How we power our homes has become one of the most important conversations in consumer technology. Not in the abstract, policy-heavy way it used to be discussed, but in a far more personal sense. People want homes that are smarter, more resilient during outages, less affected by rising electricity costs, and increasingly capable of running more of daily life independently.  The growing interest in residential solar reflects this dramatic shift. What was once framed as an environmental decision or a long-term cost-saving measure is now evaluated through an entirely different lens. Reliability matters. Ease of ownership matters. Design matters. Integration with the rest of the connected home matters even more.  Tesla Solar Panels are engineered with that expectation in mind, bringing the same simplicity, visibility, and seamless integration…

We recently mused on the idea of British luxury car makers collaborating on a bespoke, Trump-branded gift for the US president. Of course, there’s a long tradition of special vehicles for state leaders, and indeed many of them have been true petrolheads. ‘The Donald’ may favour big V8s, but the first official car of any US president was powered by steam. It seems it was secretary of war William Taft who instigated the government’s purchase of two White Pullman tourers in 1907. “The cars perform countless missions for the Secret Service men and for other government officials at the ‘summer capital,”…

Amazon’s updated search bar will now show you AI-generated images of products as you describe them. For now, the in-app feature only surfaces AI images of clothing and home goods, allowing you to tap on the image that best matches what you’re looking for and search for similar-looking items.In a blog post, Amazon positions the feature as a way to help you search for items if you can’t remember the name of a specific texture or style, like describing a “shirt with a draped collar” if you can’t think of “cowl neck.” The feature seems like it might come in…

When you imagine a street bike, it is usually pigeonholed as a commuter or a humble city dweller. Basically, a capable motorcycle built to get you from point A to point B in comfort. Yes, the practical side of it makes sense. But what about the fun side? The excitement of being able to play around a bit, lean into corners, and at times also pull a wheelie once in a while to please your inner child. This is where supermoto bikes come into play. They turn your everyday, mundane commutes into your personal gymkhana course. It is a niche…

The biggest car news and reviews, no BS Our free daily newsletter sends the stories that really matter directly to you, every weekday.

Unexpected not because anyone thought Leclerc would leave his cushy position at Maranello, but because hardly anyone was keeping a close eye on the status of his contract, as is usually the case with other top Formula 1 drivers in top teams. Why is that? Likely because it would appear that, after seven years…
