It’s back to school time, and as most students know, that means it’s time to get your bag as light as possible. Pharmacy student and Everyday Carry reader Eric Shen shares his bag.
If you have a great go bag with a useful organization scheme and great features, let us know! You can share your bag by posting it to your personal Kinja blog using the tag featured bag or adding it to our Lifehacker Go Bag Show and Tell Flickr pool. Photos must be at least 640x360. Please include information about your bag, what you put in it, and any relevant details about how you made it awesome. If yours catches our eye, we might just feature it!
When the fabric gives and an underwire pokes out from your bra, it can be painfully distracting, to say the least. For a quick fix, apply moleskin (available in first aid kits or a pharmacy) to put the wire back in place, stop the stabbing, and save your bra.
Despite its name, moleskin is available at drugstores and in most first aid kits, so if you’re at the office when this happens, there’s probably some in the office kit. Cut a small rectangle of moleskin, enough to cover the hole caused by the wire, push the wire back into place, and apply it over the hole.
Since moleskin is designed to provide padding for blisters or calluses, it won’t be uncomfortable or get ruined by rubbing against your skin. Some people even report the moleskin saving their bra from the trash entirely, which is good considering how expensive they can be. While this is a great way to fix an underwire bra you own, broken underwire is probably a symptom of a bra that either doesn’t fit (or no longer fits) and should be replaced anyway. Until you do, this can help.
If you want to wean yourself off of the need to look at your phone before bed, some deliberate practice ignoring notifications during the day might help.
Your smartphone can keep you up at night for a couple reasons. The blue light of the screen makes it hard for your brain to get sleepy, and notifications can buzz and beep you to waking up. Even with notifications off, however, you might also develop a fear of missing out (FOMO) if you’re not in direct contact with your phone. The anxiety of knowing that you’re missing notifications can be almost as bad as getting them all night. Larry Rosen at Harvard Business Review suggests that this exercise can help reduce that need to be in contact with your phone, especially right before bed:
During the day, practice not reacting to incoming alerts or notifications like one of Pavlov’s dogs. Don’t check your phone every time it beeps. In fact, turn off notifications and check on a schedule to retrain your brain’s neurotransmitters (particularly cortisol). Start by checking every 15 minutes, and gradually increase that to 30 minutes or more.
Tell your friends, family and colleagues that you may not be able to respond to them immediately, but you’ll get back to them within a certain amount of time if you’re worried about it. The key is to intentionally ignore all notifications. Let it buzz so you can shake your need to always be checking it. The whole article is well worth a read, so check it out at the link below.http://ift.tt/1PHsCWJ...

It can be difficult to part ways with your items, even if you don’t need them, but sometimes you need to find a way to let them go. It might sound a little strange, but thanking your items before you say goodbye might help you move on.
Most of the time, it’s not the item we want to hold on to, but the memories that are attached to it. Or it’s because we keep thinking that it “might come in handy” someday. Marie Kondo, the author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, suggests in her new eBay selling guide that you should show some gratitude:
An item may be good, useful, and even beautiful, however if it only seems like it should make you happy, but it really doesn’t, then it’s time to thank it and say goodbye. That’s right, say “thank you” to the item you’re going to sell. It will help you feel better about the decision you’ve made, and it will help you feel more gratitude towards the stuff you keep.
Thank that old toaster for all the great breakfasts it helped provide, thank that book for telling you a great story, and thank those clothes for making you look good once upon a time. By thanking your stuff, you remove a lot of the guilt that can sometimes come with decluttering. Thank the item for its service, get closure with your goodbye, and move on to the next thing you don’t need.http://ift.tt/1N5ysni...
Wireless internet is the most convenient thing since sliced bread...when it works. As one of the most frustrating parts of modern computing, we though it was worth a look back at some of our best tips for networking and Wi-Fi for today’s installment of Lifehacker’s 10th anniversary celebration.

For a kid that’s never done laundry before, the whole operation may as well look like NASA getting ready to launch a rocket. Writing clear instructions on your machines in dry erase marker will make it easy for them to learn.
