LIFEHACKER.COMWhat's New on Hulu in January 2025The lineup of Hulu originals in January is on the lighter side, the biggest title of which is Paradise (Jan. 28), a new drama series from This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman. Sterling K. Brown plays the head of security for the U.S. president (James Marsden), who is murdered early in the show, and Brown's character's role is in question. Hulu subscribers can also catch the season premieres of numerous ABC franchises in January, including season three of Celebrity Jeopardy! (Jan. 9) with host Ken Jennings, season 29 of The Bachelor (Jan. 28) featuring former The Bachelorette season 21 contestant Grant Ellis, and a new iteration of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (Jan. 3). There are also new seasons of crime drama The Rookie (Jan. 8) starring Nathan Fillion, and police procedural Will Trent (Jan. 8), based on the Karin Slaughter novels. Finally, end the month with the debut of docuseries Scamanda (Jan. 31), which is based on the titular podcast about a California woman who faked having cancer for seven years and solicited more than $100,000 in donations. Heres everything else coming to (and leaving) Hulu in January, including a new stand-up special from comedian Roy Wood Jr. (Lonely Flowers, Jan. 17).Whats coming to Hulu in January 2025Arriving January 1Dick Clark's Primetime New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2025: Special PremiereKids Diana Show: Let's Celebrate Together: Complete Season 1Papa Jake: Epic Box Forts: Complete Season 1After Earth (2013)American Psycho (2000)The Devil's Own (1997)The Devil's Own En Espaol (1997)Dirty Grandpa (2016)Empire Records (1995)Ender's Game (2013)The Great Debaters (2007)Heat (1995)Insidious (2011)Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013)Insidious: Chapter 2 En Espaol (2013)Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)Insidious: Chapter 3 En Espaol (2015)The Intouchables (2011)John Wick (2014)John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)The King Of Comedy (1983)Little Manhattan (2005)Man of the House (2005)Man Of The House En Espaol (1995)Mr. Deeds (2002)Pacific Rim (2013)Paddington (2014)Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015)Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 En Espaol (2015)Paul Blart: Mall Cop En Espaol (2009)Shutter (2008)Sorry To Bother You (2018)The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada (2005)The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada En Espaol (2005)Threesome (1994)The Town (2010)To Rome With Love (2012)The Walk (2015)xXx (2002)xXx En Espaol (2002)xXx: State of the Union (2005)xXx: State of the Union En Espaol (2005)Arriving January 22024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony: Special PremiereAmerican Pickers: Complete Season 25Beyond the Headlines: The Tanya Kach Story with Elizabeth Smart: Complete Season 1The Butcher: Complete Season 1Dark Side of the 90s: Complete Season 3My City's Just Not That Into Me: Complete Season 1The Unbelievable with Dan Aykroyd: Complete Season 1Arriving January 3Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: Series PremiereAnimal Control: Season 3 PremiereGoing Dutch: Series PremiereMother's Instinct (2024)Arriving January 7Dead Pixels: Complete Seasons 1-2Stopmotion (2023)Arriving January 8The Rookie: Season 7 PremiereWill Trent: Season 3 PremiereDoc: Series PremiereIshura: Season 2 PremiereFall (2022)65 (2023)Arriving January 9Celebrity Jeopardy!: Season 3 PremiereShifting Gears: Season 1 PremiereBiography: Alice Cooper: Complete Season 1Biography: Chris Farley -

LIFEHACKER.COMThe Bird Buddy Is the Best Smart Bird Feeder I Have TestedWe may earn a commission from links on this page.I picked up the habit of bird-watching early in the pandemic, socially distancing on a patio, watching the bird feeders my friend had installed at his home. I added my own and quickly became one of those people who would stare out the window and invest too much money in sunflower seeds. But then I started seeing Instagram posts from my friends smart bird feeder and realized this was the perfect marriage of technology and nature. There are tons of smart bird feeders on the market now, and I've tested a bunch of them. If you're looking to buy one for yourself (or as a gift), here are some considerations to make.How to choose what kind of bird feeder to getNon-smart bird feeders come in all different forms to support different bird food and birds speciessome are meant for seed, some for suet, and some for sugar water. Smart bird feeders only exist in two forms (so far): seeds and sugar water for song birds and hummingbirds, respectively. Hummingbirds are incredibly delicate and need their water changed out every few days in winter and every single day in summer. Also, you have to make the sugar water. Its