The M3 chip makes it powerful enough for gaming, photo editing, or juggling multiple apps, and it stays thin and light at <a href="https://zdcs.link/a5wPm5?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=11%20inches&short_url=a5wPm5&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><u>11 inches</u></a>.

It’s an ideal middle ground for folks who want a large screen for reading, drawing, or watching movies, but don’t necessarily need the cutting-edge OLED display of the Pro.</p>

Powered by the M4 chip, which debuted here before Apple’s own Macs, it’s fast, thin, and more visually stunning than any iPad before it. And right now, the <a href="https://zdcs.link/aoGAql?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=11-inch%20version&short_url=aoGAql&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><u>11-inch version</u></a> is currently at its lowest price yet, according to <a href="https://lifehacker.com/best-price-tracking-tools" target="_blank"><u>price trackers</u></a>, at $894.99. If you want the best performance in a compact form, this is it.</p>
80. <p>Apple’s flagship tablet, the <a href="https://zdcs.link/QWYV8x?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=13-inch%20Pro&short_url=QWYV8x&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><u>13-inch Pro</u></a>, is also on sale at $1,165.80 from its usual $1,299. It’s got the same powerhouse M4 chip and OLED display as the <a href="https://zdcs.link/aoGAql?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=11-inch%20Pro&short_url=aoGAql&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><u>11-inch Pro</u></a> but stretched across a massive screen that’s great for video editing, multitasking, media, or design. It’s also Apple’s thinnest device ever, at just 0.2 inches. You’ll pay a premium, but if you want your iPad to replace your laptop, this is the one to get.</p>

106. <p>Chances are, no matter where you live, you live in tick country. These parasitic arachnids love to crawl onto our bodies, explore for a bit, and then settle down and bury their little heads into our skin. They can transmit illnesses like Lyme disease, making them a safety issue in addition to simply being gross. But a lot of myths have grown up around the tick phenomenon—including bad advice for how to remove them once they’re attached. So let’s learn the truth.</p>
107. <h2 id="myth-you-should-remove-a-tick-with-a-burnt-match">Myth: You should remove a tick with a burnt match</h2>
108. <p>When you find that tick on yourself—or worse, on your kid or on a loved one’s hard-to-reach body part—don’t reach for the matches. If a tick is attached to you, slowly sucking your blood, yanking the tick out with tweezers will work, but it might also mean you leave the head and mouthparts embedded in your skin. Ew. So you’ve probably heard that it’s best to get the tick to voluntarily let go. Unfortunately, that just makes things worse.</p>
109. <p>In other words, <em>don’t</em> burn a match, blow it out, and place the still-hot match on the tick’s abdomen. These methods <a href="http://www.aafp.org/afp/2002/0815/p643.html" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">make the tick vomit up the blood they’ve already eaten</a>, squirting it (along with their saliva and possibly infectious germs from someone they previously bit) into your bloodstream.</p>
110. <p>Instead, try to grab the tick near the skin and pull it out from there. Don’t have the fortitude to execute such a precise maneuver with tweezers? The <a href="https://zdcs.link/zJgW5l?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Tick%20Twister&short_url=zJgW5l&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Tick Twister</a> and <a href="https://zdcs.link/QP8Doo?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Tick%20Key&short_url=QP8Doo&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Tick Key</a> make the job almost foolproof. I have an insect/arachnid phobia that I can’t quite explain, but when my husband got a tick on his back, I was able to use the Tick Key to remove it without having to touch the thing, or even look closely at it. You just slide the Tick Key over the disgusting, wiggly-legged lump, and off it pops.</p>
111. <h2 id="myth-alcohol-or-nail-polish-remover-can-safely-remove-a-tick">Myth: Alcohol or nail polish remover can safely remove a tick</h2>
112. <p>It’s true that alcohol or nail polish remover (or even soapy water) may get a tick to release from your skin. Unfortunately, the downside is the same as with a match: The tick is liable to first barf its stomach contents into your bloodstream. Please yoink it out instead; I cannot recommend the Tick Key enough.</p>
113. <h2 id="myth-ticks-only-come-from-the-woods">Myth: Ticks only come from the woods</h2>
114. <p>You certainly <em>can</em> pick up a tick from the woods, but you’re also likely to find them in parks and backyards. Ticks <a href="https://blogs.cornell.edu/nysipm/2020/10/12/the-leaves-are-falling-manage-wisely-for-ticks/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">bury themselves in damp soil or leaf litter</a>, and climb up on grass or brush to wait for their prey (a deer, a mouse, or a squeamish human, for example) to pass by.</p>
115. <p>You can make your yard less of a tick haven by keeping your grass short, removing any rotten leaves or similar debris, and get rid of brush piles where mice like to live. (Despite the name, deer ticks love all kinds of mammals, mice included.) Dogs can spread ticks, too, so put some Frontline on your pup.</p>
116. <p>When you go to tick-prone areas, wear shoes that you’ve thoroughly sprayed with <a href="https://zdcs.link/aXWqEe?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=permethrin&short_url=aXWqEe&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">permethrin</a>. This is an insecticide that is very safe for humans but stops ticks from crawling up your legs. Treat your favorite hiking boots, socks, and pants with the stuff; consider it for the shoes you use for yard work, too. To finish the job, spritz on a <a href="https://zdcs.link/9yDdbO?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=DEET-based%20spray&short_url=9yDdbO&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">DEET-based spray</a> whenever you head out to the backyard or park. DEET is also safe when used properly, even for kids, and it will repel mosquitoes as well as ticks.</p>
117. <p>When you get home, make sure to <a href="https://lifehacker.com/five-common-mistakes-when-checking-for-ticks" target="_blank">check yourself for ticks</a>, or at the very least, take a shower. Ticks crawl around on your skin for a few hours before settling in to bite, so that post-hike (or post-yardwork) shower is pretty effective at reducing your risk of a tick bite.</p>
118. <h2 id="myth-you-should-wear-a-hat-because-ticks-drop-out-of-trees">Myth: You should wear a hat, because ticks drop out of trees</h2>
119. <p>You may well find ticks in your hair, but they aren’t falling from the sky. Remember, ticks spend their time in damp leaf litter so that they don’t dehydrate. When they’re ready to snag a meal, they don’t climb too far from the ground. They’ll go to about ankle or knee height, and hang off the edge of a twig or blade of grass with their legs extended. Entomologists, who probably think this is cute, call this behavior <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/about/index.html" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">questing</a>.</p>
120. <p>Once you brush against the tick, it’s on your body, and all bets are off. The tick will climb up, up, up your pantleg, and you could subsequently find it <em>anywhere</em>. In <a href="https://academic.oup.com/jme/article-abstract/36/3/361/919157/Attachment-Sites-of-Four-Tick-Species-Acari" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">one study</a>, the lone star tick “favored the lower extremities [legs], buttocks, and groin,” while blacklegged ticks didn’t care and would bite anywhere.</p>
121. <p>Ticks could be in your hair, in your beard, in your armpits, or where the sun don’t shine. They’re also very small, so you (or a very close friend) need to examine these areas carefully.</p>
122. <h2 id="myth-if-a-tick-bit-you-you-probably-have-lyme-disease">Myth: If a tick bit you, you probably have Lyme disease</h2>
123. <p>It’s time for a little bit of good news. You probably <em>don’t</em> have Lyme disease. First, although Lyme is common in more areas than it used to be, it’s still in just a small portion of the U.S. Most cases are in the northeast, from Virginia on up, with another swath in the Wisconsin-Minnesota area. If you live anywhere else, you’re much less likely to catch the disease at home.</p>
124. <p>Instead, you might get <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/ehrlichiosis/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">ehrlichiosis</a>, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/babesiosis/about/?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/babesiosis/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">babesiosis</a>, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/rmsf/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Rocky Mountain spotted fever</a>, or any of a variety of other tick-borne diseases. Each one has its own home range, so check with your local health department to see what they say you should be worried about.</p>
125. <p>And even if the tick carries the Lyme disease bacteria, it doesn’t transmit them until it’s been attached and feeding for <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/causes/?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/transmission/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">36 to 48 hours</a>. So if you know that tick wasn’t there yesterday, there’s a good chance you’re in the clear.</p>
126. <h2 id="myth-you-should-get-that-tick-tested">Myth: You should get that tick tested</h2>
127. <p>We’ve told you in the past that if you find a tick, you should save it for testing. That depends, though: Back in 2010, my husband found an evil little tick sucking the life force out of my adorable dear infant son, and the pediatrician had us send the tick to be tested at the county health department. We rushed to do so, and the results came back negative. Phew.</p>
128. <p>But a few years later, another of our kids was bitten by a tick, and the doctor shrugged and told us testing was no longer recommended. Tick bites are fairly common these days, the tick can have Lyme without giving it to you, and you can get Lyme disease even if this particular tick wasn’t the one that did the deed. Check with your doctor to see if they agree with ours; this advice may vary.</p>
129. <p>By the way, a blood test for Lyme <a href="https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2021/1200/p652.html" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">isn’t likely to help either</a>. Instead, your provider will probably recommend watching for <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/signs_symptoms/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">symptoms of Lyme disease</a>—not just the famous bull’s eye rash, since it doesn’t always appear, but also flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and achiness. If you have any of these, with or without noticing a tick bite, call the doc. And if Lyme is common in your area, your provider may want to treat you with a course of heavy-duty antibiotics whether you show symptoms or not.</p>
130. <h2 id="myth-lyme-disease-always-starts-with-a-bulls-eye-rash">Myth: Lyme disease always starts with a bull's-eye rash</h2>
131. <p>An expanding, ring-shaped rash around a tick bite, known to doctors as erythema migrans, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/signs-symptoms/lyme-disease-rashes.html?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/signs_symptoms/rashes.html" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">occurs in 70 to 80 percent</a> of people who contract Lyme disease.</p>
132. <p>That doesn’t mean you’re in the clear if you don’t have a bull’s eye rash; you may just be one of the other 20 to 30 percent. Other symptoms of Lyme disease may include fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, and occasionally other symptoms like joint pain or facial palsy.</p>
133. <p>There are also <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/signs-symptoms/lyme-disease-rashes.html?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/signs_symptoms/rashes.html" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">a variety of other rashes</a>, like ringworm, that can have a circular appearance but are not related to Lyme disease. If you have a medical concern, seek medical care so you can find out what’s going on and get treated.</p>
134. <h2 id="myth-if-you-get-lyme-disease-youll-have-it-for-life">Myth: If you get Lyme disease, you'll have it for life</h2>
135. <p>There’s some truth to this one: If you had Lyme disease, and were already treated for it, you could still have <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/signs-symptoms/chronic-symptoms-and-lyme-disease.html?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/postlds/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">fatigue and pain for months afterward</a>. This happens because the disease damages parts of your body, and it can take a long time to recover from that even after antibiotics have killed the responsible bacteria.</p>
136. <p>The disease can also cause damage that lasts after the Lyme bacteria are gone. As one example, Lyme that is untreated for long enough <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/hcp/clinical-care/lyme-arthritis.html?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/treatment/LymeArthritis.html" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">can result in permanent arthritis</a>.</p>
137. <p>But there is also a <a href="https://jezebel.com/how-celebrities-are-changing-the-way-we-see-chronic-lym-1764109037" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">whole mythology</a> around <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4477530/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">“chronic” Lyme disease</a>, where people describe wide-ranging symptoms that they say are caused by hidden colonies of the bacteria. Click the wrong Google results while you’re recovering, and you’ll find yourself deep in a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and alternative medicine clinics that say they have the <em>real</em> way to treat you, even though your doctor wants to hide the truth.</p>
138. <p>Probably some of the people with “chronic Lyme” have real autoimmune or neurological conditions that are going undiagnosed while they chase a fictional villain. If you end up with Lyme disease, don’t be afraid to seek help (or even second opinions), but do keep your wits about you. There are a lot of myths out there.</p>

