WhatsApp’s New Update Is One Step Closer to Ending Your Phone App
Calling has become a core feature in WhatsApp, but since its introduction, it has evolved very little. Aside from messaging and video calls, it has remained a basic communication tool.

VW ID.4: Small Detail, Big Risk – Trouble For The E-Car
It’s a small detail in the VW ID.4 that is currently causing trouble. Normally, we talk about things like range, charging times, or software bugs when it comes to electric cars. But this time it’s about something that could easily be overlooked: the touch fields on the steering wheel. These are currently at the center of a rather controversial discussion – and even in court.

Your Next Smartwatch Might Never Need Charging Again. Here’s Why
The dream of spending more time with a device without constantly worrying about charging is something I’ve been writing about for years. I recently praised a smartphone simply because it managed to deliver true “all-day battery life.” With smartwatches, the challenge is even greater. Their compact form factor limits battery size, and bright displays that remain readable in daylight drain power quickly. That’s why every time I come across a potential solution to the dreaded “low battery” warning on a smartwatch, I pay close attention.
