    Solid Explorer Beta is a Beautiful, Feature-Rich Android File Browser

    Android: There's no shortage of file browsers available for Android, but Solid Explorer Beta has raised the bar with a gorgeous UI and pro level features.

    Inside the app you'll find a convenient dual-panel view with drag and drop support, an FTP client for file sharing, and ZIP, TAR, and RAR support, as well as handy features like indexed Dropbox searching and root file access. The ability to search by file type and specify filters is also a huge time saver.

    What really sets Solid Explorer apart though is its beautiful design. Lists scroll smoothly, thumbnails load quickly, and the menus are easy to navigate. Solid Explorer Beta is free and compatible with Android 2.2 and above.

  • Top 10 Ways to Beat the Heat

    In Lifehacker Top 10, Beat The Heat, Summer, Heat, Cool, Sleep, Sleeping, Comfort, Hot, Temperature, Health, Safety, Cars, Hot Car, Feature, / 26 May 2012 / 0 comments

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the HeatThe heat is back. Summer is coming. The sun is out to get you—but don't lose hope. Here are our top 10 ways to beat the heat.

    10. Ignore the Temperature

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the HeatHeat fatigue might all be in your head. A study tested cyclists in different temperatures and found that the only ones who actually experienced heat fatigue were the ones who knew how hot it was. If you don't know, you don't really suffer from fatigue. Whether you're riding your bike or just walking around, avoid any instincts to check the temperature. If you don't know how hot it is, you'll probably feel better.

    9. Keep Drinks Cooler by Freezing Water in Milk Containers

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the HeatWhen you're bringing cold drinks out to the beach, the pool, the yard, the edge of a hellscape, or any other sunny outdoor area, you want them to actually stay cold. Ice does the trick, but transporting tons of ice can be a pain. Instead of buying bags of the stuff, just save some old milk cartons, fill them up with water, and freeze them. Because they're blocky they fit nicely in the cooler. If you need smaller blocks, just peel off the carton and crush the ice a bit. It's an easier and cheaper solution.

    8. Hydrate Any Way You Can

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the HeatThe are a lot of hydration myths—like drinking soda doesn't help you at all or if you feel thirsty you're already dehydrated—and we've busted most of them. Water will often be your best bet when you need to stay hydrated, but it isn't your only option. If you only have soda or a sports drink, it can still help. You also don't need to drink eight glasses of whatever every single day. Just drink whenever you're thirsty and you should be in pretty good shape.

    7. Beat the Bugs

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the HeatWhen the heat wave comes, bugs often come with it. If you want to avoid these insects, there are quite a few things you can do. First, you want to make sure you're buying DEET-based bug spray because it's the most effective. You can also save yourself some cash by making your own citronella candles, outdoor torches, and bug traps. You can even ward off ants with chalk. So long as you're prepared, you shouldn't be bothered too much by the bugs.

    6. Get the Hot Air Out of Your Car Fast

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the Heat Every year I forget that leaving my car out in the sun makes the entire thing hot to the touch, which is especially unpleasant when you're not expecting it. While cooling off a hot car is always going to take a little time, there's a Japanese trick to get the stuffy air out fast. Basically, you open two parallel doors on your car, then open and close one of those doors repeatedly about five times. This pushes the warm air out and the cool air in. It's a really clever trick that only takes a minute. Just make sure you don't accidentally shut your hand in the door.

    5. Stay Cool While You Sleep

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the HeatWhen you're asleep, you can't actively combat the heat. You also probably have a tough time getting to sleep when you're overheating as it is. There are plenty of ways to stay cool at night so you can sleep comfortably despite the heat. For example, you can build your own air conditioner (or use an alternative method), get a cooling pillow like the Chillow, and put your sheets in the fridge before bedtime. Trial and error will decide which methods work best for you, but all will get you closer to a cool night's rest.

    4. Keep Your Computer Cool

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the HeatAn overheating computer is a fire hazard. It's very important to keep it cool, especially in hot weather. If you don't have the best cooling system on your machine—especially if your home isn't air conditioned—you're going to want to look at getting a better one. The upcoming heat is also a great excuse to go inside your desktop and start blowing out all the dust. A cleaner computer will run a bit cooler, and it'll help you avoid a fire starting inside your case. For more tips and details on everything you need to do, check out our complete guide to keeping your computer cool.

    3. Use the Heat to Your Advantage

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the Heat When you know how heat works, you can use it to your advantage. To do that, all you really need is a basic understanding of thermodynamics. Then you'll know how to use heat to open jars more easily, how to dress to stay cooler, and how to keep your house from turning into an oven. It's science you can use!

