For years, Apple has put a lot of effort into providing users with ways to extend their iPhone’s battery life. But while iOS slowly introduced more battery-management features for iPhone, Apple’s other big battery-powered device, the MacBook, was left behind. Lately, that’s changed. Today, Apple’s laptops, particularly those running macOS 26, offer numerous battery and charging management features that aim to keep your MacBook’s battery lasting as long as possible. Best of all, they work whether you have the most powerful MacBook Pro or Apple’s most affordable laptop, the MacBook Neo. Here’s how to extend battery life: Turn on Low…

Want more housing market stories from Lance Lambert’s ResiClub in your inbox? Subscribe to the ResiClub newsletter. Many of the softest housing markets, where homebuyers have gained the most leverage over the past four years since the pandemic housing boom ended, are located in Southern and Mountain West regions. Many of those areas were home to the nation’s top pandemic boomtowns, which experienced significant home price growth during the pandemic housing boom, stretching housing prices beyond local income levels. Once pandemic-fueled domestic migration slowed and mortgage rates spiked, markets like Punta Gorda, Florida, and Austin faced challenges as they had…
It was a bad week for AI’s public image. The concept was booed on mention at several commencement speeches, tarnished a literary prize, drove more layoffs, and tangled local politics in a number of data-center squabbles. A hyped new book about AI’s impact on “truth” was dragged for including fake quotes made up by AI. Pope Leo XIV’s forthcoming encyclical will concern “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence,” Vatican News reported. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen something intensify this quickly,” mused one of the researchers behind a recent poll from Stanford University and the University…
The old adage goes that during a boom, the companies that profit most are the ones selling the picks and shovels. This January, even as consensus had largely settled around the idea that an AI bubble exists, something even Sam Altman acknowledged last August, Blackstone called investing in the “picks and shovels” of AI a “generational” opportunity. The safer bet, we’re told, lies not in the models themselves but in AI’s physical infrastructure: data centers, chips, and electricity. “The Real AI Talent War Is for Plumbers and Electricians,” declared a January headline in Wired. Of the major players in artificial…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Stablecoin checkout reduces payment friction, but trust gaps still kill conversions and customer confidence. Clear identity, refund policies and support matter more than faster blockchain payment rails. Stablecoin adoption succeeds when businesses prioritize transparency, security and operational credibility before integration. Founders love the idea of instant cross-border settlement and zero chargebacks. The appeal is obvious. You integrate a new payment API, bypass traditional banking fees and open your business to a global audience. But there is a fundamental misunderstanding about what actually stops a user from completing a purchase. It…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Many entrepreneurs experience a moment when their company reaches peak value. The challenge is that the moment rarely lasts long, and most founders don’t recognize it while they’re still inside it.Many founders assume value builds in a straight line. You grow revenue, scale operations and eventually sell at the top. It sounds rational, but that belief causes many entrepreneurs to hold on too long. Timing drives a significant portion of enterprise value, and timing is influenced just as much by market conditions as by execution.I’ve experienced both sides of this. I’ve exited…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways AI now shapes first impressions before buyers ever visit your website or marketing materials. Category-level AI answers matter more than branded searches when buyers evaluate potential solutions. Earned media and third-party validation increasingly determine how AI systems describe your company. Your company now has a second reputation: the one AI explains to buyers when they ask about your category. Most founders have never seen it.For years, I watched founders obsess over the homepage like it was the front door to the company. Then it was the pitch deck. Then the…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Small, seemingly harmless frictions — manual approvals, outdated processes, unnecessary handoffs — quietly compound into the biggest barrier to scale. The companies that win aren’t the ones adding more control, but the ones designing systems that create trust, security and speed without slowing everything down. Most companies don’t fail in one dramatic moment. They stall quietly.Growth slows not because of a single bad decision, but because of hundreds of tiny delays that compound over time. A manual approval here. A clunky check-in there. A physical key that someone has to…
Key Takeaways Meta’s former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, told Gen Z graduates in a recent commencement speech to abandon rigid 10-year career plans. Instead of a detailed roadmap, she says young people need two things: a clear short-term direction and a broader long-term dream for the life they want. She warned that overplanning can backfire, causing graduates to miss unexpected opportunities. Sheryl Sandberg says that the traditional advice to choose a job, map each promotion and plot out where you will be in 10 years no longer fits today’s world. The former chief operating officer of Meta recently told…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Most companies treat resilience as something you demonstrate in a crisis. In reality, by the time a crisis arrives, the outcome is already in motion. Systems, leadership and culture are either built for pressure — or they are not. Across high-growth companies, turnarounds and startups, the same pattern shows up: the organizations that navigate disruption best are not improvising in the moment. They are executing on foundations built when conditions were stable. Here is what they do differently.They design for flexibility — not just efficiencyLeadership teams often say they value adaptability, but…
