There are almost countless AI chatbots you can pick up and start using for free, with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot remaining the typical go-to options. For most people, the free options are good enough for general text and image queries, though there are limits, like only having more basic models, or not being able to generate many images. If you're running into these limitations on a free version of your favorite chatbot, the thought of upgrading to a paid version may have crossed your

I'm a fan of the New York Times Mini Crossword -- a sporty, streamlined companion to the newspaper's legendary regular daily crossword. Typically, the Mini Crossword (we publish the answers daily) has roughly a dozen clues to work through -- six across-clues and six down-clues -- and you can complete it in less than a minute if all goes well. It makes me feel smart, unlike the big crossword, which sometimes makes me throw things. But in late August, some Mini Crossword players suddenly ran int

4 Things You Should Never Cook in a Nonstick Skillet, According to an Expert

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-28 21:00:06

Nonstick cookware has its place in the kitchen, but its limitations should keep it from being your everyday pan. When used in the wrong situations, nonstick cookware can tank a recipe, leaving meat and vegetables without a proper sear. Some foods can damage the surface of your nonstick skillet, leading to a shorter lifespan or the release of nonstick materials into your food. As much as we love the easy cleanup, most foods fare better in a stainless-steel, carbon-steel, or cast-iron skillet. I

When an old laptop or printer finally gives out, the biggest question is often, "What do I do with it now?" Tossing electronics in the trash is bad for the environment and can even be illegal.
