Cleaning your fridge and freezer is important to do every so often, but what about the food sitting inside it? Specifically, that bottom drawer, where fruits and veggies go to retire. Even the healthiest-looking produce can carry unwelcome hitchhikers like dirt, bacteria and trace pesticides. Now, don't freak out. According to the USDA's Pesticide Data Program, over 99% of tested foods were well within the EPA's safety limits -- and more than a quarter didn't have a speck of pesticide residue.
It doesn't matter whether you're rustling up an appetizer or cooking a full meal, the humble air fryer can do the job. It's true that sometimes the air fryer can be a victim of its own versatility, and sometimes it's relegated to cooking quick and easy meals. But if you pair it with a useful accessory, you might be surprised at just how capable that unsuspecting air fryer is. In fact, get things just right, and the cooking possibilities are basically endless. There's an entire air fryer communi

Owners of the Lucid Air sedan will be able to charge their luxury EVs at thousands of Tesla Supercharger stations in North America starting July 31, nearly two years since the automakers reached an agreement. But there is a notable caveat: Lucid Air vehicles won’t be able to charge as fast as Tesla vehicles. Lucid said on Tuesday that all Lucid Air sedans, regardless of model year, will be able to access Tesla’s network of fast chargers with an approved adapter that costs $220. Tesla V3 (and ab
Integrating physical and virtual testing environments into research and development (R&D) is rapidly moving from a cutting-edge concept to standard practice across many industries. Organizations that take this approach gain a variety of benefits that improve efficiency. Among the advantages is the ability to minimize prototype builds, optimize test cell usage, and enable faster design iterations through digital twin technology and data feedback loops between physical testing and engineering mode
When that allergy season hits, it's normal to reach for your medication to try and get through your day. An FDA estimate says that 62.7 million over-the-counter packages of Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Xyzal (levocetirizine) were sold in 2022. We're now in an era where climate change is making for longer, more intense pollen seasons, which is partly responsible for allergies getting worse. The sales figures have likely climbed in the last three years, with worsened allergy symptoms like a runny nose,

Jada Jones/ZDNET During Apple's September hardware event last year, the company announced the iPhone 16 lineup, new AirPods, and an upgraded Apple Watch. I was most happy to see the AirPods 4 model, which introduced noise cancellation to the lineup for the first time and upgraded software features -- but I was secretly hoping for the AirPods Pro 3. Also: I ditched my Bluetooth speakers for this slick turntable - and it's more practical than I thought Unfortunately, a new AirPods Pro model did

AirTags can also help you keep track of larger bags and luggage, and you could easily slip one into an interior pocket and call it a day. But if you’d rather hook the tracker to the outside, you’ll need something a bit larger and more flexible than a standard key ring. Belkin’s Secure Holder with Strap is a good option: it comes in different colors and it’s budget friendly at only $13. The case opens up into two pieces, allowing you to sit the AirTag inside the circle and twist and snap the two
Major wireless carriers: A necessary evil if you travel a lot, have a family, or are just interested in coverage that’s reliably consistent and widespread. AT&T is the third-largest provider in the US (first for 5G), with the largest coverage map. I’ve had various AT&T plans for more than a decade, first for just myself and now for my whole family, even though I only get one cell bar at my house and have to stand in one 5-square-foot patch of yard to make a phone call. And have lost entire days

There are plenty of weird and unexpected moments in James Gunn’s Superman, but one of the most unexpected has to be when he saves a squirrel in the middle of a giant battle. Not a human, not a group of animals, but a single, solitary squirrel. It speaks to the character’s kindness and respect for all life in a fun, quirky way, but apparently not everyone liked it. “It was probably the second- or third-most hotly debated moment in the movie,” Gunn said in a wide-ranging interview with Rolling St
Employees of the crucial scientific research arm of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been left with more questions than answers as the agency moves to officially wind down the office following months of back-and-forth. On Friday evening, the EPA issued a press release announcing a reduction in force at the Office of Research and Development (ORD), citing the move as part of a larger effort to save a purported $748.8 million. On Monday, some employees at ORD, the largest office in

Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services company led by the sons of US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, is creating a way for investors to bet that President Donald Trump’s signature tariffs will be struck down in court. Traders at the firm’s investment banking subsidiary, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., say they have the capacity to buy the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars in potential refunds from companies who have paid Trump’s tariffs, according to documents viewed by WIRED.

Airline pricing may seem mystifying, but behind every airfare is a complex system of fare buckets and inventory controls. Airlines don't just sell seats - they manage a dynamic inventory of fares, divided into booking classes (fare buckets) with different prices and rules. For the technically curious, understanding how fare buckets work reveals the "source code" of airline revenue management. This report delves into the hierarchy of booking classes, how airlines update seat availability across r

ZDNET's key takeaways Apple's MacBook Air M4 (13-inch) is on sale at Amazon for $850, a competitive price for Apple's latest ultraportable.

iPhone 17 Air is a brand new model expected to debut this fall, with Apple prioritizing form over function. The ultra-thin, futuristic design will come with some compromises, but one rumored new accessory could solve my biggest concern: battery life.

A computer outage forced Alaska Airlines and its subsidiary Horizon Air to ground all flights Sunday night, halting operations across the board. On Monday, the airline said that operations were coming back online. The airline requested a system-wide ground stop from federal aviation authorities at about 11 p.m. ET on Sunday night. That stop remained in effect until around 2 a.m. ET Monday, when the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed it had been lifted. But disruptions didn’t end there. A
