Why does laundry dry so slowly in the cold months, whether it's hung over a radiator, hung on a rack, or even outside on the balcony? Is there a washing machine feature that is rarely used, even though it could offer an incredible improvement in the winter?

Until December 31, get the top-of-the-line Huawei Watch GT 6 smartwatch with a special discount of 30 euros. This is a great opportunity to get yourself a technology that combines elegant design, advanced functionality and health care. At the same time, keep in mind that Huawei smartwatches are a highly desirable gift for your loved ones.
In a world where we thought ChatGPT was the only sheriff in town, Google just brought in a tank to the gunfight. Altman himself declared "Code Red." And believe me, the panic in Silicon Valley smells more like burning servers than morning coffee.
Imagine a new manufacturer suddenly entering the automotive world, offering the performance of a Bugatti, the comfort of a Rolls-Royce, and the price of... well, the price of a cup of coffee at the gas station. And you wouldn't need a driver's license to drive this vehicle, just one finger and a bit of imagination. That's exactly what happened in the music industry. While the great dinosaurs were squabbling over copyright, Suno AI was going full throttle. Rick Beato, the music guru, says the race is already over. And you know what? I think he's right. Buckle up.
Prophecies for 2026?! My dears, if you thought the last few years were like a bad episode of Black Mirror, sit back. Pour yourself a glass of that sinfully expensive wine you save for "special occasions," because if our favorite on-call doomsayers—Nostradamus and Baba Vanga—are to be believed, the year 2026 is going to be a very special occasion. I'm not going to lie to you, the predictions are a mix of a Hollywood blockbuster script and your worst nightmares, but hey, at least we won't be bored. Have the stars of prophecy really found a common denominator for the coming year? Spoiler alert: Yes, and it includes everything from eclipses to an invasion from the sky.
Admit it. You've been waiting for this. We've all been waiting. The moment when Sony finally stops "dosing" technology drop by drop and gives us in the "people's" class a tool that simply works. If you've been blaming your equipment for your blurry photos or your vlog looking like a security camera shot from 2005, I have bad news for you. As of yesterday, December 2, 2025, you've run out of excuses. The Sony Alpha 7 V is here and it's - without exaggeration - a technological show of strength packed into a body you can actually lift without needing a physiotherapist.
We've been waiting for it like children wait for presents, except that this holiday has been postponed for a whole decade. Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system is a revolution in the US, but a forbidden fruit in Europe. But the ice is finally breaking. With new regulations and testing on European soil, February 2026 looks like the moment when we'll finally hand over the wheel to silicon. Buckle up, we'll analyze the technology, bureaucratic obstacles and that strange feeling when the car knows where you're going better than you do. So - Tesla FSD and Europe.
Mercedes-Benz discontinued the G-Class Cabriolet in 2013, causing a silent mourning in the world of the ultra-rich. But in Bottrop, home to Brabus, the word "no way" is not familiar. They took the current AMG G 63, cut off the roof, added portal axles, and created something that is both an engineering marvel and a complete madness. Meet the Brabus XL 800 Cabrio.
The 1970s were a strange time. People wore pants they couldn't walk in, people smoked on airplanes, and car safety was a passing thought, somewhere between choosing the color of an ashtray and the type of leather. But it was in this chaos that BMW's Bob Lutz said, "Enough is enough," and started a factory racing team. The result? The machine you're looking at. This isn't just any old BMW. This is Genesis. This is "Patient Zero." The first M-badged car to ever hit the road. And now it can be yours. BMW 3.0 CSL Werks
CM - Auto Journalist Gem by me These are editorial instructions that I take deadly seriously. I have prepared an article that smells of petrol, leather and that special mix of Italian chaos and brilliance. Here it is. Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio 'Collezione': V-6 returns because electrics are not (yet) sexy enough Goodbye silence, hello Akrapovič and a cancelled funeral! We thought we had said goodbye. We prepared tissues, wrote a eulogy and sniffed the exhaust pipe one last time. But look at it, in typical Stellantis Group fashion, where decisions change faster than the weather in the mountains, Alfa Romeo has done a "salto mortale". The petrol engine is not dead. In fact, it is returning in its noblest form, to send shivers down our spines once more before the bureaucrats finally force us into silence. So the Quadrifoglio 'Collezione'.
