  • 3 Truths About Love That Can Elevate Your Marriage By A Psychologist
    www.forbes.com
    Love might not always look how we think it should. These truths about love may feel ... More counter-intuitive, but are the key to creating a truly long-lasting marriage.gettyLove is often romanticized as a feeling that effortlessly sustains a relationship a magical force that, once found, should naturally keep a marriage strong. We see this idea in movies, books and fairy tales, where love alone is enough to guarantee a lifetime of happiness.But the truth is, love isnt just something you feel its something you do. Over time, even the strongest marriages go through shifts, and understanding the deeper truths about love can make all the difference between growing together or growing apart.Here are three truths about love that can transform how you view marriage and elevate your connection.1. Love Is Sustained Through Rituals, Not Just FeelingsMany couples believe that if they dont feel in love all the time, something must be wrong. In reality, love isnt about a constant emotional high its about the rituals that reinforce connection. A litany of research shows that small, consistent gestures of affection, appreciation and attention have a greater impact on relationship satisfaction than grand romantic gestures.For instance, a 2021 study published in Contemporary Family Therapy found that couples who spent more time talking not just resolving conflicts, but engaging in everyday conversations reported higher relationship satisfaction, greater closeness and a more positive perception of their partner. On the other hand, those who spent more time arguing experienced lower satisfaction and perceived more negative qualities in their relationship.This means that love is built in everyday moments in the way you greet each other in the morning, the inside jokes you share or the way you instinctively reach for your partners hand.Additionally, psychologist John Gottman found that happy couples engage in specific daily rituals that strengthen their bond and create long-term relationship satisfaction. Here are five rituals that the Gottman Institute recommends:Eat meals together without screens. Turn off distractions and make mealtime a space for connection. Sharing a meal without phones or TV allows you to engage in meaningful conversation, strengthening emotional intimacy and reinforcing a sense of togetherness.Have a stress-reducing conversation. Set aside 30 minutes each day to talk about external stressors work challenges, personal frustrations or daily wins. This isnt the time to discuss relationship conflicts but rather to support each other as partners navigating lifes pressures.Exercise together. Whether its a morning walk, an evening bike ride or trying a new fitness class, moving together creates both physical and emotional closeness. Shared activities build teamwork and introduce novelty, which helps keep the relationship dynamic and exciting.Share a six-second kiss. A lingering kiss is more than just affection it triggers oxytocin (the bonding hormone), reduces stress and deepens physical intimacy. Instead of a quick peck, embrace a kiss that lasts at least six seconds to reignite warmth and connection.Keep dating. Long-term relationships thrive when partners continue to pursue each other. Plan regular date nights, surprise each other with thoughtful gestures and stay curious by asking open-ended questions. Dating doesnt stop when commitment begins its what keeps the spark alive.Remember, love isnt just a feeling its a practice.2. Love Thrives On Respect More Than PassionPassion may ignite a relationship, but respect is what keeps it alive. When couples lose respect for each other, love begins to erode. Respect isnt just about avoiding insults or hurtful behavior its reflected in how you speak to each other, how you listen and how you handle disagreements.Exploring its critical role in relationship commitment, a series of studies in 2024 found that both status-based respect (admiration for a partners competence) and inclusion-based respect (feeling valued and accepted) are directly linked to relationship satisfaction. When individuals feel disrespected, their relationship satisfaction declines, which in turn lowers their commitment.Simply put, couples who feel respected by their partners are not only happier, but also more devoted to maintaining their relationship.Here are a few strategies to help you build a deeply respectful relationship:The perspective swap exercise. When disagreements arise, pause and mentally argue your partners side for a few minutes. This practice encourages empathy, helping you understand their viewpoint rather than reacting defensively. It also helps you assume the best of them, even in difficult moments.The respect-first communication rule. Before responding in frustration, ask yourself, Would I say this to a close friend? This mental filter encourages kindness and discourages dismissive or hurtful reactions.Silent acknowledgment ritual. Each day, take a moment to mentally appreciate one thing your partner does, even if you dont express it aloud. This trains your brain to focus on admiration rather than criticism.3. Love