One of my favourite autumn traditions involves arguing about caramel apples with my New Englander of a boyfriend. He — a man who is wrong — thinks being from Connecticut gives him special insight into what autumn “is.” He insists that candy apples — which are hard to eat and…
Meal planning is a lot easier when you’re ok with eating the exact same meals every day. On the other hand, variety is one of the keystones of a healthy diet. So how bad is it, really, if you eat the same thing all the time?
The PlayStation 5’s launch lineup includes several “cross-gen” games that are also available on the PlayStation 4. The PS5 ports will look and play much better than the PS4 versions, and some developers let users upgrade to the enhanced PS5 versions for free. However, this brings up two important questions:…
Since the 2012 hit film Magic Mike explored the hedonistic lifestyle of men who strip for women, popular culture has exploded with images of sexy, muscular, athletic and shirtless (or pantless!) “hot” men. In our contemporary digital world, pornography and online dating apps offer male bodies to look at in…
Entry-level NBN plans aren’t as common as they used to be, with most providers now focusing on pricier products with unlimited data and faster speeds. Of course, these plans aren’t for everyone. Not everyone needs or wants an expensive NBN connection. What if you just want to stream a little…
It’s once again time for another round of Click Frenzy’s huge sales, which means its bargains galore from now until 12:00am on Friday, November 13. From laptops to gaming monitors, games, peripherals, and headsets, you name it and there’s bound to be a nice deal going for it. Check out…
Click Frenzy 2020 has officially kicked off, and with it comes a lot of random shit you probably don’t need but will likely buy anyway. And hey, who are we to stop you? Half the fun of shopping in the sales is coming out with endless things you didn’t intend…
Originally launched back in 2012, Click Frenzy has firmly established itself as one of Australia’s must watch sale events. So far this year, we’ve had both Click Frenzy Mayhem and Click Frenzy Sports sales – but those were just warm ups for the Click Frenzy’s main event of 2020. To…
Well, here we are. And yes, that’s Apple’s Craig Federighi peering lovingly at Apple’s big move to its own silicon — the M1 chip, the first system-on-a-chip for Macs and the world’s first five-nanometre chip for a laptop or desktop.
One of the great things about eating birds is getting to consume their (hopefully) crispy, (ideally) well-seasoned skin. But some people, like my mother, don’t appreciate this gift. (This ended up working out well for me as a youth, as I could steal all the skin from the rotisserie chicken…
This pandemic has gifted each of us our own cornucopia of physical and mental garbage: anxiety, isolation, depression, inertia, and insomnia, to name a few. For some, it also led to the more frequent consumption of less healthy (read: comfort) foods. And that indulgence (which, frankly, we deserve) has led…
If you’re in the market for a new mobile plan, or even just a new phone, Click Frenzy has recently kicked off with a few telcos offering some impressive deals. These are the best so far. Be sure to check back in this post, as we’ll be updating it as…
It’s coming to the end of the year, which means it’s getting to that time where many of us will be attempting to navigate the piles of crap we’ve accrued over the months. No? Just me? Okay then. In any case, when the urge to attack a major clean comes…
Circles.Life is a little-known telco with a questionable name choice. But they’re running real hectic SIM-only plan deal for Click Frenzy right now. For $28 a month you get a whopping 100GB data, and you don’t even need to sign a contract.
The pandemic has made us question everything, laundry included. No longer are dirty clothes limited to coming off in the bedroom or bathroom; now we have to deal with masks that are removed on our way home from outings as well.
In the time it takes you to watch the video below, you will probably receive 3-5 spam calls. Or at least it feels like that.
We have gotten accustomed in recent years to living with both inaccurate and all-out fake information on social media and in the news. And as the current U.S. president refuses to concede the election — citing baseless claims of electoral fraud — and as the rollout of a COVID-19 vaccine…
Fortnite’s iOS app is still banned from Apple’s App store, but that never stopped anyone clever.
Adding to the list of things to look forward to in 2021 is Australia’s production of the hit Broadway show Hamilton. The hip-hop musical based on the history of America’s founding fathers sold out in rapid time in Australia earlier this year. Now, to add to the excitement, the cast…
Hello, and welcome back to Lifehacker’s Chilli Cook-Off. After kicking off the series with a super accessible, beanless, honest Texas chilli, we’re getting a little more involved with Katie P’s Umami Bomb Chilli.
Your phone buzzes, letting you know about a new message, and you glance down to see a notification from a friend from high school. It’s been ages since you’ve heard from them, and immediately open their message out of sheer curiosity.
Choosing a guardian to raise your kids in the event of your death (and that of any co-parent you have) might be one of the toughest, most complicated decisions you’ll ever make as a parent. It’s also a decision we know we should make, but one that a lot of…
Last month Apple unveiled the new iPhone 12 range, which included the standard edition along with three variants: the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are now available, while pre-orders for the iPhone 12 Mini or iPhone 12…
Valve is changing how beta access works for Steam games for the better. Instead of forcing you to input a special key from a game’s developer to join a beta, the new Steam Playtest feature makes it a lot easier to find and sign up to test games on your…
There are plenty of apps you can use to make countdown widgets on iOS 14. Don’t go searching for the word “countdown” in the App Store though, you’ll just get frustrated. I’ve been toying around with one called Countdown Widget Maker, and while it’s not free — very few are…
We’re all guilty of sometimes unplugging one device from our TVs and then just using the same HDMI cable to plug in the newer, better thing. The lovely versatility of the HDMI port allows this to seem like a good idea, and frankly it’s much easier than climbing behind the…
While used PS4s and Xboxes may not make up a significant portion of e-waste, that doesn’t mean they aren’t contributing to the problem. If you have any used gaming consoles, don’t trash them — you can likely re-sell them at any electronics store or recycle them at the very least.
If this week (or year, really) has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t have nice things: A functioning democracy, the ability to hug someone you don’t live with…even onions. And now, it has come for our beloved vacuum robots — yes, the Roomba. When you think about it, they’ve…
One of Zoom’s best features is finally available in Google Meet: Virtual backgrounds. For now, you’ll only get it if you’re using Google Meet via a desktop browser (sorry, app users), and it’s coming online via a rollout, so you might not even able able to access it yet. The…
If you’re lactose-intolerant you might think you’ve been cursed to a life without cheese, but not all cheeses contain high levels of that problematic sugar. To see which cheeses are still your friend (and which will give you trouble), just take a peek at the nutrition label.
I get it. We all want answers from the 2020 election, especially if they deliver good news for [insert your political affiliation here]. As a result, plenty of people are obsessing over every little scrap of information as it hits the internet — every glimmer of news that might point…
Telstra and Optus are two of Australia’s largest internet providers, but they both sit toward the more premium end of the pricing scale. Spending extra can net you perks like more reliable peak hour speeds, but if you’re going to drop top dollar on your internet plan, who should you…
In another important election for 2020, Australians have voted for their favourite supermarket products. Over 9,000 Australian shoppers cast votes in the annual Product of the Year Awards to narrow down the 29 most popular items on shelves. The Product of the Year awards is in its 12th year in…