    2. Understand Sun Screen

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the HeatSunscreen doesn't actually work the way you think. First of all, most of them don't do anything and so you're wasting your time. If you're not buying a sunscreen that contains both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, you're wasting your money. You also need to make sure you understand what an SPF rating is. SPF isn't like a sunscreen power level, but rather what determines how long the sunscreen will last before you need to reapply it. To better-understand SPF and learn about how sunscreen actually works, check out this infographic.

    1. Learn Your Body's Cooling Spots for Temperature Reduction on the Quick

    Top 10 Ways to Beat the Heat We all know that cooling off involves coming into contact with something cooler than ourselves (like The Fonz), but that personal temperature reduction can happen a lot faster if you know your body's quick cooling spots. Your neck and wrists are two of the best, but the top of your feet and insides of your ankles work, too (plus a few others). Just focus your ice pack, or whatever you're using too cool yourself, on those areas and you'll beat the heat in no time.

  • Do Some Serious Relaxing This Weekend

    In Weekendhacker, Relaxation, Sleep, Exercise, Weekend, Weekend Project, Sleeping, Comfort, Hot, Temperature, Health, Safety, Cars, Hot Car, Feature, / 25 May 2012 / 0 comments

    Do Some Serious Relaxing This WeekendYou've had a long week at work and three full days to relax your stress away. Here are some ways to get the most out of your relaxation this weekend.

    Consider Going Off the Grid

    Do Some Serious Relaxing This WeekendWhether you can't pull yourself away from work or you're just starting to feel phantom vibrations from your phone, it may be time to take a little break from technology. As much as it can make our lives easier, it can also cause a lot of stress, so if you really want to get the most of your relaxation this weekend, consider putting the phone away for awhile—or at least turning off your notifications.

    On the flipside, there are a lot of cool ways that technology can help you relax, and we'll be mentioning some of them in this post. It's up to you whether you want to go off the grid or not—everyone's different, and if technology isn't the root of your stress, you might be fine keeping it on and making use of some of these tools.

    Get the Best Sleep of Your Life

    Do Some Serious Relaxing This WeekendNapping is, of course, one of our favorite ways to relax. We've shown you how to make the most of your naps, master the power nap, or even reboot your brain with a caffeine nap. Looking for the perfect time to squeeze in a few Zs? Calculate the best time with this interactive map wheel.

    If you're having trouble sleeping, this is a great weekend to reboot your sleep cycle and start getting the rest you deserve. You can do this on your own, but we've also found certain tech gadgets to be pretty useful, not to mention a few smartphone apps, too.

    Exercise Your Way to Tranquility

    Do Some Serious Relaxing This WeekendExercise is obviously a great way to relieve stress, but if you're looking to do something a bit more physical without an intense workout, we've got solutions for that too. Try relaxing with our guide to meditation for the rest of us, or finding a good yoga style that fits your needs. Throw some tech into the mix with apps like Breathing Zone and Buddhify if you feel like you need a bit of extra help, but again, they're far from necessary to get the full benefits of these exercises.

    Take On a Relaxing Weekend Project

    Do Some Serious Relaxing This WeekendOf course, some of us just can't stand doing nothing—we want to do the stuff we love! We've got all the guides you could possibly need for kicking back with a few video games or some light reading, but if you want to get a bit more involved you can learn a new skill, finally ditch cable TV, or even hack your gadgets and void some warranties. Take a look back at our Weekendhacker archives for any weekend-long projects you may have missed, and take this long weekend to do a little catch up. Just make sure you're ready to hit the ground running when you get back to work! Photo by Chris Isherwood.

    Got any other great relaxation techniques you're going to put into practice this weekend? Share them with us in the comments.

  • How to Combat the Most Common Symptoms of Being Overworked

    In Burnout, Overworked, Work, Sleep, Health, Body, Stress, Office, Job, Vacation, Health, Safety, Cars, Hot Car, Feature, / 16 May 2012 / 0 comments

    How to Combat the Most Common Symptoms of Being OverworkedBusiness Insider put together a list of statistics about how Americans are ridiculously overworked, and it's kind of depressing. Identifying the problem is important, but you won't be any less burnt out by knowing you're in good company. Here's how you can combat the most common symptoms of being overworked.

    "39 percent of people work more than a typical workweek (40 hours)"

    How to Combat the Most Common Symptoms of Being OverworkedIf you're working more than 50 hours a week, you may have a problem. Anyone in this situation is likely to feel this if they don't know it outright. If you're not doing it because you're passionate about your job, too many hours in the office is bad for you. So what do you do about it? Prioritize. If you're working too much, talk to your boss about how you can work less. This might involve taking a pay cut or losing vacation time, so figure out what you can sacrifice and bring it to the table. Don't present the issue like you're telling a loved one you have cancer—you want this to be a positive thing. You don't feel you're being as productive as you can be because too many hours are burning you out. Tell your boss you want to work out a plan for you to work less, feel better, and perform better. If you've got a boss you can trust and cares about your well-being, they'll at least be willing to entertain the idea. If not, you might want to consider looking for another job that understands more hours doesn't necessarily equal more productivity.

