A fridge or freezer is key in any household for keeping food safe and fresh at a cold temperature. There are plenty of issues that can occur when the appliances are much too cold such as spoiled food, increased electricity usage and earlier breakdowns. Noticing the indicators of overcooling speeds up corrective action.

In 2025, the USA witnessed a major shift in distracted driving law when 31 states, including the District of Columbia, enacted “no touch” or hands-free laws that ban drivers from holding or manually touching their phones while operating a vehicle. This is a sensible evolution from prior laws that amounted to only penalizing texting or phoning, with the emphasis being on the universal danger of any handheld phone use behind the wheel. They aim to reduce distraction by requiring the driver to have their phone on a mount and only interact with it through voice commands or the minimal tap-based input that does not entail removing one’s eyes from the road.
