Remember: The best gifts for men should make the guy you're buying for feel seen. They should make him feel like you truly get him.No two guys are the same, and not every man spends their days dreaming of whiskey stones. (In fact, we'd guess that very few of them do.) Traditional male stereotypes are a thing of the past, y'all, and it's time we started embracing that fact when we're looking for gifts. Before you click “buy” on something that will definitely require a gift receipt, le

Google has rolled out its search with generative AI results, and thus far, the results have been mixed. The tool, at least in my experience, has proven less than reliable. While sometimes it can be helpful, it often gets in the way of the results you're looking for. The internet has noticed that Google's AI search isn't perfect — far from it. Toward the end of this week, folks began posting apparent AI Google search results online. There was a mix of things that were flat-out wrong, some d

You want a fit that’s snug but not too snug. | Photo by Allison Johnson / The Verge Getting a smart ring is a little more complicated than getting a smartwatch. To buy one, you need to acquire a sizing kit, try on a bunch of sample rings, find your size, wear it for 24 hours, make sure it fits properly, let the company know your size, and then, you get your smart ring. At least, that’s how it usually works. Apparently, you may be able to skip that process entirely with Samsung’
