A botched Adobe Lightroom app update on iOS accidentally deleted users’ photos and editing presets. Adobe responded to the widespread-bug reports and issued a patch to fix it so others won’t be affected, but it can’t recover any of the lost files.
Most people know not to feed chocolate to dogs. But did you know many other common foods in your fridge and larder are equally poisonous to canines? Everything from orange peel to toothpaste has the potential to make your dog seriously ill — in the wrong circumstances, it could even…
It’s no secret that Rick and Morty fans are obsessed with McDonald’s “Szechuan Sauce”, a limited edition Mcnugget dipping sauce that came out in 1998 to promote the Disney film Mulan. If you want to find out what all the fuss is about, this DIY recipe is pretty damn delicious….
There’s nothing quite like McDonald’s French fries straight from the fryer — they’re moist-yet-crunchy, deliciously fresh tasting and almost too hot to eat. The same can’t be said of older batches. To put it bluntly, they taste like cheap, soggy cardboard with some salt sprinkled on top. If you’re unlucky…
Google’s released a new budget-friendly device, the Pixel 4a, but how it stacks up against the competition is important to consider before you take out your hard-earned cash. Smartphone releases are never in short supply but money is. That’s why it’s always a good idea to do your research and…
There’s nothing we haven’t learned from TikTok. Sorry, I mean there’s nothing useful we haven’t learned from TikTok. Today’s Hack or Wack test is no exception.
Even under normal circumstances, early planning for major events is critical to their success. This year, of course, we are in far from ordinary circumstances, which makes it that much more important for writers to begin planning for National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo, for short — NaNo, for even…
We’re many months into a global pandemic (have you heard?) with no end in sight, and while it shouldn’t need to be said, please: stop throwing in-person parties. And definitely don’t throw a party at your rented Airbnb — if you do, you could be banned from booking with the…
At one time or another, we’ve all gotten that text, email or instant message from a colleague that made us question everything. Even though we know it can be difficult to convey tone in writing, we still may analyse every word and punctuation mark trying to find clues. Along the…
Not all arguments are worth your time and energy. In some cases — like when someone fundamentally disagrees with you — there’s nothing you can say or do to change their mind. But in other instances, it’s entirely possible to make your case and get someone to agree with (or…
An improperly-secured cloud database has exposed personal information for over 235 million TikTok, Instagram and YouTube accounts. The Hong Kong-based company Social Data was unknowingly storing the data in a database without proper password protection, meaning anyone could pop in and see it. Ugh.
For a long time, collecting was considered just another hobby. The question on the playground wasn’t if you collected something, it was what you collected. And it wasn’t limited to scratch-and-sniff stickers, unusual-looking rocks, and coins that grown-ups told you would be valuable one day — adults were in on…
Private parts are never going to taste like chocolate cake or a glazed doughnut — and that’s OK. Men and women’s natural smells and tastes are part of human sexuality, and as long as you’re healthy, there’s nothing wrong with how the universe made you. But there are a few…
The Europa League final is taking place tomorrow, Saturday 22 August. Here’s how you can watch the big game in Australia.
Menulog’s on the hunt for Australia’s Armchair Food Critic and this specific job ad will give you bragging rights to free takeout for 12-months.
Fires are a necessary and natural part of the bush lifecycle, but recent years have seen a drastic increase in the number and severity of uncontrolled wildfires during the summer months — ask any Australian or Californian about that. Thankfully, new tools in Google Search and Google Maps can keep…
As a lifelong asthmatic, I am the least-likely person to win a breath-holding contest (which is fine because it means I am also the most likely to win the “coolest person you know” contest, because there is nothing more badass than getting winded after a light jog on a cold…
In my pre-Lifehacker days, I was a content creator for the nation’s largest bookstore chain — I’m sure you know the one — and coming to the office each day was like Book Nerd Christmas: My mailbox was constantly overflowing with packages from publishers containing advance reading copies (or “ARCs”)…
Google Assistant lets you do tons of stuff on your Android Phone completely hands-free, and a recent update adds recording and sending voice messages over text to that list.
Ten years on from its release, and hitting cinemas again, Christopher Nolan’s Inception still puzzles and intrigues. It is one of those films in which you discover something new each time you watch it. Or, more likely, it makes you reinterpret what you thought you already knew. Nolan’s oeuvre builds…
Afterpay Day 2020 officially started this morning at 8am so it’s time to start adding all the items to cart that you’ve had your eye on. The two-day shopping event offers Aussies up to 70% off top retailers across fashion, tech, homewares and more. It officially ends at 11:59pm on Friday…
It is only mid-August, and several major tropical storms and hurricanes have already hit different parts of the United States. In fact, the country has already set a record for the highest number of named storms occurring by early August (nine). While there’s been some action in the usual spots…
Just because I am capable of cooking most things from scratch does not mean I always want to. I am also not immune to the charms of boxed, canned, frozen, or otherwise processed and prepared convenience foods, particularly when they possess certain qualities that just can’t be replicated outside of…
It can feel like there is very little to celebrate: We can’t throw birthday parties or wedding receptions or even go out to see a movie on a Friday night. Our kids haven’t been within six feet of their friends in five months, sports are weird, and we’ve got a…
I’ve been drinking turmeric milk on and off for 20 odd years and it’s been my saving grace whenever I’ve fallen sick or injured myself. Let me tell you why.
It’s time to get frank, blokes. Do you orgasm more quickly than you’d like to? Is it causing you (or your partner) anxiety or frustration? Then don’t fret, take action. The great news is that there’s a really simple way to do something about it – and the even better…
The latest Android TV Home update adds a new “Cinematic Highlights” section to the Android TV home screen. This new tab — which is now one of the first you’ll see in the interface — auto-plays ads for new shows and movies. If that annoys you, you still have an…
If you’re a Mac developer, or you like to try out new apps by building Xcode projects, there’s a serious strain of malware you need to be aware of: XCSSET.
Suffering is not a necessary part of exercise, nor is it a measure of a good workout.
I have found a new reason to get up in the morning, and that reason is sweetened condensed corn milk. “What the fuck is that?” you may ask. It’s exactly what it sounds like — sweetened condensed milk that has been infused with the greatness of corn.
It seems like one of the major reasons people don’t like to exercise 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 willing…
Whether you have friends or family members who work and live different schedules than you, or you find yourself sending more “happy belated birthday” messages than you’d like, having the ability to schedule text messages ahead of time is an incredibly useful feature. Unfortunately, only certain Android smartphones let you…
While the threat of coronavirus remains, sports are finding new ways to return. The latest one to make that return is the world-famous NBA league, which has now entered the playoffs stage. Here’s how you can watch it down under. It all started on 11 March when the NBA made…
