Our engineers developed a testing protocol based heavily on the feedback from users with lived experience of using mobility scooters. One of our distance tests measures how long each scooter can travel on a full charge over an outdoor course with hills and curves; the other measures recharging by miles per hour of charge, to…
If you’re in the market for a new TV, this is a great time to buy. You can still find a decent number of leftover 2024 models offered at big discounts, as well as new 2025 sets that are now at their lowest prices of the year. Regardless of the model year, the very best…
As self-driving car services from Alphabet’s Waymo, Amazon’s Zoox, and Tesla have slowly, quietly expanded across the US, one big, important state has mostly stayed mum: New York. The union’s fourth most populous state has some of the tightest laws governing autonomous vehicles, requiring companies approved to test in the state to only do so…
An air fryer works by rapidly circulating hot air and a small amount of oil to fry foods. The oil and air work in tandem, transferring heat via conduction (the direct contact of the hot oil) and convection (the heavy rotation of hot air). The air-fry function works the same way in a wall oven…
In redesigning the A6 sedan (instead of killing it off, as Audi did with the A4), Audi also cut down on engine choices, at least for the first year or so. The only powertrain is a 362-hp, 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT), driving all four wheels. Unlike its…
Main theme: We bought a 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy AWD for our test program, Hyundai’s first model to use its new hybrid system based on a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder. The podcast panelists share first impressions of this three-row family hauler, covering performance, fuel economy, interior space, cabin luxury, and daily usability. Then they discuss…
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…
Decide What You Want Under the Bed“Consider what you want vs. need to store underneath—the frequency of use, accessibility, and space constraints,” says Jeanie Engelbach, professional organizer and founder of Apartmentjeanie. “If the plan is to extend the storage capacity of your wardrobe, then you want category-specific storage rather than bigger containers that hold more.”…
HDR, short for high dynamic range, is now found in a vast majority of midsized to large sets. It increases the contrast between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks a TV can produce. To do a good job with HDR video, a TV needs to get bright enough to display brighter, more colorful images…
In his case, the field of play is a compact New York apartment, and the equipment is a sophisticated blend of modern engineering and scrappy, real-world ingenuity. He doesn’t just study how people work; he brings those lessons home with him, navigating the same cramped spaces and long hours as the rest of us, but…
