She’s a lab, boxer, pit bull mix who likes cuddles, sleeping in, saying “hello” to strangers, and, probably more than anything else, chew toys.
To some, picking out a toy for a dog is a pretty low-effort task. It’s understandable. Who would want to scrutinize something that seems so mindless? Most people would pick something off the rack at Petco that squeaks and move on with their life.

But, dear reader, I am one of those people. And by “those,” I mean “person who treats their pet as if it were their human child.”
Because I am this way, I get really particular about the stuff I buy my dog. I just want the best for her, you know? And that’s honestly good news for you, because this protective pet parent sourced and tested 10 diverse chew toys — from frisbees, to bones, and everything in between — and I’ve gathered my (and Stevie’s) definitive thoughts on each of them.
How did we test them?
Stevie and I started our review process knowing we’d give each toy a few weeks of testing. She played with each of the 10 toys for a short session each day over the course of the month, and I took careful note of how she interacted with them — and more importantly, if and when they started to deteriorate. With each one, I made sure to play both fetch and tug-of-war to test their durability and ease of use, but mostly I just let her gnaw away, seeing which ones could withstand her powerful jaws.
A lot of chew toys claim to be “indestructible,” which is really misleading.
Keep in mind, though, that dog breed, preference, and the type of chewer your pet will definitely have an impact on your final result. My dog happens to be an aggressive chewer, and she tends to rip her toys to shreds relatively quickly, but if one option didn’t work for her, that doesn’t mean it’ll be a bad fit for yourdog.
Another note: A lot of chew toys claim to be “indestructible,” which is really misleading. No chew toy is truly indestructible, so you should always take special care to remove the toy from the lineup if pieces start to break off. Ingesting chew toy pieces is a hazard for all dogs, and you should generally supervise them during playtime to circumvent a possible choking risk or future digestive issues.
Rawhide: It’s a “no.”
One type of toy — or treat, I suppose — that I specifically left off of this list was anything made from rawhide, which is a widely used substance that comes from the inner layer of cow or horse hides.
Rawhide is super common in your classic dog bones (some are even flavored to make them more enticing to chew on), and it’s really easy to find in almost any pet supply store. The thing is, it’s actually really dangerous to let your dog play with rawhide.

The biggest problem with these types of treats is that they can easily break off in large chunks and be ingested by your dog, proposing a high risk for those pieces to become stuck in their esophagus or digestive tract.
Depending on the size, a veterinarian may be able to remove rawhide pieces from your dog’s throat, but anything past that could require invasive surgery. If not resolved, it can kill your dog. So, you probably should stay away from it.
What chew toy should I get for my dog?
It’s important for dogs to have a trusty chew toy that they can always turn to, and it’s your duty as their owner to provide them with a good one. Chewing is a very natural behavior in all dogs, no matter their size or breed. Not only does chewing help reduce their stress and anxiety levels, but it can also be a helpful distraction from bad behaviors like barking and digging.
So, embrace your dog’s natural need to chew, and make sure to offer them the best toy for their personal play and chewing styles. Here’s what Stevie and I thought about the 10 chew toys we tested. Hopefully, it’ll give you some insight into how your dog might respond to them.

