It's getting near Halloween, the perfect time to stream some horror movies. I dug up 15 of the scariest, weirdest, freakiest, and funniest flicks from horror-only streaming service Shudder. I'm leaving off the obvious choices like Psycho and Halloween—if you subscribe to Shudder, you've probably seen all the "classics" at least twice—to focus on movies guaranteed to make you hide your eyes, laugh out loud, or say "what even is this?" A Dark Song (2016) If you like intelligent, slow-burn horror, check out A Dark Song. Like its characters, the debut feature from director Liam Gavin goes places few films dare to tread.

Apple now sells some powerful iPads, with the same components you'd find in a Mac. But while all of Apple's iPads are excellent in their own right, when it comes down to it, most of us don't need the extra power, hardware, or features that come with these more expensive tablets. In fact, most of us would probably be perfectly suited to Apple's entry iPad—appropriate called, iPa...

Amazon Big Deal Days is October 7-8, and Lifehacker is sharing the best bargains, based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools.On August 23, I bought an Amazon Fire TV 50" Omni QLED Series 4K television for $379.99. It seemed like an OK deal—the list price is $469.99, and it's a good television with a 4K display, adaptive brightness, and an Alexa-enabled remote control. But today, that same model of TV I bought is selling for $359.99, even less than what I paid in August. Am I angry? Not really. My old TV broke, so I had to get a new one. The price difference is only $20, so it's not the end of the world; plus, thi...

Take these steps for better search results, including adding Lifehacker as a preferred source for tech news.Attention, PC users: The end of Windows 10 support is just one week away. Microsoft is cutting off most support for the older operating system on Oct. 14, 2025, pushing users toward Windows 11. That said, the company is giving users who can't (or don't want to) let go of Windows 10 more options to receive security updates for an additional year. One of the risks of not upgrading to Windows 11 by the deadline is that your device won't be protected against viruses and hackers—unless you take advantage of one of the free or paid options to enroll in Extended Security Updates (ESU). (Note that Microsoft has also extended suppor...

Some "smart glasses," like Chamelo’s Music Shield, are stylish accessories with built-in speakers; others, like the XReal One Pro, are cutting-edge display glasses packed with tech. So lining them up side by side is like kiwis-to-tangelos.But there is one thing that almost every pair of smart glasses shares: they play sounds. So I decided to focus on just that—how these glasses actually sound—using every pair I own, from $650 XReal...

That should make it possible to send emails that only you, the recipient, and the IT department that manages your account can access. E2EE is essential for anyone who wants to ensure that their commun...
