    The Corvette E-Ray is dead, long live the Grand Sport X

    Netflix increases prices for all plans by up to $2 per month

    If you can put up with subtitles I highly recommend MHz as a good choice for European mystery shows. L’Art du Crime is excellent. BritBox and Acorn TV also have a lot of detective shows, but in English.

    NASA kills lunar space station to focus on ambitious Moon base

    I had OsmAnd installed, so I installed CoMap and Organic Maps. Interestingly, they seemed very similar, and both put my workplace POI in the street and not in the building even though they knew the building matched the POI address and OsmAnd put it correctly on the building.

    Newly purchased Vizio TVs now require Walmart accounts to use smart features

    That used to be true but Apple couldn’t resist that service revenue and now the main TV screen is covered with Apple TV+ promotions even if you don’t subscribe, and even though it has its own tab. sigh

    A unique NASA satellite is falling out of orbit—this team is trying to rescue it
