Don't plug these 7 appliances (including AC units) into extension cords - here's why

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-01-22 18:23:00

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Extension cords are generally a safe solution for running power to electronics that are too far from the nearest wall outlet. But the operative word here is "electronics," which is not as all-encompassing as some people might think. Appliances (like refrigerators and toaster ovens) are obviously electronic devices, but they're in a different class from most electronics because of the amperage demands they need to function.

Our Favorite Bottle Washers for Keeping Your Baby Bottles Safe and Clean (2025)

wired.com Nicole Kinning 2026-01-22 18:39:00

I like to think of the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro as the pioneer of bottle washers. It paved the way for what I think will be a booming baby product in the next few years, and the Brezza specifically is consistently a top seller across retailers, so it felt like a natural to try first. The Brezza does what it promises. It washes and sterilizes well, and it uses less water than many competitors—great if you're working with limited filtered or purified water. Like most bottle washers I’ve trie

Hungary's oldest library fighting to save 100k books from a beetle infestation

PANNONHALMA, Hungary — Tens of thousands of centuries-old books are being pulled from the shelves of a medieval abbey in Hungary in an effort to save them from a beetle infestation that could wipe out centuries of history. The 1,000-year-old Pannonhalma Archabbey is a sprawling Benedictine monastery that is one of Hungary's oldest centers of learning and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The North Korean fake IT worker problem is ubiquitous

By now, the North Korean fake IT worker problem is so ubiquitous that if you think you don't have any phony resumes or imposters in your interview queue, you're asleep at the wheel. "Almost every CISO of a Fortune 500 company that I've spoken to — I'll just characterize as dozens that I've spoken to — have admitted that they had a North Korean IT worker problem," said Mandiant Consulting CTO Charles Carmakal during a threat-intel roundtable, admitting that even Mandiant's parent company Google

EA is reportedly hitting the brakes on the Need for Speed franchise

The Need for Speed franchise could be making its last laps — at least for the time being. Matthew Everingham, a photographer who frequently contributed to car culture website Speedhunters, said in social media posts that Electronic Arts has "shelved Need for Speed" and is "quietly parking" the series. Speedhunters, which was funded by EA and was last updated in April of this year, will also reportedly cease operations for now. EA hasn't released an official statement on the fate of the Need for

Should You Skip the Iced Coffee This Summer Because of Dehydration?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-25 04:51:04

You know the drill -- it's important to stay hydrated always, but especially in the summer heat. However, that message was taken to another level when the National Weather Service in Las Vegas advised residents across parts of Nevada, Arizona and California to avoid caffeine during extreme heat. The logic is that caffeine may speed up dehydration, which increases your risk for heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. The NWS advisory soon made headlines.

Everything We Know About the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS

On July 2, NASA revealed the existence of 3I/ATLAS, only the third ever interstellar object observed in the universe. These are objects that exist in interstellar space—the areas between stars—and which are not gravitationally bound to any star. The two other interstellar objects discovered to date are the comets 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. 3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1, when its existence was reported by a telescope at Rio Hurtado in Chile, operated by the Asteroid Terrestrial Impact Aler

Back in the stone age, landlords would have to go through the ridiculous process of meeting prospective tenants, showing them their potential homes, and sharing information on the rental. No longer. Thanks to a property tech company with the amazingly mawkish name Rently, landlords can now kick their feet up and relax — even more than they used to, that is. Rently's big idea?
