I Asked Crime Experts When Home Break-Ins Usually Happen and the Answers Stunned Me

Modern home security cameras and smart systems are well-equipped to watch over our homes -- I should know, I've spent years testing more models than I can count. The biggest advantage is that they can watch your home when you're not there, like on a summer vacation or asleep at night. But when is your home the most vulnerable? I took a look. It turns out that burglars tend to break into houses or look for vulnerabilities at a few specific times. Knowing when can help you stay safer and pick the

Best Home Security Cameras for Apple HomeKit and Siri in 2025

Today’s home security cameras come packed with features, not to mention testing out compatibility with the Apple Home app. We test in several different ways in our homes and CNET offices to really check out everything these cameras can down. Set up and camera quality As we set up cameras, we pay close attention to their design and how fragile or durable it is, as well as what features they have -- for example, how easy it is to change batteries or insert a microSD card. And, of course, we spen

No, the Sun Isn't Safer Than Tanning Beds. Plus, 17 Other Health Myths We're Busting

Cracking your knuckles will cause arthritis. Eggs raise your cholesterol levels. Coffee stunts your growth. For decades, myths like these have influenced consumer decisions, originating from obscure studies or the opinion of a health "influencer". Science has debunked much of this conventional wisdom that percolates as fact. Here are 18 common health myths that everyone needs to stop believing right now. Myth: Exercising at night ruins your sleep Feel free to work out at night if that's your j

Here are the laptops I’d tell any parent to consider for their back-to-school student

is a reviewer covering laptops and the occasional gadget. He spent over 15 years in the photography industry before joining The Verge as a deals writer in 2021. We’re in the heart of summer fun, but it’s already time for back-to-school planning, especially if that involves buying a new laptop. The dizzying number of different laptops and configurations can feel overwhelming, especially if you want something that doesn’t cost too much but will still last a long time. My general guidelines are t

Tesla vet says that ‘reviewing real products’ — not mockups — is the key to staying innovative

GM’s EVs have been on a roll lately. After selling just the Chevy Bolt for years, a wave of new models — now up to 17 fully electrified vehicles — has pushed the automaker into second place in the U.S. behind Tesla. How did it get there? With a little help from a Tesla veteran. GM board member Jon McNeil was president of Tesla during the development and introduction of the Model 3, a crucial period of the company’s growth. One of the things he credits for Tesla’s success is how Elon Musk ran p

I tried one of the first Material 3 Expressive apps so I could see the future of Android

Joe Maring / Android Authority Ever since Google announced Material 3 Expressive in May, I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on Android’s new design language. However, with Android 16 QPR1 not rolling out until later this year, and Google still in the testing phases of Material 3 Expressive redesigns for its apps, it’s going to be a while before we really feel the impact of Android’s big redesign. Thankfully, it’s now possible to get a little taste of what it’ll be like. Last week, t

What is X-Forwarded-For and when can you trust it? (2024)

The X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header provides crucial insight into the origin of web requests. The header works as a mechanism for conveying the original source IP addresses of clients, and not just across one hop, but through chains of multiple intermediaries. This list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is helpful to understand where requests have really come from in scenarios where they traverse several servers, proxies, or load balancers. A typical HTTP request goes on a bit of a journey, traversi

Turn any diagram image into an editable Draw.io file. No more redrawing

Look, we know there are other tools out there. But we built this one because we needed it ourselves. Here's what makes our image to drawio converter different. It Actually Understands Diagrams Here's the thing - most tools just see shapes and lines. Our image to drawio converter sees diagrams. Feed it a whiteboard photo, and it knows that wobbly rectangle is meant to be a process box. Give it a screenshot, and it figures out which arrows connect to which shapes. We spent months training it on r

China’s Smart Glasses Are Once Again Going All the Way Off

There are officially too many wild pairs of smart glasses coming out of China to keep track of. First, it was Xiaomi with its Ray-Ban-stomping pair of glasses that can record 45 minutes of consecutive video and boast an 8.5-hour battery life. Then, just last week, a company called Wigain announced a breakthrough in making mass-producible smart glasses with optical waveguide lenses. Those, I might add, also feel very Meta-killing. Now, it’s Alibaba’s turn, or it’s about to be if rumors are to be

With Trends Like 'Japanese Walking,' Is Walking Actually Exercise? We Asked Personal Trainers

You've heard of "hot girl walks," but what about "Japanese walking"? It's also known as interval walking training, and The Washington Post reports that even though this technique is now going viral on TikTok, Japanese walking came about after a 2007, Japan-based study concluded that high-intensity interval walking training may help protect against age-related decreases in muscle strength and peak oxygen uptake as well as increases in blood pressure. A more recent, July 2025 study found that pre

Do You Need a Barbecue Knife?