When temperatures drop and virus lists become longer than the waiting list at the health center, our throats become the first battlefield. Sore, scratchy and sensitive - crying out for a quick fix. And while pharmacies offer an arsenal of throat lozenges, we often find ourselves with a taste for artificial flavoring and a suspiciously long list of ingredients that only a pharmacist with a PhD in chemistry would understand.
The Chinese horoscope 2026 reveals a year marked by energy, independence, change and speed – all characteristics of the Fire Horse, which will rule from February 17, 2026 to February 7, 2027. This is a year that will force us to move, be bold and make decisions that we may have been putting off for too long. In Chinese astrology, the Horse represents strength, determination and freedom – but when combined with the Fire element, we can also expect dramatic changes, emotional intensity and unexpected challenges.
On Thursday, December 4, we will see the Cold Moon - the last full moon of 2025. It is also a supermoon, which in the sign of Gemini brings conclusions, mental clarity, and a symbolic transition into the new year.
It's finally here - the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold. After months of rumors that were more unreliable than the weather forecast in April and concepts that looked like props from a Star Trek movie, Samsung has thrown its cards on the table. And not just any cards - they threw the entire deck. They've unveiled the Galaxy Z TriFold, their first tri-folding beast. Is this the engineering marvel we've been waiting for, or just a panicked response to Chinese dominance? Buckle up, we're in for a ride.
Crossovers. These days, they're like that pop song on every radio station - everyone has them, everyone drives them, and even if you secretly want an impractical Italian sports car, you'll probably end up buying an SUV. Why? Because they're practical, because they make you feel safe, and because, let's be honest, your spine isn't what it was in your twenties. But when it comes to your hard-earned money, it's not just how a car looks outside the local coffee shop that matters, it's whether it'll actually get you to work on a rainy Tuesday morning. Consumer Reports just dropped a truth bomb about which cars don't actually break down. Brace yourselves, the results are a slap in the face to European egos and a victory for Japanese engineering.

We live in a world where smartphones have become status symbols, as expensive as kidneys on the black market and as fragile as the ego of the average influencer. We pay a thousand euros and more for devices that we use mainly to watch cats on TikTok. And then there's the Xiaomi Poco F8 Pro. A phone that walks into a room, kicks the door off its hinges, throws 1,500 euros worth of specs on the table, and asks for a third of that amount with a smile. Is it the perfect phone? No. But it's the absolute wildest bargain of the year, one that will give CEOs in Cupertino and Seoul a headache.
Why does the Christmas cactus, which is supposed to be a symbol of the Christmas holidays, not show a single flower despite careful care? How is it possible that it is overwhelmed with flowers in the neighbor's house, while in the village it remains only a simple green plant without a single bud?
Why do some mothers seem extremely organized, while others are more relaxed and emotional? How is it that parenting styles vary so much, even though most want the same thing – to raise responsible, happy, and confident children? Is it possible that the month of birth plays a role? What kind of mother are you?
The dishwasher is flashing in your face, dirty plates are stacked like cards in a bad poker game, and you realize that the detergent bottle is... empty. It happens to the best of us. And since we live in a world where self-help is almost a life skill, it's nice to know that there's a solution that's faster than a walk to the nearest store - and without unnecessary chemicals. Then use this recipe for dishwasher detergent.
If you think vinegar is just for pickling pickles or salad dressing, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Distilled white vinegar is one of the most versatile natural household helpers – especially in the laundry room. While its smell may bring tears to many people’s eyes, vinegar has a veritable arsenal of properties that not only clean, but also restore textiles. And no – your clothes won’t smell like a salad bar in a 90s cafeteria after washing. The smell evaporates during the wash, leaving behind clean, soft and neutral laundry.
Admit it. We all have that moment of weakness, usually on a Friday night or after a sleepless night, when only one word comes to mind: kebab. But instead of waiting in line under neon lights with suspicious night owls, TikTok offers a solution that has taken the internet by storm - homemade kebab. Prepare your taste buds for a revolution happening in your oven.
If someone told you that a bottle of vodka could solve most everyday cleaning problems, you'd probably ask them if they'd poured too much. But surprisingly, vodka is the miracle elixir that cleaning professionals regularly use to remove stains, eliminate odors, clean glass, and even kill mold. And the best part? It does all of this without leaving behind a chemical smell or damaging delicate surfaces.
