Security Keys Are the Best Way to Protect Your Apple ID

No uploads, steady shelf. Lifehacker, the long-running advice site whose channel motto is simply "Do everything better," posted nothing over the week, so the work fell to videos made more than three years ago.

The busiest of them is a practical one: "Security Keys Are the Best Way to Protect Your Apple ID," a quick explainer on Apple's support for physical keys on iPhone, iPad and Mac. It brings in more daily views than anything else on the channel, more than twice as many as the next video in line. Perhaps a few people are still tightening up their accounts, years after the feature arrived.

The rest of the momentum comes from the kitchen. Allie Chanthorn Reinmann's two food explainers keep finding readers: one picks the best cheeses for a grilled cheese sandwich, depending on whether you want the pull or the melt, and the other works out which bread soaks up French toast custard without turning dense. Her description even spares a line for tortillas, which will have to wait for their own day.

Overall the channel ran slower than its usual pace, with a little over 40,000 views across the week and subscribers holding at 488,000. Among the DIY and home channels near its size, HomeTransform and Stick welder had by far the busiest weeks, while Lifehacker gathered the fewest views of the group. Its quiet shelf of security tips and sandwich advice is still being opened.