not hard, but it is an added chore (and you should not buy the red hummingbird premade food, according to experts). Bird seed, in contrast, needs only be changed and cleaned every week or so, (unless you see sick birds at your feeder, in which case you should remove the feeders immediately for a period of time and sterilize everything).Songbirds are year round, but hummingbirds have a season. Many hummingbirds migrate in winter, so you might experience less sightings than you would with songbirds. Obviously, there are more varieties of songbirds, so you may get to see a lot more kinds of birds with a songbird feeder. Still, there is simply nothing as delightful as video of hummingbirds at your feeder, so all arguments aside, I still recommend it.Are Bird Buddys worth it?I have two Bird Buddy feeders: the original songbird feeder and the new hummingbird feeder. Ive had the original for a year or so, and I wont say its been seamless. First and foremost, despite having a solar panel on the bird house, the camera is constantly running out of battery. This is annoying since it means the camera goes offline and you have to take the feeder down, and turn it back on once it has enough charge again. I have a lot of smart cameras around the yard, and none of them have this issue with solar panels powering them. The hummingbird feeder, despite a much smaller solar panel, does not seem to have the same issues as the original feeder, but I eventually purchased an additional third party solar panel for my original Bird Buddy.I have also found Bird Buddy support to be responsive, but not terribly customer forward. In cases where the solution was obvious (the camera is dead), it took a number of exchanges of information and video for customer support to agree to a replacement.As a last hit, it is often hard to pair the Bird Buddy cameras to your wifi, as was the case of each of my Bird Buddy houses. Bird Buddy Smart Hummingbird Feeder $239.99 at Best Buy $299.99 Save $60.00 Shop Now Shop Now $239.99 at Best Buy $299.99 Save $60.00 Bird Buddy Smart Bird Feeder $259.00 at Amazon $299.00 Save $40.00 Shop Now Shop Now $259.00 at Amazon $299.00 Save $40.00 SEE -1 MORE Bird Buddy is still the best smart bird feederSo it might seem odd to still suggest the Bird Buddy, but it has one feature far above any competitor: the app. The Bird Buddy app is downright addictive. Youre notified you have a visitor to your bird feeder with an adorable chirp, and if you click through fast enough, youll get a live view of the camera with crisp, clear color. Even if you miss it, your camera collects postcards in photo and video form that are easy to download for sharing on social platforms. Then, at the end of the day, you get a roundup of all activity at the feeder that is pretty delightful.Even better, the app will take a crack at identifying the birds for you, though not always accurately. This is a big deal because once you start bird watching, you immediately start to want to know more about the birds themselves so you can sound appropriately haughty to others when you brag about the nuthatches and sparrows visiting your yard. Finally, while Bird Buddy offers subscriptions, you don't need one to enjoy the feeder. While the subscription lets you check in on other, more interesting feeders around the world and lets you name your favorite returning birds, plus adds some cloud storage, you can get all the important functionality of the feeder without the subscription. The reality is that if you can get past the connection and charging issues, once the BirdBuddy is in place it is, without a doubt, the best experience for actually watching birds. Every day, my Bird Buddy hummingbird feeder sends me video of the same two hummingbirds, and every single day, I am riveted.Despite promise, other bird feeders dont come throughGiven my frustration with my Bird Buddy's, I was eager to find other brands that would serve me better. To that end I tried both the Vicohome Hummingbird feeder, and the Hello Birdy Smart Birdbath and feeder. In favor for both of these feeders? They connected instantly with no issues whatsoever. In the case of the Vicohome, you barely need to do more than remove it from the box and it is ready to go. In fact, before it even made it outside, it was serving consistent notifications of activity nearby, which should have been a red flag.Once outside, the Vicohome notified me so often of activity that I quickly turned off the notifications. Not once was the alert for a bird, but more often a nearby car or person walking along. I tried changing the direction of the birdhouse, but the slightest wind resulted in a notification of activity. It takes birds a while to find a new birdhouse, so eventually those notifications would have led to a bird sighting, but Ill never know because those notifications also drain the battery. After recharging