Stock Android added the concept of App Pairs back in Android 15. You choose two apps to use in split screen mode, add a shortcut to the paired apps to the home screen, and it’s now trivially easy to trigger split screen multitasking (instead of having to perform multiple tap and drag gestures).It sounds neat, but I never really used it, because on my small Pixel 9a, using apps in 50:50 split-screen mode is hardly user-friendly. There’s just not enough room on the screen for each app to take up half of it and still be usable. But that changed…

Growing up in Colorado, I’ve skied my entire life. On a perfect day, with sunny skies above and inches of powder below, there’s nothing better. Or, maybe, there is. The only feeling that rivals such a perfect moment is a few hours later, when I can finally take off my ski boots. After a day of cold toes, bruised shins and limited movement, bliss is too tame a word to describe the freedom of being able to move my ankles easily again. Normally, I slip on running shoes because they fit inside a locker. But after asking my father-in-law—a podiatrist…
Countertop toaster ovens are truly an unappreciated part of modern life.
