CATL’s new Shenxing LFP battery just clocked a 6-minute full charge, beating BYD’s Blade 2.0. It hits 10-98% in 6:27 and even handles -30°C temps with ease. We’re officially reaching gas-station speeds for EV refueling. Amazing! Will we finally switching from gas powered to electric powered soon?

It is on my watchlist: The Sheep Detectives (May 8th in theaters, hopefully streaming soon) featuring Hugh Jackson as George, the Shephard.

Tucker Carlson just admitted he helped put Trump in power. But this was always coming. Trump always wanted power — just for the wrong reasons. He was never going to keep his promises. And that's exactly why he was never the right person for this job.

"It's a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. We'll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be. And I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people." —Tucker Carlson

America deserved better from the start.

Samsung just expanded Galaxy Connect to non-Galaxy Book Windows PCs. Sounds cool, but it’s also been causing C: drive lockouts on some systems. Already happy with Phone Link, so… is it worth trying Galaxy Connect or should I just leave it alone?
