After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at all
In January I finally made good on my threat/promise to install Linux on my desktop. I wanted to see how far I could get using a Linux PC as my main computer without doing a bunch of research beforehand or troubleshooting afterwards. Since then I have booted into Windows exactly twice: once to scan a multipage document that wasn’t scanning…

I tested the JBL Xtreme 5 vs JBL Xtreme 4: It’s closer than I thought
The JBL Xtreme 4 perfectly bridges the gap between portable outdoor speaker and a ferocious, bassy boombox. The JBL Xtreme 5 is the grown-up version of the Xtreme 4: bigger, bolder, brawnier. It’s the loudest speaker I’ve ever tested. Upon its release in 2024, the JBL Xtreme 4 instantly positioned itself as one of the best Bluetooth speakers ever made.…

The ‘3-2-1 rule’ helps me fall asleep in minutes — here’s how it works
As a sleep writer, I know the military sleep method is the gold standard hack for falling asleep fast. But whenever I put it to the test, I’d find myself staring at the ceiling. So I was looking for another way to cut down my sleep latency (the time it takes it drift off) when I came across the 3-2-1…

The US gets the worst phones
Apple and Samsung dominate the US phone market, and they’ve done so for years. Together with Google, they’ve shaped our sense of what a smartphone is and what it can do, pushing the boundaries of mobile photography, software, and processing power. But over the last few years, they’ve sat back, content to iterate rather than innovate — and in the…

Forget wobbles: This 5-move ‘barefoot mobility’ routine builds bulletproof balance, connection and stability
Let’s be really honest about this: How often do you think about your balance? Perhaps more often if you’re over 60, but otherwise, it doesn’t really feature in the day-to-day for many people. As you age, and with the natural acceleration of lean muscle mass loss and bone density (especially for women transitioning through perimenopause and menopause), you might notice…

Musk vs. Altman is here, and it’s going to get messy
Elon Musk cofounded OpenAI, and then flounced off in a huff when he wasn’t anointed CEO, leaving Sam Altman as the last power-hungry man standing. Now, Musk is back with a lawsuit, and a trial is scheduled to start in Oakland, California, on April 27th. Theoretically, it’s a legal case about whether OpenAI defrauded Musk. But that’s not really what…

Iqunix Magi75 review: Good but could have been great
I’ve tested a lot of keyboards as a reviews writer. Last I counted, I’d reviewed over 80 keyboards — magnetic and mechanical. The most recent deck I’ve tested is the Iqunix Magi75, a mechanical keyboard with beautiful Kailh Gold Red switches which are a delight to type on. The keyboard sounds lovely with a creamy profile, and it looks great,…
