The maintenance habits your refrigerator actually needs

Refrigerators are arguably the most essential home appliance in our households, but while the ovens, washing machines or even the air conditioning systems get their break when they are turned off, refrigerators rarely get any break. In order to keep our perishable foods fresh and safe, refrigerators are kept active 24/7 – through the night, through power cuts and through the dozens of time we open the door just to look for a midnight snack.Of course, refrigerators were built keeping all of this in mind. But that doesn’t mean they don’t need a bit of looking after. They also cost a pretty penny, and an only a little cleaning and maintenance is often the difference between making a refrigerator last for five years or fifteen.Take cleaning, for instance. People tend to clean the refri...

Modern productivity demands better screens

Breaking News, Feature

Very few modern jobs involve working on one thing at a time these days. A typical work morning now consists of keeping a spreadsheet open next to a client email, squeezing in a zoom call in the corner and refreshing your inbox every five minutes. Let's also not forget the countless tabs that you keep opened in your browser, half of which you have forgotten why you had opened in the first place. This is what office work looks like now, and most of our older and smaller screens weren't exactly built for all this. A single 24-inch monitor can only do so much. You either have to choose between different windows, or shrink each one until the text is a squint away from unreadable. This constant switching in the middle of work disrupts concentration and makes us lose focus. On the other hand, h...
