There are some minor multitasking improvements—it’s easy to put two apps side by side in split-screen, and you can move the slider in between them to resize the apps, even stow one far to the side for easy access. But you still can’t use three apps simultaneously (I miss the OnePlus Open’s implementation of this.)…
Earlier this year, insurance executives gathered in a Times Square conference room to play out a scenario: A Chinese cyberattack knocks out 5,000 US water utilities at once. If you think that’s a far-fetched scenario, think again. WIRED’s Andy Greenberg got rare access to the closed-door war game and walked away with some disturbing conclusions….
Despite the perception that our teenagers and young drivers profess to know everything, they’re still watching and learning from how their parents behave. The example you set for them behind the wheel may be the most important in terms of actually keeping them safe, more so than any other safety message you’ve given them in…
It has never been more expensive to buy a new car. The average transaction price last month for buyers in the United States was $48,576, up nearly a third from 2019, according to Edmunds. The “affordable” car—$20,000 or less—is dead. The high prices have been pinned on plenty of economic dynamics: lingering pandemic-era supply-chain issues,…
Why WIRED recommends: The compression and vibrating pairing is therapeutic, to say the least; it consistently left my legs feeling less stiff after workouts. Everything is controlled from an LCD screen built into the lead boot, so there’s no separate controller to keep track of. You can tailor every session to your preference, with durations…
One notable change over the previous Cherokee is in its increased interior space. Jeep claims the new Cherokee has 30 percent more cargo capacity than the last model. Every Cherokee features a pair of full-color displays on the dashboard: a 10.25-inch driver’s information display behind the wheel and a centrally located 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. Climate…
For years, Laura Loomer’s position on Ukraine was crystal clear. It was “a country full of Nazi apologists” led by “a Jihadi apologist.” Loomer, a conspiracy theorist and avid Trump supporter, called American politicians who supported Ukraine in its war against Russia “traitors.” But Loomer, who traveled to Ukraine last week, has changed her tune….
Toy companies are not required by law to list their ingredients or material makeup on the toys’ packaging, but some companies do. The Nee-Doh packages and the Schylling website say that the gel inside the Nice Cube is “Maltose” or “100% Malt Extract” (a type of sugar made from barley) and the Nee-Doh Groovy Glob…
The expansion has been driven by specific legal and bureaucratic levers. Foremost was an April 2020 Justice Department rule that revoked a long-standing waiver allowing DHS to skip DNA collection from immigration detainees, effectively green-lighting mass sampling. Later that summer, the FBI signed off on rules that let police booking stations run arrestee cheek swabs…
