Through its early years, MG cars set world speed records, and it was sister company to the likes of Jaguar and Triumph. By the 2000s, MG had lost much of their appeal, and were for the most part just a snooze fest of re-badged Rovers — yes, my grandad owned one. In 2012, MG was bought by Chinese automotive giant SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, and it’s since been pumping out SUVs, one of which is electric but are largely uninspiring and painfully practical....

It’ll look a whole lot like the Pixel 6 The Pixel 6 broke away from the design of previous pixels and the Pixel 6a looks to follow the new design language. Renders by leaker OnLeaks and 91Mobiles show a device that at a glance looks a whole lot like the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, what with the giant camera bar replacing the previous camera squircle. The renders also show two camera lenses and a flash, as well as a hole cut out for the selfie camera....

If you didn’t have a side hustle going before the world’s economy took an historic nosedive, you’re undoubtedly thinking about having one now. And we’d suggest you get started on it very, very soon…because millions of Americans are already beating you to it. For example, the number of tech workers who moonlight on their regular employer is up almost 40 percent from just 10 years ago. Having the financial security net of a second income stream has never been more vital, and you can line up all the pieces to jumpstart that extra revenue source with The Complete Side Hustle Hacker Bundle ($29....

I was a robovac skeptic I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to work when the house is a mess. I’ve been a remote worker since well before the pandemic, which means my office is my home. Living in the typical tiny NYC apartment, that also means I don’t have a dedicated room just for work stuff — so mess in the home means a mess in my workspace....

That’s from a report from a South Korean outlet Electronic Times Internet, which noted that the company has placed an order with LG Inno for front cameras that might cost thrice as much as that of the iPhone 13. Sure, there’s no guarantee that using a costlier component translates to the iPhone 14’s selfie camera being otherworldly. But combining Apple’s camera computing and new hardware, we might get a winning combination....

Several short, small-brained species survived alongside them: Homo naledi in South Africa, Homo luzonensis in the Philippines, Homo floresiensis (“hobbits”) in Indonesia, and the mysterious Red Deer Cave People in China. Given how quickly we’re discovering new species, more are likely waiting to be found. By 10,000 years ago, they were all gone. The disappearance of these other species resembles a mass extinction. But there’s no obvious environmental catastrophe – volcanic eruptions, climate change, asteroid impact – driving it....

I’m a Windows guy, but I’ve got to admit, those are gorgeous. That blue! The greenish teal! The purple! I mean, when’s the last time you had a purple computer? And to keep the pretty colors from being too distracting, Apple made the shades of color lighter in the front and base, but more vibrant in the back. Your Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse are color-matched as well. In another design touch, Apple created a magnetic power cord, which is nice for those who frequently unplug their iMacs, I guess....

This is a rare bit of good news for the auto world. In its annual sales snapshot, SMMT reported that the ongoing pandemic — in combination with the semiconductor chip shortage — continued to have a negative impact on the UK’s car industry. Specifically, 2021 new car registrations grew by a minimal 1.0% compared to 2020, as 1.65 million new vehicles entered the UK market. This number is down a whopping 28....

Parking on pavements could soon be banned across England under new plans to make journeys for disabled and visually impaired people more accessible. According to the UK Department for Transport (DfT), over 95 percent of wheelchair users and people with visual impairments say they have experienced problems navigating vehicles parked on pavements. Such parking is banned in London but it is only prohibited for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) in the rest of country....

Let’s take a look at the cryptocurrency and blockchain headlines from over the weekend. The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is going after digital asset traders and has begun sending them letters asking that they report their cryptocurrency holdings and pay their taxes, CoinDesk reports. The IRS said the individuals targeted with the letters were identified “through various ongoing IRS compliance efforts.” Hide your Bitcoin people! According to Gulfnews, the US is suing and seeking extradition of the Russian owner of a cryptocurrency exchange (BTC-e) for violating the Bank Secrecy Act, and is attempting to recover $100 million in penalties....

Space debris is any nonfunctional human-made object in space. As a professor of space and society focused on space governance, I’ve noticed that there are three questions the public always asks when falling space debris gets into the news. Could this have been prevented? What would have happened if there was damage? And how will new commercial companies be regulated as space activities and launches increase exponentially? For space law to be effective, it needs to do three things....

Fret not, for I’m here to tell you you can get great sound from small speakers too. But to get the most bang for your buck, I make one important recommendation: consider buying studio monitors instead of mainstream or ‘hi-fi’ speakers. No, not the kind of ‘monitor’ you use to watch YouTube; monitor is a term for speakers too, particularly in a pro-audio context. The reason for my recommendation is simple: rather than attracting buyers with flashy looks or gimmicky features, studio monitors tend to focus on no-nonsense good sound....

From remote work to the Zoom boom, the way we work, communicate with our colleagues and even search for new jobs has completely changed. Of course, Covid-19 has also spurred on ‘The Great Resignation.’ Over the last two years, many people have reevaluated their priorities, examined their careers and contemplated making a change. As a result, we’re facing a hiring explosion unlike anything we have ever seen before. So, if you’re wondering what the most in demand tech jobs will be in 2022, look no further....

But amidst all the special filters and app effects and other added bells and whistles available to liven up your productions, you’d be shocked how much difference a simple gimbal can make. Removing all the jitters and jarring motion of handheld footage for the smooth, fluid glide of a reliable stabilizer like the VILTA-M Pro 3-Axis Handheld Smartphone Stabilizer Gimbal instantly boosts the look of amateur video....

Not too long ago, a viewer was satisfied with a 24-inch, or maybe even a 32-inch television screen. Now, thin HD-quality monitors have made 55 and 65-inch viewing experiences commonplace in most homes. So should we be surprised that you can now get full 1080p HD resolution projected up to a whopping 240 inches? Or that it’s available from a 2-inch by 2-inch cube you can slip into your pocket and take anywhere?...

The system was created by Ethan Rosenthal, a data scientist at Square based in New York. Rosenthal began the project just after coronavirus cases had hit their peak in their city. “I set out to work on something completely meaningless,” he wrote on a blogpost. Rosenthal already had considerable experience with PB and banana sandwiches. He’d first been introduced to the delicacy as a child by his grandfather, and has been assiduously refining his sandwich-making skills ever since....

A team of researchers has developed a tool that will paint your portrait for you. — clem ?

Stoxart is the work of Gladys, a self-described visual insights innovator mixing data with art to capture 2020’s monumentally volatile markets. Entirely hand-drawn with Adobe Illustrator’s pen tool, Gladys amplifies the context surrounding this year’s biggest stock storylines by transforming sharp price movements into jagged mountain skylines.

Now, there’s a death clock for the amount of time you’re wasting on social media. Last year, the average daily usage of social media worldwide was 2 hours 22 minutes, according to Statista. And that’s just a just a drop in the ocean compared to teens who spend an average of nine hours a day online. This is where “Social Media Death Clock” comes in. Created by software engineer Anthony Morris, this Chrome extension reminds users of their mortality as they waste time on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube....