Kids learning to do their own laundry helps teach them responsibility and takes a load off of you. If you have to constantly reteach them, however, you end up making more work for yourself in the long run (and possibly ruining some clothes in the process). Jessica Lahey, teacher and author of The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed, decided to make things easier for her 11-year old by writing straightforward instructions on her machines. If you’re machines are light enough for it to show, just use some dry erase markers to highlight which buttons to use and list the proper steps to do different loads of laundry. Combine this with something that decodes all of those complicated washing instructions on clothing, and you’re all set. This would work great for washer and dryer units you have in rental spaces too. The marker should come off just fine, but if it’s being stubborn, a little rubbing alcohol or vinegar should do the trick.http://ift.tt/1KzQLPu...

iPhone: It’s tough to keep mobile browsing private and secure, but one way to do it is to isolate some of your browsing away from everything else. Marcato is a browser that allows you to do that, essentially creating a bunch of private browsing windows that you can access quickly.
Marcato is made for privacy and security conscious people who want to keep some of their browsing secluded away. So, it’s great for things like logging into Facebook, email, or your bank. Essentially, with Marcato, you create a new browsing session for one specific web site, and each of those browsing sessions are secluded from one another, similar to something like Fluid on Mac. It’s actually a pretty clever way to keep browsing private without sacrificing too much in the way of usability. Marcato also works with both 1Password and Lastpass, so you also don’t have to worry about remembering passwords.http://ift.tt/1Q4rehM...
Think twice before jailbreaking your iPhone. A recent rash of malware has helped hackers steal over 250,000 Apple accounts, the largest theft of its kind. The malware only affects jailbroken devices, but if you get pwned, hackers can not only peek your password but also make App Store purchases without your permission. [Gizmodo]http://ift.tt/1KXtDWV...
There are a number of factors that affect how much you earn in the professional world. Still, it’s interesting to know what you can expect to earn with a certain degree, and this tool will give you a general idea. It’ll also tell you what kind of debt load you can expect with your degree.
The interactive calculator comes courtesy of education site GradSense. You plug in your degree information and field of study, and they tell you, on average, what you can expect to earn with that degree and also how much debt you can expect to incur. Their estimates are based on data from sources like the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education.
Again, there are so many different factors that can vary these numbers. For example, location matters: a career in one city might pay quite a bit more than another. Still, this gives you a general idea of what you can expect on a national level. Check it out for yourself at the link below.
Alkaline water is showing up on more and more grocery shelves—but it doesn’t offer any health benefits over its neutral-pH brethren.
The claims that it’s healthier come from the “alkaline diet” myth that we’ve covered before—but there’s nothing special about eating alkaline foods (alkaline being the opposite of acidic) because our body regulates its acid/alkaline balance independently of what we eat.
Refinery29 explains this myth in detail (“if your blood pH is abnormally high or low, your first clue will be passing out,” says one PhD-holding nutritionist) and goes on to say the only thing alkaline water could possibly help is the rare and mild condition of having a stomach that’s irritated by acidic foods. Read more at the link below about why alkaline water is just a meaningless marketing gimmick.
When you go about your daily work you inevitably deal with people who’s negativity drains you. How do you deal with an unhappy work environment? How can you use positive psychology to strengthen your career? Here to help is Michelle Gielan, author of Broadcasting Happiness.
Michelle advocates using a positive mindset to create change, whether you’re simply trying to improve your current job or are trying to further your career, and she recently collaborated with Happify to create an infographic based on the book. Sure, there’s no magic bullet in finding happiness at work, but avoiding a fear-based mindset and shifting towards positivity will help prime you for success.
Have a question for Michelle? She’ll be here for the next hour, so ask away!

Over the weekend, Netflix announced the service would be losing tons of big ticket blockbusters next month. Within hours, Hulu announced it would be scooping up those very movies. The streaming wars continue.
