Most Apple products are pretty expensive, but some of the most affordable (and useful) ones are AirTags. The Bluetooth trackers are priced pretty reasonably even when not on sale, but they can be a steal if you can get them on a discount — like right now. A four pack of AirTags is on sale for $65 at Amazon, which is only a few dollars more than the record-low price we saw during Black Friday a couple of months ago.AppleThat’s a near-record low price on the Bluetooth trackers.  $65 at AmazonAirTags can be useful for people who travel frequently, helping…

I have a standing Friday night date with a Greek salad. Made by a Park Slope takeout spot, it’s an “American style” salad with lettuce chopped spaghetti-thin, a handful of herbs, and a huge crumble (I mean, huge) serving of feta cheese, topped off with a lemon vinaigrette. But last week, the typically gargantuan feta mountain was more like a molehill—all because of a feta cheese shortage starting in Greece.For those who aren’t feta fanatics, here’s a quick breakdown of the cheese from Sarah Schneider, the co-owner of Gus and Marty’s in Williamsburg: “True Greek feta is made from sheep’s…

For a tech writer, being very offline is sort of like being a marathon coach who doesn’t run. So in 2025, I tried to reverse years of studied avoidance towards the most ubiquitous technological phenomenon on earth — I got back on social media. The change was short-lived.My first exodus from the feeds took some work — disabling notifications, removing apps from my homescreen and then deleting accounts entirely. This time, the phone put itself down. The whole thing has simply lost its luster.I started with Instagram. Every experience went like this: I’d see a single post from one of…

As usual, 2025 was a year of deep congressional dysfunction in the US. But state legislatures were passing laws that govern everything from AI to social media to the right to repair. Many of these laws, alongside rules passed in past years, take effect in 2026 — either right now or in the coming months.As of January 1st, Americans should have the right to crypto ATM refunds in Colorado, wide-ranging electronics repairs in Colorado and Washington, and AI system transparency in California, among other things. But a last-minute court ruling offered a reprieve from one high-profile state law: Texas’ App…

Democratic Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and right-wing Gov. Ron DeSantis agree on virtually nothing. But they found common ground this year as leading skeptics of the artificial intelligence industry’s data center boom. The alignment of two national figures on the left and right signals that a political reckoning is brewing over the AI industry’s impact on electricity prices, grid stability and the labor market. The opposition could slow the industry’s development plans if it reaches a broad bipartisan consensus. Sanders, I-VT, has called for a national moratorium on data center construction. “Frankly, I think you’ve got to slow this process…

What does “feel-good food” mean? It depends on whom you ask. That’s why each installment of our Feel-Good Food Plan—with delicious recipes and a few wild cards—is hosted by someone new. This month, our Test Kitchen editor Rebecca Firkser shares how she supports her own well-being after the holiday rush.After a solid month of ignoring my home kitchen in favor of rich holiday dinners out, paying each check with a martini-fueled shrug at the total, I’m ready to head back into something resembling a routine. The start of a new year is certainly a slate-cleaning moment when it comes to…

First the influencers and manosphere loons added protein to ice cream, and I did not care because I rarely eat ice cream. Then they added it to popcorn, and I did not care because I rarely eat popcorn. Now they’re adding it to coffee creamer, and I am forced to care because I am hopelessly addicted to coffee, caffeine, and anything even remotely gimmicky in this space.Memes aside, protein feels is everywhere these days. The usual suspects blame it on the rise of wellness culture, the rightward lurch of America’s political gestalt, and the noxious fumes emitted by the sputtering…

ORLANDO, FL – Barring a national championship, every end to a Michigan football season is bittersweet, no matter the team.Sure, a win can blunt the pain of knowing it’s the final gathering of any particular Wolverines squad, especially if it also brings a sense of momentum for the following season. Even a loss can bring that, with enough standout returners.AdvertisementBut for this Michigan team those don’t quite apply after the Wolverines fell to Texas, 41-27, in the Citrus Bowl on Wednesday, Dec. 31. U-M gave up 17 unanswered points in the final 6:54 to end 2025 with a thud. Perhaps…

Other Fitness Trackers to ConsiderPhotograph: Adrienne SoGarmin Instinct 3 for $400: Garmin’s Instinct line doesn’t have as many high-end features as the Fenix 8, but it’s popular because it’s cheaper and it has a cool, chunky retro aesthetic that I love. This year’s updates include the built-in flashlight and a new reinforced bezel, which is good considering that I still managed to bang up the Fenix and Epix watches quite a bit.
