Is Marshall Clearing House? These Wireless Earbuds Drop to All-Time Low for Prime Day

Finding the right pair of wireless earbuds is harder than it sounds. You want something with strong, reliable sound, enough battery life to last you through the day, and a fit that doesn’t make you constantly readjust on your morning walk. But at the same time, you want something that looks cool, too. AirPods are a great option for this, but you probably don’t want to spend too much on earbuds just to feel like you’re getting a fun accessory. What you need now is a pair of earbuds that fill the

Gmail’s new subscription management is here to declutter your inbox

With decades of online life behind us, many people are using years-old email addresses. Those inboxes are probably packed with subscriptions you've picked up over the years, and you probably don't need all of them. Gmail is going to make it easier to manage them with a new feature rolling out on mobile and web. Google's existing unsubscribe prompts are evolving into a one-stop shop for all your subscription management needs, a feature that has been in the works for a weirdly long time. The pitc

TSA to finally end its dumb shoe removal policy for airport security

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. A key pillar of post-9/11 airport security theater may finally be going away. Multiple outlets are reporting that the Transportation Security Administration will start allowing passengers at a few select airports to keep their shoes on while going through security checkpoints. No longer will we have to gaze upon our fellow

The military might finally win the right to repair

Senators Tim Sheehy and Elizabeth Warren have introduced a bipartisan bill to enshrine a right to repair for military equipment. The legislation, called the “Warrior Right to Repair Act,” would codify the right-to-repair provisions that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put in place through the Army Transformation and Acquisition Reform memorandum from April 30. The Department of Defense has not been immune from restrictive practices set forth by manufacturers, and much like the average consumer,

You May Want to Buy a Nintendo Switch 2 Before Tariffs Drive Up the Price

Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and that means (unfortunately for everyone) potentially new and more draconian U.S. tariffs. In letters to 14 countries sent on Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to drastically hike tariffs by as much as 40% by the end of the month, which, for the record, marks a several-week extension of prior tariffs that were set to take effect on July 9. Among those countr

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,

Gmail’s new ‘Manage subscriptions’ tool will help declutter your inbox

Google announced on Tuesday that it’s launching a new Gmail feature that is designed to help users easily manage their subscriptions and declutter their inboxes. The new “Manage subscriptions” tool is rolling out on the web, Android, and iOS in select countries. With the new feature, users can view and manage their subscription emails in one place and quickly unsubscribe from the ones they no longer want to receive. Users can view their active subscriptions, organized by the most frequent send

I’ve tested every cheap Samsung phone: Here are the ones you should buy in 2025

The secret to Samsung’s ultra-cheap success is its commitment to software updates. Like the rest of the Galaxy A series, the Galaxy A16 is set up for a full six years of support, carrying it right into the start of the 2030s. That works out to a per-update cost of around $30, better than the Galaxy A26’s per-update cost of $50 or the Galaxy S24 FE’s price of around $90 for each major patch. Granted, you’re paying for much more than just software support, but it’s a good place to start if you wan

On The Meaning of Ritual

The Book of Rites, also known as the Classic of Ritual. The Way of the former kings consists in exalting ren. One must cleave to what is central in carrying it out. What do I mean by "what is central"? I say: it is ritual and yi (8.99). The Confucian moral order is grounded in ren (仁), yi (義), and ritual (禮, li). Ren is humaneness, empathy, and magnanimous compassion. Yi is righteousness, firmness of will, and principles-based justice. Ren is the duty to care and provide for those in your ch
