BMW ConnectedDrive lets me control my returned rental car (Sixt)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-16 07:33:38

Last week I rented a BMW from Sixt (Italy). The default rental driver profile had Bluetooth disabled, so I created my own BMW ID, paired it with the car, removed the existing profile, and even triggered software updates. When returning the car, I told the Sixt representative that I had linked my BMW ID — they assured me that the vehicle would be reset. Today — just before deleting the “My BMW” app — I checked out of curiosity. Surprise: I still had full remote access: - live location tracki

One UI 8 is missing these 2 crucial Android 16 features, and I want them now!

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-16 17:00:41

Joe Maring / Android Authority Samsung pleasantly surprised us with how fast it started its Android 16 beta, especially after the mess it made with the One UI 7 rollout. One UI 8 has been a small update so far, but it makes some welcome tweaks to what we got in One UI 7’s major redesign. While it’s based on Android 16 and even has some features that Pixels don’t have access to just yet, two of my favorite additions are missing, and I really want Samsung to add them as soon as possible.

Nothing Phone 3 leak reveals it’s not a full-blown flagship after all (Update: Confirmed)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-16 18:07:14

TL;DR The Nothing Phone 3 will reportedly use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. This is a step down from the Snapdragon 8 Elite, featuring a slower CPU and GPU and a few other downgrades. This processor should still compare favorably to the likes of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used in last year’s high-end phones. Update: June 17, 2025 (8:05 AM ET): Nothing has now confirmed that the Nothing Phone 3 is equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. You can read the full article for more details.

Android Automotive now lets apps show your food order status and more on your car’s home screen

Polestar TL;DR Android Automotive OS is getting a new feature called AppCard, which allows apps to display their most relevant data and functions on the home screen. AppCards can display information like the status of a food order, but the visual styling of these cards is controlled by carmakers, not app developers.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I often find myself shuffling between phones — sometimes as frequently as switching handsets every week. And I make sure to replicate my home screen layout on each Android phone so that I don’t feel unfamiliar when switching and my muscle memory doesn’t act up either.

I recommend OnePlus' lateset flagship phone over the S25 Ultra - here's why

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2026-03-17 08:00:14

I stood on an indoor basketball court in Orlando, Florida, in mid-May, ball in hand and LeBron 15 sneakers on my feet, ready to run some drills. My instructor drew up a basic diagram for me to follow in my next drill using an iPad. He showed how he wanted me to start at the baseline, then curl up to the corner of the free-throw line before taking a pass and driving to the basket. Easy enough to remember.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal has long been home to the Canadian Grand Prix. The artificial island was originally built for Expo 67 but was later remodeled for the 1976 Olympics; a race track was then constructed out of the roads on the island in 1978. F1 has come and gone in the US and Mexico in that time, but Canada has been a near-constant, missing just 2009.
