Far-right communities online are already demonizing Vice President Kamala Harris after speculation that she may replace President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee in the US election. But rather than focusing on her policies, experience, or ability to do the job, the vicious attacks have focused instead on her sex life, her race, and rethreading…
Sweet dreams start with soft sheets. Or, at the very least, great sheets mean I sleep better, whether my dreams are peaceful or a hallucination of failed superpowers and the internet. There’s a lot to navigate when buying sheets for your bed, from understanding percale and sateen to thread counts. But the right set of…
Just like QLED TVs, QD-OLED sets start with a blue light source and use quantum-dot material to produce red and green light. But because they are OLEDs, the light source, in this case, is each individual pixel. Because these TVs don’t use color filters in front of the light source, QD-OLED TVs have the potential to…
A lot of us are slouchers. We hunch over our desk 40 hours a week and bend awkwardly toward our phones the rest of the time. If reading that just made you adjust your shoulders, it’s time to work on your posture, because bad posture doesn’t just cause temporary pain and stiffness, it could be…
It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor, but you can save some cash and go with the Snapdragon X Plus (the 15-inch model only comes with the Elite). I tested the Elite, and the performance has been perfectly smooth no matter how many windows, tabs, and apps I have open. This is not…
All the experts we consulted cautioned against buying the cheapest bike you could find at a big-box store because many of the mass-market discount bikes are of dubious quality, and the parts aren’t always easily adjustable. That means after your child’s initial fitting, you won’t be able to alter the bike to fit them properly….
Using an Eero mesh system without the Eero Plus subscription limits you to a basic set of options. You can schedule Wi-Fi downtime, set up a guest network, and use your Eero as a smart home hub. That might be enough for most, but here’s what you get if you subscribe. First, it’s worth noting…
Eons ago, I worked a retail job selling gaming headsets (among other things) during the PS3 era. Even back then, I was annoyed that most headphone manufacturers had virtually identical versions of the same headset, distinguished solely by whether they were compatible with the Xbox or PlayStation. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X Wireless may not…
Fats, oils, and grease (what the waste industry refers to as FOG) are the bane of any plumber’s or water treatment worker’s existence. And “the more unwanted waste we can keep out of waterways, the fewer contaminants for our wastewater and drinking water treatment facilities to clean out of waters we use for drinking and recreational activities like fishing or swimming,”…
Similar to full-sized models, portable carpet cleaners have two principal functions: They dispense clean water with detergent onto your dirty carpet, then suction up the dirty liquid. All of the portable models we tested have separate tanks for clean and dirty water, though it’s worth noting that their tanks are smaller than those of their…
