4 Discontinued SUVs We'd Like To See Make A Comeback
For much of the 20th Century, the station wagon was the preferred mode of transportation for American families. Station wagons were so prevalent that they became stars on TV and in movies, but the appearance of the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager in 1983 started the transition to minivans. In 2020, Chrysler axed the Grand Caravan since, by that point, the SUV had become the flavor of the day. SUVs were certainly not new to the scene; the Chevy Suburban was then sitting on the cusp of its 12th generation.
When Did Yamaha Start Making Dirt Bikes? All About Its First Off-Road Model
It was 1955 when Yamaha Motor Co. was founded, expanding the Japanese company's focus from manufacturing musical instruments to motorcycles. To no surprise, the company applied the same precision techniques used to manufacture its beloved pianos to its burgeoning line of two-wheeled vehicles.

Audeze Headquarters Is In A League Of Its Own — Just Like Its Headphones
Audeze — the manufacturer of high-end headphones such as the CRBN and the Maxwell — is a play on the word odyssey inspired by the seminal sci-fi classic, "2001: A Space Odyssey."

How To Transfer Photos From iPhone To Chromebook (3 Easy Ways)
While iPhones are primarily communication devices, they're well known for their ability to take stunning photos. If you're like most iPhone users, over time, you'll accumulate lots of pictures on your device. When this happens (or even before), you'll probably want to transfer them to a computer, an external hard drive, or a USB flash drive to free up space on your phone. Even if you automatically backup your photos to a cloud service like iCloud or Google Photos, transferring them to a computer will allow you to do things like edit your photos using a free Photoshop alternative, something that's often easier to do on a big screen.
The Reason Why You Should Never Buy The First Model Year Of A New Car
When a new car comes to market, there are all sorts of pomp and circumstance surrounding it. For months, the engine specs are leaked, teaser photos are posted around the internet, the car is often spotted in camouflage leaving a manufacturer's private test facility, and then a big reveal comes via a sheet-pull at an auto show or a private event with big lights and a stunning backdrop. All of this is designed to grab your attention and boost interest, and, of course, sell cars. When an auto manufacturer debuts a new vehicle, they want the first year to be successful — a proof of concept so to speak. But, with few exceptions, the first year of a new car may not be the most desirable.

How To Connect An Android Phone To A Chromebook (And Why You May Need To)
Connecting your phone to your computer — whether it's using Phone Link on Windows with your Android or even connecting Phone Link to your iPhone – is an incredibly beneficial feature that makes transferring photos, videos, and files between devices easier than ever before. Gone are the days when you need to send an email to yourself or hunt down a USB cable to get a specific file you want onto your computer. Even Apple's ecosystem has made it easier for Apple users to share data between their devices. But what if you don't have a Windows or Apple computer? What if you use a Chromebook?
