There’s something darkly funny about Lifehacker telling us we should be saying “hell no” to third-party tracking, while simultaneously serving up cookies not just from lifehacker.com, but in my case 52 other third-party domains, mostly ad networks. This feels like pandering as long as you’re propping up the same game…

Question: as someone who occasionally doesn’t finish a bottle of wine in one sitting, I’ve got a “Vacu Vin” wine sealer which does a great job of prolonging the shelf life of an opened bottle. I assume the same product would work for vermouth, given a bottle with the same sized neck? I assume vermouth goes “bad” for…

Regardless of what failsafe features one specific hub may have, this advice broadly is insane and irresponsible. I'm really disappointed in you guys. This is "Delete Your Account" level bad content.

From what I’ve been told, there’s a distinction: at a place like, say, Wal-Mart or Fry’s (I assume - they aren’t membership based, right? Don’t have ‘em here), you’re under no obligation to stop at the door to have your receipt checked, for the reasons you’ve asserted. But at someplace like Costco, where you’ve signed…

This may be good advice if you live in proximity to a store, but if you aren’t able to go there in person, then extreme YMMV. I placed an online order from Ikea recently for three items (a large cabinet and two small accessories) and it was delivered missing the entire cabinet. I had to call them, no joke, over a…

Hearing this doesn’t surprise me at all. In the Google Opinion Rewards app, I’ve been getting surveys for a while now that ask me to select which of a list of businesses I visited recently, and then if I confirm I visited one, it would ask what payment method I used. I always felt like I couldn’t fathom what they’d…

Yeah, I don’t know about their explanation at all. My understanding of why it’s problematic is essentially what you inferred. But GLAAD seemed like a credible source for an assertion that I know to be the generally recognized consensus.

For what it’s worth - this may just be a typo, but “transgendered” should be avoided in favor of “transgender” (per https://www.glaad.org/reference/transgender). Very cool news, though. 

Ah, the good ol’ “summarize a Reddit thread that itself is a summary of other Reddit threads” school of journalism.

Calling this a multitool seems like a bit of a reach, no? It’s literally just a tiny keyring bottle opener. Photographing it being used for things besides opening bottles doesn’t make it a multitool.

FedEx, for example, declined to end its NRA-member discount program, citing its legal status as a common carrier under federal law, and, therefore, being unable to “discriminate against any legal entity regardless of their policy positions or political views.”

Can I vote for both?

Consider this: The dongle is just a really affordable gadget.

Not necessarily a money grab - smoke detectors inherently have a lifespan (typically something like seven years), beyond which they’re not reliably safe to use anymore. If they managed to build in a battery that’ll last a similar length of time to the rated lifespan of the sensors, then that’s a really good way to…

Is $330 really what passes for full-on “cheap” these days? How much cheaper than the previous generation is that really? I feel like Apple’s pricing is held to such a different standard than other companies.

So wait... You’re going to swear off MacBooks [and, implicitly, switch to non Apple computers] because they discontinued a proprietary charging connector that only MacBooks used, and switched to the emerging standard that all non Apple computers are likely to move to as well?

Is there a way yet to block the stupid thing Gizmodo does where every other time I try to load the site it just navigates me to a full-screen ad with a ticker counting down the time until I’m actually allowed to go to the site?

The review from AndroidCentral (https://www.androidcentral.com/eufy-bodysense-smart-scale-simply-best) claims that this scale CAN sync to Google Fit, HealthKit, and Fitbit. Any idea who’s wrong?
