While we in Slovenia are passionately polishing the brass on the Titanic and fighting over deck chairs, Silicon Valley has long since switched to the Enterprise and turned on warp drive. Biology is becoming software, aging is just a "bug" in the code, and in the meantime we are collecting corks and waiting three years for an inspection, convinced that the pinnacle of civilization is a properly completed travel order. Read why most of our jobs today are just shuffling digital paper before extinction and why what is coming is not just a storm, but a completely new climate in which you will be wet to the bone without an umbrella. We are at the point of the singularity of progress - let me explain.
You know that moment when you open your closet and it hits you – not with freshness, but with a mustiness, as if you’ve just stepped into the attic of an old aunt who hasn’t known about air fresheners for a decade? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. The smell that builds up in enclosed spaces like closets, drawers and even shoe racks isn’t necessarily a sign of neglect, but a natural result of humidity, poor ventilation and aging fabrics. It’s time to get to know cinnamon spray.
WC-školjka
Orange stains in your toilet bowl aren’t just an aesthetic nuisance, they’re often a sign of hard water, mineral buildup, and poor cleaning. This stubborn ring usually appears at the waterline, where iron, manganese, and other minerals build up. While it’s not a health hazard, it’s anything but pleasant to look at—especially if you’re expecting guests and your bathroom serves as the mirror of your household.
Let's be honest. We all love that feeling when we pull something golden, shiny, and heavy with Dior on it out of our purse. It instantly makes us feel like our lives are running according to the script of the TV series Emily and Paris. But, let's be even more honest - spending 40 euros and more on a mixture of sugar and Vaseline is a financial masochism that we will hardly be able to afford in 2026 (you know, inflation and the need for martinis). So the only solution is a DIY lip scrub.
The mattress is an often overlooked casualty of our daily lives. It spends every night with us in all our physical and emotional states – from sweating to catching a cold, from breakfasts in bed to late-night Netflix marathons. Yet we pay it less attention than we do our sofa or our car. The result? Accumulation of dust, sweat, stains, unpleasant odors and (we won’t spoil it) a few bacteria and dust mites.
I bet you 100 euros that you're reading this on your phone when you should be doing something else. Maybe you're at work, maybe you're on the toilet, maybe your kid is drawing on the wall in the corner of the room and you're too busy scrolling to notice. Don't worry, you're not alone. You're just another lab rat in the biggest experiment in human history. And spoiler alert: you're losing
Red Bull RB17
If you've spent the last few years believing that the pinnacle of automotive evolution is the quiet hum of a two-ton electric crossover that parks itself outside a shopping mall, please sit down. Maybe pour yourself a glass of something strong. What you're looking at is not a car. This is the Red Bull RB17. It's a mechanical middleman to all emissions regulations, pedestrian safety systems and logic in general. It's the legendary Adrian Newey's last act at Red Bull before he left for Aston Martin, and it looks like he wanted to go out with a bang. Literally. It's a track-only monster that promises Formula 1 lap times, but without the need for a team of twenty engineers to crank the engine. Well, almost.
Kuhl Toyota Land Cruiser 250
Modern SUVs have become as exciting as hot water. They're all safe, they're all "eco," they all have touchscreens the size of your living room, and they're all designed to get Andreja to school safely without spilling her oat-milk latte. And then there's the Toyota Land Cruiser 250. It's basically a car that says, "Fuck, I'm a blockhead and I'm proud of it." But for Japanese tuning house Kuhl Racing, that wasn't enough. They decided to turn this decent SUV into something Darth Vader would drive if he moved to the countryside and started illegally logging. Introducing the Kuhl Land Cruiser 250 "Blocker Iron Build."
mojstrska števila
Have you ever wondered why you feel a little "different"? That you're not just interested in everyday things, but that you're drawn somewhere deeper - in search of meaning, ideas, vision? If your destiny number according to numerology is 11, 22 or 33, then this may not be just a coincidence. These are so-called master numbers - special frequencies that the Universe supposedly distributes to those who have a slightly more demanding (but also more inspiring) task in this life. Yes, you read that right: in this life. Numerology assumes that you are here for a reason - and that your birth number says something about it.
