I’m also 6'2" and often find myself at tables designed for eating, not working. I don’t always have daily access to the laptop stands and ergonomic accessories that fill my home office. Throw in my young kids that I’m always chasing around our house, and surprise, surprise: I’ve got some lower back pain. Turns out, laptops were never designed to be our go

For the first time ever, they detected the presence of two closely related parasitic wasp species previously only found in Europe. Don’t be too personally afraid, though: these wasps only infest other wasps. A was

How does the US use water?

Water infrastructure often gets less attention and focus than other types of infrastructure. Both the Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Energy have annual budgets around $46 billion dollars. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has an annual budget of $60 billion.

U.S. alcohol consumption drops to a 90-year low, new poll finds

These are 5 of my favorite gallery apps, but one stands out from the rest

Andy Walker / Android Authority Every modern smartphone has a capable camera system, and there’s a good chance that you regularly browse the images you capture with it. Most devices come with a brand-adjacent gallery app. I find that Samsung Gallery is one of the best in this regard. But what if you don’t own a Samsung and want a brand-agnostic option?

Ready-made stem cell therapies for pets could be coming

Earlier this week, San Diego startup Gallant announced $18 million in funding to bring the first FDA-approved ready-to-use stem cell therapy to veterinary medicine. If it passes regulatory muster, it could create a whole new way to treat our fur babies. It’s still an experimental field, even though people have been researching stem cells for humans for decades. Seven-year-old Gallant’s first target is a painful mouth condition in cats called Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS), which Gallan

I instantly improved Samsung Gallery’s search using its hidden menu, and you can too

More workers are using AI, but businesses still struggle to make it useful
