Steering wheels are the standard for a reason, but that hasn’t stopped automakers from playing around with alternative ideas, if only on concept cars.

You might not have to brave crowded stores to get your child’s back-to-school gear. Uber Eats now offers deliveries of office and school supplies from roughly 900 Office Depot and OfficeMax stores across the US. If you need a flurry of binders and pencils for your little one’s classes, you can have them delivered during your lunch break.
Not surprisingly, you’ll avoid the delivery fee and receive a 5 percent discount if you’re an Uber One subscriber who spends at least $15 on a purchase. Uber didn’t say if other office supply shops would be available, but did note this was the “first.”
It may seem odd to order school material through the same app that handles your takeout meals. However, Uber has gradually expanded its deliveries to cover goods ranging from groceries to pharmaceuticals — like DoorDash, Eats is becoming more of a general delivery service. In theory, you’ll pick Uber Eats over rivals like Amazon Prime Now whenever you need something shipped in minutes, not hours or days.
“I never thought I’d live to see the day,” the Native American actor and activist said of the apology.
For the first time since Amazon released the Fire 7 earlier this year, the company has discounted the base model — the one with 16GB of storage and lock screen ads — to $45. You can also get the 32GB variant on sale. After a 19 percent discount, it’s $65 – or just $5 more than what you would pay for the 16GB version normally. Amazon offers the Fire 7 in three colors (Black, Denim and Rose), all of which are included in the company’s current promotion.
The new 2022 model features a handful of small enhancements over its predecessor. The most notable one is the addition of USB-C charging. It also comes with 2GB of RAM (up from 1GB on the previous generation model) and the same 2GHz processor found on the Fire HD 8. Amazon also claims you can get up to 10 hours of battery life from the new model. That said, don’t expect a fast experience from the Fire 7. When she reviewed the tablet earlier this summer, Engadget’s Nicole Lee found it would often hiccup when she would navigate the interface or try to do any multitasking. The 1,024 by 600 screen is also a disappointment. It produces images that look dull and muddy.
For those reasons, the Fire 7 isn’t a great tablet for most people. However, if you can get past its flaws and know what to expect from a tablet that normally costs $65, it’s a decent enough device for reading and surfing the web.
