The 2020 Super Bowl might be over but the memes will live on after Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s explosive halftime performance. If you missed it, trust us when we say it was much better than last year’s Maroon 5 snoozefest. Watch it below.
Netflix’s front page can be pretty tricky to navigate. While it does a good job of promoting blockbuster movies and Netflix Originals, the other stuff is usually buried out of sight. This is where the website Flixboss comes in. It lets you search for the best movies and series on…
Every now and then, someone comes up with a question or problem so divisive that it starts an online debate that rages for days, or even weeks. (Some even last for centuries, like the “duck or rabbit” image above.) Here are five puzzles that teach us a lot about how…
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has just declared the coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. There have been more than 10,000 cases of the so-called 2019-nCoV in China, 23 countries affected and more than 213 deaths globally.
NFL Game Pass has conveniently kicked the can during the NFL’s biggest event of the year. If you’re struggling to watch the 2020 Super Bowl because of it, here are some other ways to watch the game.
Could you spot a fake video created by artificial intelligence? In the video below, I share some telltale signs that a video has been altered with deepfake technology.
If you’re in the market for a new shade of lipstick, now you can try some options out on Pinterest. Interest launched a new makeup try-on tool this week that allows you to take different lipstick shades out for a spin without leaving your house.
If you’ve finally upgraded that old iPhone 6 to a brand new iPhone X or 11, you might be wondering how to take a screenshot.
A plant-based diet can be a fine way to eat, whether you’re an athlete or not. A Netflix documentary called Game Changers argues that it’s not just fine, but that it’s better and that meat is harmful in some way. That’s not what most nutrition experts say, so let’s take…
When I first started cooking for myself and others, I considered a steak dinner to be the epitome of sophisticated adult-ness, especially when served with an aggressively tannic bottle of red wine. I wasn’t bad at making the meal, but one element always eluded me: The freaking pan sauce.
The semicolon may have a reputation as being the most aloof and intimidating of all punctuation marks. It’s stronger than a comma but lacks the finality of a period. In any case where you might want to use it, you don’t actually have to use it. So why bother? That’s…
Today is a big day for me. It’s my last official day at Lifehacker. Over the last couple of years I’ve done my best to inform you all and help you solve various problems and challenges. So, I figured for my last feature article in this stint as a contributor…
It seems like one of the major reasons people don’t like to work out is the amount of time it takes to do so. However, a study in the Journal of Physiology suggests you might be able to get all the exercise you need in just 20 minutes if you’re…
February is going to bring with it a ton of new programming for Amazon Prime customers. The month kicks off on February 1 with the addition of a ton of movies including Bridget Jones’ Diary, Judgement Day, Magic Mike, and The Spy Next Door.
When the three-year-old starts asking in February, “How long until Christmas?” you know you’ve got a problem. Around that age, they’re old enough to anticipate and look forward to things like holidays, birthdays and vacations. But they’re not old enough to have a grasp on how long “10 months,” “18…
We’re already on to our second month of the year and that means another truckload of new content is heading your way. As always, more shows and movies are coming across Netflix, Foxtel and Disney+ in February 2020 to take up even more of your precious free time. Here’s all…
During Australia’s particularly hotter months, those living without air conditioning can’t just rely on a cold change to sweep through before bedtime, making broken sleep in hot muggy bedrooms annoyingly regular.
Every day, I try to do at least one activity that is both engaging and smartphone-free—and if it’s social, that’s a bonus. Sometimes it’s group exercise class at the YMCA. Sometimes it’s choir rehearsal. Sometimes it’s as simple as spending an hour reading a physical book.
Fun fact: there are over a hundred NBN providers. These can range from small mom-and-pop style businesses to behemoths like Telstra, and then there’s everyone in between. While this might sound overwhelming, more telcos means more competition. And more competition means better prices.
My son, like many children, has had an ongoing love-hate relationship with bread crust. More emphasis on the hate, though, especially recently. When he was a toddler, I avoided them completely by making his sandwiches on “sandwich thins.” But that only worked if I was able to find the variety…
If you bought an iPhone 11—or any other new Apple hardware—between September 10 and November 1, January 31st is the last day to get a free one year trial of Apple TV+. It’s an easy process, but not something you’ll want to forget to do.
Bushfires have killed 33 people and destroyed nearly 3,000 houses across Australia so far this fire season. Canberra is under threat right now.
As you can expect, there’s lots of strange bullshit trending on Twitter at the moment: World War Six, for example, the coronavirus, all kinds of miserable bullshit. There’s also another Tweet that’s generating an awful lot of likes—maybe not quite the scale of the global disaster ones, but still—and it…
With the novel coronavirus outbreak occurring in China, the internet has been a great way to communicate awareness about the spread and how to minimise the risk of contracting it. But it’s also revealed some of the darkest aspects of the web, including the spread of misinformation and outright false…
I have ceased to give a single damn about the game of football, but it would be dishonest to deny that the Super Bowl is among the holiest of food Holidays. All the greats—wings, pizza, nachos—are in attendance (sometimes in one hot dish!). It’s a delicious day, but there’s one…
Cars have locking doors for a reason. They are there to keep you in and other people (or bears) out. But there are still people who leave their unattended cars unlocked and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why.
Microsoft’s November update for Windows 10 (version 1909) added a new quick-search bar to File Explorer that was meant to help users find files on their PC. The only issue is that it didn’t work very well at launch. Numerous bugs made using the search bar much more difficult than…
Over on Elliott Advocacy, one reader shared how a simple insurance mistake cost her roughly $US6,000 ($8,888) in hospital fees. According to the reader’s account, she tripped over a chain while on holiday in Mexico, which, in an incredible series of events, resulted in an ambulance ride to a local…
iOS 13.3.1 and iPadOS 13.3.1 both dropped yesterday, adding some convenient features and fixing a number of bugs (which we’ve listed below). iPhone and iPad owners can start the update by going to Settings > General > Software Update on their devices, though users who have enabled auto-updates likely already…
Yes, it’s cliché to exclaim that kids “grow up so fast!” But it’s become a cliché because it’s true. Especially when it comes to babies, the developmental changes children undergo from birth to one year old are staggering and can seem to happen miraculously overnight, even though you just spent…
Many Australians feel compelled to help our damaged wildlife after this season’s terrible bushfires. Suggested actions have included donating money, leaving water out for thirsty animals, and learning how to help the injured. But there is an equally, if not more, important way to assist: weeding.
Some people exercise solely to improve and maintain an already-fabulous physique. Others just want to make their bodies look presentable by shedding visceral fat. If you’re looking to get your BMI down as quickly and efficiently as possible, this explainer from an exercise physiologist will help to steer you in…
Australian streaming service Stan has been loading up their programming with tons of great TV shows and movies as of late, with a strong focus on exclusive content and Originals. If you’ve recently jumped on board (Preacher or Twin Peaks draw you in?), you might not be familiar with all…
