This scenario should be familiar: Your MacBook charger snaps, breaks, frays, or just stops working. Apple wants $80 for a replacement, but you found a knockoff charger on Amazon for a lot less. What do you do?

Happy weekend, and welcome back to 3-Ingredient Happy Hour, the weekly drink column featuring super simple yet delicious libations. This week we’re making a drink that, to me, fully embodies the easy-breezy spirit of this column: the caipirinha.

Gorillas, the largest primates in the world, can stand up to six feet tall and weigh upwards of 400 pounds. They’re normally very peaceful animals—more Koko and less King Kong—but a dominant silverback male has the strength of several men, and isn’t afraid to use it to defend his troop.

Before we begin, Windows users, let’s start the affirmation: We use Windows. We all agree that iTunes has a terrible design. We will throw a party if Apple ever modernizes its app, but we hate that iTunes is the best possible option for synchronizing content with our iPhones and iPads. 

Remember when we all got a little creeped out that genetic testing companies can be forced to turn over your data to law enforcement? Ah, those were simpler times. Police found the man suspected of being the Golden State Killer this week thanks in part to a relative’s sample in a publicly available DNA database. The…

Fortunately, you have Lifehacker to provide you with the essential facts you need to hold your own in any Handmaid-related chitchat. Let’s skim some dystopia!

If you spend a lot of time with a laptop in your lap, you’ve probably worried about the health risks at least once—especially if you can sense that your laptop is running a bit warm near your tender regions.

When we last rounded up our staff’s Weekly Upgrades, our editors were getting rid of our Facebook news feeds, dabbling in clothing rental, giving up on bad books, and spring cleaning our financial lives.

Hello, and welcome back to Will It Casserole?, the column where I take your delicious concepts and re-imagine them as casserole creations. Today we are casseroling an iconic sandwich: the cheesesteak.

If you’re staying at a hotel in a busy city center, light pollution can be a serious issue. Even the tiniest crack in your curtains could illuminate your room well beyond comfortable sleeping levels. So: head to your closet.

I have a bad to-do habit. I make big ambitious lists of things I want to do, then let them pile up in my to-do app until I’m so scared that I quit the app and start a new one. (I, like several Lifehacker commenters, don’t know how I got a job at a productivity site.) But I’ve found a way out of my to-do debt.

We all dream of the day when we can leave a boring corporate job or unfulfilling career behind for good, take our retirement savings and spend more time with our family or take that trip we’ve been planning for our entire lives. And while you’ll have a million considerations at this time in your life about what to do…

Bill Nye, the ‘90s television icon, the teacher who helped kid-me understand topics like buoyancy and momentum, the man whose mission it is to help make science more accessible to the masses, is back.

Opening up your house to a bunch of hungry friends can be quite fun, but you can quickly rack up some pricey party expenses if you’re not careful. But there are a lot of ways to serve fancy food without draining your bank account, and we’re going to show you how. This week, we’re focusing on fromage fort, a cheesy…

If you’re one of the seven people in the country who does not have Amazon Prime yet, you may want to act fast—the cost of the yearly service is increasing by $20, to $119 per year.

That’s right. The “Spring Creators” update is no more; Microsoft is now calling its upcoming mega-update to Windows the “Windows 10 April 2018 Update,” and the company is barely locking this name in by releasing the update on Monday, April 30—the last day of the month.

There might be reasons why you want to keep your Tumblr account but delete all your posts. Perhaps you land-grabbed an awesome Tumblr username or URL and you don’t want to give it up, but you’d rather people not know about how into anime GIFs you’ve been over the past few years, your dark obsession with Henry Cavill,…
