How to Streamline a Messy Wireless Network Setup

Wireless networking is complicated, no question there. And it’s easy for some people to find themselves with a Frankenstein of a home setup, because they’ve been adding devices, and access points, and routers, and switches, and who knows what else in an effort to get a decent connection around their...

Make a ‘Connection List’ for Each of Your Kids

There’s a lot for a parent to get done in a day. There are places to go, meals to prep, work to complete and dishes to wash. In the midst of all of it, it can seem impossible to prioritize actual connection and bonding time with our kids. We want...

The Best Chocolate Frosting Is a Whipped Ganache

If I feel compelled to cut corners during the cake making process, I’m more likely to fake the cake than the frosting. Store-bought frosting is more easily detected than a boxed mix cake, and frosting is a touch easier of a project—you just have to whip a ganache.

How to Finally Turn Off Autoplaying Video Previews on Netflix

I’ve been waiting for this feature ever since I started watching Netflix, and I’m so thrilled this day has arrived. Netflix, finally bowing to popular demand, has released a feature that allows you to turn off all those damn autoplaying previews.

Can You Recycle Those Annoying Wire Hangers?

Over the years, you may or not have assembled a collection of flimsy wire hangers in your closet from years of dry-cleaning winter coats. As it turns out, those hangers have a long history. In a story for Vox, writer Dan Greene recently took a deep dive into the origins...

Tonight, seven presidential candidates will take the stage in Manchester, New Hampshire for another Democratic Presidential debate, ahead of the state’s primary.

The 2020 Toyota Highlander XSE Is For The Parents Who Want To Feel Less Dead Inside

Ah, children. A necessary evil if society is ever to advance. Between their constant demands, screams, messes and inane questions, their parents must soldier on (or else they go to jail). It’s a thankless existence I wouldn’t wish on anyone, but at least the 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE is...

Patton Oswalt is left speechless at fellow geek Stephen Colbert's Tolkien advice

Patton Oswalt is many things. Grammy and Emmy-winning stand-up, Twitter legend, beleaguered principal, giant supervillain head, imaginary flying horse, the occasional hive-mind, a rat—the guy’s versatile.

Nissan is officially promising that the 2020 Frontier will be “the last of” the current generation pickup, with an all-new model slated for next year.
