Should the Company Trucks Go Electric? Depends on When You Charge

Should the company switch its trucks, cars, and vans to electric? It’s a question that plenty of businesses operating fleets of vehicles—in industries like delivery, health care, cable companies, and utilities—are thinking through. Eighty-seven percent of fleet operators polled by Cox Automotive last year said they were expecting to bring aboard some battery-powered vehicles in the next five years. Their top concerns weren’t that different from everyday drivers’: Businesses aren’t sure how to k

JetBlue will use Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellites for free in-flight internet

I pay for Google Gemini, but GPT-5 has convinced me to switch to ChatGPT and here’s why

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority ChatGPT has become the Xerox of the AI world, but OpenAI no longer has the stage to itself. Google has been pushing Gemini deeper into its ecosystem, and every few weeks it feels like another rival pops up with promises of being faster, smarter, or more useful. So when the latest GPT-5 model launched last month, it felt like a release OpenAI couldn’t afford to get wrong. While OpenAI’s benchmarks claim that GPT-5 is better than the competition, the numbers o

Pixel phones could soon let you set up unique vibrations for each contact (APK teardown)

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR We spotted Google Contacts code that hints at contact-specific vibration patterns for Pixel phones. Apple and Samsung already allow you to assign specific haptics to your contacts. If it rolls out, the feature would tell you who’s calling even when your Pixel is in silent mode.

Hands-on: Kuxiu’s new X40 Turbo brings Qi2.2 fast 25W charging to your iPhone

Wireless charging and iPhones have had an interesting relationship. While Android phones had wireless charging extremely early, it took Apple years to adopt the regular Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus back in 2017. Back then, it only charged at 7.5W, and it was not very efficient. Then Magsafe and the Qi2 standard recently came around and allowed iPhones to charge at 15W. But now we are getting Qi2.2, which is faster, cooler, and more efficient, and Kuxiu is the first to bring

I didn’t think I’d like any of these Pixel 10 features, but Google proved me wrong

If I’m honest, Google made me a little nervous when it introduced the Pixel 10 series. Not because I thought it was about to ruin the things I love about its flagships, but because it seemed like Google was starting to run out of ideas for clever software features. Everything it hung its hat on, from Magic Cue to the Daily Hub, seemed like a careful copy of someone else’s idea, and it took some of the wind out of my sails. I should have known better. Yes, the Pixel 10 series does have a familia
