I’ve got bad typing habits. I oftentimes find myself slouched down, hunched over, or otherwise mashed into a ball when I’m sitting at my desk. I know how I’m supposed to sit. I even have an ergonomic stool. But inevitably, I end up slouching, which I know is going to end up doing my back a number in the future.

The ERGO K860 by Logitech is an ergonomic split keyboard that keeps your wrists and arms from moving around too much, and is designed to help you sit up straight in the best possible position for your arms, wrists, and even back and legs. The curved keyboard also has an upward slope right where you would normally rest your hands, which means less travel, less movement, and less strain on your body.

I’ve been using the ERGO K860 for about a month now, and find that it really helps me keep my body in its ideal sitting position, and it’s also giving me a bit of typing retraining (because I’ve got lazy typing habits, too).

Nom Nom Apocalypse is a top-down shooting game where players battle food monsters.
It’s developed and published by Deadleaf Games.
It’s planned to be available for purchase on Steam on February 13.
It’s also coming to Nintendo Switch later this year.

Developed and published by Deadleaf Games, Nom Nom Apocalypse is a top-down shooting game set in a world ravaged by the apocalypse. The catch is that the world has been overrun by food monsters. You can take a look at the trailer below.

Nom Nom Apocalypse can be played alone or with a fellow survivor in local co-op. You can also play online through Steam Remote Play Online. Much like the monsters, the guns are all food-themed, with over 30 weapons like the Ketchup Squirter and Fork Crossbow. There’s also over 45 different perks that bring special abilities, which might be what your chef needs to survive against the ravenous hordes.

Deadleaf Games is a one-man studio run by Josh Sacco….

The change will make it harder for ad companies to track individuals online.

What you need to know

Google is planning on phasing out user-string agents in the Chrome browser.
The change would improve individuals’ privacy by making it harder for ad peddlers to ’fingerprint’ users online.
It would also help solve a variety of compatibility issues experienced by other browsers.

Privacy is all the rage at the Chrome labs these days. Amidst its efforts to do away with notification spam on Chrome and adding electronic privacy screen support to its Chrome-powered notebooks, Google this week announced its desire to eventually phase out and deprecate user-agent (UA) strings on its browser.

For those not familiar with the term, this is a string of metadata sent out by your browser every time you visit a website. The information includes your browser’s name and version, the operating system, and the rendering engine used. The last two, in particular, can be far more revealing than you mig…

Siri on your HomePod can help you find and discover a bunch of music!

When it comes to playing music, the HomePod is a fantastic speaker that fills your room with excellent sound, and if you have an Apple Music subscription, your HomePod has access to a vast catalog of music that you can play all by invoking Siri.

While you may know the basics of using Siri to find and play your music, there’s a ton of commands you may not know about; here’s all the way Siri can help you play music on your HomePod!

Note: I’m using iPhone screenshots to illustrate the Siri interactions of the commands, but you can just use Hey, Siri directly to your HomePod to achieve all these results.

How to find songs using Siri on HomePod

Probably the most straightforward way of searching for music is by just asking Siri to play you a song you want to hear, but that isn’t the only command you can give Siri to play a particular song. You can get Siri to find you the newest single from an artist, or even find s…

Kids and iPad minis make a great pair. The smaller form factor is great for small hands. The iPad mini 5, with its spec bump and Apple Pencil compatibility, is truly a ”grown-up” iPad that a child can grow into. But you’ll probably want to protect that iPad mini 5 from little hands.
