Food as Medicine: Try Eating These Foods Next Time You Have a Headache

If you're looking for something other than aspirin to relieve a headache, experts say you should consider what's on your plate. Though eating certain foods isn't a miracle cure for migraines or headaches, it can help alongside hydration, exercise, sleep and stress management. "The most important thing I tell patients is that migraines are highly individualized," says Dr. Nicholas Church, a board-certified member of the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Academy of Family Physici

WhatsApp is testing message reminders

If you’re like me and often read a message, tell yourself you’ll reply later, and then instantly forget about it, a new WhatsApp experiment might bring the solution. New feature has presets and custom options According to recent findings by WABetaInfo (via Tecnoblog), WhatsApp is now testing a feature that lets users set reminders for specific messages. So rather than pinning chats, starring messages, or simply hoping to remember to check back later, users can schedule an actual notification

AI's not the only hot tech trend - check out the year's other 11, according to McKinsey

MicroStockHub/Getty When we hear the word "technology," most of us automatically think of hardware; the physical devices that have become such a conspicuously present part of many of our day-to-day lives. But technology is a much more expansive phenomenon, encompassing not only all the various tools and gadgets we can clearly see, but also a vast and mostly invisible digital infrastructure of software and code upon which our modern world is based. When trying to understand technological change

Meta’s Body-Reading Wristband Is Getting a Lot More Sophisticated

Meta is back to teasing its futuristic body-reading wristband, and this time around, it’s getting a little more specific with what the wearable can do. In short? It looks like all that high-level research is paying off. Meta published a new research paper in the journal Nature, showcasing progress on its sEMG-RD wearable, a device that was most recently shown at its Connect conference in 2024. That device, using sensors on a wristband, can read electrical signals in your muscles and translate th

The 20 Best PS5 Games Right Now

Over four years after its release, Sony's PlayStation 5 has bested Microsoft's Xbox to dominate this console generation. If you want a plug-and-play experience with the latest games, PS5 is a fantastic choice. The PS5 introduced several tech advancements over its predecessor, from the extra functionality you get from the DualSense controller's advanced haptics and triggers to instant load times with its solid-state storage, as well as the PSVR 2 headset. But the PS5's biggest appeal, building o

How to increase your surface area for luck

This post is an excerpt from my forthcoming book (and builds on a couple of paragraphs in my original post on agency). I’ll be running a few excerpts here in the coming months, in hopes of getting feedback on the kinds of content people are excited to see in the book (which is a signal about what to expand or scale back). Let me know what you think! One distinguishing feature I’ve noticed among people who are unusually successful is that they just try a lot of stuff — socially, intellectually,

The best Xbox controller to buy right now

We live in a golden age of controllers. The gamepads on the market now are of higher quality, more versatile, and more customizable than anything from even one console generation ago. If you play games on an Xbox Series X or Series S (or a Windows PC), you have the unenviable task of choosing between several high-quality controllers from Microsoft as well as a plethora of great options from the likes of 8BitDo, PowerA, Razer, Scuf, Nacon, and Turtle Beach.

Google DeepMind’s new AI can help historians understand ancient Latin inscriptions

To do this, Aeneas takes in partial transcriptions of an inscription alongside a scanned image of it. Using these, it gives possible dates and places of origins for the engraving, along with potential fill-ins for any missing text. For example, a slab damaged at the start and continuing with ... us populusque Romanus would likely prompt Aeneas to guess that Senat comes before us to create the phrase Senatus populusque Romanus, “The Senate and the people of Rome.” This is similar to how Ithaca w

I fired ChatGPT for a week and hired a European AI instead

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority I’ve cut my ties to a bunch of American tech. Gmail became Fastmail, Keep turned into Obsidian, and I replaced Tasks with ToDoist. I figured AI would be the hardest one to give up. I’ve been using ChatGPT in an unorthodox way, not for chatting, but as a full-on project management system for scheduling, reminders, and budgeting. Then I stumbled on LeChat a few months ago. LeChat, from the company Mistral, is Europe’s answer to the LLM arms race. I used it ins

24 hours later with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Why I'm leaving the S25 Ultra behind

