  • Use This Trick to Easily Remove Hair From Your Vacuum (or Anything Else)
    lifehacker.com
    I love a simple, classic hack that eliminates an annoying problem without costing a lot of money or time. These are usually pretty straightforward and almost obvious to the point of asking yourself, "Why didn't I think of that sooner?" Well, you didn't. And that's why you're here: To learn how to easily get hair out of your vacuum's roller brush. I'm going to get right to the point. You need a seam ripper, like this: Riveda Seam Ripper 2 Pack $4.99 at Amazon Shop Now Shop Now $4.99 at Amazon Now, here's why: When you yank on the hair and try to pull it off on your own, you can damage the bristles of the brush with your force. When you try to cut the hair with scissors, you risk snipping the bristles, too. Scissors are just too big and unwieldy to stick into such a delicate mess and you don't have the time or patienceor at least, I know I don'tto slowly and gently remove the hair manually, bit by bit. Just stick the seam ripper into the hair and move it horizontally across the brush to cut a path through hair, lint, and other tangly messes. Then, you can peel it all off in one big sheet without ever damaging the brush itself. You put the hair in the trash and carry on with your cleaning. Other similar uses for the seam ripper Once you have your seam ripper, you can use it in a variety of similar scenarios. I personally hate yanking hair and dirt off the bristles of my broom, for instance, but it's necessary for the broom to function at its best. Before and between instances of deep-cleaning your broom, use the seam ripper, starting at the top, where the bristles connect to the head, and move straight down to the end to cut up some of that hair and dirt without risking the integrity of the bristles.This is also handy if you use rollers or a round brush to do your hair. I use the round brush to dry my hair, then stick it up in velcro rollers, so I know all too well how quickly those tools get full of the hair they rip out while doing their jobs. What I'm not going to do is put a scissor anywhere near my expensive Dyson AirWrap brush attachment. The seam ripper, if used gently from one side of the barrel to the other, is much safer. The same goes for the rollers and any hairbrush. Why risk yanking on and damaging the bristles when you could just slice the hair wad right open and peel it off?

  • Summit is an incredible precision platformer for Playdate thatll hit you right in the feels
    www.engadget.com
    I was not expecting to cry while playing Summit, a $6 mountain climbing platformer for Playdate thats impossible not to compare to Celeste. Scream in frustration? Yes. Storm away from the game only to come crawling back minutes later? Definitely. Get all up in my feels, though? Not so much. Yet an hour and 34 minutes and 432 deaths later, here we are. This is now the second Playdate game that's made me cry.In Summit, youre a cloaked climber trying to reach the top of a mountain under the guidance of an unseen narrator who refers to you as little brother. You have ice axes to help you scale the vertical surfaces, and other equipment will show up later to assist you in trickier situations. Completing the 70-ish levels requires absolute precision, and it is at times very, very frustrating. There are rows of sharp spikes sticking out everywhere, and some falling from higher perches. The icy ground in spots is slick enough to send you flying. Strong winds will make it seem as though its impossible to push forward.But its not impossible, of course, and in some cases you can even use the environmental conditions to your advantage. When you do finally make it through a particularly tough level, its all the more gratifying. Theres more to Summit than well-timed jumps it uses the d-pad, buttons and the crank, and will have you coordinating different actions to cross huge gaps and avoid obstacles. At one point, you even get to ride a crow.Pixelated OpusThe music throughout is beautiful and has a reflective mood to it, which sets you up perfectly for when the game takes an unexpected emotional turn at the end. As you approach the summit, the backstory thats been hinted at in bits and pieces finally reveals itself, and its a tear-jerker. I got misty-eyed, and not because I was so relieved to have finally made it to the top. (Im not the only one, either, as I found while searching Reddit to see how other people fared.)Summit will test your determination as you die over and over again trying to progress, but its never a slog. If you liked the extreme platforming and sentimental tone of Celeste, this is definitely one to check out.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/summit-is-an-incredible-precision-platformer-for-playdate-thatll-hit-you-right-in-the-feels-230018502.html?src=rss

  • Paris landmarks get Olympic makeover with colorful street art
