The Goal Before we get going, I need to warn you away from a common misunderstanding of Renou et al’s claim. Renou et al are NOT claiming that it

How to motivate yourself to do a thing you don't want to do

We have an air bike in our basement. If you are unfamiliar with air bikes, they are similar to stationary bikes with foot pedals but also have handles you push and pull with your arms. It uses air resistance, so the harder you pedal and move your arms, the higher the resistance. It’s also known as an assault bike. 😬 Which is apt, because it’s a butt-kicker of a workout. I use it about once a week, more frequently in the winter when it’s too cold to run, and less often in the summer when I can

New PS5 Update Lets DualSense Controllers Pair With Multiple Devices at the Same Time

All you PlayStation 5 players can now pair your wireless DualSense controllers with up to four devices at a time and toggle among them. For some time, you've been able to pair your DualSense controllers not just with PS5s and other PlayStation consoles, but also with PCs, Macs, smartphones and other Bluetooth devices.

StubHub CEO says recent change to all-in ticket prices will dent revenue

Not even your kitchen is safe from ads after Samsung’s new update for its refrigerators

TL;DR Samsung is allegedly rolling out a new software update for some of its smart refrigerators. The update adds advertisements to the display on the refrigerator door on certain themes.

Imagine paying top dollar for a brand-new high-end refrigerator only to be greeted with ads on the door display. Sounds like a nightmare? Unfortunately, this nightmare is coming true for Samsun
