If you’re tired of scrubbing your patio furniture by hand, using half a bottle of detergent just to clean your car, or watching mildew slowly take over your driveway, it might be time to bring in some backup.

That’s why if you plan on getting one, you should make sure you can save some significant money. You can get the Greenworks Ele

Should you buy a cheap Android tablet from Amazon? This model is a surprisingly viable option

ZDNET's key takeaways This is a great value tablet, with a 12-inch display and running Android 15.

A Higgs-Bugson in the Linux Kernel

We recently ran across a strange higgs-bugson that manifested itself in a critical system that stores and distributes the firm’s trading activity data, called Gord. (A higgs-bugson is a bug that is reported in practice but difficult to reproduce, named for the Higgs boson, a particle which was theorized in the 1960s but only found in 2013.) In this post I’ll walk you through the process I took to debug it. I tried to write down relevant details as they came up, so see if you can guess what the b

Business Class Ain’t What It Used to Be. Don’t Tell First Class

Five years ago, Covid-19 largely brought business travel to a halt. Now companies are getting their employees back in the air, and carriers are reinventing themselves to appeal to post-pandemic fliers willing to pay more. Airlines worldwide are reconfiguring the real estate on their planes by segmenting their cabins into higher-margin business-class seating. They’re beefing up their traditional business cabins to snag higher fares while providing more luxurious premium economy seating for trave

Senate Backs NASA’s Legacy Moon Plan Over Musk’s Protests

On Tuesday, July 1, the Senate breathed new life into NASA’s floundering Artemis program by passing President Trump’s budget reconciliation bill. If signed into law, the legislation would allocate an additional $6 billion to Artemis’ current mission architecture. The new funds, which include support for additional Space Launch System (SLS) rockets, the Orion spacecraft, and a lunar space station called Gateway, represent a major win for legacy aerospace providers Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and L

Airport Lounges Are Sexy Again—if You Can Get In

Let’s be honest: A crowded airport lounge without a seat in sight is usually less appealing than an empty gate area. Over the past decade, an influx of travelers with club access has led to overcrowding, long waitlists, and a diminished (read: not luxurious) experience. However, a version of commercial air travel—often hidden from public view and inaccessible to even premium credit cardholders—has emerged. This more private, pre-flight experience is essential for the affluent business traveler,

Affluent Travelers Are Ditching Business Class for Business Jets

We’re cruising 35,000 feet over the French Riviera, the plane’s wing cutting through billows of white. Below us, the sea is sparkling, and I spot a cluster of yachts anchored along the coastline. A ray of light hits my glass of Champagne and turns it to liquid gold. I take another sip. So this is what it feels like to be on cloud nine. I’m flying from London to St. Tropez with the private aviation company Wheels Up, and for the first time in my life, I don’t want a flight to end. Once you’ve go

For Today's Business Traveler, It's All About Work-Life Integration

These days, business travel no longer means putting your life on hold. In my own work as a travel writer, forever shuttling between airports and hotel lobbies, I lean on small habits that make unfamiliar places feel less anonymous. Before work takes over, I’ll put on a Greek or Arabic podcast to keep the languages of my family close to me. They’re the ones I grew up hearing around the dinner table, and there’s a quiet fear they’ll slip away if I stop listening. Folding moments like these into my

I Hated the Apple Intelligence Button on My iPhone 16. Here's How I Turned It Off for Good

I'm a long time Apple fan, and I was so excited to upgrade to an iPhone 16 last fall. After spending five years with my well-loved, but outdated iPhone 11, I was ready for all the usual perks: a better battery life, nicer cameras and, most exciting to me, a new Barbie pink color. But what I didn't expect is that one new addition would threaten to ruin my entire experience with my brand new phone. If you've upgraded from an older iPhone in the past few years, you might have been surprised to see

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller 2 Is Overkill for Most People, but Still Delivers an Epic Gaming Experience

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (or Elite 2 for short) has arguably been the industry gold standard for a pro-level game controller for the past decade. Over the years dozens of competitors have cropped up, hoping to give Microsoft a run for its money. While the Elite 2 still isn't perfect, it still sets the bar high. What I like about the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 One of the best things the Elite 2 has going for it is the layout -- it's almost identical to the standa

Come for the Amenity Kits, Stay for the Flight

Last March, Air France hosted a private event at the upscale Ritz Paris hotel in Place Vendôme, in the luxurious heart of the city. The airline had built a full-scale mock-up of its new La Première first-class cabin and treated travel journalists like its most valued customers. The new cabin was classic and elegant, a showcase of the Air France aesthetic. Matteo Rainisio, founder of the Italian frequent-flier website The Flight Club, who was in attendance, called it akin to haute couture. Each

Business Travel Is Evolving Faster Than Ever. We’ll Help You Navigate It

It might feel like a distant memory, but in 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic radically transformed how people lived, and specifically how they worked. At the time, plenty of health experts, CEOs, and publications (including WIRED) predicted that Covid would grind business travel to a halt indefinitely. If our day-to-day tasks and meetings could happen using Zoom, Slack, and other online tools, the logic went, then why not apply that same digital-first philosophy to work trips? But near the end of tha

I Found the Best Way to Stop Mosquitos This Summer, and It's Not a Spray or Candle

Longer, hotter summers mean one thing: longer, itchier, angrier mosquito seasons. And if June's sizzling heat waves are any preview of summer's dog days, you're gonna need more than good vibes and a flickering citronella candle to make it through. I was playing it fast and loose with the usual bug defenses: sprays that smell bad and taste even worse and candles that burn out faster than your will to be outside. Then I met my new summer MVP: the Thermacell. It's a compact, affordable, bug-repell

The Hidden Engineering of Liquid Dampers in Skyscrapers

[Note that this article is a transcript of the video embedded above.] There’s a new trend in high-rise building design. Maybe you’ve seen this in your city. The best lots are all taken, so developers are stretching the limits to make use of space that isn’t always ideal for skyscrapers. They’re not necessarily taller than buildings of the past, but they are a lot more slender. “Pencil tower” is the term generally used to describe buildings that have a slenderness ratio of more than around 10 to

Pentagon may put SpaceX at the center of a sensor-to-shooter targeting network

The Trump administration plans to cancel a fleet of orbiting data relay satellites managed by the Space Development Agency and replace it with a secretive network that, so far, relies primarily on SpaceX's Starlink Internet constellation, according to budget documents. The move prompted questions from lawmakers during a Senate hearing on the Space Force's budget last week. While details of the Pentagon's plan remain secret, the White House proposal would commit $277 million in funding to kick o

White House works to ground NASA science missions before Congress can act

In another sign that the Trump White House is aggressively moving to slash NASA’s science programs, dozens of mission leaders have been asked to prepare "closeout" plans by the end of next week. The new directive came from NASA's senior leadership on Monday, which is acting on behalf of the White House Office of Management and Budget. Copies of these memos, which appear to vary a little by department, were reviewed by Ars. The detailed closeout plans called for must be prepared by as soon as Ju