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Update: This story was first published on July 8 and was updated on July 23 to reflect the new sales information. Has Samsung finally done it? I've been asking myself that question this whole day, as I've been going about life with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. By now, my previous daily driver, the Pixel 9 Pro, devoid of SIM cards and battery life, has been relegated to my drawer of forgottenness. With a foldable this thin, light, and capable, it just had to be this way. CNET survey: 6

Nintendo's Mario Party Upgrades for Switch 2 Feel Like Unnecessary Gimmicks

Maybe, some day, Nintendo will make games that are just focused on using the new camera and mouse-control features on the Switch 2. In the meantime, there's the update to Super Mario Party Jamboree that hits this week. Nintendo's already delivered a killer one-two punch with Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza for Switch 2 but the upgrade for Jamboree, while charming at times, doesn't exactly live up to expectations. The $20 upgrade, with the unwieldy title Super Mario Party Jamboree Swit

Maingear's Retro95 PC blends '90s workstation nostalgia with modern horsepower

Maingear's latest (appropriately named) Retro95 is a deceptive love letter to old-school "pizza box" PCs: Wolfenstein 3D and Sierra adventure games on the outside; Cyberpunk 2077 in ray-traced 4K on the inside. That's because you can fit this sucker with up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics. It supports Intel and AMD processors, up to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. You can also customize it with up to 96GB of DDR5 memory, 8TB of Gen4 NVMe storage, Noctua fans and an 850W PSU. It's a ray-traced wolf in

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Could've Been Incredible. Here's Why It's Not

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is the latest high-profile Soulslike game, this time coming from Chinese developer Leenzee. Unlike some of the most recent Soulslike releases, Wuchang is more faithful to the formula created by FromSoftware's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, but the changes it does make might be the game's downfall. Still, for fans of the genre, it's another intriguing addition to an ever-growing list of standout gaming experiences. Wuchang is an ambitious Soulslike, which helps it stand o

Best Indoor Garden Systems (2025), Tested and Reviewed

FAQ What Are Hydroponics? In the simplest terms, hydroponic gardening means to grow plants without roots in soil. Sometimes the plants are suspended in water, like in the Rise or Gardyn; sometimes they're in pods attached to a wick, like in the Click & Grow; and sometimes they have water sprayed or misted on their roots, like in the Lettuce Grow and Plantaform. Usually this is in concert with an artificial light source, either indoors or in an outdoor enclosure. What Are the Benefits of Hydro

This Unsung Supernatural TV Show Has Everything a Horror Fan Could Want

When it comes to genre television, there haven't been many TV shows over the past decade that have kept me hooked. I watch TV for a living, so color me jaded. When I think of big creative swings in the television realm, shows like Twin Peaks, Severance and The Boys immediately come to mind. That third title I just mentioned is the only one in that trio that is an adaptation -- taking inspiration from the ultraviolent superhero comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.

Do You Have a Cortisol Imbalance? These Are the Symptoms of High and Low Cortisol

Cortisol is a hot topic these days, especially as many struggle to manage their stress. You may also have heard of the term "cortisol face" or "moon face," which can be attributed to high cortisol levels. "Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate your metabolism, blood sugar, inflammation, blood pressure and sleep-wake cycle," explains Dr. Mark Hyman, co-founder and CMO of Function Health, which offers a cortisol lab test.

Libraries​ were all the rage in Renaissance Europe, and no wonder. Theatres of knowledge, grandly decorated and proudly displayed, they hosted dramas of many kinds. Learned men used them for lively conversation on such irresistible topics as the philosophies of Hermes, Zoroaster and Pythagoras or relations between the later Roman Empire and the Persian king Shapur II, which Angelo Poliziano, Pico della Mirandola and others debated in the new Florentine library of San Marco. Yet they were also –

2025 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante: A-M’s ultimate GT goes topless

We live in the era of the electric car—lightning that can't be put back in its bottle. This is important to keep in mind when we talk about new cars like the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, because on paper, it seems hard to justify its half-million-dollar price tag and 800-plus horsepower twin-turbo V12 when things like Rivian's Quad-motor R1 vehicles and Lucid's Air can top its numbers for half the price. I say this not to suck the air out of the room but to put things in perspective, as this w
