This Solar-Powered Dashcam Watches Your Car While You’re Off ‘Finding Yourself’ in Europe

I remember when I had a car. I was living in Queens, and avoiding tickets was an absolute nightmare—that is, until I was informed of a neighborhood cheat code. There was a street sort of near where I lived where I could just leave my car—no alternate side parking, predetermined hours, nothing. Naturally, I went straight there and parked my car and tried my best to forget that I had one until I needed it. I thought about that car every single day. Was it still there? Had it been smashed to pieces

The Incredible Part of Meta's Next Smart Glasses Could Be on Your Wrist

A year ago I test-drove Meta's next-generation concept AR glasses, called project Orion, in a room on the company's campus in Menlo Park, California. They incorporated 3D displays and a wireless processor puck, but what wowed me was the futuristic neural wristband I wore to control them. Meta's research in EMG -- electromyography, or sensing muscle impulses via electrical signals using wearable sensors -- is becoming a reality.

California's legislature this week approved a bill to let renters opt out of bulk-billing arrangements that force them to pay for Internet service from a specific provider. The bill says that by January 1, a landlord must "allow the tenant to opt out of paying for any subscription from a third-party Internet service provider, such as through a bulk-billing arrangement, to provide service for wired Internet, cellular, or satellite service that is offered in connection with the tenancy."

Nissan quotes 160 kilowatts (214 horsepower) and 252 pound-feet of torque for the single motor that drives the front wheels. Acceleration is adequate in the standard drive mode, with Sport providing a bit more boost, enough to spin an inside front wheel in turns when pressed. The Eco mode was underwhelming, and while there’s a Personal mode to tweak your own combination of settings, we’d be shocked if anyone ever uses it.
