How the Instant Pot Changed the Way I Cook
For most of my life, I never considered myself a cook. I grew up eating whatever my parents cooked at home, going out to eat with my boyfriend, or just grabbing fast food wherever. I loved food, but it was more about eating it than cooking it myself. And then I moved out. At first, my boyfriend and I would get food from typical fast food chains and casual joints. As much as I love a greasy burger or burrito bowl, it wasn’t healthy. And the cost adds up quickly. I knew that something had to...

Is Apple deliberately slowing down cellular data on some iPhone 8 models?
When the iPhone 8 was officially announced, Apple made a big deal about the phone being "built for wireless." That isn't really true, as we've said before -- the iPhone 8 has the slow version of wireless charging, and the slow version of LTE data. Apple didn't mention gigabit LTE, or any of the wireless carriers' new LTE technology, during its presentation. But that doesn't mean the iPhone 8's hardware isn't capable of supporting it.
iFixit found during their teardown of the new iPhone 8 that ...

OSIRIS-REx probe buzzes Earth on its way to an asteroid – and earthlings wave back
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft took pictures — and had its picture taken — as it zoomed past Earth today on its way to the asteroid Bennu. The close encounter served as much more than a photo op: OSIRIS-REx’s gravity-assist maneuver was an essential part of its trajectory toward Bennu, a near-Earth asteroid that’s currently more than 31 million miles away. OSIRIS-REx came as close as 10,711 miles to Earth at 9:52 a.m. PT, blazing over Antarctica at a relative speed of 19,000 ...

President Trump is expected to scrap his travel ban — and replace it with a country-by-country system
But administration officials have not yet announced which countries are in the cross hairs. President Donald Trump is expected to replace a travel ban that targeted immigrants and refugees from six Muslim-majority countries with a new, broader system that imposes limits on a country-by-country basis.
But administration officials previewing the change Friday declined repeatedly to reveal which countries’ citizens would be subject to the new travel restrictions, citing the fact that Trump has no...