These aren't as monumental as you might expect for a 10-year anniversary update, but there are some interesting changes here to check out.</p>
145. <h2 id="taste-match-playlists">Taste match playlists</h2>
146. <p>YouTube doesn't share many details about this new feature, but the press release does say this: Taste match playlists are designed to introduce new music to groups of people with similar interests. The playlists update daily based on whoever has subscribed to them.</p>
147. <p>This could be an interesting way to crowdsource new music. Rather than add new music manually, the listening histories of the users of each playlist inform the algorithm, which adds new music accordingly.</p>
148. <h2 id="bandsintown-integration">Bandsintown integration</h2>
149. <p>For this update, YouTube announced a partnership with Bandsintown, a site that helps you find new music playing in your area. When users watch a music video, a Short, or an Artist Channel, this new integration will let them know when the artist is playing near them. You can also get notifications when artists release new music, merch, and event dates.</p>
150. <h2 id="new-badges-for-music-videos">New badges for music videos</h2>
151. <p>"<a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/youtube-is-now-rolling-out-these-new-features" target="_blank">Badges</a>" are like awards for achieving certain goals or feats on YouTube. Since last year, you may have seen badges for "First to Watch" and "Top Listener."</p>
152. <p>YouTube is now rolling out new badges, specifically for music videos. Now, artists can earn badges for "view milestones." For example, if the artist gets 100,000, one million, or one billion views, they'll get badges in return. It's not clear if fans get badges for contributing to these view counts, or if they just apply to the artist's page.</p>
153. <h2 id="comments-on-albums-and-playlists-coming-soon">Comments on albums and playlists (coming soon)</h2>
154. <p>YouTube is teasing the ability to add comments on albums and playlists, similar to how you can comment on music videos. The company hasn't shared a timeline for when this feature will drop, however.</p>
155. <p>As a reminder, YouTube Music is available as a free service on iOS, Android, and the web. You can subscribe to YouTube Music for $10.99 per month, or get it as part of a YouTube Premium subscription for $13.99 per month.</p>

195. <p>The Soundcore Boom 3i is the first waterproof speaker designed to remain upright even in waves. No tilting means no distortion, sinking, or muffled sound when it's in the water, leading to louder and crisper audio. It also has an IP68 waterproof rating, is dustproof, drop-proof, and saltwater-resistant, making it one of the most durable options on the market. A detachable strap lets you go hands-free or hang it from a tree branch. </p>
196. <p>The sound is impressive, too, with 50W power and BassUp 2.0 delivering powerful, bass-heavy performance in a compact package. Battery life lasts up to 16 hours per charge, taking about four hours to fully recharge. This is moderate compared to similar speakers from JBL and Beats, which last 20-24 hours. It stands out with unique smart features, including a voice amplifier, emergency alarm, and “Buzz Clean,” which uses vibration to shake off dry sand. While it doesn’t support aux input, it runs on Bluetooth 5.3 and pairs with the Soundcore app. </p>

220. <p>During the first Trump presidency, I worked at a major news network and found it impossible to distance myself from the tumult of the daily news, which seemed to bring one major headline after another. Even when I got home at the end of the day, I found myself scrolling and scrolling my social media feeds, unable to disengage.</p>
221. <p>I don't work in political media anymore, but as the news continues to grow in terms of seriousness and sensationalism, from political upheaval to environmental disasters to violent wars, I've found myself falling into my old news-consuming habits. I know that constantly engaging with news and opinions about complex and upsetting topics isn't generally good for me, and can have a real effect on my mental health.</p>
222. <p>To help curb my habit before it gets out of control again, I've been turning to apps for regulation and distraction. Here are a few I've most found helpful.</p>
223. <h2 id="to-get-just-enough-news-apple-news-or-google-news">To get just enough news: Apple News (or Google News)</h2>

228. <p>Obviously, commentary and context from experts and people with lived experiences can be valuable tools for making sense of the news, but it's easy to get carried away consuming post after post and reaction after reaction. If you want to cut down on how much you're consuming and scrolling but don't want to cut out getting the news altogether, opt for a designated news app.</p>
229. <p>I've been using <a href="https://zdcs.link/aMJZ6q?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Apple%20News&short_url=aMJZ6q&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Apple News</a> ($12.99/month with a one-month free trial), which lets me customize the kinds of news I see and the publishers I read. I can open the app, glance at the headlines from these outlets, read an article if I want, and go about my day without getting sucked into a discourse hole.</p>
230. <p>I like Apple News (or Google News if you're on Android or don't want to pay Apple for the service) better than competitors like Flipboard because I don't want to have <em>too</em> many options. I want a curated, condensed look at current events, what other people are reading, and what I need to know, rather than a morass of too many things I could get stuck in for hours.</p>
231. <p><strong>Use Apple News for:</strong></p>
232. <ul>
233. <li>
234. <p>Seeing the headlines of the day</p>
235. </li>
236. <li>
237. <p>Reading reputable outlets when you want to dive deeper</p>
238. </li>
239. <li>
240. <p>Getting a sense of trending stories, which are featured in their own section</p>
241. </li>
242. <li>
243. <p>Reading content that would typically be paywalled (Apple News+ only)</p>
244. </li>
245. <li>
246. <p>Curating what you want to see</p>

254. <p>OK, so I can't completely disengage, which is why I haven't deleted my social apps altogether. In those cases, I try to curb my screen time. For this, I like <a href="https://zdcs.link/aBgOpJ?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Steppin&short_url=aBgOpJ&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Steppin</a>, which refuses me entry to apps on my blocklist unless I exchange time I've banked by walking around in the real world. <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/steppin-app-review" target="_blank">I've been using this app for five months</a> and enjoy it because it's a two-for-one deal: It forces me to walk around more, which is good for me, and keeps me off distracting apps, which can be bad for me. Best of all, it's free (but for now, only available on iOS).</p>
255. <p>Before I found Steppin, I was using <a href="https://zdcs.link/Qdbj7Z?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=One%20Sec&short_url=Qdbj7Z&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">One Sec</a>, which forces you to pause before opening designated apps, reminds you to do breathing exercises, tracks your time spent on those designated apps, and can even block certain ones. It's free to use for one app, or $19.99/year for unlimited apps. Ultimately, I like Steppin better because, in prompting you to enter in how many minutes of walking time you'd like to trade for app access, it provides that same mindful pause, plus other benefits, but if you only need the pause or don't get to walk much, this could be a good option for you.</p>
256. <p><strong>Use Steppin for:</strong></p>
257. <ul>
258. <li>
259. <p>Cutting down the time you spend scrolling</p>
260. </li>
261. <li>
262. <p>Finding encouragement to take a walk and focus on yourself</p>
263. </li>
264. <li>
265. <p>Building long-term habits that enable you to resist the urge to open an app and scroll</p>
266. </li>
267. </ul>

269. <div class="eloquent-imagery-image">
270. <div class="flex justify-center"><img class="border border-gray-100" src="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01JJ7KKR5ACJQ52QGWP7PJ694R/images-8.fill.size_2000x1126.v1755784719.png" alt="Headspace in iOS" width="2000" height="1126" loading="lazy" srcset="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01JJ7KKR5ACJQ52QGWP7PJ694R/images-8.fill.size_800x451.v1755784719.png 800w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01JJ7KKR5ACJQ52QGWP7PJ694R/images-8.fill.size_1400x788.v1755784719.png 1400w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01JJ7KKR5ACJQ52QGWP7PJ694R/images-8.fill.size_2000x1126.v1755784719.png 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px" /></div>

272. </div>
273. <p>There are two main problems with doomscrolling. First, you waste a lot of time, a problem addressed by the apps above. Second, and worse (for me), you can damage your mental wellbeing. So in addition to cutting down on doomscrolling, you should also have an app that counteracts its negative effects.</p>
274. <p>For this, I like <a href="https://zdcs.link/aM6qLO?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Headspace&short_url=aM6qLO&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Headspace</a> ($69.99/year with a 14-day free trial). It houses meditations, sleep sounds, tips on mindfulness, and more, with simple and calming graphics. You do have to remind yourself to use it, but the app is easy enough to use and produces clear enough results that it quickly became a habit for me. The meditative exercises can be small—as short as three minutes—and can be accessed anywhere, which is why I favor Headspace over other de-stressing apps I've tried.</p>
275. <p><strong>Use Headspace for:</strong></p>
276. <ul>
277. <li>
278. <p>Monthly check-ins to track your progress on stress or anxiety (depending which you are focused on)</p>
279. </li>
280. <li>
281. <p>Brown noise to fall asleep to (which I prefer to Spotify, as it doesn't wreck my algorithm)</p>
282. </li>
283. <li>
284. <p>A daily offering of custom grounding exercises, meditations, focus sessions, and even music, some of which you participate in with a group, so you feel less alone</p>
285. </li>
286. </ul>

292. <p>And many public places, from bars and restaurants to stores and even <a href="https://blog.puls.com/nyc-subway-wifi" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">transit hubs,</a> will now serve up wifi for you. These networks are easier to find than ever, and are much more secure and safe than they used to be too (no one wants to get in trouble for a hack that happened on their wifi).</p>
293. <p>But even with security improvements over the years, there's one key wifi security issue you need to be aware of when connecting to networks while out and about: fake or "evil twin" wifi hotspots set up <a href="https://www.bitdefender.com/en-gb/blog/hotforsecurity/fake-wi-fi-or-evil-twin-hotspots-a-brief-guide" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">by bad actors</a>.

