​Yummly Suggests Recipes Based on Cooking Skill, Weather, and More

iOS/Web: Yummly returns search results based on dietary restrictions and preferences. It also makes recipe suggestions based on things like location, weather, time, and your grocery list.

You may already know that with Yummly, you can search by ingredients to find new recipes, but that's not what makes it special. Yummly is best known for its customization and intelligent suggestions. When you make a profile, you can set your cooking skill level, and personalize your search results and suggestions with dietary restrictions (like "pescetarian" or food allergies). It also makes suggestions based on your grocery list, and, with the newest iOS update, weather, location, and time as well.

Yummly is available for free for iOS and on the web. Hit the link below to check it out.

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone: The Always Up-to-Date Guide [iOS 8.1]

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone: The Always Up-to-Date Guide [iOS 8.1]

Jailbreaking is a process that changes little by little with each iOS upgrade. Rather than always publishing new guides, we're simply going to keep this one up to date. If you want to jailbreak your iOS device, you've come to the right page.

Current iOS Version: iOS 8.1
iOS 8 and iOS 8.1 are both jailbroken. Currently, the jailbreak is for Windows only, but a Mac version is on the way. The jailbreak is compatible with all devices that can run iOS 8, including the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. You'll find the guide for doing so below.

Not sure if you should jailbreak?

We love jailbreaking our iDevices, but it's not for everybody. If you're not sure, you should read both our reasons why jailbreaking is awesome and reasons not to jailbreak—or check out other people's reasons for both.

How to Jailbreak

Just follow these steps to jailbreak your iDevice, or watch the video above for a demonstration.

  1. Back up your iOS device. Head to Settings > iCloud > Backup and select "Back Up Now"
  2. Disable the passcode on your device. Head to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and disable the passcode if you're using one
  3. Enable Airplane Mode, swipe up on your screen to open Control Center and tap the airplane icon
  4. Download Pangu 1.1 here. This is your jailbreak tool.
  5. Open the Pangu tool once it's downloads (Right-click to run as Administrator on Windows).
  6. Plug in your iOS device.
  7. When your device is recognized by Pangu, select the "Start Jailbreak" option.
  8. Click "Already Did".
  9. Wait for the tool to run. When it's complete, your iPhone will reboot. You can close Pangu now.
  10. Tap the Cydia icon to prepare the file system. That's it!

Not sure what to install first? Check out our jailbreaking tag page and our quarterly jailbreak roundups for some ideas.

​Make Photoshop Edits in Empty Layers Instead of Existing Ones

​Make Photoshop Edits in Empty Layers Instead of Existing Ones

Ever edit a photo, save, and then decide you don't like the edits you made? To avoid starting over, create an empty layer in Photoshop and make your edits on top of that.

Even the beginner Photoshop user has likely endured making an editing mistake the undo button won't fix. Use empty layers with tools like cloning, healing, patching, and content-aware moving, to avoid these mistakes.

Just create an empty layer and enable the tool to edit multiple layers. Here's how:

  1. Select the tool you want to use.
  2. In the options bar, check the "Sample All Layers" checkbox, or—depending on the tool— set the Sample menu to "Current & Below" or "All Layers".

Now when you make a mistake, you can delete the empty layer and start fresh with a new one. Use several empty layers instead of one to make your edits. Think of it as saving a new word document so you don't save over your current one: when you make an edit you want to keep, protect it by making another new layer for your next edits.

​This Chart Helps You Choose the Best Sunglasses for Your Face Shape

Different sunglasses look better on different faces. Sure, you could try them all out until you find one that works, but if you need a little help, here's an infographic that'll help narrow it down for you.

It's simple: first, you determine your face shape by tracing it in a mirror and comparing it to the shapes on the infographic. Then refer to the second half, which lists your face shape and the sunglass styles that match. It even explains why those sunglasses are a good fit for you, which is good to remember if you're ever out without the guide on hand.

With that, you've narrowed it down from way too many options to just a handful, which makes this process a lot easier. The Sun Authority also has an interactive guide at the link below, so check that out as well if you're interested.
