The White House has recently unveiled cheaper internet for millions, so you can check if you’re eligible for that. But, while the easiest way to boost your internet speed may be to invest in new equipment, such as one of the best Wi-Fi routers, there are several tricks that could give you a faster connection without the need to splash the cash. Though these methods aren’t 100% guaranteed to increase your internet speed, they’re certainly worth a try — plus, they’re the perfect rainy-day project....

And if you’ve taken the time to learn how to winterize hydrangeas, you might as well learn how to prune them properly too.

Whether you have the high-end iPhone 13 Pro Max or the more affordable iPhone 13, it can be a real pain if you’ve forgotten your passcode. And if you try to guess it incorrectly too many times, you’ll end up locking the handset. At this point, you’ll need to wait until you can enter the passcode again — something that may be difficult if you simply can’t remember it. The alternative is to erase and reset your iPhone so it can at least become usable again....

Thankfully, there’s a way of backing out before you get that far by retracting a bid under certain circumstances. These are actually quite restrictive, with eBay only letting you cancel a bid if: You have accidentally input the wrong amount, perhaps stating $5,000 where you meant $500;You’re struggling to get hold of a seller;You find the seller has significantly changed the description of an item after you’ve bid. As you can see, simply changing your mind isn’t actually a valid reason....

It’s also a great way of sharing your data with friends and family on nearby devices if, for example, their carrier doesn’t cover the area you’re in or if they have no data left on their phone plan. Sharing your data using a personal hotspot is incredibly easy to do on iPhone, and this guide is here to show you exactly how to do it. Read on to find out....

This guide covers the basics for how to train for a half marathon, from finding the right training schedule to preparing to run five days per week to knowing what to do in the days leading up to your race, especially if that race is a Turkey Trot for example. While this guide isn’t a substitute for a program developed by a certified coach, it will help you know what you expect as you take on your half marathon goal....

The Eagles (11-1) own the best record in the NFL. Their quarterback, Jalen Hurts has played himself into franchise quarterback status as well as the league’s MVP conversation. Their running back, Miles Sanders, is having a career year and one of their key offseason acquisitions, wide receiver A.J. Brown, is on pace for a career high 1,300 receiving yards. With all three players performing at such a high level, Philly is a truly diverse team that keeps defensive coordinators up at night....

Nine queens from the Drag Race franchise will re-enter the Werk Room to face off for the title of the first-ever Queen of the Mothertucking World. They include: Drag Race UK alums Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea and Cheryl Hole; two American queens, Jujubee and Mo Heart; Canada’s Jimbo and Lemon; Janey Jacké from Drag Race Holland; and Drag Race Thailand judge Pangina Heals competing as a contestant for the first time....

When I started the review process, I was ready to love the $150 Cloud Mix Buds. But the longer I used them, the more I came up against potentially deal-breaking issues. The touch controls don’t work properly at all; the connectivity is mercurial and hard to troubleshoot; the fit is not that good, even with three separate size options. While I can’t recommend the Cloud Mix Buds without reservation, I can say the earbuds’ heart is definitely in the right place....

“I set out to write this primer with my tongue firmly in my cheek, but I wound up at a place of genuine frustration,” I wrote. “That’s because Kingdom Hearts has a ridiculously convoluted narrative, twisted into place by more than a decade of questionable spinoffs — and there is absolutely no reason why this had to be the case.” I find myself thinking this same thing as I play through the Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind DLC....

That is, until I found All Creatures Great and Small. Like an Irish sweater, it’s wrapped me up in a cozy cocoon that will see me through the winter, at least (Ted Lasso season 3 is expected around summer 2022). It also helps that each episode is an hour long — twice that of Lasso. Why I love All Creatures Great and Small Like Ted Lasso, ACGaS features an outsider starting a new job with a prickly boss in an unfamiliar English town....

I’d consider myself a Souls skeptic (although recently Demon’s Souls really caught my attention on PS5) While I’ve always admired From’s particular brand of tough-as-nails RPGs from afar, they never quite clicked with me. I assumed Elden Ring would be more of the same, and instead reserved my hype for the glut of other February games, such as Dying Light 2 Stay Human, Sifu and Horizon Forbidden West. Once Elden Ring’s phenomenal reviews started pouring in, my resolve weakened and quickly crumbled....

Much to my surprise, The Joker was a complete triumph when it dropped in 2019. Sure, it shamelessly cribs much of its narrative from Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy, but in the increasingly cookie-cutter comic book movie space, Joker felt like a much-needed breath of fresh air. And clearly, I wasn’t the only one that enjoyed the story of how Arthur Fleck became The Joker, as the film went on to unexpectedly gross more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office....

In an update back in 2015, the search giant added a new program called Local Guides to the platform. Unlike other things that Google has killed off over the years, Local Guides is still going strong. Have you ever searched for “food near me” in Google Maps? Then you’ve seen pictures taken by a Local Guide and you might have even seen one of my photos. I started contributing to Google Maps five years ago as I found it more fun than playing Pokemon Go but I kept at it as it gave me an excuse to go to new places, try new things and take loads of photos....

Here’s the short-hand version of the story: Joe Rogan brings on a wide variety of guests, and those guests sometimes say things that aren’t factually correct, and Rogan doesn’t always shut them down. Young, after noticing a group of doctors petitioning Spotify, gave his record label (and the big green streaming machine) an ultimatum: either Rogan’s podcast goes or my music walks. Spotify, which had reportedly invested more than $100 million into its deal to make The Joe Rogan Experience an exclusive to its service, did not side with Young....

However, we live in an era of smartphones — and with smartphones, comes cloud gaming. The games you buy are no longer tied to a specific box in your living room. With services such as Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia GeForce Now, you can theoretically take your whole collection with you wherever you go. What’s more: You could build up an entire game library without ever buying a console or PC to go with it....

But it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer, as the discreet graphics cards that had been tipped to launch this month. Yet now, according to information from Igor’s Lab (opens in new tab), the Arc desktop GPUs won’t arrive until the summer, likely later on in the season. Apparently, driver problems have meant that the Arc graphics cards now have a vague launch window of July 1, 2022 to August 31, 2022....

As explained by Apple (opens in new tab), in an effort to lessen the environmental impact of charging your phone, iPhones running iOS 16.1 will learn users’ charging habits and aim to juice up an iPhone with the cleanest energy possible. Apple states that through location services, the phone “gets a forecast of the carbon emissions in your local energy grid,” and then prioritizes charging your device at times when your local grid is producing energy at its cleanest....

Interestingly this compatibility hasn’t been mentioned by Apple in the list of iOS 16.1 new features but was instead unearthed by users. Tech commentator Steve Troughton-Smith (opens in new tab) tweeted about his discovery, including a short clip of him using the D-pad of his SNES controller on an Apple TV. Of course, there is no N64 controller port on the iPhone 14 so it’s not quite time to dust off the consoles in the attic....

That would make the rumored iPhone 15 Ultra the most expensive phone Apple’s ever sold, which is doubtlessly why the rumor is getting so much attention. It’s also something that I wouldn’t get too worked up about at this early date in the iPhone 15 rumor cycle. The iPhone 15 Ultra pricing rumor comes from LeaksApplePro (opens in new tab), who posts Apple rumors of varying accuracy to Twitter. The leaker expects the iPhone 15 Ultra to cost at least $100 more than the $1,099 starting price for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and says that the price hike could wind up as much as $200 more....
