Ugreen’s new super slim wallet tracker has 5 years of battery life

However, while the previous version was compatible with Apple’s Find My network and recharable, the new FineTrack Slim Smart G only works with

Linking to text fragments with a bookmarklet

Linking to text fragments with a bookmarklet One of my favourite features added to web browsers in the last few years is text fragments. Text fragments allow you to link directly to specific text on a web page, and some browsers will highlight the linked text – for example, by scrolling to it, or adding a coloured highlight. This is useful if I’m linking to a long page that doesn’t have linkable headings – I want it to be easy for readers to find the part of the page I was looking for. Here’s

PSA: The Starbucks app is broken, but here’s how to use it anyway

A slew of people are reporting that the Starbucks app is completely broken. With too-perfect irony, the thing that is breaking it is an app satisfaction survey … Multiple users are reporting that the app forces you to complete the survey before you can use the app to do anything radical like, oh, I don’t know, ordering a cup of coffee. The problem is that even after you have completed the survey, it still doesn’t let you in: it just loops back to the survey. Twitter user Ike found a workaround

A Cooking Instructor Reveals 5 Foods You Should Never Put in a Nonstick Pan

Nonstick cookware serves a purpose in the kitchen, but it shouldn't be your go-to pan for every task. When used incorrectly, nonstick surfaces can ruin dishes by preventing proper browning and searing of meats and vegetables. Certain foods can also compromise the coating, reducing the pan's durability and potentially contaminating your meals with flaking nonstick material. As much as we love the easy cleanup, most foods fare better in a stainless-steel, carbon-steel, or cast-iron skillet. I tur

Grade 2 Braille

Tactile writing system for English English Braille, also known as Grade 2 Braille,[1] is the braille alphabet used for English. It consists of around 250 letters (phonograms), numerals, punctuation, formatting marks, contractions, and abbreviations (logograms).

Grade 1 is a nearly one-to-one transcription of printed English and is restricted to

Fede Álvarez Wrote the ‘Alien: Romulus’ Sequel to Avoid an ‘Alien 3’ Situation

Alien: Earth just dropped a chest-burstingly good episode ahead of next week’s finale (read io9’s recap here), but fans are just as eager to learn what’s next for the sci-fi series on the big screen. One who would know is Fede Álvarez, who helmed last year’s Alien: Romulus and is closely involved in its sequel. He’s not directing it, but he’s helping choose who does—and he co-wrote the script with a bit of important Alien history in mind. While some fans (ahem) think Alien 3 is actually pretty

The Outsiders is a beautiful new exercise app from the developers of Gentler Streak

I’ve written before about how Gentler Streak is by far my favorite exercise app due to its human-first approach to exercise. Today, the developers behind the app are introducing The Outsiders, which takes the same approach to high-level training. Here’s what it looks like A familiar approach to performance training Gentler Streak is an App Store favorite because, instead of taking the standard “push-it-to-the-limit” attitude to exercise, it focuses on rewarding and recovering for a more pleasa

4 Things You Should Never Cook in a Nonstick Pan, According to an Expert

Nonstick cookware has its place in the kitchen, but its limitations should keep it from being your everyday pan. Nonstick cookware can tank a recipe when misused, leaving meat and vegetables without a proper sear. Some foods can damage the surface of your nonstick skillet, leading to a shorter lifespan or the release of nonstick materials into your food. As much as we love the easy cleanup, most foods fare better in a stainless-steel, carbon-steel, or cast-iron skillet. I turned to an expert fo

The Wacom One, now one size bigger

Wacom has introduced a new 14-inch creative display tablet to its entry-level product line for students and hobbyists.

It’s available to buy today for $299.95. That’s significantly less than the $400 launch price for the sma

Apple made a strap, now Google has a rope to dangle your Pixel from your wrist

Google TL;DR The Google Rope Wristlet is a $7 polyester rope with a company logo that lets you dangle your Pixel from your wrist. You can actually use it with any phone, not just Pixels. The wristlet is available in three different dual-tone color options: Blue/Purple, Black/Gray, and Green/Yellow.

A dumb introduction to z3

Recently I have come across a nice article: Many Hard Leetcode Problems are Easy Constraint Problems, and I figured, I really should learn how to use these things! What else do I really have to do? I have had use for solvers (or as they are commonly called: theorem provers) In a previous article, but then I tried to prove the things with good old algorithms. I looked at z3 at the time, but found the whole concept a bit too opaque. Now however, it seemed a bit easier to get into. To be clear, as

Repeat creepy meat problems at Boar’s Head plants draw congressional scrutiny

"The totality of these issues demonstrate a repeated pattern of food safety negligence that jeopardized Americans’ public health, and sadly, lives were lost," the lawmakers wrote in the letter. While calling the ongoing, repeated problems "appalling," they said they were "less than confident" that the Jarratt plant could safely reopen. "It seems your company continues to show a disregard for food safety and for the public health of the American people," they wrote. The letter was addressed to

Google Wallet may soon let you favorite passes for faster access (APK teardown)

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Wallet seems to be preparing a new way to “favorite” passes. Users will be able to tap a star button to add a pass to their favorites and have it appear on the home screen. It’s unclear whether the starred or favorited passes will be highlighted somehow on the Wallet app’s home screen, or if they’ll show up directly on your phone’s home screen. Google Wallet has steadily evolved from a simple payment tool into a hub for boarding passes, transi

MagSafe Monday: Pelican’s MagSafe Wallet is rugged and perfect for fall hikes and everyday carry

Israel announces seizure of $1.5M from crypto wallets tied to Iran

Israel’s Ministry of Defense announced on Monday that it was ordering the seizure of 187 crypto wallets that allegedly belong to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC. In a document detailing the seizure order, the ministry’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBCTF) said it was “convinced that the cryptocurrency wallets” in the list are property of the IRGC and are “used for the perpetration of a severe terror crime.” The IRGC is sanctioned as a terrorist organization b

OCSP Service Has Reached End of Life

Today we turned off our Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) service, as announced in December of last year. We stopped including OCSP URLs in our certificates more than 90 days ago, so all Let’s Encrypt certificates that contained OCSP URLs have now expired. Going forward, we will publish revocation information exclusively via Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). We ended support for OCSP primarily because it represents a considerable risk to privacy on the Internet. When someone visits a

Scarlet turns Shakespeare into an animated fantasy epic

Well, I was wrong, and I did manage to make it to one last day at the Toronto International Film Festival. One of the movies I wanted to see the most this year was Scarlet, the latest from Mamoru Hosoda, whose most recent film was the metaverse fairy tale Belle. Whereas that film was a reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, Scarlet is a twist on Hamlet that’s full of bold, creative ideas. I mostly enjoyed it, but unfortunately it’s saddled with an ending that doesn’t really fit. I also managed to
