A Modular Couch Is Worth It. Here’s Why

A sofa is one of the biggest investments you can make in home decor, and the last thing you want is to make the wrong choice. A good couch will be with you for a decade, and it should not only be comfortable and look great, it should also have the versatility to adapt to your needs in new spaces and seasons of your life. You should consider a modular sofa. That's the kind that comes in individual pieces you can pull apart, put back together, and rearrange to suit whatever you fancy. Usually, yo

Becoming the person who does the thing

It can be disorienting when our beliefs shift. The world we helped create no longer exists, and our role in it transforms too. It can be unsettling, naturally. But that's kind of the point. Looking back at times when I held certain beliefs—about how the world works, and what my role in this story is—it can feel less like a mod was installed and more like an entirely new operating system was swapped in. Up until my late twenties, I could count the number of times I had been to the gym on one h

YouTube Music rolls out dual-pane Now Playing redesign on Android, iOS

After testing first got underway in November, YouTube Music is now rolling out a big Now Playing redesign on Android and iOS.

After the song name (which can be tapped to access Related) and artist, you now get the controls row. This does not really impact one-handed usage, but it does move things further up the screen.

Doorbell prankster that tormented residents of apartments turns out to be a slug

Inhabitants of an apartment block in Bavaria, southern Germany, who called police to investigate the relentless buzzing of their doorbells late at night were surprised to find the culprit was not a teenage prankster as they had suspected, but a slug. The slug had been sliding up and down the bell plate, creating havoc in the building and tearing angry residents out of their beds long after midnight when they could not sleep for the noise. At first they had suspected the so-called klingelstreic

Gmail’s new tab keeps all your order delivery and purchase emails in one tidy place

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Gmail is getting an update that will introduce a new “Purchases” tab. The new view will put all of your purchase and delivery updates in one place.

Gmail will now filter your purchases into a new tab

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Ends Its Bumpy Season With a Similarly Bumpy Finale

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season has been its bumpiest ride yet, with more lows than highs. But in something that feels like somewhat of a reset for the series, its finale brings together elements from a few of those highs (and a few of those lows, for good or ill) to deliver an ending that at the very least brings the Enterprise into proverbial spacedock smoothly… if not without a few scrapes along the hull. Yes, the mostly good news is that “New Life and New Civilizations” (which g

Flynn Lives in New ‘Tron: Ares’ Trailer That Goes Heavy on Jeff Bridges

There are a lot of big names in the cast of Tron: Ares but, really, there’s one that truly sells the movie. That’s Jeff Bridges. Bridges, of course, starred in the first Tron over 40 years ago, as well as its sequel, Tron: Legacy, 15 years ago. His character, Kevin Flynn, is the key to everything that has happened in this story, and while Tron: Ares doesn’t seem to be about him, the fact he’s in it at all is a major selling point. That’s why we really enjoyed this new trailer released by Disney

Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3 Hands-On: Time for a Bigger Reboot?

Excuse the pun, but all of the air at the Steve Jobs Theater at Tuesday’s Apple Event was sucked up by the super-skinny iPhone Air. Not to say that the iPhone 17 Pros, especially in Cosmic Orange, didn’t get their fair share of oglers (it did), but it did feel like many attendees took a quick glance at the new Apple Watches and floated on by to get back to the iPhone Air. I wasn’t at all surprised by the deflated interest in the three new Apple Watches that were announced. They’re basically int
