AnyGlove Solution Makes Any Glove Touchscreen-Compatible

It’s winter and people still need to use their smartphones or tablets as much as ever. But buying a dedicated pair of touchscreen gloves could be an unnecessary expense. AnyGlove is a special solution that claims to make any glove touchscreen-compatible.

AnyGlove’s secret potion works by simply putting a few drops on the fingertips of your gloves, providing the proper conductive properties to make capacitive touchscreens work. The concoction isn’t permanent, and you’ll need to reapply it every few days, depending on how much you use your gloves. Also, the liquid can stain lighter colored fabrics and yarns, but it’s invisible on darker materials.

You can get AnyGlove from Amazon for $14.95(USD). Depending on how long it lasts, it might be cheaper to just buy touchscren gloves, but I’m definitely curious to try these on my motorcycle gloves.

Nissan pins Leaf’s WattStation charging woes on a software bug, works on a fix

Nissan Leaf in desert

GE and Nissan had previously ruled out GE’s WattStation as the cause of a few Leaf charging failures, and that story of EV tragedy looks to be winding to a close with a more definitive explanation. As the two tell us, a bug in the Leaf’s on-board charging software can damage the relevant hardware under a perfect storm of conditions: if a drivers uses a specific (but not necessarily GE) charger, an undervoltage or similar power crisis can bring the Leaf to its knees. Nissan says it’s hurrying towards a remedy, although we’re working to confirm just what that entails. In the meantime, the automaker is asking owners to be cautious and avoid plugging in when there’s lightning or brownouts in the making.
