This Is Hands-Down the Best Way to Store Kitchen Knives (no, It's Not a Block)

No kitchen tool demands proper storage more than knives. Options include canvas knife wraps, wooden blocks and in-drawer organizers, but the mighty magnetic knife strip ranks as my absolute favorite. It's the first purchase I make for any new kitchen, and I push everyone I know to install one immediately. I'm a culinary-school trained nonchef, but even chef chefs recommend this storage tool: "I first tried a magnetic strip in my home kitchen a few years ago and I'm hooked," says Melissa Araujo,

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET For years, one of the biggest talking points in the Android vs. iOS debate has been freedom of choice -- and nothing summed that up more than sideloading. "But iOS is a walled garden. Apple controls what you can and can't install on your hardware."

In a private group chat in June, dozens of Democratic political influencers discussed whether to take advantage of an enticing opportunity. They were being offered $8,000 per month to take part in a secretive program aimed at bolstering Democratic messaging on the internet. But the contract sent to them from Chorus, the nonprofit arm of a liberal influencer marketing platform, came with some strings.

Google will throttle Pixel 10 charging, battery and that makes me upset

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-27 11:00:20

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google announced a mandatory Battery Health Assistance (BHA) feature for the Pixel 9a earlier this year. This feature essentially reduces the battery’s effective capacity and charging speeds as the cell ages, in the name of safety. This greatly concerned me, as the feature was optional for previously released Pixel phones. Now, Google has confirmed that this feature is also mandatory on the Pixel 10 series of phones.

Qualcomm’s next Elite processor could have a ridiculously confusing name

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the next Snapdragon 8 Elite chip could be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This is a major departure from the expected Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or 8 Elite Gen 2 names. We’re guessing this is because Qualcomm is readying an apparent Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip as well.

In 2011, archaeologists found something unusual in a Roman toilet.