Admit it, we all have that jar of Vaseline gathering dust at the bottom of a drawer. It may seem too "grandma's" for your Instagrammable shelf, but the truth is: Vaseline is the "little black dress" of cosmetics. Unpretentious, always useful, and absolutely necessary. Before you spend half your salary on a new serum that promises eternal youth, read this. Your bathroom will turn into a mini laboratory, and your wallet will thank you. Get ready to glow!
If you think every tiramisu recipe is the same – a little coffee, a little mascarpone, a little nostalgia – then Jamie Oliver will gently but firmly prove you wrong. His version has become a true internet phenomenon this year, because he has elevated the classic dessert to a level where you can make it quickly, without complications and with a result that smells like it came straight from an Italian trattoria. And the best part? The whole process takes less time than it takes to wash the dishes after Sunday lunch.
Is it possible to fill your home with greenery even if you don't have time for constant care? Is it possible for plants to grow on their own, without daily watering? Why are some species so incredibly hardy, while others quickly die? The answer is simple: there are plants that you can almost forget about, and they will still grow.
Have you ever grabbed a freshly washed towel, held it to your face, and instead of smelling clean, you smelled musty? This is no coincidence. You didn't necessarily do anything wrong with your laundry—the real culprit is often the drying method. Moisture trapped in the fabric quickly becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, which quickly manifests as an unpleasant odor.
If balayage has been considered an untouchable classic for many years, 2026 will be a turning point. A technique that colorists have been describing for months as the next stage in the evolution of natural coloring is coming to the fore. Color melting – the blending of colors without visible boundaries – has already conquered the catwalks, red carpets and hairdressing conferences, where it is predicted that it will become the dominant trend.
SUNO AI is no longer just a music generation tool. It’s becoming a complete cloud studio that allows users to create, design, and enhance songs at a level that was reserved for professional producers just two years ago. But don’t be fooled — this isn’t just a technological innovation, it’s a cultural shift.
Humanity has always dreamed of flying. From Icarus, who had trouble melting wax, to us, who get stuck in endless columns of metal every morning and dream of the eject button. But what if I told you that the future is not in wings, but in something that looks like a floating game console? It is - the LEO Solo JetBike.
Elon Musk is like that friend who is always late for dinner, but when he finally arrives, he brings the best wine. It's November 2025. The year that, according to our spring predictions at City Magazine, was supposed to be a breakthrough year for "baby Tesla" is coming to an end. Let's remember: in March, we wrote that the "Model Q" (or Model 2, or even Model 1, as we affectionately called it in May) would hit the roads in June. What did we get? A cheaper Model 3 and a bunch of new promises about robotaxis. But don't be disappointed. Everything suggests that the delay was a tactical move of genius - or just chaos in Texas. Either way, 2026 is the year.
Most people put boring pieces of plastic on their desks that look like they were stolen from an accounting firm in the 1990s. And then there's GravaStar. A company that probably employs people who spent too much time playing Cyberpunk 2077 and not enough time in the fresh air. Their latest product, the Mercury V60 Pro Deluxe Edition keyboard, doesn't look like something you'd use to write your tax return. It looks like the trigger for an intercontinental rocket. And you know what? I love that.
Forget Alpine villages and Scandinavian streets – if you want to see cleanliness at its most raw, disciplined and almost robotically efficient, then you have to go to Singapore. It’s a place where you won’t find any rubbish even if you look for it with a magnifying glass and an augmented reality app. In 2025, this city-state – known for its futuristic architecture, gleaming facades and rare traffic jams – is once again officially declared the cleanest city in the world. And this is not according to some local committee for beautiful gardens, but according to a comprehensive international analysis carried out by the American company Eagle Dumpster Rental, in collaboration with the Numbeo, Atlas D-Waste and other data centres.
When your throat feels scratchy, irritated, and you can't help but want to "hrrrrm," you know it's cough season. And whether it's a cough caused by a cold, dry air, or the familiar autumn-winter classic "I caught a cold last night," finding the right solution can often be overwhelming. Pharmacies offer a wide range of syrups, but let's be honest: who still understands what "expectorant" means and why everything that helps a little has to be flavored with artificial cherry?
