I love Google’s new Calling Cards feature. Here’s how to use it on your Android phone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-15 14:00:20

Joe Maring / Android Authority In late July, Android Authority reported that Google was working on a new “Calling Cards” feature for its Contacts app. Yesterday, it began rolling out widely for everyone to use.

Calling Cards let you spruce this up a bit, allowing you to select a full-screen picture and stylized text to display for each of your contacts. I

Dead EV Batteries Are Hoarding a Shocking Amount of Useful Lithium

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-17 20:40:53

The lithium batteries we deem unfit for use in electric vehicles might still contain copious amounts of usable, pure lithium we could retrieve and reuse—a potentially consistent, bountiful supply we’re just not trying hard enough to tap into, a new study suggests. In a study published August 14 in the Journal of Environmental Management, researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Australia argue that tapping into the leftover lithium in used batteries could fuel a pragmatic, sustainable alt

Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Review: Great, Not a Must-Have

Each attachment is embedded with RFID chips that auto-adjust heat and airflow based on your last-used settings. Not a revolutionary change, but it is nice not to have to toggle settings every time I switch attachments. You can also pair it with Dyson's app, which offers tutorials based on your hair type and goals. Dyson also moved the fan and heat controls to the base of the handle.

Elon Musk's DOGE Was Far More of a Dismal Failure Than We Thought

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency originally promised to save the government $2 trillion in waste. That target quickly dropped to $1 trillion. Then in April, Musk started intimating that the savings would only be in the region of $150 billion, making it clear to all but his most diehard supporters that DOGE was failing on its own terms — even going by its own dubious estimates of its progress. Now, it's looking like those purported "savings" are somehow even more pitiful than onc
