There’s something deeply satisfying about tracking your running progress in a spreadsheet you built yourself. No algorithm showing off other people’s workouts, no concerns about what happens to your data if the company pivots or shuts down.

The HomePod is one of the most polarizing Apple devices I’ve ever owned. When it works, it’s awesome, but if anything goes wrong, it can be a bit of a head-scratcher to troubleshoot. That’s led to a bit of a mixed reception among Apple fans, but I’ve been buying HomePods since 2017, and know all […]

Man people think the world is going to end every year—maybe because the Bible said so, or The Simpsons said so—but this 2026-doomsday prediction seems to have a scientific basis.