298. </div>
299. <p>It doesn't take much to set up a public wifi network: You could <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/im-a-full-time-digital-nomad-and-this-wifi-hotspot-device-ensures-high" target="_blank">buy a wifi mobile hotspot</a>, set it up with a SIM or eSIM, and then create a network that way. Alternatively, you could even just use your phone or laptop, as long as it had a cellular connection which you would then be able to share with the wider world as a wifi network.</p>
300. <p>Say you do this while sat in a hotel lobby or coffee shop, and then give it an innocuous name such as 'GUEST_WIFI'. Chances are that several people in those areas are going to be looking for a wifi network to connect to, and they might just choose yours—which then gives you a certain level of oversight over what these other people are doing online.</p>
301. <p>At that point, any kind of login details entered into that fake wifi network can be captured by the person running the network—particularly if they're going to direct you to a spoof login page that asks for certain credentials to continue. In some cases, malware could be pushed to your devices.</p>
302. <p>To make the scam even more convincing, sometimes the fake wifi network will be set up with the same name and password as a legitimate one—say, if these details are displayed in public somewhere. Depending on which network has the strongest signal, your devices might see the untrustworthy wifi first.</p>

307. </div>
308. <p>As well as just being aware this scam exists and applying extra caution accordingly, always connect to wifi networks that are officially advertised, via signs, menus, guest information, and/or official websites. If you're in doubt, you can always check with a member of staff wherever you are.</p>
309. <p>Be wary of connecting to any wifi network you see that doesn't need a password to access it without a good reason—especially if there's no splash screen telling you you're in the right place (with a hotel or restaurant information page included, for example). Watch out for generic wifi network names that could apply anywhere.</p>
310. <p>If someone has tried to spoof the exact same wifi network as an official, legit one, then you should see both in the list of networks available on your device. At that point it's a very good idea to avoid connecting to either of them until you're able to verify which one is safe.</p>
311. <p>Many public wifi networks will greet you with a login or registration page, but on fake evil twin networks these will often ask for more information than is reasonable, or ask you to log into a sensitive account of some kind. They may well look basic and hastily constructed, without any official logos or information from the place you're in.</p>
312. <p>The standard public wifi rules always apply, as well: Keep banking and other sensitive tasks for your home wifi, get your devices to forget public wifi networks when you've finished using them, keep all your devices (and their browsers) up to date, and get one of <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/the-best-free-vpn-apps" target="_blank">the best VPNs</a> in place to add some extra protection to your browsing.</p>

But it’s taking a more subtle approach. Gemini has become a staple for many Android smartphones, not just Pixel, so the focus is on what Pixel can do differently: Using its new AI-tailored chip to provide smaller, on-device AI features that no one else can. Here are all the important AI features that will be coming exclusively to Pixel 10 series smartphones (including the Pro and Fold) later this year.&lt;/p&gt;
318. <h2 id="a-new-ai-tailored-chip-for-on-device-processing">A New AI-tailored Chip for on-device processing</h2>
319. <p>The bedrock of all these new changes is the new Tensor G5 chip. It's Google’s biggest silicon upgrade to date. Google has shifted to using TSMC’s latest 3 nm process, instead of Samsung’s foundries, meaning it's fully custom. This has, according to Google, lead to approximately 34% faster performance overall, but more importantly, the on-device Tensor Processing Unit that handles AI tasks is 60% faster than before.</p>
320. <p>This means that Google can run its lightweight <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/enable-gemini-nano-on-google-pixel-8" target="_blank">Gemini Nano</a> model in a more efficient and dynamic fashion, efficiently switching between sub-models depending on the use case.</p>
321. <p>Now, almost all the new AI features coming to Pixel 10 series are processed on-device, which lets them work offline and gives them more reign to use your data without privacy concerns.</p>

327. <p><a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/made-by-google-pixel-10-magic-cue" target="_blank"><u>Magic Cue is going to be everywhere</u></a> on Pixel 10, but only when it’s needed. It’s Google’s version of “contextual quiet computing”, where it surfaces important information and actionable steps exactly when needed. When not, it just doesn’t come up.</p>
328. <p>For example, say your friend messages you to ask about dinner reservations. Magic Cue can understand this, pull up relevant information from your Gmail or Google Calendar, and bring it up as a suggested text right there. All you have to do is tap to send it. This can work for flight details as well, which will display on screen during phone calls with the airline. This is built into most of Google's core apps, like Gmail, Calendar, Screenshots, Messages, and more.</p>

333. </div>
334. <p>In Pixel 10, you won’t need to use buttons and sliders to edit images anymore. Google is integrating <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/google-photos-is-getting-voice-based-ai-editing-made-by-google-2025" target="_blank"><u>Gemini right inside the Photos image editor</u></a>. It’s coming first to the Pixel 10 in the U.S.</p>
335. <p>With Gemini, you’ll be able to use your voice or text to edit your images, and you'll get responses back in real-time. You can give commands like “remove the cars in the background” or “restore this old photo”. If you don’t know exactly what you want, you can also just say something like “make it better”.</p>
336. <p>Image editing using AI also raises some concerns about whether what you're seeing is real. To get around this, Google is adding C2PA Content Credentials in Google Photos, which lets users view a photo's metadata to check all the ways AI was used in its creation.</p>
337. <h2 id="camera-coach">Camera Coach</h2>

341. </div>
342. <p>There’s a new AI mode built-in to the Pixel camera that isn’t purely about editing or enhancing images. It’s about helping you, the user, take better images from the get-go. Quick note: Google told Lifehacker that this one does send a photo to the cloud, but also said it gets deleted after you're done using the feature.</p>
343. <p>Essentially, Camera Coach analyzes a photo and gives you prompts or suggestions on how to take a better shot. It will tell you to maybe try moving a couple of steps back, or try inverting your phone to make the subject look taller. It can also suggest you shift the angle if the lighting is too harsh, and use AI to ideate scenarios that weren't in your original shot.</p>
344. <h2 id="ai-voice-translation-that-sounds-like-you">AI voice translation that sounds like you</h2>
345. <p>AI live translation is coming to Pixel’s Phone app. Pixel 10 can translate calls in real time, via speech-to-speech, and even matches the translated AI voice to sound just like the speaker’s voice. This means two people can carry on a conversation in their own native tongues. There’s no in-depth training period required for the AI voice clone, either. As you speak, the voice will adapt to your cadence and nuances. Again, all of this happens on device, too, so it’s fast. This works with English to and from Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Russian, and Indonesian.</p>

351. <p>A couple of smaller Gemini Live features are coming to Pixel phones on August 28th (along with other supported Android smartphones). The major new feature is Gemini’s ability to highlight things on your screen. It makes a little box around what it wants you to focus on, and dims the rest of the screen. Gemini Live will also be able to interact with more apps, including Messages, Phone, and Clock.</p>
352. <h2 id="the-ai-treatment-for-missed-calls">The AI Treatment for missed calls</h2>
353. <p>Google is adding AI features to your missed calls as well. The Take a Message feature will now provide real-time transcripts of incoming call, but it goes beyond that. You’ll get a summary, and actionable steps based on the voicemail.</p>

This August event is Google&#39;s opportunity to show off its latest hardware, including new smartphones, smartwatches, and maybe even earbuds. This year, that means the Pixel 10 line (Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel Pro Fold), Pixel Watch 4, and potentially Pixel Buds 2a. &lt;a href=&quot;https://lifehacker.com/tech/what-to-expect-from-made-by-google-2025&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;It should be a fun show&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
359. <p>Google has already teased all of the phones in the Pixel 10 line across videos on its YouTube channel, so we know they're coming for sure. But Google still has a chance to surprise us with these devices' hardware specs. While they haven't officially announced the next generation of Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds, rumors strongly suggest these devices are coming, too. It only makes sense: Google typically introduces a full line of products at Made by Google, and I imagine this year would be no different.</p>
360. <p>The show starts Aug. 20 at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET). Unlike many other tech companies, Google still holds live stage announcements, and this year, Made by Google is taking place in NYC. We'll be covering the event live as it happens, updating the live blog with each new announcement Google makes from the stage. Please continue to check in with this page to stay up to date with all of Google's planned announcements. You can also <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/how-to-watch-made-by-google-2025" target="_blank">watch the presentation live as it happens</a>.</p>

Unlike I/O, which is all about software, Made by Google is an event for showing off the latest Google hardware. And if the rumors are true, there&#39;s a lot for Google to announce at this year&#39;s Made by Google showcase.&lt;/p&gt;
366. <p>Unlike other companies, Google has no problem teasing its upcoming products. <a href="https://twitter.com/madebygoogle/status/1954573135920894354?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1954573135920894354%7Ctwgr%5E6a0d6135c4fcf0d7e415b28e16776be37b4e00a5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch.com%2F2025%2F08%2F18%2Fmade-by-google-2025-how-to-watch-google-debut-the-pixel-10-pixel-watch-4-and-more%2F" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">The company already soft launched the entire Pixel 10 line</a>, for example, so we know for sure it'll be a centerpiece of the Made by Google event. That includes Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Google also announced some big names as part of its presentation, including Jimmy Fallon, Steph Curry, and the Jonas Brothers. Whether these celebrities will appear in pre-recorded videos, or appear on stage live alongside Google executives and employees, remains to be seen.</p>
367. <p>But beyond Google's announcements, rumors strongly suggest we'll see the Pixel Watch 4 at Made by Google, and it's possible we'll also get a look at Pixel Buds 2a. If true, Google could refresh nearly its entire product lineup at the event.</p>

370. <p>You can tune in to the official Made by Google YouTube page, <a href="https://youtu.be/eQe9iIV7h84" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">specifically this video</a>, which will turn into a live stream when the event begins.

The latest string to the Proton bow is an AI chatbot called Lumo, and like everything else Proton makes, it&#39;s built with user privacy as a top priority.&lt;/p&gt;
379. <p>Lumo is available on <a href="https://lumo.proton.me/u/0/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">the web</a>, on <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.proton.android.lumo" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Android</a>, and on <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lumo-by-proton/id6746714949" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">iOS</a>, and you can get started for free—you don't even need a Proton account. As you might expect, there's a $12.99-per-month Pro tier available, which gets you features like a full chat history, more advanced AI models, and higher usage rates in terms of chats and file sizes. Unfortunately, the Pro tier is not included in Proton's other subscription packages—it's separate.</p>
380. <p>On the whole, Proton's previous apps and services have been impressive. So is Lumo worth a look to avoid the data collection policies of Google, OpenAI, and others? Or are you better off sticking with one of the bigger names in AI?</p>
381. <h2 id="how-lumo-is-different">How Lumo is different</h2>
382. <p>Read <a href="https://proton.me/blog/lumo-ai" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">the Lumo launch post</a> on Proton's blog and you'll see the company is working hard to try and make its AI assistant stand out in terms of how little data it keeps. Of course some data storage is necessary for the bot to actually work, and if you want, you can keep your chats around to refer back to.</p>
383. <p>First of all, your chats aren't used to train the AI models Lumo is built on. That's something you'll find as an option you can toggle in bots such as ChatGPT and Gemini, while it's also a selling point for Apple Intelligence. Other AIs are <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/x-new-ai-training-terms" target="_blank">less transparent</a> when it comes to this aspect, so it's good to see Proton mentioning it up front.</p>

