Do You Need a Barbecue Knife?

wired.com Joe Ray 2025-12-29 04:30:00

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a

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.

Messages on iOS 26 will make it harder to fall for phishing scams

While even tech-savvy users can fall for elaborate phishing scams, most attacks are designed to target less technically inclined people. With that in mind, the new Messages app in iOS 26 introduces (or better yet, removes) two things that could make a pretty big difference in keeping users safe, regardless of how familiar they may be with phishing tactics. The new Messages app splits conversations into a few categories, accessible via the filter button in the top right: Messages, Unknown Sende

How to Spot and Guard Against Wrong Number Scams

Something you can be sure of when it comes to scams and swindles is that the methods used to try to part you from your data, your money, or both are constantly changing—which of course makes it more difficult to spot scenarios where someone is attempting to trick you. One simple scam that's continuing to get more common starts off with text from someone who has apparently messaged the wrong number.