Netflix announced the sad news on its company blog yesterday. Though the company leads by taking potshots at the studio system, the reason it’s losing big movies has to do with second party licensing:
Meanwhile, we have decided not to renew our agreement in the US with Epix, the cable network, which means that some high profile movies including Hunger Games: Catching Fire, World War Z and Transformers: Age of Extinction, will expire at the end of September in the US. If you want to see them on Netflix US, now is the time.
While many of these movies are popular, they are also widely available on cable and other subscription platforms at the same time as they are on Netflix and subject to the same drawn out licensing periods. Through our original films and some innovative licensing arrangements with the movie studios, we are aiming to build a better movie experience for you.
In other words, Netflix would rather not pay the big bucks it costs to license these recent movies, and instead, it wants to spend the cash on original programming. Fair enough.
Later yesterday, Hulu announced a multi-year deal with Epix, bringing many of the same popcorny flicks to its service in the next few months.
At launch, blockbuster films such as, Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Trek: Into Darkness, World War Z, Wolf of Wall Street, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Robocop, God’s Not Dead, and more, will become available to Hulu subscribers for the first time.
We can expect “thousands” of new titles to hit Hulu. Sweet for Hulu customers.
So goes life and death of movies on streaming services. This competition over desirable hits is part of what keeps streaming services getting better and better with original content and bigger libraries over time. As we’ve written before, it’s also why no streaming service will ever be perfect. The takeaway? If you wanna see Transformers: Age of Extinction on Netflix, the time is NOW.
iOS: Third-party keyboards in iOS didn’t quite live up to the hype for most of us, but ReBoard is a new keyboard that takes a different approach. The keyboard features a ton of links to other services like Wunderlist, your calendar, Dropbox, and more so you can easily send data from one app to another.
ReBoard’s main appeal is its “command” function. Tap the Command button, and you instantly get access to a menu to search the internet, perform basic calculations, perform translations, search the map, your music library, and more. Since it’s a keyboard, it works in any app. Beyond that, you can also instantly add calendar events from any app, search and link to Dropbox files, add tasks to Wunderlist, and more. Unfortunately, you have to pay to add some third-party services to mix, but the core group of apps is enough for most people. As an actual keyboard, it’s not particularly exciting, but as a means to quickly access other apps, it does its job.
Travel is a great experience, and we should all be so lucky to see different parts of the world. But there are probably some places you’ve been that you felt were overrated, or they just weren’t what you expected.
Some travel destinations are so legendary, we expect quite a bit out of them, and then we’re confused when they don’t live up to the hype. It’s not to say these places aren’t worth visiting; they just weren’t what you thought they’d be.
This doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing, either. Maybe you visited the Eiffel Tower expected to be blown away by the grandeur, but something else took you by surprise: a nearby park or something you learned about its history, perhaps. Or, maybe it wasn’t the destination itself, but your own experience with it: did you travel at the wrong time? Were you unprepared?
Whatever the scenario, tell us: what travel destinations have you been to that weren’t what you expected?
It helps to have a drill nearby for making clean plunge cuts with your jigsaw. But when that’s not an option, you can still make a plunge cut using just your saw. Here’s how.
Plunge cuts are needed when starting a cut in the center of wood. A drill with a large bit can be used to drill a hole that your saw blade can drop into. This method is easy, but not always the most convenient. You can make your own plunge cut sans a drill by leaning the front edge of the jigsaw against the wood surface and slowing pushing it down into the wood as well as pulling it across the wood.
Start your blade moving first before making contact with the wood and try this technique a few times on scrap wood. With a sharp blade, you’ll be making plunge cuts in no time. This approach can also be applied to making plunge cuts with a reciprocating saw. Don’t forget your eye protection.
There are a ton of browser extensions that promise to protect your privacy, which leads to some natural questions: Which is the best? Do they all do the same thing? What should I really download? In this guide, we’re going to look at the most popular browser extensions that promise to protect your privacy online, and give you our recommendations.