    "The average American gets 90 minutes less sleep than they should, and the number of sleep disorders has skyrocketed in recent years"

    How to Combat the Most Common Symptoms of Being OverworkedSleeping is tough. Even if you fall asleep easily, stay asleep at night, and wake up when you want to in the morning, you still have to manage to go to bed on time. I had such a problem with this that I had to institute a "no work rule" an hour before I wanted to be in bed. Because I'm utilizing Seinfeld's productivity secret to get more done, I don't get to check a box off on my calendar if I don't go to bed on time and I end up breaking my chain of productivity. If there's a consequence for going to bed too late—aside from feeling unrested and awful in the morning—it'll help you actual bother to try and fall asleep when you're supposed to. I leave an hour open because I like to take that time to relax.

    But what if you're just not sleeping well? First of all, you have to figure out why. Sometimes it's stress-related and sometimes you have an actual sleep issue. Sleep technology can help, but you may need to see your doctor to help you figure it out. Once you know your issues, check out our guide to resolving common sleep problems so you can start getting the rest you need.

    "69 percent of employees report that work is a significant source of stress and 41 percent say they typically feel tense or stressed out during the workday"

    How to Combat the Most Common Symptoms of Being OverworkedStress sucks, and all of us suffer from it at one point or another. When you're overworked, it's hard to let go of that stress and it often tends to build up. First of all, it helps to understand how stress works, but ultimately you just need to figure out how to relax. Simple breathing exercises help. You can even do them with your computer (OS X-only). Meditation and yoga are also very helpful, and you don't have to adopt their associated lifestyles to participate. You may find that just taking a walk by yourself for a good 30 minutes can make a difference. The important thing is you find activities that help you relax and let your brain turn off—and don't involve watching television or mindlessly surfing the web.

    "An astonishing 39 percent of employees feel rage at their coworkers - and 34 percent resent their coworkers for working less than they do"

    Don't hate your coworkers. Just because you're doing more work doesn't necessarily better. If you're reading this post, it probably means you're worse off because you're burning out. If you have a truly problematic coworker who isn't pulling their weight, it's best to use compassion when dealing with them. If you need to complain to someone else, we've got a guide for that. Essentially what you want to do is try to talk to them about the issue yourself as calmly as possible, expressing concern that others might care about their lack of effort from what you've heard. If you don't get anywhere that way, talk to the least powerful manager above your coworker and let them take the issue up the ladder. In general, though, workers doing less than you doesn't mean they're necessarily slacking off. Just because you work really hard doesn't mean they're not doing enough.

    "36 percent of Americans don't plan to use all of their vacation days"

    How to Combat the Most Common Symptoms of Being OverworkedThe majority of Lifehacker readers feel guilty about taking vacation and nearly the same amount didn't use all the days they earned. For many of us, not using a vacation day means it just expires. Not everyone gets to cash them out and take money instead. The solution to this problem is pretty simple: take your freakin' vacation. Only you can get yourself over the guilt of taking time off—guilt you shouldn't be feeling, by the way—but that's not always the only issue. Many people avoid vacations because they can't afford them. What you can afford is taking time off and just not going anywhere. "Staycations" can actually be really fun. Sometimes the best time off is spent doing absolutely nothing, or exploring the city you already live in. Alternatively, there are plenty of ways to get cheap vacations. Free frequent flyer miles and clever thinking can earn you cheap travel. So can volunteering. Last year I planned a cheap last-minute vacation by mainly not being picky and renting out someone's apartment. I could've saved more by renting someone's room. You can still have a great vacation if you don't go the standard route. In fact, my favorite vacations have always been the non-traditional. So put in for your time off. Now.

    "[T]he hours are making people fat: 44 percent of workers have gained weight from their jobs"

    How to Combat the Most Common Symptoms of Being OverworkedIf the stress and sleeplessness isn't keeping you from exercising, chances are you're probably too busy. Whatever the cause, exercise is important and you want to find time for it—even if you only have 20 minutes. If you can't commit hours each week to get fit, try our 20 minute exercise plan. It generates a new routine every day so you don't get bored doing the same stuff and each routine can be accomplished in about 20 minutes. You'll form good habits by doing it every day and get fit a lot faster than you think. You'll still need to move around on a regular basis so you're not sitting down all day, as 20 minutes of exercise isn't going to fix a sedentary lifestyle, but just set a timer so you remember to get up now and again or just take a walk around the entire office every time you need to get up for any reason. Keep moving and you'll avoid the weight gain.

    If you feel like reading more depressing statistics about how Americans are overworked, hit up the full post on Business Insider. If you want tips on how to solve more crappy job problems, read this, too.
