As a writer, I know how important using the right words is, but with over 170,000 words in the English language, and we most certainly aren’t using them all to their full potential. Enter Wordela: a vocabulary builder software that utilizes artificial intelligence to help you improve your spelling, communication, and overall language. Also: How my 4 favorite AI tools help me get more done at workThe software normally costs $324 for a lifetime subscription, but right now, you can save 96% to get Wordela for just $10 with this Stack Social deal, right in time for back-to-school season. Wordela generates detailed lessons using technology combining AI, learning algorithms, and a 520-million-word linguistic corpus to help anyone improve their vocabulary. There are also curated lists for everything from kindergarten to twelfth-grade standardized tests to lists for business communication and life success and more, as well as smart flashcards curated to your specific learning style.I tested out the Wordela app, and even as someone who works with words daily, I was impressed to see the words I did not regularly utilize in my writing. Wordela allowed me to learn new words to use not only in my articles, but in writing emails as well. I especially liked how I could make my own lists with words I can use for tech articles vs. words for emails vs. words for longer feature stories. I could also see Wordela being a helpful tool to those new to learning English or to those whose second language is English, since Wordela also has an advanced pronunciation audio guide. For $10, you can get a lifetime subscription to Wordela to improve your comprehension of the English language — no matter your age, profession, or your native language. More

If the primary buds are destroyed by frost, secondary buds may grow, but they typically […] More

Data hounds will love the extensive customization options for each display on the watch, so as you participate in your sport, you are sure to find the data you need by scrolling automatically or manually with a press of a button. Despite being released in late 2022, the Garmin Enduro 2 keeps finding its way back on my wrist in large part due to its fantastic battery life, large size, comfortable band, and reliable performance. I have been running, hiking, fly fishing, walking, biking, sleeping, and living with the Enduro 2 since I started testing it nearly two years ago. Brilliant AMOLED displays on other watches shine brightly and catch my attention for a few weeks, but charging up my watch once or twice a month is a convenience I am not ready to give up for anything else.Also: Garmin Enduro 2 reviewThe Enduro 2 connects seamlessly to Android and iOS smartphones too, in addition to golf club sensors, bike sensors, and more.

Verified reviews from both Amazon and Walmart both praise the accuracy of the Equinox 800, many showing off photos of some pretty cool finds like coins, jewelry, and even a few die-cast metal toys.

Jack Wallen/ZDNETBack in my early days of Linux, the terminal was a necessity. Now, the GUIs are so advanced, user-friendly, and powerful, that you could go your entire Linux career and never touch a terminal window.But when you do need to dive into those commands, you’ll want a terminal app that’s better than the stock default your distribution most likely uses.Fortunately, there are plenty of options, and here are my five favorites (all of which are free and can be installed from your distribution’s default repositories).Also: 10 things I always do immediately after installing Linux – and why1. GuakeGuake is just cool. It’s a drop-down terminal client that, when you hit F12 on your keyboard, will roll down from the top of your display. When you’re done, hit F12 again and it’ll hide itself away until you need it next. Guake is also highly configurable. You can tweak the startup and tabs, the main window, the shell, scrolling, the appearance, keyboard shortcuts, quick open, hooks, and compatibility. Guake includes transparency, theming, shell selection, and much more. What I really like about Guake is that it’s always at the ready. Just hit the keyboard shortcut and it’s there. Instead of having to add yet another icon to your favorites (or on the desktop), keep it clean while still retaining easy access to your terminal app. More