When the days get shorter, the mornings become foggy and the chill in the air gets that characteristic “winter bite”, we are awakened by the need for warmth – not only in the form of a scarf and tea, but also on a plate. In such moments, we remember dishes that not only fill us up, but also caress the soul. One such culinary embrace comes straight from the Austrian Alps – Kaiserschmarrn. But not the kind from a bag or the one from a tourist hut with questionable raisins. We are talking about the home-made version from the oven, which with its golden-brown crust and soft interior turns winter evenings into little sweet holidays.
Nvidia AlphaMo
Nvidia has unveiled something that sounds like the name of a new washing powder – Nvidia Alpamayo. But it’s the first AI for autonomous driving that doesn’t just follow the rules, but actually thinks. Leave that aside for a moment. The car will “think” about its next move. That means the average new car on the road will soon have a higher IQ than the average road user. And, most frighteningly, it will probably have more ethics, too.
If the thought of cleaning your oven makes your eyelids twitch, you're not alone. It's understandable - dried-on grease, burnt-on food residue, and stubborn stains are usually accompanied by the suffocating smell of store-bought cleaners, which makes you feel like you're cleaning your oven with rocket fuel. And after every third swipe with the sponge, you're already out of breath like you've just finished a workout. And that's for results that often aren't particularly impressive.
Atlas
Forget flying cars and smart refrigerators that judge you for your midnight snacks. At CES 2026, Hyundai just did something we've been waiting for decades, but also a little afraid of. They brought the new Atlas. Not the kind that parkours in YouTube videos, but one that's ready to go. It walks like a human, lifts like an Olympian, and picks itself up off the ground in a way that would send an exorcist fleeing. The new Atlas is here, and it's ready to take on the heavy lifting—literally.
If you have a carpet at home, then you know – it’s not a question of if, but when it will experience its first stain. Coffee, wine, baby soda or a dog’s “greeting” after a long walk – carpets are a daily scene for accidents. And when that happens, the first thought is often: “Where is that expensive cleaner I bought once and never used?” Well, good news – there is a better (and significantly cheaper) solution. A homemade, effective and proven mixture that can do more than many industrial cleaners – homemade carpet cleaner.
We all want laundry that is not only clean, but also soft, pleasantly scented and, increasingly important, safe for the skin and the planet. But most commercial fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain chemicals that can be irritating, environmentally harmful, and leave a lot of plastic packaging behind. If you've ever wondered how you could make your laundry room more natural, eco-friendly, and elegantly simple, we've got a recipe so ingeniously simple you'll want to share it with every eco-soul in your life.
Alergen Alert
Imagine sitting at a restaurant. The waiter assures you that there are no peanuts in the sauce, but you see that blank look in his eyes that says, "I have no idea what's in that sauce, all I know is that it was heated in the microwave." For most people, this is just poor service. For people with allergies, it's a game of Russian roulette with a loaded revolver. But at CES 2026, we saw a device - the Allergen Alert Mini Lab - that ends that game.
Ram 1500 SRT TRX
Just when we were getting used to the idea that the automotive future would sound like a broken smoothie blender and that big V8s were the stuff of history textbooks, Ram did something wonderful. Something completely irrational. After two years of silence, they opened the doors of Jurassic Park and let the beast off the chain. The 2027 Ram 1500 SRT TRX is back and, honestly, the Raptor R needs to start shaking.
Have you ever experienced that wonderful moment when you press the windshield wiper button on a cold winter morning… and nothing happens? No jet dance, no refreshment – just frozen silence and manually scraping the ice with a tissue, like in some poorly directed iced tea commercial. Ironic, considering that a week ago you happily bought a windshield wiper cleaner for the price of a solid lunch, with the cute name “Alpine Freshness”, which was – hand in hand – as fresh as last year’s snow.
