Mom-Approved Best Pregnancy Pillows to Help You Sleep Better While Pregnant

Sleeping well during pregnancy is tough, and expectant mothers may experience sleep issues.

Tell HN: Meta developer account suspended

Hi all, my Meta developer account was suddenly restricted without warning, and there’s no way to appeal or reach support. I believe this may have been triggered by a location (read, IP address) change: I’m a student-entrepreneur who recently moved from China to Kenya for school holidays. I’m building a WhatsApp-based accounting tool for African small businesses, and this restriction is blocking critical operations. I’ve come across others facing the same issue, with no review option or clear re

14 Best Office Chairs of 2025— I've Tested Nearly 60 to Pick Them

Replace Your Casters The wheels on the bottom of your chair are among the easiest parts to replace. If your current casters don't roll smoothly or are too loud, it might be worth replacing them instead of buying a whole new chair. I like these from Stealtho, a Ukrainian company.

The soft polyurethane material means these won't scratch or chip hardwood floors, as some plastic casters do, plus

The "USB killer" is dead: Apple drops FireWire support in macOS 26

What just happened? FireWire was Apple's ambitious attempt to establish a novel connectivity technology for its computer ecosystem back in the 90s. Now, Cupertino is unceremoniously removing the standard from its modern operating system capabilities. The recently introduced macOS 26 "Tahoe" will bring a new naming scheme for Apple's operating system ecosystem, novel features, and a highly questionable Vista-like UI redesign. The upcoming release will also mark the end of official support for ou

Low-wage tech support workers become a new gateway for cyberattacks

Editor's take: As businesses increasingly rely on outsourced tech support to cut costs, the risks associated with these operations are coming into sharper focus.

The MacBook Air is the obvious loser as the sun sets on the Intel Mac era

For the last three years, we've engaged in some in-depth data analysis and tea-leaf reading to answer two questions about Apple's support for older Macs that still use Intel chips. First, was Apple providing fewer updates and fewer years of software support to Macs based on Intel chips as it worked to transition the entire lineup to its internally developed Apple Silicon? And second, how long could Intel Mac owners reasonably expect to keep getting updates? The answer to the first question has
