9 Best Electric Cargo Bikes for Families (2025), Tested and Reviewed

There are several physical, philosophical, environmental, and logistical reasons why it’s better to hop on an electric cargo bike than it is to drive a car. Sitting in traffic is mind-numbing.

If you're trying to reconcile your carefree biking days of yore with your current life as a family chauffeur—or you just want a bike for trips to the supermarket o

Windows is finally bringing Mac-style clipboard sync magic to Android

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR The clipboard sync feature allows you to access the Windows clipboard content on your Android smartphone. This feature is currently available in the Windows Dev build. You need to be logged in to your Microsoft account on both devices to use the feature.

Pixel 10 Pro XL proves its got the strength to match its software update promise

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 Pro XL has passed JerryRigEverything’s durability test with flying colors. The YouTuber called it the toughest Pixel ever built. Still, if you plan to use the device for seven years, it’s a good idea to slap on a screen protector or use a cover that protects the display. Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL has gone through the popular JerryRigEverything stress check, and the results show a phone that might be the toughest Pixel Google has ever built.

This Macintosh programming book library will take you back, even if you weren’t there for it

Rumor: AirPods Pro 3 features may not all arrive at launch

While we expect Apple to unveil AirPods Pro 3 alongside iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Series 11 next week, there’s one new feature that may not be ready for showtime. An anonymous source claims in a tip to 9to5Mac that AirPods Pro 3 will indeed feature two health sensors. Heart rate sensing has long been rumored, and after appearing on Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, the feature addition has been a lock. The other health sensor, previously floated as a possibility, is said by the anonymous tipster to be

The Ongoing Fallout from a Breach at AI Chatbot Maker Salesloft

The recent mass-theft of authentication tokens from Salesloft, whose AI chatbot is used by a broad swath of corporate America to convert customer interaction into Salesforce leads, has left many companies racing to invalidate the stolen credentials before hackers can exploit them.

Google Maps may soon keep your navigation updates where you can’t lose them

Megan Ellis / Android Authority TL;DR Google Maps is starting to test Live Updates for navigation on some devices. We spotted the feature several days ago, and more reports from other users have since surfaced. Testing appears very limited for now. If you’ve ever had a live navigation slip off your screen mid-journey, you’ll see why the latest Google Maps experiment could be useful. A handful of people are now seeing Live Updates appear for directions, keeping progress pinned on the screen w

You can try Apple’s lightning-fast video captioning model right from your browser

A few months ago, Apple released FastVLM, a Visual Language Model (VLM) that offered near-instant high-resolution image processing. Now, you can take it for a spin, provided you have an Apple Silicon-powered Mac. Here’s how. When we first covered FastVLM, we explained that it leveraged MLX, Apple’s own open ML framework specifically designed for Apple Silicon, to deliver up to 85 times faster video captioning, while being more than 3 times smaller than similar models. Since then, Apple has wor

The buyer-pull and seller-push theories of sales

PSA: There’s now a companion podcast! We go into way more detail on YouTube / Spotify! I have now watched hundreds of founders’ sales calls. And in every single founder’s call, I find the same foundational error playing out in a thousand different ways. It causes the founder (and the potential customer) a world of pain. If you feel uncomfortable selling, or if your sales calls don’t feel smooth, this is probably why. We all seem to have the most basic misconception about sales, a backwards ide

Git for Music – Using Version Control for Music Production (2023)

last updated on 6 Apr 2024 Being both a musician and a software engineer, I always felt that these two areas are almost completely separated. My developer skill-set seemed to have little to no use for my work as a musician. Which is a pity considering how cool it would be if there was some kind of a sinergy across these two sides of my life. Recently, though, I have found a useful possibility to utilize something I previously used solely for my development work, namely, git, the version contro