Requires Uncomfortable ConversationsMany people think avoiding conflict keeps love alive, but the opposite is true. Love grows when couples are willing to have the hard conversations about unmet needs, lingering resentments or personal struggles. Avoiding difficult topics creates emotional distance, while open communication strengthens intimacy.Research confirms that communication is one of the strongest predictors of marital satisfaction. For instance, a 2021 study published in Psychological Reports, analyzing 331 married individuals found that effective communication significantly contributes to relationship quality, second only to intrinsic motivation. Couples who openly discuss challenges tend to have stronger, more resilient relationships, while those who avoid conflict risk growing apart.This doesnt mean fighting constantly, it means creating a safe space where both partners feel heard and understood when they express their concerns. The key is to approach difficult conversations with curiosity rather than blame, and to establish habits that make communication easier.Here are a few creative strategies for navigating tough conversations.The 10-minute tension rule. When a tough discussion arises, set a timer for 10 minutes to keep the conversation focused and manageable. Knowing theres a time limit prevents spiraling into unproductive arguments. If the issue isnt fully resolved, take a break and return to it later with a clearer mind.Pace your discussion with voice memos. Instead of debating in real-time, an alternative is to record a short voice memo explaining your thoughts and feelings, then listen to your partners response without interruption. This method eliminates reactive emotions, allows for clearer self-expression and encourages both partners to process their thoughts and feelings before responding.Use an outside perspective reframe. When stuck in a disagreement, step outside your own emotions and discuss the issue as if advising a close friend in the same situation. This creates distance from personal biases, reduces defensiveness and helps both partners view solutions more objectively.By embracing open communication, couples can strengthen their emotional bond, especially during life transitions. Tough conversations may feel uncomfortable, but they are essential for long-term marital satisfaction.Love isnt just a feelingits a series of choices. Take the science-backed Relationship Satisfaction Scale to see if your love is alive and well, or requires a little more fuel to keep going.

  • Tiny Macintosh Classic-style PC with flip-up display is actually a Windows powerhouse
    www.techspot.com
    In a nutshell: Today's computers vastly outpace their predecessors in raw power, but there's no denying the iconic style and meticulous craftsmanship of 1980s desktop designs. Tapping directly into that nostalgia is Ayaneo's latest creation the Retro Mini PC AM01S. This device not only revives the vintage Mac aesthetic but also packs decidedly modern components behind its retro exterior all crammed into a compact 1-liter CNC alloy case. If you've already heard of Ayaneo's original AM01 retro mini PC, then this newer model should be pretty familiar. The AM01S retains the same cute, chunky design as its predecessor, complete with chamfered edges and tiny retro racing stripes. But the big upgrade here is the addition of a built-in flip-up touchscreen display.This 4-inch smart screen functions as a native extended Windows display, meaning you can use the AM01S as a self-contained portable PC without an external monitor. When flipped down, the setup transforms into a convincing homage to classic Macs complete with Apple's iconic "hello" screensaver plastered across Ayaneo's promo images.The real magic, however, happens when you flip the screen up. It becomes a handy touchscreen for quick settings adjustments, performance monitoring, or just looking undeniably cool while you work. This functionality is powered by Ayaneo's proprietary software, which adds useful features like performance overlays, one-tap mode switching, and live weather and clock widgets.Yet, as much as the vintage aesthetics charm, the real star is what's under the hood.The AM01S packs AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, which is a 12-core, 24-thread unit. That chip also comes with the Radeon 890M, a powerful integrated GPU with 16 RDNA 3.5 compute units, making it more than capable of 1080p gaming.Equally impressive is how Ayaneo has managed to squeeze an efficient 65W dual-fan cooling system into such a small form factor. The setup includes dual heat pipes, a dedicated SSD cooler, and ample ventilation to prevent thermal throttling. // Related StoriesRounding out the specs are DDR5 5600MT/s memory, an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD, USB4 connectivity, and even 2.5GbE Ethernet. Dual SSD slots and an SDXC card reader are also included. For such a tiny package, the AM01S certainly doesn't cut corners on performance.That said, tiny PCs with flip-up displays appear to be a growing trend for 2025. This release follows the Aoostar G-Flip 370, another retro-inspired mini PC though that one leans more into a Game Boy aesthetic.