    www.fastcompany.com
    Paris is getting a colorful splash of Olympic creative spirit with nearly 30 vibrant street art pieces that have popped up on bustling metro station walls, a large billboard at the airport, and in front of city hall.One shows a drawing of French fencer Ysaora Thibus in action. Another has canoers paddling down the Seine River. Some others include people enjoying themselves in a busy district. The original art was spread throughout Paris and other nearby host cities around the Olympic and Paralympic sites.During this time of the Olympics, its a lot of energy and people coming from all over the world, said New York native JonOne, who has lived in Paris for the past three decades and is viewed in the street art world as a graffiti pioneer. Hes one of six renowned street artists from four continents whose work is currently on display at train stations, airports, taxis, digital screens, and billboards.The artists were selected through a campaign spearheaded by Visa to help support small businesses. They hail from France (Marko93 and Olivia De Bona), Brazil (Alex Senna), Australia (Vexta), and the United States (Swoon).Why not use street art? said JonOne, 60, whose artwork can be found in several places in Paris, including the Palais RoyalMuse du Louvre station. It took two months with five collaborators to finish the blue, white, and red abstract expressionist-style graffiti, which covers 300 square yards of the wall at the busy station.It projects a lot of energies and youth culture, he said. Its a good moment to show our artwork.Street artist JonOne poses in front of his artwork at the Palais-Royal station, during the 2024 Paris Olympics. [Photo: AP]The campaign was designed as an open-air exhibition curated by Nicolas Laugero Lasserre, an expert in urban art. The 28 pieces of original artwork will remain on display until September 8.Just like high-level athletes, artists share values of tolerance, open-mindedness, questioning and self-surpassing, said Lasserre, who has organized more than 50 exhibitions with public and private institutions, including an exhibition at the Paris City Hall. Associating art and sport is one of the cornerstones of Olympism.Each creation highlights the spirit of the neighborhoodssuch as Saint-Denis, Montmartre, and Rue Montorgueilcapturing the vibrancy of cafs, bookstores and shops that have become an essential fabric of Paris and the wider Ile-de-France region. They can also be found at the airports of Lille, Lyon and Marseille, hosts of some Olympic events.We asked the artists to show us their version of Paris in the most authentic way, said Juan Arturo Herrera, a business administrator and marketing executive at Visa International. Last month, he carried the Olympic flame over a 200-meter course in eastern France.Street art is the most accessible of arts, he said. Its universal. Weve seen it for decades now in cities. It has made its way through museums and we wanted to bring it back out. We see this as the biggest exhibition of open-air art in the public space.De Bona, a Parisian, feels proud to bring her artwork to her hometown, family, and visitors from around the world.It was so moving, she said. I see how the art makes my city so beautiful. Its a privilege to represent France for all these people who are coming to Paris from all over the world.De Bona, 39, remembered when street art and graffiti were not widely accepted by the masses. But now shes witnessed a positive shift in the perception and within the industry, which was once male-dominated.People need pictures in the streets, she said. It needs to be welcoming the arts. We are the bridge between people who dont think it fits in the museum. We bring art to the people. This is our way to express ourselves and exist.Marko93 said his passion for street art kept him pushing through the words of skeptics. At a young age, he was intrigued by watching the evolution of graffiti during the 1980s hip-hop era in New York, which he called the promised land of graffiti.Its all about perseverance, said the 51-year-old during his live performance, painting a fencer along the Seine. Art is also about perseverance. This passion pushes us to move forward and beyond our limits.One day, JonOne would like to see arts reintroduced as competition at the Olympics.Art competitions first came into fruition at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, with medals awarded in five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture. The International Olympic Committee ended the competitions in the 1948 Games, and an attempt to bring it back was denied four years later.Artists are like athletes, too, JonOne said. I respect athletes in basketball and runners. Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics. Just surviving as an artist is an Olympic sport.By Jonathan Landrum Jr., Associated Press entertainment writer