385. <div class="flex justify-center"><img class="border border-gray-100" src="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K3131Q4TV2K1FJNGNCC3NKAA/images-1.fill.size_2000x1125.v1755604638.jpg" alt="ChatGPT settings" width="2000" height="1125" loading="lazy" srcset="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K3131Q4TV2K1FJNGNCC3NKAA/images-1.fill.size_800x450.v1755604638.jpg 800w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K3131Q4TV2K1FJNGNCC3NKAA/images-1.fill.size_1400x788.v1755604638.jpg 1400w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K3131Q4TV2K1FJNGNCC3NKAA/images-1.fill.size_2000x1125.v1755604638.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px" /></div>

387. </div>
388. <p>There's also zero-access encryption for your chats, which means no one can take a peek at what you're reading—not law enforcement, government agencies, or even Proton staff. That's a clear advantage over other AI platforms, though the likes of Google and OpenAI would argue there are strict legal procedures and strong regulations in place to keep your saved chats private. However, like other AIs using LLMs, Lumo can't offer full end-to-end encryption, <a href="https://proton.me/blog/lumo-security-model" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">as Proton explains here</a>.</p>
389. <p>It's hard to be definitive here in comparing Lumo to other services, because a lot depends on whether you're saving or erasing chats as you go. To complicate matters further, OpenAI is currently having to hang on to a good chunk of all user chats (even the deleted ones), as part of <a href="https://cdt.org/insights/in-chatgpt-case-order-to-retain-all-chats-threatens-user-privacy/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">its ongoing lawsuit</a> with the New York Times. What is clear is that Proton takes the issue more seriously than just about anyone else at the moment.</p>
390. <div class="eloquent-imagery-image">
391. <div class="flex justify-center"><img class="border border-gray-100" src="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K3131Q4TV2K1FJNGNCC3NKAA/images-2.fill.size_2000x1125.v1755604638.jpg" alt="Google Gemini history" width="2000" height="1125" loading="lazy" srcset="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K3131Q4TV2K1FJNGNCC3NKAA/images-2.fill.size_800x450.v1755604638.jpg 800w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K3131Q4TV2K1FJNGNCC3NKAA/images-2.fill.size_1400x788.v1755604638.jpg 1400w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K3131Q4TV2K1FJNGNCC3NKAA/images-2.fill.size_2000x1125.v1755604638.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px" /></div>
392. <div class="mt-2 font-akshar"><span class="image-caption block text-sm leading-4 tracking-wide text-[#1F2937]">It is possible to get Gemini to auto-delete your chats.</span> <span class="mt-1 block font-sans text-xs tracking-normal text-gray-600">Credit: Lifehacker</span></div>
393. </div>
394. <p>What's more, Lumo runs on open source AI models, which should mean more transparency. There's no partnership with any third party in terms of how the service is run, so you can be sure that the policies and protections Proton has implemented aren't going to be compromised through connections to other companies.</p>
395. <p>You can read <a href="https://proton.me/support/lumo-privacy" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">more on Lumo privacy</a> on the Proton website, including information on the large language models (LLMs) used by the chatbot. As ever with Proton, it's worth remembering that it operates out of Europe—meaning it's not subject to the same kind of data surveillance and retention policies as somewhere like the U.S.</p>
396. <h2 id="lumo-vs-chatgpt">Lumo vs. ChatGPT</h2>
397. <p>ChatGPT has been around for much longer than Lumo, and had many more billions of dollars invested into it. So clearly, ChatGPT is going to be better than Proton's new arrival. A more interesting question is whether Lumo gets close enough to ChatGPT to make it appealing, considering its privacy-first approach.</p>
398. <p>For quick and simple queries, Lumo works perfectly well: I tried sports scores, tech buying advice, document summarization, and movie recommendations, and the chatbot gave back useful and accurate answers most of the time. Its data is occasionally out of date, but that can be fixed by enabling the <strong>Web search</strong> feature.</p>

401. <div class="mt-2 font-akshar"><span class="image-caption block text-sm leading-4 tracking-wide text-[#1F2937]">Lumo can do a lot of the usual AI bot jobs, like recommendations.</span> <span class="mt-1 block font-sans text-xs tracking-normal text-gray-600">Credit: Lifehacker</span></div>
402. </div>
403. <p>Lumo can do coding and translation, though I didn't test these quite as extensively, being neither a linguist nor a coder. The AI is fast, with most prompts answered quickly, and it's all delivered in a polished, clean user interface. What's more, I managed to fire off quite a few queries and chats before hitting any kind of usage limits.</p>
404. <p>Comparing it directly to ChatGPT, it's not quite there: The Lumo responses are more generic and boilerplate, the structure of the responses aren't as well done, and you don't get quite the same nuance in feedback. You can tell it's built on older AI models, basically, and that matters more as you move to more advanced prompting. Lumo won't give you advanced features <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/chatgpt-finally-has-free-but-limited-deep-research-tool" target="_blank">like Deep Research</a> or image generation either.</p>

408. </div>
409. <p>I do like the look and feel of Lumo, and the Proton Drive integration is a nice touch—even if something like Gemini can plug into every Google app there is, that's not necessarily something you want to happen. There's always going to be a compromise between how much access you're willing to give an AI chatbot to your apps and files, and what you want to be able to do with it.</p>
410. <p>With AI now so prevalent, Proton clearly needs a chatbot on hand for user requests, and its particular focus on privacy and security is to be applauded. It's definitely an option to go to if you're an existing Proton user or if you care about data protections first and foremost. For the best AI models and most features, though, you're going to have to go elsewhere, and put up with a few trade-offs in terms of how your data might be used.</p>

417. <p>If you’re looking for a solid budget headset for Xbox, the <a href="https://zdcs.link/aAgJ8q?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Razer%20BlackShark%20V2%20X&short_url=aAgJ8q&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Razer BlackShark V2 X</a> deal might be worth your attention. Right now, Amazon has it for $49.99, and with the promo code RZR30, you also get $30 in Amazon Digital Credit added to your account. That effectively makes this headset a $20 pickup (if you were planning to buy digital games, movies, or other content from Amazon anyway).</p>

451. <p>Audio is always the biggest question mark with budget headsets, and the <a href="https://zdcs.link/aAgJ8q?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=BlackShark%20V2%20X&short_url=aAgJ8q&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">BlackShark V2 X</a> mostly delivers. Its sound leans toward bass-heavy, which means while explosions in shooters or action games feel punchy, you lose some clarity in higher frequencies. It’s not going to match premium <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-gaming-headphones" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">headsets</a> in precision, but for this price, the tradeoff makes sense if you’re more into action-heavy games than pinpoint competitive play.</p>

The boom mic of the <a href="https://zdcs.link/aAgJ8q?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=BlackShark%20V2%20X&short_url=aAgJ8q&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">BlackShark V2 X</a> is consistently praised for picking up voices clearly, even if you’ve got background noise in the room, which makes it reliable for team chat. Comfort also gets high marks—the oval ear cups and lightweight build let you wear it for long sessions without much fatigue.</p>
453. <p>Of course, there are compromises. The lack of companion software means you won’t be fine-tuning EQ or creating custom profiles, and controls on the headset itself are limited. Bass and treble response can reportedly be a little uneven depending on the game. But the essentials are here: a stable wired 3.5mm connection, <a href="https://lifehacker.com/entertainment/you-can-now-stream-your-own-xbox-games-to-your-pc" target="_blank">broad compatibility with Xbox Series</a> <a href="https://lifehacker.com/entertainment/xbox-series-x-vs-xbox-series-s" target="_blank">X|S</a>, and enough comfort to handle marathon gaming nights. If you’re fine without the bells and whistles of pricier models, this deal makes sense, especially with that $30 digital credit. For players looking for a dependable, no-frills headset under $50, this one gets the job done.</p>

Videos and posts claimed dozens of children had disappeared in the commonwealth over only a few days, and the posts and videos reporting it quickly racked up tens of millions of views on everything from Instagram to X to Threads. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
477. <p>On Aug. 12, TikToker <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tkay7411/video/7537485086439083295" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">@tkay7411 reported</a> that 50 children had gone missing in Virginia. By Aug. 13, the number had risen to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@arospeaks/video/7537849929406958862" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">80 children missing</a>.  The next day, the number spiked to over <a href="https://x.com/TaraBull808/status/1955947516773720494" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">100 children</a>. And a culprit began to emerge: “<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@wanzgwqad/video/7539503599680769310" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">late night ice cream trucks</a>.” </p>
478. <p>Many online amateur journalists pointed to the lack of media coverage and the fact that no Amber Alerts had been issued as evidence that the abductions had the tacit approval of authorities. And when <a href="https://vsp.virginia.gov/virginia-state-police-address-viral-social-media-videos-regarding-missing-children-in-the-commonwealth/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">those authorities</a> held a press conference to tamp down the rumors, the response online was generally "that's exactly what they <em>would</em> say if they were trying to cover something up."</p>
479. <p>Let’s dig into this mass hysteria in progress and separate the facts from the fiction.</p>
480. <h2 id="how-many-children-in-virginia-have-gone-missing-in-the-last-week">How many children in Virginia have gone missing in the last week?</h2>
481. <p>This is not one of those conspiracy theories that was invented whole cloth. According to the <a href="https://www.missingkids.org/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Center for Missing and Exploited Children</a>, 88 children really were reported missing in Virginia between Aug. 3 and Aug. 9. Virginia has the highest number of missing children listed on the CEMEC’s website. It’s also true that no Amber Alerts were issued in Virginia during that time and no major media reported on the missing kids either.</p>
482. <p>But, as usual, the truth is boring and offers no midnight ice cream trucks. Eighty-eight children going missing in a week is actually better than Virginia’s average of 98 missing children per week, but that number is still <em>extremely</em> misleading.  <a href="https://vsp.virginia.gov/virginia-state-police-address-viral-social-media-videos-regarding-missing-children-in-the-commonwealth/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">According to Virginia’s state police</a>, Virginia <em>reports</em> more children missing than other states. Virginia forwards every missing child case to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Kids (NCMEC) website within a couple hours of the reports being received.</p>
483. <p>There’s also the meaning of the word “missing.” When someone says "missing children," people tend to jump to “a child stolen by a stranger in a van,” but the 93% of missing children are teenagers who run away from home. And almost all of them return are found quickly. According to <a href="https://childfindofamerica.org/resources/facts-and-stats-missing-children/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Child Find America,</a> 99% of runaways return home. So when a teenager doesn't come home on Saturday night and a worried parent calls the cops, it's reported to the NCMEC before they have a chance to stumble in at 6am.</p>
484. <p>Of the 7% of missing children who are actually <em>abducted</em>, 78% are taken by non-custodial parents. Of the remaining, 21% are abducted by other relatives, and 27% by acquaintances. Overall, less than 1% of missing child cases are due to abductions by strangers. The total number of stranger abductions, according to the FBI, is about <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-wisconsin-missinggirl-data/kidnapped-children-make-headlines-but-abduction-is-rare-in-u-s-idUSKCN1P52BJ/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">350 children per year</a> for the whole nation of 340 million of so folks. It's not zero, but it's pretty close.</p>
485. <p>In Virginia, a state of 8.8 million people, 3,274 children have been reported missing since January 25. Of these, 141 (as of Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2025) are still missing, or approximately 4%. Again, everyone would like the number to be 0%, but in the real world, 4% is close.</p>
486. <p>Bottom line: Almost all of the 88 cases in Virginia were teenagers who were reported missing and then either came home or were found. There was no mass abduction of children in the state. No Amber Alerts were issued because none of the cases met the criteria for an Amber Alert. (That is, a child has been abducted, is in imminent danger, and there is enough descriptive information about the child, the abductor, or the vehicle to aid in the child's safe recovery.) And there were no reports in the media because there was literally nothing to report—it was a normal week in Virginia.</p>
487. <p>As for the ice cream trucks, your guess is as good as mine, but it does make for a scary story, and telling each other scary stories is the real point. The idea of losing a child is so scary, people have to invent fictional scenarios about government-approved trafficking rings to cope with it. Meanwhile, the runaways who actually go missing face more mundane dangers than whoever is supposed to be behind the midnight ice cream trucks. But they’re real dangers like homelessness, violence, and sexual exploitation.</p>
488. <h2 id="the-great-stranger-danger-panic-of-the-1980s">The great stranger danger panic of the 1980s</h2>
489. <p>The “88 missing children in Virginia” isn’t the first (nor the 50th) panic over missing children in the US. The biggest, most consequential missing-child hysteria in U.S. history was in the early 1980s. Kicked off by the 1979 abduction of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Etan_Patz#" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Etan Patz</a> and the 1981 murder of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Adam_Walsh" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Adam Walsh,</a> there were a few years where everyone was very aware of kids being snatched by violent psychos, whether it actually happened or not. The original “stranger danger” hysteria gave birth to such disparate cultural and political expressions as milk carton kids, the <em>Nightmare on Elm Street</em> movies, and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children itself—founded in 1984 by the The Missing Children's Assistance Act.</p>
490. <p>The statistic were roughly the same back in the 1980s—95% of missing children were runaways; almost all abductors were related to the abductees—and so was the misinformation. It was widely reported that 1.5 million children disappeared in the United States every year, when the actual number was closer to 300. </p>
491. <p>This modern child-abduction panic, though, is not being spread by the media. Back in the pre-Internet days, it was the actual news media spreading misinformation instead of random goofs on TikTok, and the media should have known better. TikTok goofs can be forgiven because anything is a conspiracy theory if you don’t understand how anything works.</p>
492. <h2 id="what-does-it-all-mean">What does it all mean?</h2>
493. <p>Missing-children panics are mirrors of the fears of our collective unconscious, not a reflection of anything happening in the real world. In the 1980s, it was anxieties over latchkey children, a crumbling sense of community, and good old-fashioned homophobia and racism (the "model" back then was a young white boy abducted by a sex-crazed molester). Today, it’s distrust of institutions and a social media ecosystem that rewards the most sensational version of any story. Instead of being lured by killer ice cream trucks, kids who run away for the same reasons they always have: Because their homes aren’t safe or their families are struggling to stay afloat. As always, the real danger and evil is so ordinary, it almost never goes viral. </p>

