Despite his anti-elite stance, Vance’s connections reveal a more complex relationship with establishment figures. At the same time, as the former president distances himself from Project 2025—a right-wing policy roadmap aiming to purge the federal government and reshape the executive branch and turn the US into what critics characterize as a Christian nationalist autocratic state—Vance’s…
The Countryman SE is the latest Mini to launch under the company’s new strategy of offering gas and electric versions of every vehicle. (The plug-in hybrid Countryman is no more.) Parked next to each other, it’s difficult to tell the difference between the gas Countryman and the electric one we’re testing, aside from the SE’s…
It’s been a long time since I’ve used a laptop with a screen larger than 13 or 14 inches for any length of time. It’s so refreshing to have the room to spread my apps out … even if the machine no longer fits in my backpack. Maybe being able to fit your bag under…
Adding more fuel after the gas pump clicks off can damage the charcoal canister by saturating it with fuel and cause the check-engine light to illuminate. If the ORVR is damaged, it won’t adequately capture those harmful vapors. The system typically lasts the lifetime of a car, but topping off could lead to an avoidable…

If you’re planning a week of cooking pasta—or you like to take long showers—window condensation could turn your home into a steamy greenhouse. Once again, dish soap is your soldier. “Condensation on windows can lead to mold growth, dampness, and general discomfort in your home,” Brown says. “One effective but unusual remedy is using dish…

The problem: These SUVs were built with rear seat door locking modules that may not fully conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard 206 Section 4.3.1.

Not everything needs to reinvent the wheel. Iterating on products year over year has produced some of the best wireless headphones money can buy, and that’s precisely the route Nothing is going with its latest earbuds, the Nothing Ear and Nothing Ear (a).

That’s not to say there are no issues. The jog wheels are unimpressive at best. They’re helpful for finding your place in a song, but I can’t imagine trying to scratch or do any real DJ tricks with them. Limiting its usefulness in a live setting is the fact that there’s no mic input, and…
