High fiving my way around the metaverse. I’m sitting in a beach-side office, chatting with business journalists and some of Meta’s technology experts. A few minutes earlier, I’d been with the same group looking out the window onto what looked like a futuristic version of San Francisco.  Welcome to the next-generation workplace — or at […]

There are three main types of split tunneling: URL-based, app-based, and inverse URL-based split tunneling targets traffic being routed to specific URLs, encrypting only that traffic. This type of setup could be configured to encrypt all traffic directed toward your bank’s website, your office’s sign-in and HR pages, or your medical providers’ portal. Any traffic tied […]

I’m already on the record saying the Apple Watch Ultra is one of my favorite Apple products in years. The long battery life, large display, and overall experience are unlike those of any other smartwatch I’ve used, let alone one from Apple.  But, I’ll admit, I’d been underutilizing all of the Ultra’s features.  On the […]

Every household in the United States—including US territories and military addresses—can request four more free tests. Orders start shipping this week. If you need a test right now, we […]

At the end of the year, it’s time for reflection. Often, in popular culture, this boils down to lists and essays. But rarely do those capture the smaller moments of joy. The meme that briefly dominated the group chat. The book passage you reread 10 times. The lyrics you couldn’t stop hearing in your head […]

If I’m out and about and I don’t have a bag slung across my body, I feel naked and unprepared. It’s like venturing into a dungeon without any health potions. What if I need ChapStick? Did I bring ChapStick? How can I fit my phone, keys, and face mask all in the truncated pockets of […]

Any thoughts of fast-charging equalling practicality are erased, however, when you try to get into the thing. The “40” in the GT40’s name is a reference to how high it is off the ground: just 40 inches (just over 100 cm). It comes with high sills, in this case full of batteries, and a tiny […]