It's true, rubbing your fingers across a glass surface feels about as natural as trying to play the piano on a tablet. It works, but it's soulless. For nearly two decades, we've pretended to like it when autocorrect turns meaningful messages into complete nonsense. But the solution is here. The Clicks Communicator isn't just a phone; it's a rebellion against the tyranny of touchscreens. And a phone for old farts.
A fur hood is often the last line of defense against the wind in winter – and one of the most underrated. We wear it automatically, as a fashionable “frame” for our face, and then we wonder why our cheeks, ears and neck are still cold. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that such edges were created for a very practical reason: to survive the cold, not to get likes on Instagram.
Let's be politically incorrect, but brutally honest, because we don't have time for deception anymore. For all of you who still believe that we will solve the future with circles where we all sit in a circle and pass around a "talking stick", I have bad news for you. In the world of artificial intelligence (AI), democracy as we know it in old, tired Europe is dead. They just haven't told it yet. Dictatorship is the new black... Let me explain!
2035
I wake up in 2035 in a world where artificial intelligence has taken over virtually every task we once called “work.” Since that pivotal year of 2026, when AI became a globally recognized tool (and almost a family member), things have only gone up—exponentially up. The result? Today, I have more time as an editor than ever before, as journalism and digital media have changed beyond recognition, and in many places, have simply disappeared into oblivion. My role as an editor has gone from “the one who works late into the night on deadlines” to “the one who gets up in the morning in his pajamas and directs robots and thinks about the meaning of life over coffee.”
TVS Aegis Rider Vision Helmet:
Let's be honest: until yesterday, motorcycle navigation seemed like a scene from a comedy of errors. You have three options: either tape a phone to your handlebars and it shakes like it's cold; listen to a voice in your earpiece yelling "TURN LEFT NOW" at 130 km/h when you're already past an exit; or use the old method - stopping at every other intersection and arguing with your passenger. But now the Swiss and Indians have come up with a solution that looks like it was stolen from Tony Stark's lab. It's the TVS Aegis Rider Vision Helmet.
Forget Agatha Christie and the dark intrigues of sleeping cars; the Orient Express is taking to the seas and, let’s face it, Hercule Poirot would happily wet his waxed moustache with this luxury. Introducing the Corinthian, a sea monster of sophistication that promises to completely shatter your previous notion of a cruise – the one with the bad buffet and the crowded pool. Is it a sailboat? Is it a superyacht? Is it a floating hotel that’s more chic than your apartment? Is it all of these. Get your sunglasses and credit cards ready.
Welcome to Las Vegas, the only city in the world where your TV is smarter than your dog and your phone costs more than your first Honda Civic. Las Vegas. A city of sin that once a year becomes a place of circuits, soldering, and promises that rarely come true. We're on the cusp of CES 2026 (Consumer Electronics Show), and if you thought the tech industry had reached its peak with smart wine stoppers, you'd be wrong. This year, it's all about robots that are finally going to save us from housework and screens so bright you'll need sunglasses in your own living room. Elvis may have left the building, but artificial intelligence has entered—and this time it has arms, legs, and probably a better sense of fashion than you.
It appears suddenly. While you're brushing your teeth or looking for your slippers under the bed, a creature with more legs than you can count darts past you. Although centipedes aren't dangerous—they don't carry diseases, they don't bite your furniture, and they're generally not interested in you—their speed, their unusual shape, and, above all, the fact that we never expect them, make us uneasy.

Stickers on glass jars, vases, candlesticks or bottles are almost always a promise of disappointment. When the paper finally comes off, it leaves behind a sticky memory that cannot be washed off with plain water and instantly ruins the appearance of otherwise perfectly clean glass. Such residue is a magnet for dust, grease and fingerprints – and suddenly a beautiful decorative piece looks neglected.
