Do the Apple Watch Series 12’s New Health Features Live Up to the Hype?

We may earn a commission from links on this page. I now have the Apple Watch Series 12 in my hands—or, rather, on my wrist—and have spent the past 24 hours putting it through as many tests as I can manage. I'm pleased with the step counting and the availability of "recovery HRV" (as opposed to the cardiac-health-focused HRV that the Apple Watch previously used) but I'm not sure if the heart rate accuracy is living up to the hype. I'll be putting this device to more rigorous tests, but here are my first thoughts. ...

The fevered quest for a song (that might be) called “CIA” – National

There’s an entire corner of the internet where song sleuths spend hours trying to identify songs of unknown origin. Among these quests was the track dubbed “The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet,” which, after years of fruitless searching, was identified as Subways of Your Mind by a German band called Fex.

In the digital age with lyric searches, Shazam, and other online tools, how was it possible for a song to be truly unknown, especially if so many people were looking for it? Once the chase was on, a lot of prestige rode on whoever won.For their part, Fex had no idea that their 80s track had become the Holy Grail of “lostwave,” those orphane...

The Best Gifts to Give an E-Book Reader in 2026

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Unless you're shopping from a wishlist, buying a book for a big reader is always a fraught prospect. Have they read it? Will they like it? Will they be offended at the mere suggestion that you think it's the kind of book they might like? Will you be crushed when you give them a copy of your favorite book and they never get around to reading it? Buying a gift for someone who prefers to read e-books—whether on a Kindle or one of the many excellent non-Kindle alternatives—can be much less emotionally charged: Instead of risking everything by giving them a book, just get them a cute e-reader accessory (if not a new e-reader) that they will thank you for every time they dive into a good read. A truly pocketable travel e-rea...

Gautam Gulati in Rise and Fall 2 In his reveal video, Gautam makes it clear that a ruler may fall, but ruling never leaves you, reflecting on how every fall has only made getting back up more familiar.
