer game? How about that picnic you have planned for Saturday? Should you start thinking about an indoor venue instead?

This week a bunch of invitations started popping up again for a “Secret Sister” holiday gift exchange. You’ve probably seen the same, or something similar, pop up in yours as well. In case you haven’t realized: it’s a scam. The Better Business Bureau issued a warning against the exchange earlier this week.

You never want to see a huge food recall due to salmonella, but you especially don’t want to see a huge food recall due to salmonella in turkey the week before Thanksgiving.

If you’re planning to hit the road this Thanksgiving, there’s a right and a wrong time to get behind the wheel. Looking at historic Google Maps data, Google just released its suggestions for when the best and worst travel times will be during Thanksgiving week in 25 U.S. metros. This year the company also took things…

Friday November 16th is National Fast Food Day. While arguably a little too close for comfort to Thanksgiving for us all, the day—like most other made up holidays—comes with a pretty healthy amount of freebies that are worth taking advantage of.

Earlier this year I finally fell down the rabbit hole that is Instagram Stories, and now I spend way too much time on Instagram. This week, the app started rolling out a new feature to combat Insta-addiction, a “Your Activity” tracker that shows you how much time you spend in the app, and lets you set limits to help…

If you haven’t signed up for the US Postal Service’s Informed Delivery service, you might want to do so now.

While Veterans Day is officially Sunday, it’s observed Monday, November 12. That means that, depending on your employer, you might have the day off work to celebrate. A good number of businesses, especially federally run ones, will also be closed for the day.

I’m a huge fan of night or dark mode and have written a ton about different apps and extensions you can use to darken up your screen. Any dark mode enthusiast will tell you about how using your device with a dark background rather than a white one will save your eyes as well as your device’s battery power. This week…

As wildfires continue to devastate parts of California, checking on friends and family in the area is often a difficult proposition. Thousands have had to evacuate their homes, and many of those evacuees are in situations where they might have limited access to the internet or power for their phones to let people know…

In addition to the obvious fire danger, all three fires are creating a substantial amount of smoke that can pose a health and safety risk to those who live nearby, even when that “nearby” in a few hundred miles from where the fire is burning. In San Francisco, for instance, the smoke smell is overwhelming at points…

Hotel safes can be great for keeping things like your passport safe when you travel. They can also be great for helping you accidentally leave things like your passport and valuables in a hotel room.

We all know a to-do list can help keep you on task. A to-don’t list can sometimes be just as helpful. The idea behind creating one is exactly what it sounds like: create a list of all the things you shouldn’t do that day.

Back in 2009, the Free Music Archive was founded as a place where artists could share their music, and listeners could download songs legally. Now, it’s shutting down—so now’s the time to download any tunes off the service you’d like to have in your own personal library.

Travel tip site The Points Guy unveiled its picking for the Best Airports in America today. Topping the list this year was Phoenix’s Sky Harbor airport, which has remained #1 on the site’s list since 2016.

The legalization of marijuana was on the ballot in four states during the midterm elections: Michigan, North Dakota, Utah, and Missouri. Michigan and North Dakota voted on whether to make marijuana recreationally legal, with Michigan passing the initiative and North Dakota ultimately voting no. Utah and Missouri voted…