twice just to lose all charge after a day or two, I gave up on the Vicohome.The Hello Birdy birdbath is a great concept a plastic birdbath with a space for hummingbird food and fresh fruit, which birds like orioles enjoy. I know that birds already love my yard for bird baths; I have a few, and a number of hummingbirds are territorial of my yard.While the Hello Birdy camera was easy to connect, it required the most assembly. It is the only camera that comes with its own stand, but that stand is only three feet off the ground, which I find far too susceptible for squirrels, and not very interesting for hummingbirds. If it were merely a bird bath, that height would be fine, but I decided to give it a try with all the optional food sources and see what happened.The upside was I wasnt assaulted with notifications. To the contrary, there were zero notifications. Despite seeing birds in the bath a few times and the orange I placed in the feeder being gone, there were no recordings or clips of activity at the feeder.There are other brands of feeders, including Birdfy, which Im excited to try. But for now, the two Bird Buddy feeders remain in my yard, while the other feeders have been sunset. The Bird Buddy, despite all its fussiness, is still the closest youll get to bird-watching nirvana.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 19 Vue

LIFEHACKER.COMFive Ways to Make Your Houseguests More Comfortable (and Reduce Your Own Stress)We may earn a commission from links on this page.Hosting for the holidays is hard work, and even with the best of intentions of making your guests as comfortable as possible, the experience can be stressful. A helpful mindset for minimizing that stressand maximizing your guests' experienceis include amenities you appreciate (or wish vacation rentals provided) that will also allow your guests to be both comfortable and self-sufficient during their stay. Provide options for temperature controlYou probably don't want guests with varying indoor temperature preferences adjusting your thermostat or suffering in silence because they are too hot or too cold in your homeespecially at night. Get ahead of this by stocking bedrooms with fans and/or space heaters, as well as extra blankets so guests can be comfortable while sleeping. While you're at it, make sure you have enough pillows to go around without spreading everyone's supply too thin. Jollyvogue Bed Pillows for Sleeping $20.99 at Amazon $39.99 Save $19.00 Shop Now Shop Now $20.99 at Amazon $39.99 Save $19.00 Stock bathrooms like a fancy hotelWhile some guests may travel with every toiletry they could possibly use, others will appreciate having a few items on hand like they might find in a nice hotel: shampoo, conditioner, soap/body wash, lotion, and tissues are obvious choices. But you can go even further to include toothpaste, floss, toothbrushes, and basic first aid (bandages, pain relievers, lip balm, etc.). Other extras like a hairdryer, cotton balls, Q-tips, makeup towels, and menstrual hygiene products are also nice touches. Finally, stack enough and toilet paper and clean towels in bathrooms ahead of time to keep guests from having to ask or borrow these items later onand make sure guest bedrooms have extra hooks on the backs of their doors so everyone has a place to hang their damp towel to dry.Place extra chargers around the houseAgain, some guests will come fully equipped with the cords and chargers for all of their devices, but it's a nice touch to have extras plugged in where they are needed most, like below bedside tables and in high-traffic common areas. Obviously, you may not have every type of cable available, but USB-C is a good betLightning and Micro USB are good to have around, too. You should also consider clearing outlets of unneeded cords to open space for guest chargers. 6-Foot USB-C Charger (2 pack) $7.98 at Amazon $9.98 Save $2.00 Shop Now Shop Now $7.98 at Amazon $9.98 Save $2.00 Add night lightsYou can likely make your way through your own house in the dark like a ninja; so unless you've got small children, you might not realize how valuable a couple of nightlights can be for guests who aren't used to navigating your hallways at night. Add night lights particularly to hallways and bathrooms so no one has to feel around in the dark. You might even include one in each guest bedroom so guests can choose a spot for one that is most helpful for them. You can get packs of plug-in motion sensor lights on Amazon for as little as $5 per light. L LOHAS LED Motion Sensor Night Light, 2Pack, Motion Activated Night Light, Night Lights Plug into Wall Motion Sensor, 3000K Warm White, Adjustable Brightness 30/60LM, for Kids Adults Bathroom Bedroom $12.99 at Amazon $15.99 Save $3.00 Shop Now Shop Now $12.99 at Amazon $15.99 Save $3.00 Collect snack and breakfast requests ahead of timeA thoughtful way to prepare for your guests is to have a few food items they like on hand when they arrive so they can snack freely and without feeling guilty about raiding the fridge or pantry. Plan to get a couple of cereal, oatmeal, or other breakfast staples they like to eat, as well, so they can help themselves to a quick and easy breakfast whenever they are up and ready to start the day.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 19 Vue