My people, the world is going crazy. Everyone is buying refrigerators on wheels that we call SUVs, and no one appreciates the wind in your hair, the smell of gasoline, and the feeling of your butt gliding just a few inches above the asphalt anymore. But before we finally turn off the lights and plug in, BMW is offering us one last, glorious “Auf Wiedersehen.” This is the BMW Z4 Final Edition 2026. And if you have even a little gasoline in your blood, you will stop scrolling through Instagram right now and start listening.
In a time when technology reigns in every corner of the home, we still try to hide it. Black speakers, impersonal lights and cables that we twist into a knot under the sofa. But IKEA says: enough of minimalist anonymity! In collaboration with Swedish color visionary Tekla Evelina Severin – better known as Teklan – they have created a collection that not only sounds good, but also looks fantastic.
The BMW X4 is saying goodbye, but don't mourn it too soon. Here comes the BMW iX4, built on the Neue Klasse platform, promising 345 kW of power, futuristic design, and that signature Bavarian arrogance we all secretly love.
Most cars smell like plastic or "new car" air fresheners. But this Porsche smells like success, Cuban cigars, and probably your lover's very expensive perfume. This isn't just a means of transportation; it's a 500-kilowatt living room. This is the Porsche Panamera Turbo Sonderwunsch.
The Italian masters of industrial minimalism have gone all the way this time. And a little more. Unimatic has collaborated with iconic Los Angeles boutique Maxfield to create a watch - the U3S-M, which is so black it absorbs light - and a significant chunk of your wallet.
When you buy a new iPhone 17, it's a familiar experience: you admire it like a newborn for the first 48 hours, then suddenly wake up to reality and realize—your shiny device could be even better. In 2025, accessories have evolved from "just protection" to "why didn't we have this before?!".
Land Rover has a relationship with the Dakar that resembles those long-running romances where everyone pretends to “get serious for once”. Range Rovers reigned supreme in the heyday of the Paris-Dakar Rally, and then decades of typical British tinkering followed: some factory support, some heroic privateers, some touching Race2Recovery stories… but never that grand, uncompromising comeback. This time - the Land Rover Defender D7X-R - the vehicle to win its category.
In a world where fashion collaborations compete weekly for the most outrageously “iconoclastic,” the Xbox × Crocs duo has hit the jackpot: they’ve created a clog-like version of the iconic Xbox controller—and in a way that’s both ironically fun and surprisingly polished. Yes, you read that right. Your feet have their own gamepad—the Xbox Classic Controller Clogs.
If anyone ever told you that shoes have to match, Puma has now confidently thrown that rule through an interdimensional portal. Their latest collaboration with LaMel Ball and Adult Swim's cult chaos Rick and Morty proudly defies symmetry - and in the most charmingly intergalactic way.
Honor has officially launched the Honor 500 series in Beijing, and at first glance it's clear where the design team has spent the last few months - apparently admiring the iPhone Air. But don't be fooled: the new series isn't just a facelift, it's packed with some serious tech goodies.
The European car market has experienced a symbolic, almost historic shift this year: plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) have overtaken diesel engines for the first time. While diesel was virtually untouchable a decade ago, today it ranks only fourth and seems to be rapidly creeping towards the periphery of the automotive world. In the first ten months of 2025, diesel's market share fell to just 8 percent, while PHEVs - Plug-in hybrids - are already reaching 9.4 percent and confidently taking over its former position.
So, if you've ever found yourself in that late December moment of panic – “What should I buy Aunt Milena, who already has everything?” – OpenAI has a new solution for you: shopping research. The feature is available to all ChatGPT users – free and paid – on mobile and web. Yes, even those with the basic version will have almost unlimited access – at least for the duration of the holiday shopping season (read: until we die under the weight of gift lists). So – ChatGPT will be your personal shopping advisor.
If you've ever stared at your carpet and wondered if that faint red wine stain is already a regular fixture in your living room, you're not alone. The carpets in our homes hide many stories—and even more stains. But instead of reaching for harsh industrial cleaners that smell like a chemical lab and irritate skin (not to mention animals), there's a natural and safe solution: a homemade carpet cleaner that actually works.
