Back to school season is here. These are the gadgets that make the chaos a little bit easier to manage. Shoes with Built-In Tracker These shoes literally keep track of your kids. There's a hidden compartment under the insole designed to fit an AirTag. It can only be opened with a screwdriver... so you can rest assured it will stay put. Perfect for back to school and much more secure than a backpack that can get lost or left behind. Now you'll know where your kid is at all times.

Did you know your iPhone can lock and hide apps without downloading a single thing? It's already built in, you just have to know where to look. Here's how to actually do it. Step 1: Lock an App with Face ID Find the app you want to lock on your home screen. Press and hold it until the menu pops up, then tap "Require Face ID." That's it — now anyone trying to open that app needs your face (or your passcode) to get in.

If you've been wanting to try Claude but switching from ChatGPT feels like starting a new relationship from zero, I get it. ChatGPT already knows your job, your writing style, all your weirdly specific preferences. Claude is just sitting there like it's a first date. Here's how to skip that entire awkward phase. You can actually export everything from ChatGPT and bring it straight into Claude. Here’s How: Open ChatGPT, go to Settings, then Data Controls, then Export Data.

Apple made Siri AI official at WWDC last month, and it's not a small update, it's a full rebuild with a new name to match. I've been covering Apple for over a decade and I've watched this exact promise get delayed since 2024, so I went in skeptical. I've been running the iOS 27 public beta for a month now and honestly, it lives up to the hype. Let’s get into it. Apple is positioning this as an entirely new assistant, not an upgrade.

1. Think Twice Before Posting First-Day Photos It sounds obvious, but it's easy to forget in the moment. If you are going to share those first-day-of-school photos, be careful not to share too much information along with them. Crop out school names, signs, even uniforms. It's a small step that goes a long way in protecting your kid's privacy. And if you have older kids, this is also the moment to make sure their own social media accounts are set to private. 2.

I love the internet. I also love nature. Who would've thought? So when Yahoo invited me to Field Trip to the Future, FWB's gathering in Idyllwild, part music festival, part tech conference, my answer was duh. It's an unlikely concentration of techies who are optimistic about the future of the internet. Woodstock meets Gilmore Girls — that's genuinely the only way I can describe the vibe. Hop in, my chariot awaits. Yahoo curated the whole thing, and I rolled up as a passenger in a Yahoo-branded VW van.

Back to school season has officially begun and if you're a parent, you know the drill. A new school year starts and suddenly you're sitting there with the school calendar PDF open in one tab and your phone calendar open in another, manually typing in every early dismissal, every teacher work day, every late start. One by one. It takes forever and somehow you still end up missing one. I finally found a fix and I'm a little mad it took me this long.

If your kids have ever been the last ones standing outside for school pick up… this is for you. And yes, I've been there. It's 3:05pm and you're finally locked in on that one thing you've been trying to get done all day… and then you realize you were supposed to pick up the kids five minutes ago. Mom brain overload is real. Here's how to set up a pick-up alert on your iPhone that actually works. Step 1: Create the Alert Open the Shortcuts app.

Choose a Style That Fits Your Brand The style options are genuinely useful too. From talking head, studio, photographic, 3D animation, and more, there's a style for everything. A food and beverage brand shooting product content is going to want a totally different look than a real estate agent doing walkthroughs, and the platform can flex for both. A skincare brand might want something clean and editorial. A children's business might want animation.

You can also create AI characters that act as recurring hosts or spokespeople in your videos. This gives businesses the ability to use the same face, voice, and personality across multiple pieces of content without needing to film a new person every time. A business could create a recognizable digital host for educational videos, product explainers, social media updates, or frequently asked questions.
