Smartwatches have become the de-facto way to measure activity from your wrist and can encourage you to get moving. It's increasingly common for them to offer health features like a blood oxygen sensor. Some may even have an ECG (also known as an electrocardiogram) which can check for signs of a heart condition called atrial fibrillation. Smartwatches reflect your personal style and come in a variety of finishes, from aluminum to titanium, with a seemingly endless variety of watch bands to choos

Trump Weighs in on MAGA’s Latest Online Crisis: The Cracker Barrel Logo

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-31 23:10:04

The declining restaurant chain Cracker Barrel recently made the unfortunate decision to rebrand its sign, which—if you’ve ever hung out at a strip mall on the side of a freeway—you will probably recognize. The old sign, which we are now being told is “iconic,” previously featured a mascot known as “Uncle Herschel” (based on the store’s founder’s real uncle) and a barrel. The new sign, a study in bland minimalism, nixes both the barrel and Uncle Herschel, replacing them with a vaguely rounded and

The first thing I noticed about the NordicTrack Commercial 2450, NordicTrack's newest addition to its commercial treadmill series, is the touchscreen. It has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that resembles a desktop computer screen, so it's huge. It also tilts and pivots so you can adjust it for different uses, like if you want to take workout classes on the floor.
