Carolyn Hax: Don't Settle For Bits Of User's Time

Installing an outdoor Wi-Fi camera is one of the easiest ways to add security around your home. However, these cameras often need charging, and if you don’t monitor them, you might find yourself with a dead camera at the most crucial moment. So, Baseus fixed this with the Baseus S1 Pro 2-Cam Kit.

The drama surrounding ByteDance and the banning/unbanning of TikTok, CapCut, etc. in the US is ongoing. So, what better time is there for an American company to develop and launch competing apps?

Therapeutic geothermal mineral waters in the Rockies have attracted soakers for centuries, starting with the Utes, who frequently visited them for physical and spiritual healing. These days, people often seek them out after a day on the slopes or adventuring in the backcountry, Or you can soak for the sake of soaking by taking an 800-mile Colorado Historic Hot Springs Loop for the ultimate in relaxing road trips.

Google Maps is great, but it's not the only map tool in town. I've switched to Organic Maps, an open-source Google Maps alternative with every feature I need—but it also protects my privacy while I'm getting around.

Dear Eric: I am a 60-something man who struggled for decades, working multiple jobs at a time. Many of those jobs were physically brutal, but thanks to a generous family inheritance late last year I’m finally able to rest my beaten and broken body and retire with my arthritis meds and pending joint replacements. My wife of eight months, who is physically whole and energetic, and who never held a paying job, wants us to spend my inheritance to live in “active seniors” retirement like those graying couples in AARP and prescription meds commercials: mountain climbing, volunteering to build houses, running marathons, kite-skiing, etcetera. Here’s what I want to do every day: Take my daily two-mile morning walk or pedal my bike about 10 miles, swim my laps at the YMCA, take a nap, then spend the next 10 hours writing, reading and catching up with all those long-ago movies and TV series I missed due to 70-hour work weeks and having to learn new jobs for so many years. Help? — Peaceful Retirement Dear Retirement: Congratulations on moving into this well-deserved next chapter.
