One of the lesser-known apps in the Google Drive online suite is Google Forms. It’s an easy, intuitive way to create a web form for other people to enter information into. You can use it for employee surveys, for organizing social gatherings, for giving people a way to contact you, and much more. But Google…
A lip balm, then, is absolutely essential to ward off the worst of bad weather’s devastation. A transparent lip balm is an excellent choice for every day, and, to be honest, every night. But sometimes you need something a bit punchier. Something fun. Something that pulls double duty as a protector and an adornment. Four…

The best protein bars are grab-and-go snacks, not meal replacements. They’re most helpful when whole foods aren’t available or when your schedule won’t allow for a proper meal. The most beneficial sources of protein come with fiber, healthy fats, and other nutrients. (That’s why registered dietitians recommend whole foods over ultra-processed alternatives.) So, while high-protein…
Major wireless carriers: A necessary evil if you travel a lot, have a family, or are just interested in coverage that’s reliably consistent and widespread. AT&T is the third-largest provider in the US (first for 5G), with the largest coverage map. I’ve had various AT&T plans for more than a decade, first for just myself…
Speaking of critical listening, the XC1 work with Sony’s hi-res capable LDAC Bluetooth codec, should you happen to own a compatible Android phone (sorry, iPhone users). Using LDAC can reveal more detail, especially when listening to a source of lossless audio, but for these earbuds, I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze. Using…
I was not sure what to expect from Diadem’s new BluCore paddle, which is among a handful of new paddles that have replaced the standard honeycomb polymer core with closed-cell foam—they sent me a sample of the stuff, and it looks like you could make a gas station cooler out of it. That foam is…
The name “Cleancult” is a play on words; it’s a cleaning product brand, yes, but it also implies that the products themselves are “clean”—i.e., made without, nor producing, harmful substances or chemicals. The brand aims to “help more people switch from a bad plastic habit to a cleaner ritual” by encouraging consumers to refill their…
The NHTSA recall announcement also identifies a second issue: If another passenger were to put their hand into the recline mechanism while the seat is rear-facing, and the seat shifts into a different recline position, it could result in their hand or fingers being pinched. At this time, no injuries related to either issue have…
Putting aside their exorbitant cost, the trouble with prescription hearing aids is the prescription. Find a doctor. Get an appointment. Sit in a waiting room. Suffer through an hour of testing before getting the hard sell on a pair of hearing aids. Why, the indignity of it all is even worse than going deaf. Telehealth…
