In case you’re into that kind of thing. Google Google has a new experimental AI offering called CC aimed at helping families stay organized.

It’s been a few months, and so it’s apparently time for the Dubai Police Department to add yet another supercar or luxury car to its outrageous fleet of law enforcement vehicles. After a year of buying practical four-door luxury vehicles, this year the department has splurged on sports cars. It picked up a Lamborghini Revuelto back in February, and to counteract the high-tech mid-engine hybrid, it has gone with a classic, naturally-aspirated, front-engine Ferrari. Plus, because a plain Ferrari 812 wouldn’t be enough, this one was modified by Mansory. If You Miss The Flashing Lights, You Won’t Miss The Wing…

The Drive 🤝 your inbox. Every weekday The Daily Brief wraps up the biggest stories and our exclusive reporting on the auto industry and car culture. By now, you’ve probably heard that diesel prices are going through the roof. If you drive a gasoline-powered car, you may not be too concerned about it. But the reality is that rising diesel prices contribute significantly to the inflating prices of all consumer goods—from electronics to food, and, yes, even cars—because the country’s cargo infrastructure depends on it. And right now, truckers are paying a pretty penny to fill up. A truck driver…

The revamped projects feature in Claude Code allows users to run multiple agents under the same roof, with a shared memory, goals, and library of files and artifacts. Similar to Grok Bot and other tools that manage groups of AI agents, each project has “threads” running different tasks in parallel, with a “coordinator” directing everything:Under the hood, each thread is a Claude Code cloud session working on its own branch and copy of the repo. The coordinator keeps work organized, but if any threads work on the same code, the overlap is resolved as a merge conflict just like any…

Automotive The decision of how to sell a used car usually gets framed around asking price. The private sale listing shows more zeroes, so the logic goes that it puts more money in the seller’s pocket. But the asking price and the net amount the seller actually receives at the end of the process are two different numbers, and the gap between them is where the private sale’s apparent advantage often disappears. Working through the full accounting of both options produces a more honest comparison. What the private sale actually costs A private sale in British Columbia involves…

Just buy a basic gaming PC instead. Razer If you’ve been looking to get more gaming power out of your laptop but don’t want to pay for a replacement amid RAMpocalypse pricing, an eGPU could be your best bet. An eGPU is an external graphics processor, usually a desktop graphics card in an enclosure connected to a compatible laptop or gaming handheld through Thunderbolt or USB4. They can be pretty good at taking over rendering, meaning even thinner and weaker machines can run more demanding games with one plugged in, but there are many caveats. A…
