A 2K HD rotating webcam, a Kodak pocket-sized projector, a 2-pack of smart plugs, a digital air fryer, Etude House water tints, sets of Huckberry Onsen Bath Towels, and a Maono cardioid condenser microphone lead Sunday’s best deals.Read more...

If you’ve ever finished watching a movie and wished you had something similar lined up next, but aren’t exactly sure what that is, there’s a website that can help. It’s called Cinetrii, and it does more than your average “what to watch next” feature on streaming services. We found it, like many of our favorite things,…Read more...

It appears as though we are currently living in the golden age of contests marketed as “dream jobs,” with new opportunities being announced regularly. The latest one comes from Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold, which posted its listing for a new CEO—that’s Chief Exploration Officer—earlier this week. But this one doesn’t just…Read more...

With the country currently dealing with being on fire and under water in the midst of a pandemic and the lead up to a presidential election, things like awards shows may (understandably) not be on our radar. But it’s September, and the 72nd Emmy Awards are coming up—tonight, to be exact. Here’s what to know about this…Read more...

Whether you have a sprawling outdoor garden, or a few potted plants on your windowsill, making sure the plants are properly watered is one of the most basic (and important) parts of keeping them alive. But when, exactly, should you do your watering? Does it even matter? When are your plants the thirstiest? As it turns…Read more...

A Dyson HP01 Pure Hot + Cool desk purifier, sets of Huckberry Onsen Bath Towels, Beats Solo Pro headphones, a 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, a Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner, a 2-pack of hand sanitizer bottles, some organic USDA certified CBD oil, and IT Brush Bath purifying makeup brush cleaner lead…Read more...

Over the past six months, discussions surrounding COVID travel options have primarily focused on the safety of flying, and the return of the road trip. But where does that leave people who primarily travel via train or bus? We’re not talking about safety issues on mass transit (though that is important to consider),…Read more...

Remember back in March and early April when we were all panic-buying supplies to prepare for spending a few weeks hunkered down in our homes? Our new lockdown lifestyle seemed like something we’d live through for a period of time, and then life—including the summer—would resume, mostly as usual. At this stage, summer…Read more...

The purpose of an investment policy statement is to turn your investing strategy into a measurable plan. It may protect you from emotional decisions sparked by fear and anxiety, and can serve as your roadmap for future choices for what to do with your money, regardless of what’s happening in the stock market. Here’s…Read more...

We all get a ton of junk in the mail, whether credit card applications, insurance packets, or a 60-page retirement fund report for the lingering 401(k) from a job you had 10 years ago. Thankfully, deciding what you need to keep and what you can safely shred is simple. And depending the type of documents you’re…Read more...

If you’ve ever been curious about TikTok or WeChat, you only have a few more days to download them before the apps are removed from Apple’s App Store and Google Play for U.S. users. Come Sunday, Sept. 20, they’ll both be gone.Read more...

I’m usually one to suggest that it’s always worth installing a new beta of an operating system because, hey, why not? Sure, you might sacrifice a little stability, but you’ll get to play with new features before everybody else. You’ll also be able to acclimate yourself with new OS changes over a longer period of time,…Read more...

Three days ago, early in the morn, I got a text from a friend alerting me to the existence of the Dewgarita, the margarita that’s made with Mountain Dew. The drink is available at Red Lobster (and apparently tastes great with Cheddar Bay Biscuits).Read more...

As Jalopnik’s resident car buying expert and professional car shopper, I get emails. Lots of emails. I’ve decided to pick a few questions and try to help out. This week we are discussing spotting online car scams and buying a car at the end of the lease.Read more...

Take a look at that photo above. Would you say that’s myriad dirty rubber duckies? Or do you see a myriad of dirty ducks? Up until recently, I would’ve avoided the question entirely by calling it something less controversial, like a shit-ton of old ducks. The former use has always sounded pretentious to me, but I’d…Read more...

No one knows what a socially-distanced Halloween is going to look like, but Hulu isn’t letting that stop it from loading October’s streaming schedule with a ton of spook-’em-ups, from new originals to a grab bag of scary movies of years past.The biggest draw for genre buffs is probably going to be Clive Barker’s Books…Read more...

With fewer than 50 days until the election, there is no better time to compare candidates—including those at the federal, state, and local levels—to see how each one may impact your wallet. Here’s a closer look at Joe Biden’s tax policy and how much it may cost your family.Read more...

I’m nostalgic for many things old tech. I miss the Game Boy Advance SP’s nifty clamshell design. I long for my Motorola Droid’s slide-out keyboard, despite the fact I’m probably faster at typing on my touch screen at this point. Read more...

Ever done pushups or burpees in the middle of a run? Stay with me here. We’re going to make our runs a little harder, but I promise you this will also make them more fun. Read more...

I took my son to a doctor’s appointment yesterday. It was an appointment with a new doctor, a specialist we’d never seen before, and the nurse took a moment to pause and look me straight in the eyes. “So,” she said. “How’s school going?”Read more...

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X launch in a few short weeks, and an abundance of gamers are trying to secure their preorders ahead of what’s sure to be a sparse holiday supply. It’s easy to get caught up in the next-gen hype, confusion, cynicism, and anxiety. Here’s a secret, though: You might be better off…Read more...

There’s nothing quite like a hot and juicy cheeseburger fresh off a backyard grill—unless it’s a free or discounted cheeseburger someone else makes for you. If you’ve been craving one lately, you’re in luck: Today is National Cheeseburger Day, which means burger joints both local and national have special offers, that…Read more...

