This makes subscribing to something a much speedier affair, with the entire process taking just a few taps on the old smartphone screen. Prior to this, it wasn't always possible to upgrade to a paid subscription directly in the app. Showing off that it's more expensive to use iOS. (Substack) However, there's a fai

I’ve been going down some odd rabbit holes recently while researching my free online book-in-progress The Lost Art of Logarithms.

I Won't Split AirPods With My Wife Again Thanks to This iPhone Trick

When my wife and I travel, we usually download some shows to watch on our flight. But we always have to split a set of AirPods when we watch these shows. That means one of our ears is enjoying the show while the other is forced to endure the crying baby behind us on the plane, which can be distracting. But thanks to Apple's Audio Sharing feature, we can each enjoy a show together while using our own sets of AirPods, AirPods Pro or other headphones. Audio Sharing was introduced with iOS 18 and i

Best Period Underwear for 2025

I'm no stranger to period underwear and other "alternative" period products (where my menstrual cup fans at?), so I jumped at the chance to write this guide. When you're on your period, staying dry and comfortable are the top priorities, so I judged every pair of these underwear through that lens. I first tested all of the above underwear for fit, to determine if they are true to size. That mostly involved a lot of trying them on, wearing them under pants to see how bulky or slim they were and

The U.S. Could Lose a Crucial Futuristic Telescope to Spain if Trump’s Budget Passes

If Spain strikes a deal, the TMT would be built on La Palma in the Canary Islands rather than on Mauna Kea, a mountain in Hawaii.