  • You Asked: Humidity hazards, too-close TVs, washed-out watching
    www.digitaltrends.com
    html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd" Table of ContentsTable of ContentsToo steamy for my TV?Possible light projector damage?Remote wrangling for two too-close TVsNew brand for better picture?Washed-out watchingOn todays You Asked: Can you have an OLED if you live in a high-humidity environment?LG G4 OLED Zeke Jones / Digital TrendsSean, our island nit nerd ohana, writes: I recently purchased a G4, but I didnt consider humidity. Like a lot of older homes on Oahu, my house doesnt have A/C. Should I be very concerned about the humid air in my house for my OLEDs longevity and would it be worth buying a dehumidifier for it?First off, and I suppose anyone who saw my Golden Ear T66 speaker review may know a little about this, but I have a lot of family ties to Oahu. My fathers parents served at Pearl Harbor, my grandmother was one of the militarys first female aircraft mechanics, my dad was born there, and my grandfather is resting at Punchbowl Cemetery, more properly known as the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. Ive spent a good amount of time in the islands and on cruise ships in high-humidity environments and I can tell you: If you havent experienced real humidity or have even been away from it for just two years, you forget. You might have memories, but your body forgets. Humidity can be a problem not just for people, but for all organic things and that includes organic light emitting diodes, which is what OLED TVs use to make a picture.RelatedHumidity is not great for electronics in general, so already were starting at a disadvantage. OLED compounds are organic and they degrade faster in high humidity environments, not just because of the moisture but because of the accelerated oxidation.However, an OLED TV isnt going to die right away. You likely wont notice a problem within a year, and perhaps two. After that, there are no guarantees because although you may not see the issues right away, the chemical breakdown is happening at a faster level than in lower humidity.There are scientific papers published on this subject. Three Indian scientists published an extensive report about the effect of high humidity on OLED displays in the Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering.So, if you live in a high-humidity environment and dont have climate control that regulates the humidity for the area where an OLED TV will be placed, get a dehumidifier. Its a smart investment. As a bonus, the room will feel a bit cooler even if the temperature is the same as an adjacent, more humid room.High heat can also negatively impact OLED displays, but were talking about long-term exposure to high, direct heat. Thats one of many reasons that putting an OLED outdoors is generally a bad idea. Direct sunlight, even on a mild day, can damage an OLED panel. Dont worry so much about the heat in your home being a problem. The OLED wont get hurt unless youre hurting from the heat, and as long as the heat isnt too high for too long, it should be fine. Direct sunlight for too long, though, isnt great, but most OLEDs wont get much inside a home as the sun moves throughout the day.Heres another OLED safety question from Paolo, who writes: Would a 6,000-lumen long-throw laser projector directed at a motorized floor-rising projector screen with 0.4mm acoustic perforations pose any risk of damage to a Sony A95K QD-OLED TVimmediately behind it? Unsurprisingly, dots of light spill onto the panel while the projector and screen are in use, but then its completely bathed in projection light when the motorized screen isnt fully erect (<30secs)I have to be very careful here. I want to say that I will not be held liable should anything happen to your QD-OLED TV, as I have not taken measurements and dont have hard data to support my theory. However, with that clearly disclosed, I can say: I highly doubt your OLED TV is at risk for damage.First, the laser light source in your projector is rated not to exceed 250 milliwatts. These labels can sometimes be inaccurate, but I think were in the safety zone even if the projector has a Class 3 rating and associated warning sticker.Second, if the projector is a single-laser projector, then it is a blue laser with a phosphor mounted over it, so that it can project a very pure white light. That phosphor makes the light source diffuse right away. If it is a three-laser projector, that power is being spread out among red, green, and blue light sources. This means not all of that laser power is going out at full strength all the time, unless it is to make white. Even then Im not worried.Third, the light gets scattered a great deal both in the projector and as it travels toward your screen. That means the light beam will be fairly weak at any given single point on your OLED screen by the time it gets there and will only happen for 30 seconds or less. Then, by the time your projector screen is up, those pinpoints of light that get through the