CNET/Getty Images As a credit card writer, I carefully curate my wallet. I have cash-back cards that earn rewards on everyday spending, travel cards with useful perks and other cards that I've picked up for one reason or another. Most of them earn between 2% and 5% rewards in different categories or provide benefits such as trip insurance. Then there's my humble Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card*, which earns a flat 1.25x miles on all purchases and comes with relatively few travel be

This $15 Raspberry Pi hack fixed my car’s biggest Android Auto annoyance

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-24 13:00:21

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority Android Auto turned ten years old this year, and most automakers have adopted it by now. But unless you drive a car from the past couple of years, chances are that it does not support wireless Android Auto. A good number of vehicles require a wired USB connection to establish a connection with your phone every single time you need to use Android Auto. That’s not a big hassle, but I find it a bit annoying to plug in on shorter trips or when I’m running errands

Tesla Robotaxi Safety Monitor Forced to Clamber Into Driver's Seat and Take Over, Passenger Says

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-25 08:12:04

Earlier this year, Elon Musk promised that Tesla's robotaxis would launch offering fully "unsupervised" rides with "no one in the car." That turned out to be a lie. And less than a week into the robotaxi service's debut, which is currently limited to a tiny geofenced area in Austin, Texas, it's already become apparent that the self-driving cars are very much reliant on the human supervisors — or "safety monitors" — that Musk was adamant he wouldn't need.

And while you can spend many hundreds of dollars on a fancy bag, it won't necessarily protect your camera better than a more budget-focused model. Even entry level models around the $100 mark should still provide ample padding to hold your camera safely.