I’m a passionate person, and one of my many passions is breakfast sandwiches. They’re one of those rare foods that taste good no matter your price point. A cheap BEC with the thinnest, flimsiest bacon and American cheese on white toast is just as transcendent as a perfectly poached egg with house-cured bacon and…Read more...

I’m going to cheat a little bit for this week’s Tech 911 Q&A at Lifehacker. I didn’t get this question sent in via email, as is typical, but I was asked it by a friend, since AirPods Pro are the talk of the town this week thanks to Apple’s big iOS 14/iPadOS 14 update.Read more...

In the time of coronavirus, there is some money advice that no longer applies. Our parents’ generation may have passed down rules of thumb with good intentions—but some of these pearls of wisdom may not fit the challenges of the modern era, so here are some common rules you may want to break. Read more...

As much as I love the idea of getting up from my desk to do a bit of exercise, I’m bad at actually following through on those intentions. I recently installed a Chrome extension called WFH Wakeup (also available as a Mac app) that makes it easy. Read more...

Losing a wallet can be nerve-racking, but having a plan for replacing the contents of your wallet can help make it a minor headache instead of a disaster. If you have the luxury of time, the first thing you should do is also the most obvious: retrace your steps, call any places you may have left it, and hope for a…Read more...

It has been almost a year since Baby Yoda (not his—her?—real name) first graced our screens at the end of the series premiere of the Disney+ Star Wars spinoff The Mandalorian, and the internet has never been the same. Through a worsening pandemic, economic turmoil, political upheaval and the run-up to an election that…Read more...

I was checking the air quality at my California abode the other day, and the first website I went to said the Air Quality Index was a lovely 40 or so. That seemed strange, given how smoky it was outside—so I tried another site: 400+. That also seemed strange, since it didn’t quite look a Dune trailer outside, either.Read more...

Sony finally announced its date, and the PlayStation 5 launches November 12 in the US and several other countries. It comes in two versions: the main $499 console which can play games on disc, and a disc drive-less “Digital Edition” for $399 that only plays downloaded games. It’s a neat looking device with a decent…Read more...

If your area has poor air quality right now, you may have heard that it’s not a great idea to vacuum your home. Then again, vacuuming is also a tool that can help get dust and allergens out of your house, suggesting that sometimes it’s a good thing. There’s truth to both, so here’s what you need to know. Read more...

After a few weeks—or, really, a few days—of overseeing their kids’ online classes once they started in the spring, many parents found a new level of appreciation for their teachers. Being in charge of a (literal or virtual) room of students is an exhausting, usually thankless job at the best of times. But as it turns…Read more...

Aside from a modest amount of taxidermy, I’m not really a big collector of things. I do, however, hoard certain consumables, including salt and sauce packets. I’ve already told you all about my salts, so let’s discuss the sauce.The packets are kept in the packet drawer in my kitchen, arranged in neat little rows for…Read more...

The pandemic has created worldwide economic challenges, and colleges and universities are feeling the strain. While only a few schools have permanently shuttered, experts say there could be more in the future. If this happens while you’re enrolled, you may have two options: transfer credits, or apply for discharge.…Read more...

When my partner proposed in 2018, I knew instantly that our wedding would take place on October 10, 2020. It absolutely had to be that date, because I love numerology and early October would offer the most reliable weather options for what I hoped would be an outdoor wedding—not too hot, not too cold—and after two…Read more...

It’s so important for our children to see themselves represented in the world around them, from those within their own community and characters portrayed on film, to the very toys they play with. But for kids who have hearing aids, cochlear implants, a cleft lip, a tracheostomy, feeding tubes, or surgery scars, it can…Read more...

A sad reality for many people parked around the United States right now is that their cars are being blanketed with ash from the western wildfires. Obviously the physical threat to humans and animals is more urgent, but if you’re being affected by fire and have the mental bandwidth to care about your car’s paint, you…Read more...

Google is rolling out new features for its current video chat apps, Googles Meet and Duo. Meet’s updates include a new background blurring tool; it also now allows users to view up to 49 camera feeds while using the “tile view” in large group meetings.Read more...

The long-anticipated bundle of Apple services is here: Apple One. And while paying a reasonable amount for a few services sounds like a great deal on paper, especially if you’re already a subscriber, it’s always good to remember the following advice. If you’re buying a bundle, you might be paying for more than what…Read more...

Like many of us living in these dystopian, apocalyptic, puff-sleeved, cottagecore times, I have ramped up my pickling efforts this year—partly because who knows if plants will even still exist by next summer, and partly because well, I’m home a lot, and I have the time. Why not make pickling a suddenly crucial part of…Read more...

“Mask-muffle” is a term I just made up, but it’s a real thing. If the cloth is meant to block a bunch of tiny respiratory droplets, it’s bound to muffle our words a bit, too. It can be hard enough to catch every word when you’re standing close to someone in a mask, and even more so if you’re the recommended six or…Read more...

There’s a bunch of debate on which frying pans are going to give you the best bang for your buck. As a seasoned home cook, I personally can make a meal or two in any pot or pan you give me, but recently, after cooking a couple of duck breasts in my old, off-brand pan I bought maybe seven years ago, I thought I should…Read more...

Today’s Facebook Connect kicked off with a two-hour keynote that detailed the company’s latest virtual and augmented reality developments. There were product announcements, new apps and games on display, and compelling peeks at some speculative technology. We’ll recap the highlights for those who couldn’t catch the…Read more...

The pandemic has disrupted many parts of our lives, testing for sexually transmitted diseases included. Between clinic closures and supply shortages, a lot of tests have been delayed, as testing rates plunged over the past several months. So consider this your reminder that if you’re at risk for an STD, you should…Read more...
