Online stores have a common problem: you usually get recommendations based solely on what you’ve already seen or bought, which isn’t much good if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. Amazon is testing a solution that might eliminate that i…

Tesla may have had the early bird advantage in electric cars, but while increasing competition from vehicles like the new 2019 Audi e-tron may give Elon Musk’s business plan a headache, for drivers it’s all good news. The new electric SUV won’t just headline Audi’s new electric car strategy when it arrives in dealerships next year: it’ll also mark a … Continue reading

Lyft’s Concierge service, which opened up to all businesses earlier this year, lets companies and organizations hail rides for their customers, patients and employees. While it lets those businesses offer an additional service, it’s not always clear…
When you think of a robot, a certain image probably comes to mind. Maybe it’s on wheels, maybe it’s a dog, but it’s probably a sizeable electronic machine built specifically for a purpose. But what if you could create a flexible robot that could have…
Today a leak of the backside of the OnePlus 6T shows one previous rendering-based tip to be untrue. It would seem that the OnePlus 6T won’t have three cameras on its back, after all. Instead, if we’re to believe what’s been shared today, the OnePlus 6T will come with two cameras on its back, not unlike its predecessor released earlier … Continue reading
Worried that your teens might be spending way too much time on their smartphones? Or do you just want them to put them down at the dinner table? Google’s got your back. It has added new features to its Family Link app which enable parents to remotely turn off their teen’s smartphone.
Family Link is a hub for parental control that was launched by Google last year. It enabled the company to provide kids under their 13 own accounts with the supervision of their parents. Family Link features are now being expanded to cover teens.
The parental control hub lets parents set screen time limits, approve and block apps from the Play Store, location their kids, and even lock the devices when they want their kids to take a break. All of these features are currently working with Android smartphones and will also work with Chromebooks in the near future.
Parents will now be able to remotely lock their teenagers’ smartphones through Family Link by giving a voice command to Google Assistant. They just have to say something like “Hey Google, lock Tiffany’s device,” and Tiffany will get only a few minutes to get done with whatever she’s doing on the phone before it’s locked remotely.
Teens will have the ability to override these controls but parents will be notified if they do. If they do decide to disable the controls, they will have to wait for 24 hours before the phone can be unlocked.

Following in the footsteps of Nintendo, Sony has announced a new plug-and-play console based on one of its classic gaming systems. While it looks just like the original PlayStation, the PlayStation Classic is 45% smaller than the original, in large part because it doesn’t have a CD-ROM drive.
The system will cost $99.99 in the US and Canada, and that gets you 20 classic games, most of which have yet to be announced. We do know that among the games will be classics like Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms. Sadly, the lack of a CD-ROM drive probably means those are the only games it will ever play, unless someone manages to hack it to do more.
The system will also include two classic PlayStation controllers for local multiplayer action, as well as a USB cable for power and a HDMI cable as well. An AC adapter will be sold at an additional cost. The console will launch on December 3, 2018, and you can pre-order it now from Best Buy.