Update: A lot has changed since we first published this post. We’ve refreshed it with new options in each category, removed dead extensions that are no longer available, and updated each section with new contenders and updated information. Our big picks are the same (AdBlock Plus for ad blocking and Disconnect for browser-based privacy,) but uBlock Origin is a great alternative to ABP that we encourage you to try out. Similarly, Disconnect still has its amazing browser plugins, but they also have a new premium package that’s worth discussing if you want whole-desktop and mobile privacy protection.
Ad and script blockers give you control over your browsing experience. They can block ads on the sites you visit and kill third-party scripts and widgets that send your data to who knows where. However, with great power comes great responsibility: If you don’t know how to use them, these tools can break the sites you read, rendering them unusable until you figure out what to allow and what to block. Plus, blocking ads can has a very real impact on the site and the people who work on it (like us here at Lifehacker). Even so, it puts the power into your hands to decide which sites are worth supporting and which are just too annoying to use without an ad-blocker.
AdBlock Plus (Firefox/Chrome/Safari) blocks banner ads, pop-up ads, rollover ads, and more. It stops you from visiting known malware-hosting domains, and also disables third-party tracking cookies and scripts. Plus, there are a ton of things you can do with it beyond just blocking ads. We think it has the right combination of ease-of-use, on-and-off toggling, whitelisting capabilities, and hands-off management that makes it a tool that anyone can pick up and use. Power users can get their hands dirty with different subscription lists and tweaking the active lists they use, but basic users can enable it and walk away.http://ift.tt/1frgqOb...
The Alternatives:
In our opinion, Adblock Plus is your best bet, but there are a few other extensions that do the same thing. Here are your other options:
uBlock Origin for Chrome and Firefox: uBlock Origin, the version of uBlock managed and maintained by the original developer (you can read the whole uBlock vs. uBlock Origin controversy here if you care, but our recommendation is uBlock Origin) is just as powerful as AdBlock Plus—perhaps moreso, because it gives you more control over what’s blocked and what’s allowed than ABP does. It’s also much lighter on system resources, and it doesn’t come with some of the issues ABP has with companies paying the makers of ABP to let their ads through. The only reason uBlock Origin isn’t our top pick here is because it’s a little advanced for novice users, and it blocks a bit more than ABP does, so you’ll need to get your hands dirty to really customize it, and b: ABP has features—like cleaning up Facebook, hiding YouTube comments and other cruft, and more—that uBlock Origin doesn’t...at least not until you’re enough of a power user to add them yourself. If you do consider yourself a power user though, skip ABP and install this instead.
NoScript (Firefox) and ScriptSafe (Chrome, formerly ScriptNo): Both disable all scripts from running on pages without you specifically adding them to an allow list. This includes Java, JavaScript, Flash, and others. They’re powerful, but they’re also really aggressive, and will break an awful lot of sites. If you use them, you have to be up to the task of digging through scripts on every new site you visit to figure out which ones will make the site even work properly. Plus, AdBlock Plus already does this (and is less aggressive), you just have to add the right filters.
We should say here that if you don’t use AdBlock Plus for some of those advanced features, like trimming YouTube’s cruft or blocking specific things, you should give uBlock Origin a try. It’ll do wonders for your browser’s memory consumption, and you’ll get a more powerful and customizable tool as a result—although you may need to do some tweaking to get it to work just the way you like it.
Stop Everyone from Tracking Your Browsing with Disconnect
Anti-tracking and anti-cookie extensions have exploded. We covered a number of them when we discussed how you can stop companies from tracking your movements on the web. Since then, the market has only grown, with more extensions and apps that all honestly do the same thing, with little more than UI tweaks and differences between them.http://ift.tt/1fDJcKX...
Disconnect Private Browsing (Firefox/Chrome/IE/Safari) is our pick because it protects you from tracking, malware, and malvertising, and offers secure Wi-Fi and bandwidth optimization features that just aren’t available in other tools. It blocks third party tracking cookies and gives you control over all site scripts and elements from a simple-to-use toolbar menu. When malware injects ads onto popular pages, or ad networks are hijacked by embedded malware, Disconnect can protect you from that as well—and it happens more often than you might think. It also protects you from tracking by social networks like Facebook, Google, and Twitter, which use your browsing even off-site to collect data about you. Finally, Disconnect protects you from sidejacking (or widgetjacking), where an attacker can use stolen cookies to access personal data without having to know your password, with its Secure Wi-Fi feature. http://ift.tt/1Ui0RKW...
