PC emulation has come to the App Store, seeming to mark a change in Apple’s policies after prior PC emulator rejections implied only game console emulation was allowed. UTM SE is the first PC emulator to hit iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro, allowing users to “run classic software and old-school games” for operating systems […]

There was a time when rich people were pretty easy to spot. Everything about them, from their clothing to their leisure activities, was more or less designed to exclude the rubes. If you couldn’t afford a valet to dress you, you couldn’t wear rich-people clothes. If your skills tended towards the practical and remunerative instead […]

In an effort to live up to its ambitious name, retailer Best Buy is going head-to-head against Amazon Prime Day with its own summertime promotion. “Black Friday in July” begins on Monday, July 15 and continues through July 17. Unlike Prime Day, Black Friday in July does not require a membership to a loyalty program. […]

Much like a two-sink bathroom spawns happiness, so does housing at least two peanut butters in your cupboard. Not so each person has their own jar (though, that’s not a bad idea), but because not all PBs are equal—and that’s a good thing. At minimum, I strongly believe every household needs a cooking peanut butter […]

I’ve long been fascinated by indoor gardening, but expense and the need to take a winter-long break after a long outdoor season have prevented me from finally diving in. Unfortunately, though, I hate shopping for fresh herbs and supermarket tomatoes depress me. So this past winter, I pulled the trigger and tested a slew of […]

Hard pretzels are fine. I don’t like to eat them, but occasionally they are the only (arguably) edible snack around. The average pretzel is a dry, flavorless knot of missed opportunity, save a few stray clumps of salt. Seasoned pretzels, on the other hand, are a completely different story. They’re a joy to eat, and […]

It’s always tempting to try out beta software: You get access to the latest and greatest features ahead of time (such as iOS Home Screen customizations), and usually all you’re asked in return is to put up with a handful of bugs that (usually) aren’t a massive inconvenience. However, that’s not always the case—companies like […]

I don’t like reading newsletters in my email inbox, since that’s also the place where I get all kinds of distracting messages and ads. If you’re looking for an app that lets you set up an email address and read newsletters elsewhere for free, Omnivore is a great choice. Its primary function is as a […]

You know how writing things down generally sticks them in your brain better? That’s true when you’re taking notes to remember something or when you’re planning your day. When it comes to productivity, several of the most recommended methods ask you to write stuff down. From a to-do list or daily action plan to a […]

Kids grow fast, which makes shopping for kid’s clothes—and adding to the “donate” pile—a second job for parents. For those caregivers looking for a deal on children’s clothing or a way to pocket a few extra bucks while they declutter, plenty of great options are available online. Hanna-Me-Downs Hanna Anderson clothing is high-quality stuff—and it’s […]

While a green lawn with checkerboard tracks and uniform blades is an iconic symbol of American suburbia, lawns are also a lot—a lot of mowing, trimming, weeding, fertilizer, overseeding, and watering, and all with little benefit to the environment. Which is why I was happy to tear it all out and switch to an eco […]
