I used Ford’s BlueCruise driver assistance on a road trip and I’m excited for self-driving

00

When it comes to EVs, I’m very much in the middle-of-the-road. No pun intended. The cool tech inside, one-pedal driving, and the foot-down launches all compel me to buy one.

00

I would bet pretty heavily that you’ve the ol’ “stick it in rice” advice if you’ve ever dropped your phone in water. It’s the modern day equivalent of an old folk remedy, with the rice supposed to suck the excess moisture out of your handset. But Apple has come out and said the opposite.

Helldivers 2 is the Starship Troopers-esque video game of my dreams

I recall seeing a fantastic comic strip years ago, where the artist bemoaned the state of the modern world. Not in the sense everything was awful (although, by some metrics, that would have been true). But in the sense how activities have become homogenised. Because today, your phone does everything. This means many ...
