After living in big cities like San Francisco and New York, when I set foot in Wally World in the Midwest, I heard angels sing. Rows and rows of fluorescent lights highlighted any and every product needed for your house in one place. Screw the mom-and-pop bodega—I missed this level of convenience. If by chance…
Sometimes, eating makes me feel like Sisyphus. Every day, I must toil up the mountain and the rock to figure out what the heck I want to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I tested Factor meals (6/10, WIRED Review) earlier this year, and they’re a solid option if you’re the type of person that…

Cook maintained a relationship with Trump during his time in office, often meeting with the president and serving on advisory panels influencing policy decisions that affect Apple’s business, such as tariffs and…
CR’s advice for anchoring furniture has always been: Find the stud. Don’t just anchor it into a hollow stretch of drywall, even with those expanding plastic plugs that are specifically meant for this wall material. Those are fine for hanging art because it pulls against the anchor only with a downward force. But they won’t…