perforations will be really weak.In short, no, Im not worried about it. I think a 5mw laser pointer at point-blank range isnt going to cause damage, so the likelihood your projector could do damage is slim to none.John Higgins / Digital TrendsAnmar writes with another OLED question: We bought an LG C1 TV a couple of years ago, which we are very happy with, and your reviews were very helpful in making that decision. Because of this positive experience, I am thinking of buying the upcoming LG G5 for my parents. However, both TVs will be close to each other, and that could mean one remote might accidentally signal both TVs. Is this possible, and should I consider buying another brand, such as Samsung or Sony, to avoid this issue? What surprised me when I researched this issue was the lack of a consistent and simple solution.You are correct to anticipate this potential problem I experience it here in the studio all the time. I had the TCL QM7K set up, and when I pressed the power button on the remote, the QM891G 115-incher lit the room up like it was the holidays.Many remotes pair to their televisions via Bluetooth, and some commands are executed only over Bluetooth. This includes LG OLEDs. However, most remotes still use infrared (IR) for basic functions the power button most notably. Some remotes enable many functions over infrared, with Bluetooth as a backup. That way, if you go out of line of sight, you can still control the basics of a TV even when the infrared signal cant reach the TVs infrared eye.The biggest problem most people will likely have in this situation is powering on the TV. You may want one TV to turn on, but not the other. I can also hope that if the TVs are fairly close together and running at the same time, you probably want the same programming on each.Regardless, heres the best solution I have: Shield the remotes infrared signal from the TV you do not want it to operate. Infrared signals are very basic and most manufacturers do not modulate them year to year. So, the power button on a remote for a C1 is likely to be the same IR code as the power button for a C4 or C5, even if the remote looks different and has different buttons.Is this a high-tech, clever, sexy, and convenient way to handle the problem? No, but it works. Theres no better solution Im aware of, and thats probably because folks dont often run into this problem.Is it worth getting a different TV brand just to avoid this issue? Ill leave that up to you. If you have two TVs from the same brand, youll need to shield the remotes signal from the set you arent watching. If you buy another TV brand, youll need to get used to using a different style remote with a different on-screen interface.Digital TrendsJan from Slovakia writes: I still love my old Panasonic GZ950 OLED from 2019, but this year I finally decided to upgrade. I am considering LG C4 or even C5. Will I see a significant upgrade in picture quality or do I have to aim for the flagship models? I am also worried about motion processing and color handling, since I hate the soap opera effect. Panasonic handles this perfectly, and also has a strange, special film-like feel that I like, which I struggle to see in other brands.This is a tough one. The LG C5 would be notably brighter than the Panasonic you have, as it is notably brighter than the LG C4. The LG C4 may be a bit brighter than your GZ950 I think your Panasonic was tested to produce up to 700 nits in a 10 percent window and about 165 nits full screen white. The LG C4 did about 800 nits in a 10 percent window and maybe slightly higher full screen.While the LG C4 did do 1,000 nits in smaller areas of the screen, the LG C5 can do 1,000 nits at a 10 percent window. I havent tested it yet, but I think it will do a higher brightness full-field white than the LG C4, too, meaning it would be brighter for SDR content. LG has said the C5 sees a bit of a brightness boost compared to prior years.Panasonics processing is indeed special, though. I like LGs processing very much: It has come a long way and can look very cinematic. However, the best processing is reserved for the G series.I want to ask: Why not consider another Panasonic OLED? Are they not available in your area? I think the Z85 would work well for you.Will there be a significant uptick in picture quality? That depends on your sensitivity. I would say that unless you are unhappy with your current TV, dont replace it yet. There will always be fun and fancy new TV tech available whenever the time is right for you to buy. Remember: Your OLED TV is awesome already. It can only get more awesome in small increments.LG G4 OLED Douglas Murray / Digital TrendsMarc OHara writes: I have just purchased an LG G4 OLED, upgrading from a LG C2 OLED. The picture quality is a night-and-day difference, but I am having difficulty finding the sweet spot for picture settings. I typically like a bright and cool type of picture and typically have used the Vivid preset on my C2 and other TVs in my home. The Vivid setting is the closest to what I like for the G4, but it almost