Ryan Haines / Android Authority I think it’s safe to say that Samsung’s Good Lock is the most powerful customization toolkit in the Android ecosystem for those who want even more control over their One UI devices. Good Lock modules unlock the lock screen, tweak themes, and extend Routines far beyond their initial capabilities. It’s grown so much since its early days that I couldn’t imagine using a Samsung phone without it. However, there are still several areas where Good Lock falls short. Exi

AirTag helps London couple recover stolen car after police refuse to act

A London couple was able to locate and reclaim their Jaguar E-Pace this week using Apple’s AirTag, after local police chose not to take immediate action, even with real-time location data in hand. As reported by BBC News, the £46,000 stolen vehicle was taken from outside the couple’s home in Brook Green, Hammersmith, on June 3. The car had an AirTag hidden inside, which allowed the owners to track its precise location to a nearby neighborhood in Chiswick. The couple contacted the Metropolitan

I mean, it sounds great for summer—just like a blanket that warms you up but in reverse. Sadly, these products don’t do what they claim. They might be breathable so they don’t make you as hot as an ordinary blanket would, but you’d still be cooler with no blanket at all. However, there is hope. Someone has created a real cooli