White towels are a symbol of cleanliness, elegance and timeless style in the bathroom. They are like a hotel luxury that we can also afford at home – until they are destroyed by time and improper maintenance. They absorb moisture, come into contact with the skin, with residues of cosmetics, make-up and detergents, and at the same time often dry in less than ideal conditions. The result? Discoloration, unpleasant odor, hardness of the material and loss of that desired softness that we have towels for in the first place.

Mold in the apartment is something that most people experience at least once in their lives – and almost no one forgets. When those ominous black or green stains appear on the wall, it's not a pleasant feeling. First comes denial ("it's just a shadow"), then the Googling phase ("is this dangerous?!"), and finally - if we're lucky - action. The good news? In most cases, mold can be successfully removed on our own, without calling a biohazard team. Let's take a look at how to remove mold.
Cold legs, cold feet have a strange way of appearing when we least expect them. In a warm apartment, in the middle of the day, when there is absolutely no reason for the body to be cold. At first we ignore them. Then they become a constant. And somewhere in the background, the question begins to arise whether it is really just a sensitivity to cold or whether the body is trying to tell us something more.
You were gone when the world turned to silence and darkness. You left just when I needed closeness the most. Why? The question has no immediate answers, but it opens up space for reflection. This space was empty for a long time, but it was in this emptiness that something new began. From absence, strength was born. From silence, a voice was formed. From abandonment, an independence emerged, which today does not need confirmation from outside.

In February, I'm going to Zagreb to test Tesla's FSD (Full Self-Driving) - what I've been waiting for since the legendary Knight Rider series. A car that finally drives itself. Remember when I wrote a few days ago that Porsche is dead? Many of you jumped into the air, saying that I have no idea about "driving pleasure" and "the smell of gasoline". Let me explain why the reason for the death of this icon is not that they don't know how to build a good chassis. The reason is that their business model has become irrelevant - completely overrun. Porsche sells you the illusion that you are a racer. Tesla sells you the truth: that you are completely unnecessary as a driver. Let me explain. Why your grandchildren will view driving as horse riding.
Let's face it, Lexus is a brand for people who order room temperature water at a restaurant. They're reliable, comfortable, and as quiet as a librarian in slippers. But every now and then, something strange happens in the basement of a Toyota factory. Engineers apparently break into the sake cabinet, watch too many episodes of "The Fast and the Furious," and create something that makes no sense at all, but is also absolutely fantastic. Introducing the Lexus RZ 600e F SPORT Performance. A car that looks like it wants to beat your Tesla on the school playground. And guess what? It might even succeed.
In a world where smartphones have become boring slabs of glass, distinguishable only by how prominently their cameras protrude, Xiaomi has just thrown a hand grenade into a room full of engineers. The new Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition is more than just a phone. It's proof that someone in Beijing is actually listening to our nagging and is daring to make something that's both completely insane and absolutely brilliant.
After the holidays, a lot changes. Not just your schedule, but also how your body feels. Clothes feel a little tighter, your thoughts slow down, and motivation doesn’t come naturally. Although the holiday season is meant to be enjoyable, it often leaves you feeling like you need to “fix” something. In reality, your body doesn’t need punishment, but clear, calm signals to get back to normal.
The new year hasn't even really begun yet, but the energies are already shifting. Something in the air suggests that for many, the direction of life will change faster than they dare to admit. January 1st is not just a symbolic date – it triggers a powerful Mercury transit, bringing not only new ideas, but also concrete breakthroughs, decisions, and unexpected opportunities.
A new year, a new chance to fall in love again, get rich... or at least remember to pay for your dental insurance. The 2026 horoscope offers a comprehensive look at the astrological shifts that will mark your personal orbit - from matters of the heart to your bank balance (and your head). Are you ready for a year when Saturn will no longer be the main culprit for your confusion, but will - surprise! - actually be your zodiac sign?
Numerology Forecast for 2026: The year 2026 carries the vibration of the number 1 – a year of the birth of new stories, new decisions, and new personal power. The universal year of the number 1 has the symbolism of first-born energy — something that only happens in life at the beginning of major cycles. Therefore, the year 2026 is not just a new year; it is a new era.