seems like the brightness is too much and washes out the color accuracy and detail. A lot of people rave about Filmmaker Mode, but that setting is just much too dim for my liking. Any advice on which picture settings on Vivid mode to adjust to fix this issue or any other recommendations? Also should I be enabling settings such as AI picture pro?Some folks dont want accuracy, and they dont want accuracy at the expense of brightness, which is why many like the Vivid Mode. If people didnt like Vivid Mode, TV brands wouldnt put one in the TV. They would have a Store Mode preset and call it good.The reason it looks washed out is because it is washed out. The TV is maxing out that white subpixel in your G4 to the point that it is washing out the color to achieve white brightness. Also, the blue color channel in the RGB balance that produces white is juiced way up.Heres what you can do. Select Vivid, but back down the brightness setting a bit so it isnt so washed out. By backing down the brightness setting, youre not losing all the TVs advantages. You may find it easier on the eyes if you back down the blue channel in the 2-point white balance adjustment for the gain section. (Note: I normally dont tell people to adjust the white balance in their TVs without being able to measure the results.) Gain is at the high, powerful side and bias is at the low luminance side. When you back down the blue a bit, you wont meaningfully throw off the other colors because they are already about as off as they can be. Start with small adjustments and keep backing it down until you feel it is easier to watch. Start with the brightness setting first, though.Editors Recommendations

  • Microdosing weight-loss drugs is on the rise but does it work?
    www.newscientist.com
    HealthThere are many claims about the benefits of microdosing weight-loss drugs, from anti-inflammatory effects to extending longevity. Do any of them stack up? 26 March 2025 Getty Images; AlamyMadison Burgess decided to get serious about weight loss when the scale hit 91 kilograms (200 pounds). She began taking Ozempic. The medication worked better than she ever thought possible: even on the low starter dose, she lost more than 2 kg (5 lbs) within the first week.Problems began, however, when Burgess, a 25-year-old healthcare administrator from Bloomfield, Michigan, ramped up her intake, as per the manufacturers guidelines. The higher doses were rough on me, she says. The constipation, nausea, diarrhoea and acid reflux hit hard and made eating difficult. Thats when she decided to drop back down to a lower dose and determine whether she could continue seeing benefits.This article is part of a special series investigating the GLP-1 agonist boom. Read more here.Burgess is just one of a growing number of people who are microdosing a practice more typically associated with psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin by taking lower-than-standard amounts of weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro (see How they work, below).For some, the hope is to avoid side effects while losing weight, while others want to tap into the anti-inflammatory effect of these medications or reap their other benefits for the heart and the brain (see A wonder drug?, below). Microdosing the drugs has even been touted for extending longevity by ultra-wealthy elites like tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, and is rumoured to be the secret weapon of Hollywood stars wanting to look svelte for photo calls.The question is, does this off-label, low-dose experimentation work?

Billionaire Jeff Bezos' marriage to Lauren Snchez is set to take place in Venice this summer.The city's mayor is attempting to reassure locals ahead of the event.He said organizers were working to ensure it would be "respectful of the fragility and uniqueness of the city."As the city of Venice confirmed it is gearing up to host the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Snchez this summer, the local mayor attempted to reassure residents amid the ongoing battle with overtourism.In a statement on Saturday, the city of Venice said the billionaire and his bride-to-be's upcoming nuptials would not cause disruption to residents or visitors and that the priority would be to make sure the city long a tourist hotspot "functions as normal."The statement said that 200 guests are due to attend the Venetian ceremony, but it stressed that the city was accustomed to handling large international events.It also denied reports that large numbers of gondolas or "excessive" numbers of water taxis had been booked for the occasion."The many speculations and fake news circulating about Jeff Bezos' wedding are completely unfounded," the statement continued.Luigi Brugnaro, Venice's mayor, added: "We are mutually working and supporting the organizers, to ensure that the event will be absolutely respectful of the fragility and uniqueness of the city. For this reason, we will work together for best result. Whoever loves Venice will always be welcome." Bezos and Snchez.