499. <p>You've probably heard of the upstart tech brand Nothing by now, but if you haven't, here's a quick TLDR: The UK-based tech startup aims to make products like <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/nothing-phone-3-and-headphone-1-double-down-on-unique-design" target="_blank">cellphones</a> and <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/nothing-phone-3-and-headphone-1-double-down-on-unique-design" target="_blank">headphones</a> that incorporate innovative features and designs that are an incredible value for the money. The company just released their new smartwatch this month, the <a href="https://zdcs.link/QGgeGq?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=CMF%20Watch%203%20Pro&short_url=QGgeGq&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">CMF Watch 3 Pro</a>, and it's already discounted by 20%. Originally $99, you can now grab one for $79, unsurprisingly the lowest price since the recent release.</p>

566. <p>The CMF Watch 3 Pro is designed for "everyday users and casual fitness explorers," and just given the price, its already a strong contender for <a href="https://mashable.com/article/cmf-watch-3-pro-for-runners?test_uuid=003aGE6xTMbhuvdzpnH5X4Q&test_variant=b" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">best budget smartwatch/fitness tracker of 2025</a>. The most impressive aspect of this watch is its direct ChatGPT integration: You can use voice prompts to ask the chatbot questions or set reminders, among other things. One neat feature is its ability to record voices and auto-transcribe conversations or notes (great for work meetings or class). How well it works, though, remains a bit of an open question, as it has yet to be widely reviewed.</p>
567. <p>If you've used the CMF Watch 2 Pro, you'll already be familiar with the design, which hasn't changed much. It's still got a round display with a rotating crown on the top right, though the display is a bit bigger—1.43 inches compared to the Watch 2 Pro's 1.32 inches. Nothing kept the auto brightness adjustment, which is determined by the built-in sensor and makes it very practical to walk outdoors from a dimmer indoor setting and vice versa. They also kept the dual-band GPS support with access to five satellite systems, providing greater accuracy when tracking your outdoor activities.</p>
568. <p>The real upgrades come mainly from the software. The Watch 3 Pro has over 130 sport modes, compared to 120 on the older model. The battery now lasts 13 days with a single charge, which is two days longer than before. It's certainly in the running for the best sub-$100 smartwatch you can buy right now.</p>

587. <p>A flagship <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/best-soundbars" target="_blank">soundbar</a> rarely comes cheap, but Woot is currently shaving a big chunk off Samsung’s newest model. The <a href="https://zdcs.link/aNJOKX?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Samsung%20HW-Q990F&short_url=aNJOKX&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Samsung HW-Q990F</a>, a premium 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar, is marked down to $968.05 in open box condition. That’s nearly half of Samsung's list price for <a href="https://zdcs.link/9Z1NmD?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=brand-new%20units&short_url=9Z1NmD&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">brand-new units</a>, and also the lowest price yet, according to <a href="https://lifehacker.com/best-price-tracking-tools" target="_blank">price-trackers</a>. This deal is live for the next four days (or until stock runs out). It’s also worth noting that “open box” here means the packaging was previously opened (maybe for display or testing), but the unit itself is new and covered by the company’s standard 12-month limited <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/support/legal/LGL10000312/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">warranty</a>. Shipping is free for <a href="https://zdcs.link/QmnKlv?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Prime%20members&short_url=QmnKlv&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Prime members</a> (otherwise it's $6 for shipping), though restricted to the lower 48 states.</p>
588. <p>The <a href="https://zdcs.link/aNJOKX?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=HW-Q990F&short_url=aNJOKX&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">HW-Q990F</a> is essentially an evolution of last year’s <a href="https://zdcs.link/aDgeJR?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=HW-Q990D&short_url=aDgeJR&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">HW-Q990D</a>, keeping the same overall footprint but adding some subtle design tweaks and a redesigned subwoofer. Samsung swapped the old grille-covered look for a dual-driver sub that leaves its eight-inch woofers visible, giving it a more modern aesthetic. Under the hood, you get support for just about every format—Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD, and even Samsung’s co-developed Eclipsa Audio, which hasn’t caught on widely yet but could down the line. In practice, that means movies sound cinematic, voices cut through clearly, and games get that extra kick from directional effects. With four up-firing drivers, the system also makes ceiling bounce tricks feel surprisingly convincing if your room is set up for it.</p>
589. <p>The 11.1.4 configuration of <a href="https://zdcs.link/aNJOKX?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=this%20soundbar&short_url=aNJOKX&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">this soundbar</a> gives you a soundstage that stretches wide and wraps around, with the rear speaker kit included in the box. And the audio is clear and punchy, with the option to fine-tune it with <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/eq-101-what-is-an-equalizer-and-how-can-it-improve-sound-quality" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">EQ</a>, voice level, and height channel adjustments to match your setup. That said, the subwoofer reportedly compresses a bit at max volume, so deep bass loses some rumble if you really crank it, but at normal levels, it should keep its clarity. You won’t be short on ways to hook this thing up, either. It handles everything from HDMI 2.1 passthrough and <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/hdmi-arc" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">eARC</a> to optical, wifi, and Bluetooth. If you’re in the Apple camp, AirPlay 2 is built in, and Samsung TV owners get the bonus of wireless Dolby Atmos without an HDMI cable, if you’ve got newer models.</p>
590. <p>At just under a thousand bucks, it’s not exactly budget gear, but compared to buying a traditional AV receiver and speaker package, this is far simpler to set up, and right now, far cheaper than usual.</p>

613. <p>That's because Grammarly is introducing an overhauled experience for both free and paid users today. The immediate change you'll notice is the new UI, "docs," Grammarly's new take on a word processor. (The company calls this an "AI writing surface.") Like before, you can use rich text (bolding, italics, and underlining), headers, and lists, but <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/18/grammarly-gets-a-design-overhaul-multiple-ai-features/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">as TechCrunch notes</a>, the new writing interface works using blocks. You can add new blocks to add rich text, but also blocks to add things like separators, columns, and tables. It sounds to me like if you've used WordPress, you'll be familiar with this setup.</p>
614. <p>You'll also notice AI Chat in docs' sidebar, which acts as a traditional AI chatbot. You can use it to ask for AI assistance, rather than leaving the app to do so. But beyond this, Grammarly is rolling out new AI features for its writing tool—namely, AI agents. AI Agents are designed to automate tasks for you, and in this case, Grammarly wants its agents to help writers—especially students and teachers—across a spectrum of issues. There are eight agents in total rolling out with this update, responsible for the following:</p>
615. <ul>
616. <li>
617. <p><strong>Reader Reactions</strong>: Identifies the target reader of your work, and anticipates questions or concerns they might want from your current draft.</p>
618. </li>
619. <li>
620. <p><strong>AI Grader</strong>: This agent lets you add information about your schoolwork, so it can offer advice and grade estimations before you submit an assignment.</p>
621. </li>
622. <li>
623. <p><strong>Citation Finder</strong>: Not only is this agent supposed to generate your citations for you, Grammarly says it can find evidence to support or dispute claims in your writing.</p>
624. </li>
625. <li>
626. <p><strong>Expert Review</strong>: This agent folds in "subject-matter expertise" to punch up your piece to meet certain academic standards.</p>
627. </li>
628. <li>
629. <p><strong>Proofreader</strong>: This sounds like more of the traditional Grammarly experience, offering line-by-line advice for improving your writing,</p>
630. </li>
631. <li>
632. <p><strong>AI Detector</strong>: This agent gives an estimation of whether any given text appears to be human or AI-generated.</p>
633. </li>
634. <li>
635. <p><strong>Plagiarism Checker</strong>: Compares your writing against "vast databases" of text to see if you're infringing on any existing work.</p>
636. </li>
637. <li>
638. <p><strong>Paraphraser</strong>: This agent can rework your writing to fit a certain tone.</p>
639. </li>
640. </ul>
641. <p>While all writers can use these tools, Grammarly seems keen to target education with these updates. In the company's view, students can use the AI tools to improve their writing, especially in relation to the target audience—say a teacher or instructor's expectations. The company wants teachers, on the other hand, to use tools like AI Detector to weed out any students that might be relying a bit too much on AI tools. In Grammarly's world, students and teachers can use AI for good, not cheating.</p>
642. <p>Like many AI tools, the advertised experience sounds great: Grammarly's new AI experience sounds like working with eight experts at once on any given writing task. However, in practice, things might turn out differently. AI plagiarism detectors, for example, <a href="https://lifehacker.com/why-you-shouldnt-trust-ai-detectors-1850369642" target="_blank">are less reliable than many believe</a>. (These tools have told me that the U.S. Constitution was written almost entirely by AI.) Grammarly's VP of enterprise product told TechCrunch as much regarding their AI Detector agent, though he says its agent is more accurate than any other product you can find, and <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-found-5-ai-content-detectors-that-can-correctly-identify-ai-text-100-of-the-time/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">there is evidence to suggest the tools are improving overall</a>.</p>
643. <p>I also worry about the quality and accuracy of other tools. "Reader Reactions" relies on "publicly available" information about a given instructor. If a classroom of students follows AI advice generated from the same pool of data about this instructor, will the end results all sound exactly the same? <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/ai-models-hallucinating-more" target="_blank">AI also hallucinates</a>, occasionally making up information entirely—will students take the time to review "Citation Finder's" generations, to ensure that some of the sources aren't bogus?</p>
644. <p>I get Grammarly's mission here: AI isn't going away, and students are increasingly using it in ways that might not necessarily help them <em>learn</em>. Rather than attempt to ban AI, why not embrace the technology, in a way that is beneficial to everyone involved? I do appreciate Grammarly isn't offering students a way to generate whole paragraphs (or essays), but rather use the AI to engage with their existing work. But we also need to be wary of these tools limitations, something that often goes overlooked in all the AI hype and excitement.</p>

