How to Spot Fake Beauty Products on Amazon: Tips and Advice

wired.com Boutayna Chokrane 2025-08-08 09:00:00

You’d expect your pimple patches to heal blemishes, not cause them. But when you're buying beauty products on Amazon, there’s a risk you’re getting more than you bargained for. And you wouldn’t be alone. According to a 2023 study from Michigan State University, nearly seven in 10 consumers were fooled into purchasing counterfeit items online. That same year, Amazon reported blocking more than 700,000 attempts by “bad actors” trying to open new storefronts and seizing more than 7 million counter

10% Home Depot Promo Codes & Coupons | July 2025

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-08-08 21:00:00

Home Depot goes hard. The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools. The Home Depot smell is buried deep in my childhood, filed somewhere betwee

Measles cases reach 33-year high as RFK Jr. pursues anti-vaccine agenda

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-09 12:17:34

Over the weekend, the tally of measles cases reached 1,281, setting a new case record since the highly contagious viral disease was declared eliminated from the country in 2000. The previous record was set in 2019, when there were 1,274 cases and officials warned that the US had narrowly avoided losing the elimination status. Overall, the current case tally is a 33-year high for the preventable infection, and the outlook for the country is bleak. Vaccination rates have only fallen since the pan
