    2025 VW ID Buzz: Acres of space, but being electric comes at a premium

    That battery is way too small. Some luxury sedans and many Chinese cars come with significantly bigger batteries. They really cheaped out on it and the range has suffered.

    Man fails to take his medicine—the flesh starts rotting off his leg

    It is regularly amazing to me how hard people find it to stick to their prescribed medications, even when doctors tell them it’s for their life.

    Apple gives EU users App Store options in attempt to avoid massive fines

    Multi trillion. People seem to not realize they’re valued at a mind bending $3 trillion now

    Apple’s push to take over the dashboard resisted by car makers

    There’s inherent lag to wireless casting and the experience isn’t very smooth. Having that buttery smooth and near perfect responsiveness of iOS is a big part of the experience for me.

    Apple’s push to take over the dashboard resisted by car makers

    It’s a shame Apple gave up on their EV aspirations. They would’ve been perfectly positioned to replace Tesla as the consumer favorite. Now it’s kind of a free for all, and we have to deal with these stubborn legacy manufacturers and their poorly thought out or uncreative UIs.

    Microsoft extends free Windows 10 security updates into 2026, with strings attached

    Do they expect me to throw away the computers in our house that already work perfectly well?

    Why Microsoft’s next Xbox should just run Windows already

    Their game publisher partners don’t want a windows box capable of pirating games. I also really don’t think people want to deal with the security issues of a full fledged OS, even if MSFT loads Xbox.exe instead of explorer.exe at boot up. But I could be wrong. I would most likely buy it at...

    Starship’s rough year gets worse after a late-night explosion in South Texas

    I would not be surprised if some of spacex’s best engineers left because of Musk’s political antics.

    2025 Audi A5 and S5 drive: The fastback needs the S treatment to sizzle

    Why do they always recess the screen into the dashboard? You have to lean forward out of your seat to tap it and that gets real tiring after the 100th time.

    Playing personal game “backups” could get your Switch 2 banned by Nintendo

    I really hate the Nintendo fanboys who swarm these threads and downvote anyone who slightiy criticizes Nintendo or their products.

    Playing personal game “backups” could get your Switch 2 banned by Nintendo

    Banning someone for using their own backup would be a violation of the law. Should be interesting to see Nintendo dragged into court over this.

    Trump Org launches $47/month wireless service, teases odd $499 phone

    This is just so blatant. A complete disregard for the entire ethical framework of the presidency. Yes that concept isn’t new with the trump admin, but this is the most shameless and obvious example of extreme corruption I’ve ever seen outside of a 3rd world country.

    Nintendo Switch 2: The Ars Technica review

    Battery life is terrible. Less than 2 hours in cyberpunk. Try charging it while playing CP2077, see what happens to the battery. It’s way too big and my hands cramp while using it, and you’ll look like a tool wielding it in public. They had space for a bigger battery in the chassis, and a 1...

    US states were ready to spend $42 billion on broadband—then Trump took over

    In all fairness, hundreds upon hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks and grants have been handed over the last 3 decades to the monopolistic incumbent broadband providers to “expand access”, and we’re still no better than a 3rd world country. That amount of money could easily have been...

    Apple consolidates iOS gaming features in new Games app

    Apple could’ve done with iOS over a decade ago what valve is doing with SteamOS now. A translation and compatibility layer for PC games, or heavily invest into mobile ports. They just don’t care a whole lot about games outside of the typical mobile slop.

    Apple aims for “more personal and expressive” iOS 26 with new Liquid Glass design

    Wow they’re really leaning into a full fledged computer paradigm. Any chance they could bring back 3D icons?

    iOS and iPadOS 26 will run on most things that support iOS and iPadOS 18

    They could extend their support timeline they just choose not to.