650. <p>This refurbished 2024 Lenovo IdeaCentre All-in-One comes well-equipped and is <a href="https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/lenovo-ideacentre-27-aio-2024-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-touchscreen-desktop-refurbished?utm_content=PS-5770&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=lenovo-ideacentre-27-aio-2024-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-touchscreen-desktop-refurbished-2025-08-11&utm_source=stacksocial.com&utm_term=SALE-328450" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="sponsored">on sale for $589.99 on StackSocial right now</a>. It has a roomy 27-inch full HD touchscreen with thin bezels, solid color and brightness, and a tilt-adjustable stand that helps with posture during long hours. It’s got a built-in 5MP webcam and dual Harman speakers, and there's even AI-based noise cancellation to block out background chatter when you're unmuted in meetings.</p>
651. <p>Performance-wise, this machine holds its own. It runs on a 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor with integrated Radeon 660M graphics—not meant for hardcore gaming, but more than enough for everyday tasks, media, and light creative work. With 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a fast 1TB SSD, you can expect quick boots, smooth multitasking, and room to store all your files without thinking twice. And because it’s all built into one unit, you’re not sacrificing desk space or aesthetics for power.</p>
652. <p>You also won’t be left scrambling for ports. There’s USB-C, USB-A (both 2.0 and 3.2), HDMI in and out, Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. It comes bundled with a wireless keyboard and mouse, so setup is as simple as plugging it in and connecting to Wi-Fi. Just remember: this is a refurbished model in “Grade A” condition, which means you might see some light wear, but it’s been tested to function like new and comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty. If you’re looking for a do-it-all desktop with a big screen and clean setup, whether for home, school, or a shared workspace, this All-in-One is <a href="https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/lenovo-ideacentre-27-aio-2024-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-touchscreen-desktop-refurbished?utm_content=PS-5770&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=lenovo-ideacentre-27-aio-2024-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd-touchscreen-desktop-refurbished-2025-08-11&utm_source=stacksocial.com&utm_term=SALE-328450" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="sponsored">a solid pick at $589.99</a>.</p>

658. <p>The 44mm Apple Watch Series 6 (2020) with GPS and cellular is now available refurbished for a <a href="https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/apple-watch-series-6-2020-32gb-gps-cellular-44mm-space-gray-refurbished?utm_content=PS-5769&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=apple-watch-series-6-2020-32gb-gps-cellular-44mm-space-gray-refurbished-2025-08-11&utm_source=stacksocial.com&utm_term=SALE-328362" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="sponsored">sale price of $123.99 on StackSocial</a>. It comes with cellular, so you can take calls, reply to messages, and stream music or podcasts right from your watch, even if you leave your phone at home. For runners, cyclists, or anyone trying to disconnect more often, that added independence is something wifi-only models just can’t match.</p>
659. <p>This is a refurbished model with a Grade B rating, so expect a few signs of handling like minor scuffs, but functionally, it should feel nearly new. It runs the current version of watchOS 11 and is expected to support the next major update as well, given you have a compatible device, which is good news for long-term use. And as for storage, at 32GB, there’s enough for a good chunk of apps, music, and podcasts. You’re also getting a bright, always-on Retina display, meaning you don’t have to flick your wrist to check the time or glance at your workout progress.</p>
660. <p>It’s loaded with health features too: ECG readings, blood oxygen monitoring, fall detection, and alerts for unusual heart rates. It obviously doesn't replace a doctor, but it does a good job of flagging concerns you might want to pay attention to. There’s even an always-on altimeter if you’re curious how many floors you’ve climbed or how steep that weekend hike really was.</p>
661. <p>Its battery life is around 18 hours, which won’t get you through a weekend trip, but is totally fine for a full day’s use with room to spare. Overall, if you’re looking for a well-rounded smartwatch with both fitness tracking and on-the-go connectivity, and don’t mind a slightly older model, the Apple Watch Series 6 <a href="https://www.stacksocial.com/sales/apple-watch-series-6-2020-32gb-gps-cellular-44mm-space-gray-refurbished?utm_content=PS-5769&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=apple-watch-series-6-2020-32gb-gps-cellular-44mm-space-gray-refurbished-2025-08-11&utm_source=stacksocial.com&utm_term=SALE-328362" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="sponsored">still holds up and is listed at a great price</a>.</p>

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, after all. The latest such example is a new feature hitting Google&#39;s Contacts app: a full-screen&amp;nbsp;&quot;calling card,&quot; reminiscent of Apple&#39;s &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://lifehacker.com/you-can-make-custom-iphone-contact-posters-in-ios-17-1850639809&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Contact Posters&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
667. <p>The idea of both features is simple: Rather than see the traditional image you might set for a particular contact when they call you, calling card (and Contact Poster, for that matter) is a dynamic, full-screen graphic for each caller. It takes advantage of the large edge-to-edge displays that have become standard over the years, displaying a large image with bold, engaging text.</p>
668. <p>Visually, these calling cards and Contact Posters are quite similar to one another, perhaps with some Apple or Google-specific flair. However, there's really only one key difference between each feature: With Apple's Contact Poster, you make your own contact image, while for calling cards, you make everyone <em>else's</em> images. Essentially, Apple and Google have polar opposite philosophies for the feature: Apple believes each user should control how their Contact Poster should appear on everyone else's iPhone, while Google believes users should decide how their friends and family's calling cards should appear on their own phone.</p>
669. <p>That creates an interesting divide: Apple won't let you make a Contact Poster for other users, while Google won't let you create your <em>own</em> calling card. I suppose Google's is more in line with how we've traditionally handled contact photos, with each user setting the images they'd like the see for each of their contacts.</p>
670. <h2 id="how-to-set-a-calling-card-on-android">How to set a calling card on Android</h2>
671. <p><a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/google-calling-cards-out-now-first-look-3587777/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Android Authority was the first to spot the feature</a> in the latest version (4.61.28.792249534) of the Google Contacts app, as well as the latest beta version (188.0.793710089-publicbeta-pixel2024) of the Google Phone app. While Google appears to be rolling this out slowly, it's possible the feature might be live on your end. If you want to give it a shot, make sure to update the Google Contacts app to the latest version on your Android device.</p>
672. <p>Now, go to a specific contact. If you have the feature, you should now have a "Try adding a calling card" pop-up on this screen. Tap it, and you'll see a blank slate, inviting you to add a new image via your camera, image gallery, or Google Photos. Choose a photo from whichever source you like. Once the photo is in the calling card, you can customize the color and font for the contact's name to appear in. You'll also be able to choose a zoom level for the image you selected by pinching and pulling on the picture.</p>
673. <p>The traditional contact photo isn't going away, either. You can choose whether to crop your calling card to put the standard contact image, or choose another photo altogether.</p>

675. <div id="video-container-01K2QF6V2M4JBG1W5A0TPX8JVW"></div>
676. </div>
677. <p>I always welcome companies like Google to make features like this, because they're just fun. This isn't going to make it easier to call people, and there's nothing wrong with the existing contact photos setup. But as long as these phones have large, impressive displays, we might as well take advantage of them.</p>

683. <p>Prime Video has managed to assemble a fairly impressive run of films that have broken through not merely in terms of viewership, but in the broader world of awards—including a handful of Best Picture Oscar nominees.</p>
684. <p>You're probably already paying for an Amazon Prime subscription, so you might as well take advantage of Prime Video's library of exclusive offerings. Here are some of the best of the bunch.</p>

689. <p>John Cena might feel like an unlikely choice to play the President of the United States but, given the year we're having, it's probably the most plausible thing in this rather fun action comedy. Cena plays Will Derringer, a movie star who won election almost entirely on the success of his <em>Water Cobra</em> franchise; when he goes to meet with more experienced UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), himself a British Army veteran, the two have a very public falling out—so public that the two are strongly encouraged to travel together to a NATO summit to make nice. (This is nearly the same premise as Prime's <em>Red, White, and Royal Blue</em>, but disappointingly, these two never kiss.) On the way to the summit, Air Force One is shot down over Belarus by terrorists linked to a Russian arms dealer, and the two have to high-tail it through Easter Europe, fighting trained killers and uncovering the identity of the traitor who put all of this in motion. It's the kind of big-star buddy action comedy that streamers seem pretty good at, and one of the better ones, at that—even if it needed more kissing. <a href="https://zdcs.link/Qqwrdw?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Stream%20Heads%20of%20State&short_url=Qqwrdw&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><strong>Stream <em>Heads of State</em></strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

726. <p>What do you do when you're an EGOT laureate whose awards shelves are overflowing? Anything you want, apparently—as Viola Davis' recent turn to action roles in the last couple of years bears out. Here she plays U.S. President Danielle Sutton, with a rebellious daughter and a plan to boost the fortunes of sub-Saharan African farmers. She's also an Army veteran, which isn't just a resume detail—those skills come in handy when an Australian mercenary and company ambush the G20 summit with an eye toward making a fortune in crypto. Big mistake! Viola Davis: Action President goes all <em>Die Hard</em> on the mercenaries, and, yes, it's as silly as it sounds, but still a lot of fun. <a href="https://zdcs.link/z3Gx5R?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Stream%20G20&short_url=z3Gx5R&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><strong>Stream <em>G20</em></strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

