I love outlet adaptors for HomeKit, but if you still use them to automate lamps, it might be time to switch things up (sorry for the pun). Smart plugs are a great way to get started, but smart bulbs give you more control over the lighting experience and work with overhead lights. With smart bulbs, you can change the color, set different brightness levels, and group them by room or scene. It is an easy upgrade that adds flexibility without complicating your setup. This week, I am looking at the L

When Nintendo officially revealed the Switch 2 back in January, it confirmed long-standing rumors that the new handheld console would enjoy backward compatibility with the games from the original Switch—physically and digitally. Good news, but there was one disclaimer: "Certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2." That sent some players into, if not a panic, at least a period of confusion. Given that the original Switch launched in 2017, man

Purple Carrot is a completely vegan meal subscription service that offers both meal kits and ready-to-eat meals.

It’s a beautiful heirloom, and I think about my friends whenever I’ve made batches of chocolate chip cookies over the years.
