Unicode's new emoji refuses to put respect on Bigfoot's name

'Hairy Creature' is one of several new emoji coming in Unicode 17.0. The Unicode Consortium has announced that it's adding what's essentially a Bigfoot emoji to the open Unicode standard this fall. The famous cryptid will appear as "Hairy Creature" alongside a selection of other fun new emoji options in Unicode 17.0. It might seem strange that a consortium of companies as powerful as Apple, Google and Microsoft would practically subtweet one of North America's most famous semi-mythological cre

Dyson is making a splash this Prime Day with some of its biggest Prime Day discounts ever on Amazon – a rare move for the brand which has never been known to lower prices on major sale days. This year, however, Dyson is slashing prices across its line, from its top-selling vacuums to air purifiers, hair dryers, and most excitingly, the ultra-popular Airwrap.

Shark Hair Dryer Now Less Than Black Friday, a Budget-Friendly Dyson Alternative in Prime Day Deals

Most people don’t pay much attention to their hair dryer until it becomes a problem. Maybe yours takes forever to get through thick hair, leaves your ends frizzy instead of smooth, or feels so bulky that drying your hair turns into a full upper body workout. A good dryer should help you feel polished and put together without making your morning routine any harder than it needs to be. And it should also dry your hair quickly. Here’s the thing. You don’t have to get a Dyson dryer to do that either

Prime Day Slashes Dyson Airwrap to Record Low, Limited Quantities Up for Grabs on This Premium Hair Tools

If you want your hair to look nice each day, you probably have to spend a modicum of time styling it. Unless you’re one of those lucky few who can wake up with perfectly coiffed hair and run with it, maybe you use a curling iron or hair dryer to achieve your look. What if you had all of those things in one so you could curl, straighten, or otherwise style your locks to your liking and you could accomplish just about anything with all of those attachments? Well, you can. And you can get it for le

Too Pricey in Your Amazon Cart Before? Not anymore, Dyson’s Supersonic Hair Dryer Hits Its Lowest Price

Blowouts can get expensive. You pay over $100 each week to have your hair washed, dried, and styled, and it should theoretically last you for days if you take care of it. You can expend it with dry shampoo of course, but you’ll soon end up needing to do it the next week. It gets a little much if you’re saving, and driving to the salon can be annoying. What’s the solution? A great hair tool that helps you tame your mane at home. And if you move fast, you can get one at Amazon without having to bu

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Hits a New All-Time Low, but Amazon Offers It Only to Prime Members

Shark FlexStyle Multi-Styler Is Now Over 2x Cheaper Than the Dyson Airwrap, Stock Is Running Out Fast

If you’ve ever tried to recreate a salon-style blowout at home and ended up with sore arms, frizzy strands, or a drawer full of half-used hair tools, you’re not alone. Getting professional-looking results without the help of a stylist can be tricky, especially when you’re working with multiple hot tools, tangled cords, and limited time. Honestly? At some point, you decide to head back to the salon and have a stylist finish what you started because it’s so annoying to deal with. But that’s why ha

Anthros Chair V2 Review: Surprisingly Great

It's rare for me to keep sitting on a chair I'm reviewing well after I've given it enough testing time. Usually, I want to hop back on my Herman Miller Embody, which feels just right for my body. But the Anthros V2 has been a pleasant surprise. It's been on my radar for several months, thanks to endless Instagram marketing reels, but honestly, those just made me even more skeptical. Anthros is a newcomer to the scene, only launching the first version of the chair in 2023. It makes grand claims

Amazon Restocks the Dyson V11 and Drops Its Price to a Stunning New All-Time Low

When it comes to cordless stick vacuums, Dyson is the most prestigious brand on the market.

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. They'll work with nearly every office chair, though the company notes they don't work with Ikea chairs. The soft polyurethane material means these won't scratch or chip hardwood floors, as some plastic casters do, plus

3 Best Thermal Brush, Tested and Reviewed by WIRED (2025)

You've seen thermal brushes before, maybe touted as a blow-out brush or an infrared brush. The best thermal brush for you will recreate a blow-out type of look on your dry hair—different than a blow-dry brush, which is designed for wet hair but has a similar look. It reminds me of how I would use a curler in my youth to straighten while adding a little body to the roots and a little curl to the ends. If that's your preferred hairstyle too, then these are the devices for you. Thermal brushes use

It has a slot for easy brush removal if hair gets stuck around the bars, which is a helpful thing to have when you’re dealing with pet (and human) hair. The lever and the angle of the lid for emptying are counterintuitive, and the first few times I emptied it, the debris went everywhere.

The 6 Best Blow-Dry Brushes (2025): Round, Oval, and More

What About Thermal Brushes? You might have seen two different kinds of brushes while shopping that promise blowout results. In this guide, the term blow-dry brush is exclusively used for devices that blow hot air out of the bristles onto wet hair to dry and style your hair. Meanwhile, devices for dry hair are called infrared or thermal brushes, as they use infrared heat instead of hot air to style your hair in a smooth blowout. Blow-dry brushes are only meant for wet hair, while thermal brushes
