The legal battle between Epic Games and Apple is escalating once again. For a second time, the warring factions are going straight to the top of the judicial system. Apple is asking for the Supreme Court to review when and how it can charge commissions on mobile purchases made via third-party payment systems. The business has requested a motion to stay on a lower court ruling regarding the fees Apple charges to software developers using those external financial systems rather than the App Store.The last time Apple petitioned for an appeal at the top of the judicial branch, it was…

The quick sale has always been a false promise, a vision forced upon others. Consultative selling might be a solution or the worst thing ever. It’s your call to choose. As Tyler Durden says, “Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need.” While quoting Fight Club can seem like the start of a satirical critique on the nature of selling, it is not that. None can escape the hamster wheel of consumerism; everyone wants to survive, eat well, and live luxurious lives, including work lives. But what we can…

Americans already lose roughly $1,500 a year to spoiled groceries, according to a 2025 CNET survey, but the freezer isn’t always the rescue it appears to be. The freezer feels like a safe haven for anything you’re not ready to use or that bulk haul of produce you bought on sale. The problem? Not everything comes back from the cold in one piece. Some foods need special handling before they’re frozen, while others simply can’t be saved — emerging mealy, mushy or completely inedible.Before you seal something in a bag and call it “saved,” here are 11 common foods that have no…

Mini PCs have gotten genuinely capable over the last couple of years, but most of them still ask you to accept meaningful connectivity compromises to get into a compact chassis. The GEEKOM A7 MAX doesn’t make that trade. It’s down to $699 at Amazon, a $250 saving off its $949 list price, and it pairs a Ryzen 9 7940HS with dual USB4 ports, dual 2.5G LAN, and DDR5 memory in a package that takes up less desk space than most monitors. What you’re getting The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS is an 8-core, 16-thread processor that boosts up to 5.2GHz, which…

Dr Michelle Ng turned a moment of loss into a new beginning for herself On Jun 28, 2025, Dr Michelle Ng was 39 weeks pregnant, nine days away from giving birth. That’s when she received an email from her previous employer, saying that they would pause her senior doctor incentives and deduct from her maternity pay to cover the commissions for doctors hired in her place.  She read the email twice. Then she went on to draft her resignation letter with conviction. What happened next would transform Dr Michelle’s and her family’s lives. Within a few months, she would open…

Apple Watches are smart little gadgets, but they don’t always fit the vibe. There were plenty of nights and dressier events when I left mine at home because—as much as I wanted to check my notifications discreetly—it didn’t match my outfit. I’ve also had my fair share of faux pas and just let the neon orange sport band clash with my neutral ensemble.Fortunately, Apple Watch bands are a simple and relatively affordable way to zhuzh up the look of your wearable. Beyond aesthetics, different styles also impact performance and functionality. For example, I don’t want a heavy stainless steel or…

Eric Howard, founder of Dog Tired, rides his One Wheel while running Boone, a golden retriever, near Lake Tapps, Wash. (Photo courtesy of DogTired) It’s tough to tell who has the bigger smile: the guy zipping by on the Onewheel, the dog running alongside him at full sprint, or the passersby lucky enough to witness it. This is Eric Howard‘s dream job. Howard is the founder and chief dog runner at Dog Tired, a dog-exercising service outside of Seattle that operates at a different speed. After stints in tech, including at data visualization company Tableau, Howard ditched the corporate leash…

Capital One Financial Corp.’s five-year mission to transform its information technology operations to a “serverless-first” model is paying off in improved developer productivity, lower operating costs and a shift away from infrastructure focus toward customer-facing outcomes. The move has been less a technology migration than a redefinition of how applications are built, operated and governed at enterprise scale, executives say. Reducing the need to manage infrastructure has required the financial services giant to shed some control, but the speed at which it can deploy new applications has more than made up for the tradeoffs. Serverless computing is a cloud execution…

Is it the era of the great digital retreat? Ofcom’s latest report concludes so. Ofcom recently conducted a survey across UK social media users and noticed a strange dip. Only 49% of the UK adults actually post, share or even comment on social media. That’s a 61% decline since 2024. The reason, one can assume, is the panopticon effect. Social media was always thought be a space for the ‘now’- the ‘present.’ But if one hasn’t noticed, it’s now used as a record of our past and present followings. You can also call this: archive anxiety. It’s the fear that…
