You’ve probably been there. You walk up to a parking meter and just want to pay for it and move on with your day. But unlike the old-school method of just dropping some quarters into the machine, there are a dozen slightly different ways to pay so you can finally go on with your day. One of the methods is to scan the QR code, which will take you to a website where you can make it happen. But you may want to look closely at that pixelated little graphic the next time you’re going through this obnoxious dance.

RadioShack Lives on…Digitally

It’s been almost ten years since LCD video killed the plasma video star. The legacy Japanese electronics brand Panasonic is trying to remind U.S. consumers of a time when it still made televisions for the North American market. The company’s back now with two new OLED models and a mini-LED offering. At the top end, the Z95A OLED is kicking in Panasonic’s audio know-how, integrating a suite of side speakers and directional audio that sounds impressive enough in person; I wonder why the company doesn’t just outright say you don’t even need a soundbar.

Panasonic TVs Are Finally Coming Back to the U.S. After Nearly a Decade

Teslas are notable for being giant rolling surveillance devices, decked out with cameras and sensors that capture a huge amount of information about what’s happening all around them. In recent years, cops have begun using the EVs’ large data troves to assist with investigations. In fact, they’ve gotten so used to deputizing the vehicles that they’ve effectively begun stealing them (temporarily, at least) to obtain the digital evidence inside.

Cops Are Towing Teslas to Recover Crime Scene Footage

When your temper flares are you a raging bull? A vicious Virgo or a conniving Capricorn? Emotions are complex states that involve physiological, behavioral, and cognitive changes. They influence how we perceive the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions. However, our emotions are not the only factor that influences our behavior. Astrology can be a telling factor as well.

It's been over twenty-five years since actor/photographer Roddy McDowall died of lung cancer in 1998. McDowall, despite some career challenges, was one of that breed of rare former child actors who successfully transitioned into Hollywood adulthood. He was also, however, one of the industry's "openly closeted" actors, which came with its own sense of issues. This is his story.

If I need anything more than the pink Barbie phone, it’s the EcoFlow Power Hat. I know it sounds odd and slightly concerning. I’ve never worn a hat with eight solar panels and dual charging ports on my head, so I’m not sure how it’s going to feel. But picturing my hat simultaneously charging up to two devices when I’m out on a hike is exciting, too. You’ll have to shell out $80 for it, though, which sounds like a lot for a casual beach hat, but not when I think of a power bank with dual output. So, it’s a fair deal.