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a

Tesla plans 'friends and family' car service in California, regulator says

A vehicle Tesla is using for robotaxi testing purposes on Oltorf Street in Austin, Texas, US, on Sunday, June 22, 2025. In an earnings call this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk teased an expansion of his company's fledgling robotaxi service to the San Francisco Bay Area and other U.S. markets. But California regulators are making clear that Tesla is not authorized to carry passengers on public roads in autonomous vehicles and would require a human driver in control at all times. "Tesla is not allow

Wolfenstein TV Series in the Works at Amazon

After a successful first season of the Fallout series, Amazon MGM Studios will adapt another video game. Interestingly enough, this franchise has a story that's similar to the one in Amazon's first popular TV series, The Man in the High Castle. Amazon will begin work on adapting the video game Wolfenstein, according to a report from Variety on Friday. There are few details about the show's plot available other than the tagline "The story of killing Nazis is evergreen." The showrunner of the se

These Stylish Bluetooth Headphones With Unbelievable Battery Life Are Cheaper Than Ever

Discount available: Marshall's Major V headphones are worth it even at full price but right now they're down to $100 -- or around 38% off -- on Amazon, their all-time lowest price on the site. This covers the black, brown and cream colored versions, but not the midnight blue version for whatever reason.

Tesla wants to bring robotaxis to San Francisco. Here’s what’s standing in the way.

Tesla is launching an even-more-limited version of its early robotaxi service in San Francisco this weekend, according to Business Insider, after an initial rollout began last month in Austin, Texas. The company plans to send invites to Tesla owners to test the service, according to the report. Depending on how and if Tesla proceeds, its actions could violate state regulations — and even if there’s a human safety driver sitting behind the wheel while its vehicles operate autonomously. Two sta

Do not download the app, use the website

The 2010s was the Wild West of the mobile world. "Mobile-first" was the buzzword, much like "AI-first" is today. Every company, from the biggest social media giants to your local pizza parlor, seemed to be pestering you to download their app. There was a genuine hype train, and everyone was on board. The apps, frankly, were always mediocre, and a far cry from the full functionality of their website counterparts. But the message was clear. If you weren't on mobile, you were falling behind. Fast

Vince Gilligan’s New Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Show Is Coming Real Soon

Amid all the hubbub of San Diego Comic-Con weekend, Apple TV finally unveiled its new sci-fi drama series, Pluribus, created by Breaking Bad creator and Better Call Saul co-creator Vince Gilligan. Although Pluribus is Gilligan’s first venture into sci-fi, it will feature a familiar face: Rhea Seehorn from Better Call Saul. Apple TV’s press release for Pluribus, like its teaser poster, doesn’t reveal much about the show in terms of what viewers can expect from its story, aside from Gilligan’s na

India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch

India has ordered the blocking of 25 streaming services — many with millions of viewers and even paying subscribers — for allegedly promoting “obscene” content, in one of the South Asian nation’s biggest digital crackdowns yet. The order affects lesser-known, but wildly popular services like Ullu and ALTT that cater to the country’s mass-market appetite for adult and edgy entertainment. This week, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued directives to block access to websites and app

It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA

It’s time for modern CSS to kill the SPA Native CSS transitions have quietly killed the strongest argument for client-side routing. Yet people keep building terrible apps instead of performant websites. The app-like fallacy “Make it feel like an app.” At some point during the scoping process, someone says the words. A CMO. A digital lead. A brand manager. And with that single phrase, the architecture is locked in: it’ll be an SPA. Probably React. Maybe Vue. Almost certainly deployed on Verce