732. <p>This Hindi-language thriller earned rave reviews when it did the festival circuit, getting picked up by Prime Video just this summer. At a remote railway station, two brothers, Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee) and Raman (Shubham Vardhan) witness the kidnapping of a baby from an indigenous woman. Though just traveling through on the way to a wedding, the two decide to see what they can do to help—a decision that puts them on a harrowing path as they run afoul of police and even the locals who come to believe that the two are actually responsible. It's a brisk 90-minute descent into horror for the two brothers, but the movie has more on its mind, with themes of class, mob violence, and police corruption as the two outsiders pay a price for getting involved. Banerjee, best known for comedic roles, gives a career-best performance here. <a href="https://zdcs.link/92xqJD?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Stream%20Stolen&short_url=92xqJD&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><strong>Stream <em>Stolen</em></strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

769. <p>Pretty much the whole gang's back from the 2018 comedy/mystery, including director Paul Feig and writer Jessica Sharzer as well as our leads Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Blake Lively). Emily, last seen in prison for a double murder, is out of prison on appeal while Stephanie needs a boost in her book sales. She's wrangled into becoming Emily's maid of honor and the two are off to a destination wedding in Capri—even if Stephanie's still a little worried that her "friend" is going to try to murder her again. This one's got a bigger body count than the original, paying homage to bloody gialli filmmaking while the plot turns on Emily's marrying into the mob, but the real pleasure here remain the sexy, funny, surreal chemistry between Kendrick and Lively. <a href="https://zdcs.link/z62wAq?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Stream%20Another%20Simple%20Favor&short_url=z62wAq&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><strong>Stream <em>Another Simple Favor</em></strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

775. <p>OK, so, the reception for this latest take on the 1898 H.G. Wells novel has been—chilly, to say the least (as in: 3% on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/war_of_the_worlds_2025" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Rotten Tomatoes</a>). So it's definitely kinda bullshit to put this on a list of best movies. HOWEVER. It is rather wonderfully ridiculous, if that's the mood you're in, and somehow manages to outdo even <em>Madame Web</em> in terms of wildly inappropriate product placement. The hook here is, actually, not bad: Ice Cube plays Homeland Security officer Will Radford, whose job is, apparently, monitoring everything and everyone on the planet all the time. When the aliens start landing on Earth, Radford finds himself on the front lines of Earth's defense (meaning, behind his computer screen); he soon notices that the aliens are heading for data centers, slurping up data as part of their plan of conquest. Given the number of disasters we've all been witness to through only our screens, it's a fairly clever (not to mention budget-conscious) way to envision the apocalypse. Highlights include a heroic self-driving Tesla that neither crashes nor bursts into flames, Amazon drones deployed to deliver world-saving code, and Amazon gift cards freely distributed as payment for services rendered (hooray?). Ice Cube's yelling "Move, bitch, get out the way!" at an alien tendril thing has already become iconic, and no dumber than literally anything else going on in 2025. <a href="https://zdcs.link/9yDM7e?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Stream%20War%20of%20the%20Worlds&short_url=9yDM7e&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><strong>Stream <em>War of the Worlds</em></strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

812. <p>Writer/director Emerald Fennell followed up her buzzy Oscar-winner <em>Promising Young Woman</em> with the thoroughly scandalous <em>Saltburn</em>, a somehow even darker spin on <em>The Talented Mr. Ripley</em> that sees Barry Keoghan's Oliver Quick doing whatever it takes to ingratiate himself into the endlessly posh world of his Oxford classmate Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi). Making the most of all his skills in manipulation and bathtub cleaning, the scholarship student weasels his way onto the titular estate, and finds that the family is desperately gullible, but rich enough that they still hold all the cards. No matter: Oliver has a plan. Opinions are mixed on whether this is all smart satire or lurid trash, but it's pretty entertaining either way. <a href="https://zdcs.link/QbbZMw?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Stream%20Saltburn&short_url=QbbZMw&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><strong>Stream <em>Saltburn</em></strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>

Called &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/travel/flights/deals&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;open in a new window&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Flight Deals&lt;/a&gt;, you use it just like you&#39;d use a Google search box. Just describe when, where, and how you want to travel, and it&#39;s supposed to handle the rest.&lt;/p&gt;
824. <p>The new AI tool is for those who don't like fiddling with the many different search tools on Google Flights, which currently require you to select specific airports or dates, even if you just want to browse. I've used Google Flights to find many great flight deals over the years, but I have to admit that it's not for everyone. Currently, Google Flights searches are like using a stick shift car when automatics are easily available. Sure, <a href="https://lifehacker.com/use-this-extension-to-search-google-flights-for-the-one-1849711306" target="_blank">Google Flights gives you much more control</a>, but Google's designed Flight Deals to be accessible to everyone. Once it's widely available, it could be an easier way to find a cheap flight you'd otherwise miss, or even ideate on trip ideas in general.</p>
825. <p>Flight Deals will also show trip suggestions below the search box, based on your location, even if you haven't searched for anything yet. As for your own searches, Google says you're free to get creative. You could say "cheap economy class flight from New York to LA in one month," but you could also try search terms like “week-long trip this winter to a city with great food, nonstop only” or “10 day ski trip to a world-class resort with fresh powder.”</p>
826. <p>At the moment, Flight Deals is rolling out in beta in the U.S., Canada, and India. Neither I or my editor currently have access to it, but Google says the rollout should be finished in about a week. In the U.S. and Canada, Google says it's also added an option to exclude basic economy fares, which can be quite helpful for those with a lot of luggage, as those fares sometimes don't even include a carry-on bag anymore.</p>

Once installed on your device, it can do everything from record your screen to steal your passwords.

833. <p>According to Kaspersky, LunaSpy imitates real antivirus software, scanning your device and alerting you to (fake) "threats found," after which it requests extensive permissions so it can spy on your device unsuspected. The malware can execute a range of functions:</p>

835. <li>
836. <p>Recording audio and video using your device's microphone and camera</p>

855. <h2 id="how-lunaspy-spreads-on-android-and-how-to-protect-your-device">How LunaSpy spreads on Android—and how to protect your device</h2>
856. <p>The LunaSpy campaign proliferates through messenger apps like Telegram. Targets may receive a message from a stranger—or the hijacked account of someone they know—suggesting they install the "antivirus." Victims may also be directed to download the app in a new channel.</p>
857. <p>In general, you should download apps only from official sources like the Google Play Store (though malware can sometimes slip through the cracks, as with the fake crypto extensions <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/malicious-firefox-extensions-are-draining-crypto-wallets" target="_blank">recently found among Mozilla's add-ons</a>). Avoid third-party sources, and don't download APK files from messengers even if you know the sender.</p>
858. <p>You can also block unknown app installs for sources outside the Google Play Store entirely, so your device will have an extra layer of protection if you do attempt to download a malicious program. While the specifics vary depending on your device, this option can generally be found under <strong>Settings > Security</strong>.</p>
859. <p>You should be wary of apps—including antivirus—that request broad permissions without a clear purpose unless you have verified that the software is legitimate and trustworthy. You can confirm which permissions an app has under <strong>Settings > Apps > Permissions</strong>.</p>
860. <p>If you suspect that you've installed spyware on your Android, you should immediately uninstall any suspicious apps. A factory reset is a more extreme step, but it should wipe malware completely—just be sure you back everything up first.</p>

900. <p>At 5.8 mm thick and 5.7 ounces, this lightweight and ultra-thin phone is great for those who want a thinner silhouette but don’t want to sacrifice durability, which is enhanced with a titanium build and a Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 face. The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display earns praise from reviewers for its high-quality visuals on the ProScaler display. The S25 Edge is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip and has 12GB RAM and 512GB of storage. The 256GB storage model is also on sale and about $100 cheaper, but the sotrage upgrade offers better bang for your buck. With a 120Hz refresh rate, users also comment that apps load better on this model and that connection speeds outpace the S25’s predecessors.</p>
901. <p>The 200 MP wide camera features 2× optical-quality zoom with improved night video but doesn’t offer optical zoom beyond 2x. Additionally, the battery life performs slightly less well than the regular Galaxy S25 (3,900mAh compared to 4000mAh). Beyond the built-in virtual assistant, the phone is packed with advanced AI features, including call translation, writing assist, image editing, and productivity tools powered by AI.</p>
902. <p>If you’re a fan of the S Series and are looking for a slim silhouette, this phone is a great choice with impressive functionality. However, despite its thinness, some people do feel that the model is a bit large and heavy, especially for people with mobility issues in their hands. Overall, if you’re looking for a durable, design-forward phone that performs well, has AI-rich software, and features Samsung Galaxy’s signature processing power, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYVMVZSY?ref=t_ac_view_request_product_image&campaignId=amzn1.campaign.1ZTS53JLD0ICW&linkCode=tr1&tag=lifehacke00b9-20&linkId=amzn1.campaign.1ZTS53JLD0ICW_1755008810674" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Phone</a> is a smart choice at the current discount. </p>

926. <p>It's not often I find sales on the Kindle Paperwhite, especially the latest version—but right now, the 12th Gen, 2024 "like-New" <a href="https://zdcs.link/a038pN?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=16GB%20Kindle%20Paperwhite&short_url=a038pN&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window"><u>16GB Kindle Paperwhite</u></a> is <strong>$106.99</strong> (originally $143.99). The <a href="https://zdcs.link/QOb78D?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Signature%20Edition&short_url=QOb78D&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Signature Edition</a>, with an automatically adjusting front light, double the storage, and wireless charging, is also available for <strong>$126.99</strong> (originally $179.99). That's the lowest price both of these devices have been, according to <a href="https://lifehacker.com/best-price-tracking-tools-1692745053" target="_blank">price-tracking tools</a>. These deals on used Kindles usually sell out fast, so get one sooner rather than later if you're interested.</p>

970. <p>The Kindle Paperwhite is the most popular <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/how-does-kindle-work" target="_blank">reading tablet from Amazon</a>, and it's the best for most people, according to PCMag's <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/amazon-kindle-paperwhite-2024" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">"outstanding" review</a>. It offers many improvements over the 11th-generation version from 2021—mainly a larger seven-inch display and a much faster boost in performance. It still retains all of the great attributes that made the previous version great, like a fully waterproof design with an IPX8 rating, enough storage to hold more than 10,000 books, and unlimited cloud storage. If you want an ad-free experience with some better features, get the <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/amazon-kindle-paperwhite-signature-edition-2024" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Signature Edition</a>.</p>
971. <p>If you're not sure if this is the right Kindle for you, you can <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/which-is-better-kindle-colorsoft-2024-vs-kindle-paperwhite-2024" target="_blank">see if the Colorsoft version is a better fit</a> for you. It offers color, so it can make reading manga or comics more lively. We also have a <a href="https://lifehacker.com/tech/the-best-kindles-of-2024" target="_blank">breakdown of every kind of Kindle</a> to help you decide. If you already own the 11th generation, there might not be enough here to warrant an upgrade, unless you just want the latest Amazon has to offer. However, any devices older than that may be worth an upgrade for features like Bluetooth compatibility, which is great for audiobooks.</p>
972. <p>The screen features a 300 ppi (pixels per inch) display with 16 levels of background lighting, and optional warm lighting as well. I use this feature to read before bed and not strain my (or my partner's) eyes. I also love the absurdly long battery life. This one is estimated at up to 12 weeks on a single charge, depending on your use and brightness settings.</p>

