This Windmill Smart Air Conditioner Is My Home Upgrade of the Week

We may earn a commission from links on this page. As temperatures keep climbing here in New York City, I've been thinking a lot about what's made my apartment actually livable through the last couple of summers. The Windmill Window Air Conditioner isn't a new upgrade for me; I've been using it for about a year and a half after scoring one for free from a friend. But with the heat recently roaring back to full strength, it feels like the perfect moment to shout about it. Here’s why this is the best air conditioner I've ever used. What really makes this AC a tech upgrade is how the companion app lets you control the unit from your phone. Before I had the Windmill, I'd come home to a sweltering apartment, crank the AC, and wait in front of it. Now, I can open the app on ...

Ramandeep Yadav says missing Black Warrant led him to Rajjo

Destiny works in mysterious ways. Just ask actor Ramandeep Yadav, who is earning praise for playing Rajjo in Prime Video’s Raakh, a character inspired by notorious criminal Ranga of the infamous Ranga-Billa case. Ironically, the actor says the role came to him after another opportunity slipped away. Yadav had auditioned for the same character in Vikramaditya Motwane’s Black Warrant (2025), but he now believes missing out on it was for the best. “Some projects don’t happen and you should be thankful for that. Maybe I was meant to meet Rajjo. I trust that whatever is meant for me will come to me,” says the actor. Although Rajjo draws inspiration from Kuljeet Singh, alias Ranga, Yadav deliberately avoided digging too deeply into the criminal’s past. “The moment you start researching too much,...

Shows Like ‘The Office’ You Should Watch Next

We may earn a commission from links on this page. The Office inherited some of the finer tropes of the workplace comedy (mostly involving tossing together a group of weirdos overly invested in their jobs) while also launching a million mockumentary-style shows. Running for nine seasons, it was one of the most popular shows of its era—and still is, on streaming, despite one of its stars claiming it could "never be made today" (sighs exhaustedly while pointing to the ongoing spin-off). Here are some other great workplace sitcoms to watch if you've exhausted the entire Office catalog. Abbott Elementary (2021 – ) Quickly establishing itself as one of the great workplace mockumentaries, Quinta Brunson's Abbott Elementary portrays its cast of (mostly) well-meaning charact...

Credit: Courtesy of Netflix You is the ultimate antihero confection—Joe Goldberg is a reprehensible, horrifying entity who deserves every punishment he gets, but it sure was fun watching him fixate on his various victims and pile up the body count.

Experts stress that simple lifestyle changes and timely medical attention can improve quality of lif...