WWW.YANKODESIGN.COMCute emotional support robot concept is made for tech-savvy and active seniorsOne of the biggest use case proposals for home robots, at least next to cleaning floors, is the care of older members of the family. Whether its reminding them of their medication or delivering the newspaper to their side, these rolling robots are imagined to give much-needed assistance to less ambulant members of the household. But while thats definitely a necessity, it makes the generalization that older people at home are all stuck to their seats most of the day.Many senior citizens, especially those who are just starting their retirement stage, dont have such needs yet. Theyre still able to move on their own and even prefer a bit of independence while they can still physically enjoy it. More often than not, what they do need is some form of companionship, not necessarily from people, and this robot pet concept tries to deliver that kind of emotional support that impersonal delivery robots might not be able to.Designers: Seo hyun Mok, Jeongseok HwangOf course, those robots for seniors being advertised by some companies try to have a friendly face that can theoretically appeal to these people, but the emotional connection ends there. Its the same as having a courier simply delivering your items with a smile. For older people who can simply walk over to the counter on their own, it doesnt add much value to their lives.Careby is more like an emotional support pet than a personal caregiver, designed to offer the kind of companionship older people now seek from flesh and blood animals. Without the hassle of feeding and cleaning, of course. It looks like a cross between a cat and some quadruped critter, except it has wheels for feet instead. And, of course, its supposed to be AI-driven so that it can intelligently respond to voice prompts or react to your facial expressions.Whats a little interesting is that Careby is not supposed to be an obedient robot by design. It will sometimes refuse to obey commands or display a stubborn streak, mimicking the behavior of real-life pets or even children. To some extent, it tries to create a more spontaneous and believable relationship, though its walking on a slipper slope as older people tend to be less patient as years go by.Truth be told, Careby might look like any other home robot toy thats growing in number in the smart home market today, though it might be one of the first to target a very specific niche audience. Most of these will be powered by AI, so its not exactly a unique feature, but it does bring to mind the diverse needs of people at home, especially older members who are still able to take care of themselves but need more than just physical care.The post Cute emotional support robot concept is made for tech-savvy and active seniors first appeared on Yanko Design.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 6 Vue

WWW.YANKODESIGN.COMYay statement chair from Gumpo gives a unique but comfortable backrestAs long as a chair is something I can sit on and Im pretty comfortable, Id take any kind of chair. But of course there are designs and concepts of chairs that bring a different dimension to a functional piece of furniture. Some of those well-designed chairs though can be quite uncomfortable, particularly the backrest.Designers: Gerhardt Kellerman and Ana RelvaoYay is a chair thats part of Gumpos office furniture line that has a pretty unconventional backrest but one that seems to be a comfortable one despite its shape. Its a compact upholstered statement chair with its seat, backseat, and legs, all covered in fabric, presenting a soft, textile unit in one seemingly continuous shape.The backrest is intelligently padded so despite its stick like shape, it is surprisingly comfortable as it molds to your back because of the texture. It is also a proportioned compact chair that can fit into any seating environment, whether its at a table, as a stand-alone chair, a working chair, or wherever you need a comfortable seat.Despite its minimalist look and its muted color, the Yay chair is pretty eye-catching and is marketed as a statement chair. It goes well with Gumpos other chair, the Ohh with the more traditional backrest and the two are meant to compliment each other and the other furniture of the brand.The post Yay statement chair from Gumpo gives a unique but comfortable backrest first appeared on Yanko Design.0 Commentaires 0 Parts 7 Vue