The Alternatives:
Disconnect is our favorite of the bunch, but there are other extensions that do the same thing (or some of the same things) if you need alternatives:
Privacy Badger (Chrome/Firefox) launched not too long ago as a project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Since it’s the new kid on the block, it tries to take the best of all of the extensions that came before it. It’s pretty lenient though, and blocks objectionable activities and builds a blocklist as it observes bad behavior, instead of blocking certain sites, cookies, and activities out of the box. This makes it more lightweight, but offers a bit less protection out of the gate—or at least until it learns based on your behavior. You also get an easy-to-control toolbar button that’s absolutely clear about the information recorded about you. The “green/yellow/red” system shows you whether you’re being tracked across sites, and you can toggle the options at any time to lock things down.
Do Not Track Me (Firefox/Chrome/IE/Safari): Do Not Track Me offers a drop-down browser toolbar that shows you which tracking cookies and scripts have loaded on a site, and gives you the option to disable them entirely. It’s similar to other tools, but with a friendly, colorful UI. It also leaves plug-ins and scripts enabled until you specifically turn them off. Disconnect is much more powerful and feature rich, Do Not Track Me might appeal to people who want to leave everything on and disable items selectively.
Ghostery (Firefox/Chrome/Safari/IE): Much like the others, Ghostery blocks tracking cookies and scripts from running by default. It’ll also show you what it’s blocked, so you can see whether the items it’s blocked are harmless or intrusive. Ghostery’s database is huge, and gives you the power to block all, some, or none of the things that it finds. Unfortunately, Ghostery has its own problems selling data to advertisers, so you may want to steer clear if that doesn’t sit well with you.
You could argue that Disconnect, Do Not Track Me, and Ghostery all do the same thing, but we still think that Disconnect is the most robust of the three. We like Privacy Badger’s “learn as you go” approach, but we can’t argue that it leaves you with less protection out of the gate than any of the others here. That said, Disconnect’s newest version is only available for Firefox and Chrome, so if you prefer Safari, IE, or Opera, we’d suggest going with Do Not Track Me instead.
Some of this comes down to personal preference, what doesn’t break the sites you visit, and what works best in the browser you use most often, so don’t hesitate to try something else if one doesn’t work. The worst that can happen is you’re extra protected, and none of these add-ons have that much resource overhead.
Disconnect’s browser tool is a must-download, and we recommend it for everyone who wants a little privacy—or even who wants to speed up their web browsing experience, since you’ll see noticeably faster page loading and browsing times once all of that tracking and advertising cruft is disabled. If you want to take things a step further though, Disconnect’s new whole-desktop package rolls in the Private Browsing features we mentioned above with a proxy and VPN that keeps all of your browsing safe. It checks your connections against Disconnect’s known list of malware-packed ad networks, third-party tracking tools, known malware hosts and sites, and more, and then just blocks it from ever resolving. http://ift.tt/1Js9ZCw...
The free version of Disconnect’s desktop suite includes the browser plugins we mentioned above with Disconnect’s private search, and a basic proxy that keeps your browsing safe. If you upgrade to Disconnect’s premium offering ($5/mo or $50/yr) you get those features along with mobile apps for iOS and Android to protect your browsing and block malware and adware on the go (which also happens to block a lot of ads), a full-fledged VPN to encrypt your traffic (and to get around pesky location restrictions,) and more.
It’s a great service, and frankly there aren’t alternatives to this one because it’s such a holistic package. That said, the premium cost may be too much for some people. We definitely think you should subscribe to a VPN, especially when you’re on Wi-Fi or using untrusted networks, but Disconnect’s is designed for privacy and security, not necessarily anonymity or file transfer like others we’ve highlighted. Weigh your needs before opening your wallet. For many people, the Disconnect browser extensions are all the protection you’ll need, but there’s nothing wrong with supporting a project that’s keeping the web safer for all of us. http://ift.tt/1Ui0RL6...
