When asked to evaluate how good we are at something, we tend to get that estimation completely wrong. It’s a universal human tendency, with the effect seen most strongly in those with lower levels of ability. Called the Dunning-Kruger effect, after the psychologists who first studied it, this phenomenon means people who aren’t very good at a given task are overconfident, while people with high ability tend to underestimate their skills. It’s often revealed by cognitive tests — which contain problems to assess attention, decision-making, judgment and language.But now, scientists at Finland’s Aalto University (together with collaborators in Germany and…

Officially scheduled to kick off this Thursday, November 20, Amazon’s Black Friday Week sale seems to have started a little early with a number of unprecedented and possibly unbeatable Samsung Galaxy Tab deals.If you can’t afford last year’s high-end Galaxy Tab S10 Plus, this year’s mid-range Galaxy Tab S10 FE might be the best choice for you ahead of the holidays at a killer $140 discount. This is currently good for both the 128 and 256GB storage configurations of the Exynos 1580-powered 10.9-incher in three color options (each), thus eclipsing Amazon’s Prime Day 2025 promotions from a couple of months…

Back when the Amazon Fire TV Stick first showed up, the whole pitch was basically, “Hey, plug this in and boom—your old TV is suddenly smart.” Fast-forward to now, and most TVs fresh off the shelf already have some kind of smart interface built in. The thing is, a lot of those built-in interfaces… kind of suck. Some companies still haven’t cracked the code on making a simple, smooth UI. (Looking at you, LG, with your strange Wiimote-wannabe remotes). So at this point, the real draw of the Fire TV Stick isn’t that it makes your TV “smart”—it’s that it…

There’s a figure who may greet you during an intense Benadryl trip.Faceless, shrouded in black with red eyes and a top hat, it ominously lurks in the corner. The Benadryl Hat Man is a shared and recurring hallucination that people report witnessing when taking dozens of the antihistamine at a time. The figure, depicted in Halloween costumes, POV-Benadryl trip memes, and Walmart graphic tees, has become the symbol for a new drug trend that sees young people deliberately taking large doses of the drug, not to ward off allergies, but to get high.John, a 21-year-old college student who used to…

Sony’s still excellent WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones are down to $250 for Black Friday. That’s $150 off the list price and equal to the all-time low (give or take a single cent) we saw on Prime Day. They may no longer be Sony’s flagship noise-canceling headphones, but if the WH-1000XM6 are out of your price range, these former Engadget favorites are well worth considering at this heavily reduced price.SonyWe awarded the WH-1000XM5 a score of 95 in our 2022 review, praising the supremely comfortable redesign, sound quality and powerful ANC. Battery life is also very respectable at 30 hours. We found…

Here’s another top 10 cars feature. These are my top 10 cars for sale by Iconic Auctioneers at the Classic Motor Show 2025. The cars that I chose are the cars that I personally would like to own, add to my collection, or am very tempted by. I have to say that this was the biggest collection of cars that I’ve ever seen for auction by Iconic Auctioneers at the Classic Motor Show. I was reliably informed that there were 340 cars and 260 motorbikes for sale. Absolutely bonkers. Does this say something about the economy? In my opinion, it…

I don’t know about you, but I’m not exactly surprised by Amazon’s early Galaxy Tab S10+ and Tab S10 FE Black Friday 2025 deals available today. That’s because one of those slates is certainly old enough to score a hefty discount ahead of the holidays, while the other one always felt a little overpriced to me. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite $100 off (29%) Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 6GB RAM, 10.9-Inch TFT LCD Screen with 2112 x 1320 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Exynos 1380 Processor, Android 15, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 5MP Front-Facing Camera, 8,000mAh Battery, 25W Charging…

Honorable MentionsPhotograph: Kat MerckR+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo for $37: I loved the landscape label on this generously sized aerosol spray but not the overpowering scent or lack of effectiveness.Divi Dry Shampoo for $28: This brand is best known for its viral scalp serum, but it makes plenty of other hair products too, including a starch-based dry shampoo. I liked that Divi’s formula was free of benzene and propellants like butane, but it left a heavy white residue that turned into a mess of flakes during blending.Davines This Is an Invisible Dry Shampoo for $40: Multiple people I know swear…

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is proving pretty popular with critics. The latest entry in the infinitely-running series is sitting on a Metascore of 83, with no reviews so far marked as “negative.” The same, however, can not be said of user reviews. At a desultory Metascore of 1.9, it’s the worst-rated Call of Duty ever. A lot of the ire in the Metascore reviews is focused on the game’s “lackluster” multiplayer-only campaign, faulty matchmaking, litany of bugs, and very unfavorable comparisons with Arc Raiders, but the use of AI also comes up a great deal as people vent their frustrations.…