Choosing a laptop is entirely dependent on what you’ll be using it for. Beginner laptop owners need something user-friendly and straightforward, frequent travelers need something light with a long battery life, designers and gamers need top-notch 4K graphics and quick central processors, and everyone needs something that will last.
The first thing you should do is ask yourself a simple question: PC or Mac? This is an important question, as it’s going to make a world of difference in what you can and can’t do with your computer. Are you a gamer? A video editor? A business professional? An Apple device owner? The answer to any of these will probably point you towards your final answer. If you’re constantly buying the new iPhone every year, editing YouTube videos, recording a podcast, or other creative endeavors of the sort, your best bet may be a Mac laptop. Apple obsessives will be happy with their Mac’s compatibility with their other Apple products, and everyone can benefit from Macs’ propensity to have better virus protection than that of a PC.
That brings us to the perks of picking up a PC. You can still complete a number of creative projects on a personal computer, but where PCs really shine are their options for customization. PCs are much easier to upgrade part-by-part, as they aren’t constrained to Apple-manufactured products (like Macs). And because there is a seemingly endless supply of PC manufacturers, there are a lot more options from what brand you chose, to the software you buy, to the type of graphics card you pick out for your gaming rig. Yes, gamers should always go the PC route — they are far more powerful than what a Mac laptop can handle, and also give you the option to connect VR headsets, if you’re into that sort of thing.
What size laptop should you get?
This really comes down to two things: Personal preference and lifestyle. Personal preference is self-explanatory, really — do you like having a huge display, or do you prefer something more compact? Lifestyle is where practicality comes into play. If you’re traveling often and usually have your computer on your back in some way, you’re going to want to go with something more light and compact (thin, 11-inch models will most likely be the best). But if you’re a huge movie buff who doesn’t normally take their laptop on the road with them, spring for a 15-inch (and higher) screen with a bulky construction so you can have epic Netflix sessions. If you’re getting a gaming laptop, you should probably “go big or go home,” as well.
How much should you spend on a new laptop?
This is much more subjective, and at the end of the day, it’s really going to come down to your budget. But, if money isn’t the number one concern for you, you should really think hard about what you’re going to use your laptop for. Need a device with lots of power under the hood and bountiful storage space? Aim for something in the $800 and beyond range. Only using your laptop to edit the occasional Google Doc? Then you can probably get away with spending way below the $500 mark. In other words, don’t blow your savings if you don’t need to. And if you’re looking to go all out, meaning buying a laptop with every bell and whistle imaginable, you can get a monster of a machine for somewhere closer to $2,000.
Are cheap laptops worth it?
You know the old saying: You get what you pay for. But thanks to the technology boom of the last few decades, a cheap laptop can actually take you pretty far and won’t break down immediately. It’s all about knowing which one to select. Depending on what you use your laptop for the most, staying stingy might be your best option. Check out our roundups for the ones that we think are worth it — here are our favorite cheap laptop models under $500, and the best under $300.
What does it mean when a laptop is certified refurbished?
Don’t let the words “refurbished” or “renewed” scare you away — these types of devices are usually perfectly viable options and can end up saving you a lot of money without sacrificing much of anything.
A refurbished device, in its simplest terms, is a product that has been bought, but then returned for some reason. Notice that we didn’t necessarily say that it was returned due to some sort of fault on the device’s part. While that can certainly be true in some cases, it isn’t always. Oftentimes, a certified refurbished laptop never even left its original packaging.
While yes, saving money is a huge benefit of buying a “refurb,” it’s far from the only reason to consider getting one. What’s great about refurbished devices is that they undergo rigorous performance tests to ensure that they are still in good condition (sometimes more strictly than the stuff coming right off the production line). There’s also a chance that any refurbished laptop you buy may have been so lightly used, that it could almost be considered brand-new (just way cheaper).
We’re big fans of buying refurbished gear for kids, especially when it comes to electronics. If you’re shopping for a laptop for a kid who is under the age of 15, then refurbished is really the way to go. For kids of high school age and beyond who are a bit more careful with their digital gear, then a new laptop isn’t as risky. Of course, it depends on the kid.

The best blue light glasses for combatting digital eye strain
A powerful pulse of energy from the sun (called a coronal mass ejection, or CME) triggered a storm in Earth’s atmosphere in early February, causing it to warm up and grow more dense. This proved fatal for a batch of SpaceX’s recently launched Starlink internet satellites, which the company put into a protective safe mode to “take cover from the storm.” Ultimately, up to 40 satellites succumbed to increased drag from the denser atmosphere, SpaceX said.
As a result, they’re now falling through, and burning up in, the sky. Video footage from Puerto Rico on Feb. 7, captured by the astronomy group Sociedad de Astronomía del Caribe, shows a Starlink satellite vividly disintegrating.
When the video begins, the first piece of burning debris comes into focus at the bottom of the frame. Then, at around 50 seconds, the fireworks begin, as either pieces of the same satellite or potentially a different one fragments apart.
SEE ALSO:
Is the mysterious ‘space diamond’ for real? An investigation.
Marco Langbroek, a satellite tracker who works for the astronomy department at Leiden University in the Netherlands, blogged that “there is very little doubt that this was a Starlink satellite reentering.”
The disintegrating satellites, fortunately, will not add to humanity’s serious, and growing, space junk problem. And it’s unlikely the fragments pose any danger to Earthlings. “Starlink satellites are not very big and do not have big rocket engines, so there is very little chance that anything remains and reaches Earth surface from these reentries: It will all burn up in the atmosphere,” Langbroek wrote.
Save $30.99: Find that sweet spot on your thermostat every time — upgrade to the Google Nest smart thermostat for just $99. Amazon gives you a 24% discount on this programmable WiFi thermostat as of Feb. 10.
It won’t be much longer before springtime arrives. And when the temperature outside gets a little unpredictable, you’ll be thankful to have a smart and affordable thermostat that keeps your home at just the right climate.
The Google Nest thermostat is on sale for only $99 at Amazon — just above its Black Friday price. This smart thermostat is a good investment for anyone looking to shave a bit off their monthly electric bill, and is relatively simple to install if you have some basic DIY skills. Google claims it’s compatible with about 85% of home systems, but you should try out the Nest Thermostat Compatibility Checker to make sure it works with your system before you buy. Once installed, it’s easy to use: Adjust its settings on the touch bar or through the Google Home App.
You can start with a personalized schedule, so the Nest knows to turn itself down when you leave your home. It also uses sensors to detect when you leave and can set itself at an “Eco Temperature” to optimize savings. But it does more than just adjust the temperature. Its Savings Finder program, for instance, looks for other ways to save energy and will suggest subtle tweaks to your schedule.

