Fast food just got faster.

On Monday, Shake Shack answered the prayers of burger devotees everywhere by rolling out its mobile order-and-pay-ahead feature across the U.S. It’s an expansion of the program that it first began testing back in October, but at the time, it was localized to just a single Shake Shack in Manhattan. But now, no matter where your favorite Shake Shack may be located, you will be able to blow past those seemingly endless lines by paying in advance and just heading up to the counter to retrieve your order.

Tthe Shake Shack empire can be found across New York City, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. Now, at each of these restaurants, you will be able to use the Shake Shack app to order and pay for your food with either a credit or debit card. Once your order is ready, you will receive a text and you can just roll up to your designated pickup point and ready yourself for a feast.

And don’t worry — just because you won’t be interacting with a human being when you place your order doesn’t mean you won’t be able to add some human customization. Need to alert a cook of an allergy? No problem. Want to add some extras to your burger? Great. One thing to note, however — you can’t order Concretes (ice cream) via the app, but just about everything else is available on mobile.

“The Shack App marks a new era for Shake Shack. In creating our first-ever app, we took great care to develop a mobile ordering platform that maintains the high quality our guests have come to know and love, but now just a tap away,” CEO Randy Garutti said in October. So if you’ve been craving some of those crinkle cut fries, no need to wait in line — just pull out your phone and let the Shake Shack app take care of the rest.

Can’t stand using Instagram in 2022? This app fixes everything you hate about it

The OG App running on an iPhone.

It's no secret that many users are irritated with the steady barrage of new types of content that Meta keeps forcing onto Instagram. The app's complete pivot to Tiktok-like video Reels, the near-constant suggested posts, and the ever-present ads have turned a lot of people off from an app that used to be about simply sharing photos with friends.

In response to what Instagram has become, The OG App was created as a back-to-basics version of Instagram that cuts out a lot of the bloat that's been crammed in.

Can’t buy a Nothing Phone? Now you can turn your phone into one

An iPhone 13 Pro Max with the transparent Dbrand Something case.

If you haven't been able to get your hands on the Nothing Phone 1 — either due to limited availability or the fact that it isn't being sold in the U.S. — Dbrand is able to help you ease the pain. Now you can turn your current phone into a Nothing Phone by using transparent-style Something skins that almost perfectly mirror Nothing's design.

Dbrand's marketing for its Something line of smartphone cases and skins isn't shying away from poking fun at the hype surrounding the Nothing Phone 1. Now that the Phone 1 is here, it's clear that its main selling point is its striking, transparent design. And that's something Dbrand knows all too well.

Galaxy S22 and Watch 4 get stunning new special editions that you can’t buy

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Diablo Edition

Samsung has announced new special-edition models of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Galaxy Watch 4 this week. As with most of the company's more extravagant Galaxy collaborations, both are Korea-exclusive devices. That limited availability isn't surprising, but when these special editions feature such appealing designs and extras, we can't help but wish they were more widely available.

The most exclusive special edition is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Already a very handsome and well-received phone, Samsung is collaborating with Blizzard to launch a tie-in model with the Diablo Immortal game. Korean publication Yonhap reports that this Diablo Immortal package comes with the Galaxy S22 Ultra you'd expect, a leather mousepad, a map, a Blizzard-designed lenticular image, a phone case, a wireless charging pad, a Blizzard Battlecoin card, a Spigen grip case, and a wooden box that holds the whole package. It's appealing, it's fancy, and you can only get the chance to buy one of the 100 models in existence by winning a lottery in a select mall in Korea. See what we mean about being exclusive?
