Peptide cocktails, plasma exchange therapy, infrared sauna sessions, and methylene blue drips. These are just a few of the biohacks that keep Peter Phillips feeling invincible. For the past three years, the 53-year-old tech executive has worked with doctors at Extension Health, a longevity clinic in New York City, to craft a blueprint to help him combat the declines that come with age. “I’m on the cusp of immortality,” he says.

8 reasons why I replaced my Kindle with an iPad Mini for reading ebooks

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2025-12-11 02:22:00

Lance Whitney/ZDNET I like to read in bed before I nod off to sleep. Though I enjoy the feel and texture of a good, old-fashioned printed book, I typically turn to ebooks because they're easier on the eyes. And what do I use as a reader? No, not a Kindle, but my trusty iPad mini. Also: I finally found a tablet that can easily replace my iPad and Kindle (and is affordably priced) I've tried a couple of Kindles in the past, but didn't quite take to them. For me, the iPad mini is a more versatil

Dotfiles feel too intimate and personal to share

news.ycombinator.com Juha-Matti Santala 2025-12-11 02:36:01

I love dotfiles. “Dotfiles” is a term that refers to configuration files used to configure software and operating systems. They are called such because often these files start with a dot. You may have seen .bashrc , .tmux.conf or .zshrc in the wild. Whenever a software doesn’t offer direct file-based configuration, I feel sad because it means I need to take extra steps to keep my configuration across different devices in sync or when setting up a new machine. I love sharing. I regularly publ

Teardown confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a repair nightmare, but maybe that’s the point

TL;DR iFixit gives the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 a pitiful repair score in its latest teardown. Fragile inner components, glued batteries, and a hard-to-replace screen make DIY fixes tough. It could be that the same design choices may help the phone survive extreme durability tests.

A bacterial infection that can cause “flesh-eating” disease is becoming a bigger problem in the U.S.—and climate change is at least partly to blame. Several states along the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard have already reported a higher than usual tally of Vibrio vulnificus cases and deaths this summer.

I tried a few different lemon eucalyptus bug sprays, and Natrapel came out on top. Lacking the two chemicals proven to repel insects, it's natural to think this bug spray isn't as effective as its DEET- or picaridin-containing counterparts. The CDC and EPA recognize lemon eucalyptus oil as an effective insect repellent. The Natrapel bott

Daily stand-ups are a cornerstone of agile software development – but often they’re seen as a burden or a distraction. Why?
