If you’ve been wearing a Whoop, you’ve probably explored some of the features of its incredibly rich app—but chances are, some things are still hiding from you. I’ve been wearing a Whoop off and on since version 3.0, so let me tell you some of the best ways to use the Whoop (and a few things I think you should do differently than you’re “supposed” to).  Use the Whoop's strength trainer after (not during) workoutsI’m going to start off with my strongest opinion, and you’re free to disagree: Whoop’s strength trainer is a pain the butt to use during workouts, but you get all the benefits with less hassle if you use it to attach a workout after you finish recording your gym session. The Strength Trainer knows what exercise...

In the early '90s, Bram Stoker's Dracula earned prizes for its costumes and makeup, and the 2000 meta horror comedy Shadow of the Vampire scored a couple of nominations, but that's about it—despite the influence of the genre stretching all the way back to 1922's Nosferatu. Until now.Sinners, writer/director Ryan Coogler's critical and box office powerhouse, is an unashamedly high-minded genre flick. Set largely in 1932, it follows twin brothers (both played by Michael B. Jordan) returning to their backwater hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi to establish a juke joint while navigating old relationships and dealing with the Klan leader who owns the sawmill they are look...

On Wednesday, Apple unveiled its long-rumored "low-cost" laptop, the MacBook Neo. To get to its attractive price point, the machine cuts some corners—it runs an iPhone chip, rather than a Mac chip; it only has 8GB of RAM; the keyboard lacks a backlight; the base model doesn't come with Touch ID. But none of that really matters when Apple is offering you a brand-new MacBook for just $599—or $499 if you buy through the Education Store. (Given the company doesn't actually require proof that you're a student or teacher to shop the Education Store, the Neo, is, effectively, a $500 MacBook. Wild.)If I were any other computer company, I'd be nervous right now. Apple is, of course, a giant player in the computing space already, but it isn't the largest. In fact, it's really in fourth, behind Dell ...

It's time for another Apple event! On Wednesday, March 4, Apple will announce new products, and despite the company's commitment to secrecy, we know what most of the revelations are already. In fact, Apple has already announced a number of new products this week in lead up to the event, including the iPhone 17e, M4 iPad Air, and new Macs—including M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max variants. But even though the company has already shared a bunch of news across Monday and Tuesday, that doesn't mean Wednesday's event is going to be a bore. In fact, Apple may announce one of its most interesting products in years during its March 4 keynote: the MacBook "Neo." This is a "budget" MacBook, smaller in size than the 13-inch MacBook Air, that may come in a variety of fun colors. Imagine the iPods of old, but n...