990. <p>If I've learned one thing from reviewing <a href="https://lifehacker.com/health/best-home-gym-equipment" target="_blank">trendy home gym equipment</a>, it's that living in a small apartment doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your fitness goals. The <a href="https://zdcs.link/9wROE6?pageview_type=RSS&template=content&module=content_body&element=offer&item=text-link&element_label=Merach%20stair%20stepper&short_url=9wROE6&u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ffeed%2Frss" rel="sponsored" target="_blank" title="open in a new window">Merach stair stepper</a> offers a light cardio workout in a compact package, but even the most space-efficient exercise equipment can pose storage challenges in tight quarters. And if you dissemble your machine and store it out of sight after each workout, it's going to be that much tougher to <a href="https://lifehacker.com/health/how-to-use-merach-stair-stepper-consistently" target="_blank">actually stick to your new habit</a>. The time and effort required to reassemble the equipment can quickly turn into an excuse to skip workouts altogether.</p>
991. <p>The Merach stair stepper measures 33.9 inches long by 22.1 inches wide by 52.4 inches high when fully assembled—roughly the footprint of a small dining chair, but considerably taller. What matters is that it folds vertically, making it way more manageable. To minimize assembly in between workouts, simply unscrew the two top screws and fold the stepper vertically. You'll be able to transition from storage to workout mode in under a minute, making it much easier to stick to your workout routine.</p>
992. <p>I'll also note that at 26.5 pounds, it's certainly portable, though not exactly <em>effortless</em> to carry around your apartment. Wherever you choose to store your stepper, I'd aim for as close to your workout area as possible.</p>

1026. <h2 id="the-bedroom-closet">The bedroom closet</h2>
1027. <p>Since this is going to be most people's go-to idea, I am pleased to report that the Merach stair stepper should be able to slide into most apartment closets. My closet is as small as it gets, and here's how my stair stepper stacks up.</p>
1028. <div class="eloquent-imagery-image">
1029. <div class="flex justify-center"><img class="border border-gray-100" src="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K2G1XN89X1WKJQAEWZVMSTEP/images-1.fill.size_2000x1125.v1755033031.jpg" alt="Merach stair stepper in closet" width="2000" height="1125" loading="lazy" srcset="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K2G1XN89X1WKJQAEWZVMSTEP/images-1.fill.size_800x450.v1755033031.jpg 800w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K2G1XN89X1WKJQAEWZVMSTEP/images-1.fill.size_1400x788.v1755033031.jpg 1400w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K2G1XN89X1WKJQAEWZVMSTEP/images-1.fill.size_2000x1125.v1755033031.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px" /></div>
1030. <div class="mt-2 font-akshar"><span class="image-caption block text-sm leading-4 tracking-wide text-[#1F2937]">The closet is a no-brainer for storage.</span> <span class="mt-1 block font-sans text-xs tracking-normal text-gray-600">Credit: Meredith Dietz</span></div>
1031. </div>
1032. <p>When folded, the narrow profile makes it easy to slide behind hanging clothes or tuck into a corner, hopefully without disrupting your whole wardrobe system.</p>
1033. <h2 id="under-the-bed">Under the bed</h2>
1034. <p>Because my bed lifts up for storage, this solution isn't ideal for me. However, if you're able to slide your stair stepper in and out from under your bed, this is a solid option. Depending on the size of your bed, you may have to remove the handle bars to make enough room. Here's my stair stepper lying alongside my queen bed for reference.</p>
1035. <div class="eloquent-imagery-image">
1036. <div class="flex justify-center"><img class="border border-gray-100" src="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K2G1XN89X1WKJQAEWZVMSTEP/images-2.fill.size_2000x1125.v1755033031.jpg" alt="Merach stair stepper by bed" width="2000" height="1125" loading="lazy" srcset="https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K2G1XN89X1WKJQAEWZVMSTEP/images-2.fill.size_800x450.v1755033031.jpg 800w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K2G1XN89X1WKJQAEWZVMSTEP/images-2.fill.size_1400x788.v1755033031.jpg 1400w, https://lifehacker.com/imagery/articles/01K2G1XN89X1WKJQAEWZVMSTEP/images-2.fill.size_2000x1125.v1755033031.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px" /></div>

1038. </div>
1039. <p>The major perk of this location is your machine will be completely out of sight while remaining easily accessible. Measure your under-bed clearance first to ensure a proper fit, and consider using furniture sliders to make retrieval easier.</p>
1040. <h2 id="a-kitchen-nook">A kitchen nook</h2>
1041. <p>Your stair stepper might be able to fit in one of those pesky gaps between appliances and walls in your apartment. For me, this is great for 1) using up a space where few other things fit, and 2) keeping my stair stepper readily available for quick workout sessions.</p>

1045. </div>
1046. <p>Aside from sticking my broom in there, this is the first time I've managed to store something in this crevice.</p>
1047. <h2 id="that-awkward-corner">That awkward corner</h2>
1048. <p>Every apartment has awkward corners that tend to collect miscellaneous items. Rather than letting these spaces become cluttered catch-alls, designate one as your fitness storage area. A folded stepper can blend seamlessly with other stored items while remaining organized and accessible.</p>

1057. <h2 id="the-bottom-line">The bottom line</h2>
1058. <p>To make the most of your storage strategy, establish a consistent routine around setup and breakdown. Consider timing your fold-down process with other daily activities, like tidying up after dinner or preparing for the next day.</p>
1059. <p>Another thing to consider is the traffic flow in your apartment when choosing storage locations. High-traffic areas might not be ideal for frequent equipment movement, while secluded spots might make you forget about your workout routine altogether. Try to strike a balance.

Fortunately, the years since Wordle&#39;s appearance have blessed us with dozens of other guessing games that borrowed one or more of Wordle’s features—five-letter solutions, or yellow and green squares, or sometimes just the concept of guessing and getting hints to narrow down the possibilities. Here are 16 of the best.&lt;/p&gt;

1070. <p>Let’s start out the list with a cute and friendly game. <a href="https://wafflegame.net/daily" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Waffle</a> puts six different five-letter words in a grid, and you <a href="https://lifehacker.com/waffle-is-the-new-wordle-1848793653" target="_blank">solve it</a> simply by moving the squares around. It’s tricky to get the job done in the given number of swaps, but you’re never going to be too perplexed—all the letters you need are right in front of you.</p>

1076. <p>I was torn on whether to award the geographical spot on the list to <a href="https://flagle.net/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Flagle</a>, which uses country flags, or <a href="https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Worldle</a>, which <a href="https://lifehacker.com/why-you-should-try-worldle-the-new-geography-version-o-1848539965" target="_blank">gives you the outline of the country</a>. When I was first compiling this list, I went with Flagle because there <a href="https://lifehacker.com//now-there-s-a-wordle-for-flags-with-two-ways-to-win-1849734199" target="_blank">used to be two ways to win</a>: In addition to narrowing down the location of the country, you can also reveal tiles of the country’s flag. Unfortunately, Flagle has removed the feature that tells you how far away you guessed in terms of distance, so it's now just a flag-based game. They're still both great.</p>

1081. </div>
1082. <p>This is probably the last friendly, straightforward game you’ll see on this list, so enjoy it while it lasts. <a href="https://www.arkadium.com/games/hurdle/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Hurdle</a> gives you five Wordle-style puzzles each day. You have to <a href="https://lifehacker.com/hurdle-is-like-five-wordles-in-one-1848823944" target="_blank">solve each to get the next</a>, and then the fifth puzzle gets pre-filled with the four previous solutions as guesses, leaving you just two chances to win the final round.</p>

1088. <p><a href="https://qntm.org/files/absurdle/absurdle.html" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Absurdle</a> gets its name because its premise is entirely absurd—and <a href="https://lifehacker.com/try-this-game-if-youre-already-too-good-at-wordle-1848356298" target="_blank">man, does it follow through</a>. The secret word you’re guessing <em>changes to evade your guesses</em>. Its one nod to sportsmanship is that it will abide by its previous hints—so if it tells you that the word contains an R as the first letter, the solution <em>will</em> have an R, but everything else is subject to change. Succeeding at this game means backing the algorithm into a corner until it only has one option left; only then will it admit you won.</p>

1094. <p><a href="https://heardlewordle.io/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Heardle</a> is the modern version of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_That_Tune" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener"><em>Name That Tune!</em></a>, a game show where participants had to identify a song based on just the first few notes. The songs in Heardle are taken from popular playlists, so it’s also a good litmus test for your own pop culture relevance.</p>

1100. <p>In <a href="https://squabble.me/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Squabble</a>, we have our first competitive Wordle. (We’ll meet another in a minute.) If you think you’re good at guessing words, you now get the chance to <a href="https://lifehacker.com/squabble-lets-you-beat-other-people-at-wordle-in-real-t-1848849342" target="_blank">prove it against friends or strangers in real time</a>. Guessing wrong subtracts health from your little meter; guessing correctly refills it. The game continues, going to multiple words if needed, until all but one player has been eliminated. This game isn't as popular as it once was, so you may wait a while to find enough players for a game with online strangers, but you can still create a game and share the lobby code with your friends for instant fun.</p>

1112. <p>When Dordle (the double Wordle) first came on the scene, it seemed nightmarish; you’re supposed to solve <em>two</em> Wordles with the same guesses?! But with practice, it’s not hard at all. And so it escalated from there. <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Quordle</a> is the sweet spot, in <a href="https://lifehacker.com/you-should-try-quordle-if-youre-too-good-at-wordle-1848540319" target="_blank">my opinion</a>; four is the perfect number of puzzles to solve at once. But <a href="https://www.britannica.com/games/octordle/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Octordle</a> is also fun, and so are <a href="https://www.sedecordle.com/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Sedecordle</a> and <a href="https://duotrigordle.com/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Duotrigordle</a>.

The rules are the same as the rules for regular Wordle played on hard mode (where you’re required to reuse correct letter guesses).

1124. <p>Word games are, for the most part, games for good spellers. If you can recognize the patterns letters commonly appear in, you’re at an advantage. So if you’ve ever wondered why word games don’t ask you to guess the approximate <em>meaning</em> of a word, <a href="https://semantle.com/" target="_blank" title="open in a new window" rel="noopener">Semantle</a> is for you. It’s tough to even begin narrowing it down, but once you do, just aim for words with similar meanings to arrive at the answer.</p>
