Lyft has a new feature that can help take the awkwardness out of riding with strangers. On Thursday, the ride-sharing company announced that you'll be able to favorite or block a driver in the app after a ride. It's good news if you enjoyed your ride and wouldn't mind having that driver give you a ride again. And, if you're like me, it gives you a chance to be more comfortable with who you're riding with from the airport or dinner. Here's how it works and what drivers can also expect to see on

At WWDC 2025, Apple revealed a major visual shake-up for iOS (not to mention the rest of the company’s operating systems). This is the biggest change, aesthetically, since the shift away from the stitching, textures and skeuomorphic design of the iOS 4. It also comes with significantly fewer AI and Siri updates this time around. However, it’s the smaller touches that make iOS 26 seem like a notable improvement over its predecessor.

Most people, after suffering consequences for a bad decision, will alter their future behavior to avoid a similar negative outcome. That's just common sense. But many social circles have that one friend who never seems to learn from those consequences, repeatedly self-sabotaging themselves with the same bad decisions. When it comes to especially destructive behaviors, like addictions, the consequences can be severe or downright tragic. Why do they do this? Researchers at the University of New S

For over two decades, “Google it” has been the default way to find answers online.
