They don't call it that but that's a feature of the new U1 chip in iPhone 11 and up. 

Someone is going to read this article, sign up for a Visa/Amex, and then realize Plastiq doesn’t accept those for mortgage payments. 

Yup. I use OxyClean but the same method. No need to scrub. Temperature of water doesn’t seem to matter.

I’m looking forward to the webapp and native syncing. Google Tasks syncing is good for basic backup and emergency access without my phone but I lose a lot of the advanced settings such as recurrences based on completion date. This was bad when I changed phones and thought I could just install Tasks and log in with…

Try the autolocation tasker plugin. It does a much better job and with lower battery consumption.

Can’t say for sure this applies to you, but maybe you’ve already found the happy medium. Work like crazy some days, slack off other days and don’t feel guilty about it.

The sunk cost fallacy is one of those things often-miscategorized things, much like Alanis Morissette'sideas of irony. After multiple Lifehacker articles on this, I feel it's my duty to step in and clear things up.

I've been using Authy for a while now and love it but I'm considering switching to Duo Security for all my 2FA. I just set up 2FA for outside RDP logins on my Windows server with their app and, rather than having to type a code, I get a push notification to my phone asking if I'd like to approve the login attempt. Not…

Same fix should work, regardless of article title. It even says "if the door still won't stay open" in one paragraph.

Yup, this was a must-have for me after being used to Activator on my jailbroken iPhone. I hope they start allowing swipe left/right/down like Activator. I love having an uncluttered screen and I love the confused looks by others that are tring to operate my device.

You should probably clarify in the steps what to do if you're already jailbroken. First, of course, you need to update to IOS7. However, that will fail if you just do a regular iTunes update. The most recommended method seems to be this:

Would this conflict with my Talkatone app on my android device? I had that problem when I used Talkatone and GrooveIP because they both hook into your Google Chat account.

I guess I put the emphasis on the life part and not the hacking. I may be wrong but I think that the point of this site to most people is about "hacking" life by making things easier/better/more affordable. Here you're just hacking. There are plenty of other great sites to visit if the end goal is the simply the…

If your university is in the same country as you, it wouldn't be beneficial for getting around country-based access restrictions.

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted to set up in Tasker but I couldn't get it to work. I tried using the Secure Setting plugin but it didn't seem to be able to lock/unlock. Perhaps I was doing it right but it's not able to bypass an MS Exchange-enforced lock.

I've noticed this too. Like others pointed out, it could be that this

Barcode scanner (and probably others) on Android will autoconnect. Search for a QR generator for wi-fi settings. Kind of funny that the one OS this app supports is the one where it's completely unnecessary.

Does anyone have experience using a Google Voice number with both Obi and Talkatone? This setup has been giving me quite a bit of trouble because they both want an exclusive connection to Google Chat. I tried doing a setup where I have a secondary GV account with my Talkatone app and then fork incoming calls on my Obi…

Ha! Lifehacker should start tagging 75% of its DIY articles as #IKEAEffect.