Apple announced Thursday major security updates for both iOS 15.3.1 and iPadOS 15.3.1. At issue, according to the company, is an exploit which could let a hacker run arbitrary code on users devices (that’s bad). What’s more, Apple notes that this vulnerability isn’t theoretical.
“Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution,” writes the company. “Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.”
In other words, Apple is saying that someone out there — hackers, government employees, whoever — may used this exploit prior to this patch.
Thursday’s announcement comes shortly on the heels of a Jan. 26 security patch for iOS and macOS, which itself followed a host of December, 2021, security fixes. To be clear, it’s a good thing that Apple is actively issuing these patches — even if customers are left wondering why so many are ultimately necessary.
Thursday’s update is available for the iPhone 6s and later, all iPad Pro models, the iPad Air 2 (and later), the iPad 5th generation (and later), the iPad mini 4 (and later), and the 7th generation iPod touch.

Notably, Apple credits discovery of the vulnerability to an anonymous researcher.
To update your iPhone:
While connected to internet, plug your iPhone in and go to Settings
Tap General
Select Software Update
Chose Download and Install
Enter your passcode when prompted
Apple thankfully makes the update process relatively painless, which, considering how often iOS security updates seem to be needed, is wholeheartedly appreciated.
Apple on Thursday announced a series of updates to its AirTag tracking devices, once again making explicit what it’s long known to be true: Abusers use these small discs to stalk victims. With that in mind, soon the AirTag setup will include a warning that using AirTags to track people without their consent is — in many places, anyway — a crime.
“In an upcoming software update, every user setting up their AirTag for the first time will see a message that clearly states that AirTag is meant to track their own belongings, that using AirTag to track people without consent is a crime in many regions around the world, that AirTag is designed to be detected by victims, and that law enforcement can request identifying information about the owner of the AirTag,” explained Apple in the Thursday blog post.
Oh. Credit: Apple
The move comes long after victim advocates cried foul at the cheap and easy-to-use tech, pointing out that the scale of Apple’s Find My network puts AirTags in a class of their own. Way back in May of 2021, Evan Galperin, the EFF’s Director of Cybersecurity, spoke out against those dismissing the potential dangers of AirTags.
“The people who are hand-waving the stalking potential of Air Tags sure seem to be folks that are 1. not familiar with how intimate partner abuse works 2. from groups that are less likely to be victims of intimate partner abuse,”
Tweet may have been deleted
Apple also announced additional support documentation for those who may find themselves the victims of AirTag-enabled abuse.
Other updates announced Thursday include the clarification that “Unknown Accessory Detected” alerts will only display if AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, or “a third-party Find My network accessory” are detected near an iPhone — and not if an iPhone detects an unknown AirTag (that notification will read “AirTag Found Moving With You”).
In addition, Apple reiterated that is has “been actively working with law enforcement on all AirTag-related requests,” and that “Apple can provide the paired account details in response to a subpoena or valid request from law enforcement.”
While important, it’s unclear if working with police after-the-fact is a solution that will address AirTag abuse at scale.

You no longer need an iPhone to know if someone’s secretly tracking you with AirTags
With Thursday’s update, Apple is seemingly acknowledging that the steps it has taken up to this point to address stalking with AirTags — and the company has taken steps, to be clear — are insufficient.
Perhaps a stern warning will succeed where other efforts have failed. We hope no one is holding their breath.
Save $62.75: A 3-pack of the Philips Hue A19 white and color bulbs is only $72.24 at Amazon as of Feb.10, thanks to a markdown and an on-page coupon. These bulbs are usually $134.99, making this a 46% savings and the bulbs’ lowest price to date.
Anyone who has considered buying smart lights has looked at Philips Hue bulbs. The same people have also probably Googled some version of, “Are Philips Hues worth it?” because these little bulbs, for all their fun color-changing functions, are not cheap.
At least, they’re not cheap usually. As of Feb. 10, you can grab a three pack of the Philips Hue A19 white and color bulbs for just $72.24 at Amazon, which puts the price at about $24 per bulb. Considering just one of these bulbs will run you $45, this is an incredible deal and one that we’ve never seen before — the bulbs’ Black Friday price (and former lowest ever) had the three pack available for just under $80.
This sweet deal comes courtesy of a markdown combined with a 15% on-page coupon. However, if you’re not interested in grabbing three bulbs at once (though that will give you the most savings), the coupon can also be applied to the two-pack and single pack of the bulbs.
So what is it about these lightbulbs that usually have people shelling out big? In terms of pure aesthetics, you can set these lights to basically any color you can think of, and unlike some other budget bulbs, the app you use to do that is easy to navigate. Also unlike most budget bulbs, the Hue doesn’t require a specific WiFi connection to work.
While you do get the absolute most out of scheduling and smart functionality by using a Hue Hub (aka an additional purchase that is the only way to use WiFi with these bulbs), they’re also Bluetooth compatible. With just the free Bluetooth app, you can connect up to 10 bulbs, use voice control, and set timers and even certain atmospheres for your lights.
All in all, they’re some of the best smart lights out there, and for a limited time, they’re not outrageously expensive, so grab them while you can.
