2025 is here, and it’s weird living in the future. But some things remain the same: Early January still stinks, and all the good movies have already been released and watched. Nosferatu? Seen it. A Complete Unknown? Watched it on opening day. What’s a person to do for the weekend? I should probably exercise, but I’d rather watch a good movie or two. Netflix and (HBO) Max has plenty of them, and these 6 underrated movies are just the ticket for spending quality time at home. One is a recent arrival you may not have heard of, while the other…

Volkswagen offshoot Scout Motors is getting a jump-start on CES 2025 next week, with some good news for people who plan to take the company’s EVs way, way outdoors: The forthcoming Traveler SUV and Terra pickup will have a built-in satellite connection.

All it’s saying at the moment is that the vehicles will be “pre-wired from the factory” and that the hotspot is “intended to have broad reach to help drivers and passengers stay connected in and around their vehicle.” The…
Dara Khosrowshahi is resigning from the board of autonomous vehicle technology company Aurora Innovation, citing a desire to focus on his ongoing responsibilities as CEO of Uber and reduce external board commitments, according to a Friday regulatory filing.

The deal at the time involved Uber handing over its equity in ATG and investing…

Just when you thought you were done shopping for now, Incase, the manufacturer of the Microsoft accessory line, revealed a new compact yet expensive keyboard on its website.

Incase claims you can sync up to three devices to the Microsoft keyboard with Bluetooth 5.1, but you will need two AAA batteries that Incase claims will last 36 months. We’ll have to…

Rust is one of the kings of multiplayer survival sandbox games, pitting players against each other and the environment in what sometimes feels like a never-ending stream of chaos. While undeniably popular, the title just hit a new player count record (262,284 concurrent users) a whopping 11 years after release — and a looming update is to thank for that.