Additional Privacy Tools You Should Have
In addition to privacy protecting tools and ad blockers, a few other add-ons, utilities, and services came up while we were researching this piece that you shouldn’t roam the web without.
HTTPS Everywhere (Firefox/Chrome) is a must-have regardless of what other security tools you opt to use. Once installed, the extension will shunt your connection to SSL whenever possible, and will try to find secure versions of the sites you visit. It’s a great way to protect your browsing without really lifting a finger. Best of all, it just updated to keep you safe on thousands more sites around the web.http://ift.tt/1SCzv1f...
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts all of your internet traffic and offers the most possible protection from prying eyes. We’ve covered VPN services in detail before, including what to look for, what makes a good one, and some great providers to try. Look for a provider that keeps only the minimum required logs for troubleshooting purposes, offers strong encryption, is well regarded by its users, and offers multiple exits locations. Contrary to common belief, don’t just spring for any offshore VPN—just because your VPN provider is in a far-off country doesn’t mean it’s secure, or at all private. For more suggestions, our friends at TorrentFreak just updated their list of providers that take your anonymity seriously, and it looks a bit like ours. If you’re just looking for a free or freemium service to keep you protected while you’re out and about, and you’re not ready to try on a full, paid, VPN service yet (or roll your own), try Hideman or Tunnelbear.
Antivirus and Antimalware utilities are essential to protecting security. It may sound like “How to Internet: 101,” but taking care to avoid suspicious sites, practice good internet hygiene (eg, not opening suspicious attachments, checking file names before you download, etc), and keep updated antivirus and antimalware tools on your PC is important. Often the term “privacy” is couched in terms of advertising and marketing, but the risk of identity theft and getting infected with ransomware is growing. We’ve recently updated our pick for the best antivirus app for Windows, and we have some options for Mac as well. Looking for antimalware? These suggestions will get you started.http://ift.tt/1Ui0S1q...
Other Security Tools You Probably Don’t Need, but May Want
We’ve covered the most important privacy and security tools you need already, but there’s always another step you can take to make sure your communications can’t be intercepted and read by third parties. Here are a few other tools you might consider: http://ift.tt/1fDJcL1...
Web of Trust (WOT): (Firefox/Chrome/Safari/IE) WOT does a great job at ranking sites by reputation, and will show you whether a specific site has been known to host malware or is loaded with tracking cookies and scripts that could result in malware or adware on your system. It’s not an ad blocker or anything, but it does rank and notify you when the site you’re visiting is less than trustworthy. Advanced users may not need the hand-holding, but beginners and anyone else who wishes they could see behind the veil of what’s loaded when they visit a site may.
Tor (Windows/Mac/Linux) encrypts your web traffic and bounces it across a series of other computers, known as relays, to keep their location and browsing private and anonymous. Granted, that anonymity only goes so far: traffic leaving a Tor exit node is unencrypted, so while traffic inside the Tor network is encrypted and anonymous, ultimately your browsing comes out of someone else’s pipe and looks like normal web traffic. Tor is built for anonymity with a nod to security—not the other way around. You can read more about how Tor works here. It’s a great way to stay anonymous on the internet, but don’t mistake it for something like a VPN.
There’s a ton of overlap between a lot of these tools, which is why we wanted to trim the fat and pick specifics that we think you should install. Keeping too many on your system isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it can slow your computer down at worst, and at best it doesn’t offer you any additional protection. If you’re not using any because you’re not sure which to use, now you have some solid options. Either way, the tools are at your fingertips. It’s never been easier to take the reins for yourself and make the web an opt-in experience instead of an opt-out one.
Google has officially released an Android Wear app for iOS. While Google claims that the app only supports LG Watch Urbane, Huawei Watch, and Asus ZenWatch 2, news site The Verge says it works on several older models. You can download the new Android Wear app here.
