[Editor’s Note: Cold Start is running in the afternoon because I forgot to publish it this morning. Sorry! – JT] My friend Brandon sent me some photos of an HHR he spotted in a parking lot in Michigan a few weeks back, and I have to admit that my initial reaction was to recoil. Look at all the cheesy badges just glued to that sheetmetal! Yikes! But a closer look brought me into the light, because I don’t hate this HHR....

That’s what I expected. Honestly, I thought it would be even more lopsided, though I see that both cars have sold already, so there wasn’t really a bad choice. Today, we have “THE BEST RUNNING/RIDING $2K CAR YOU CAN FIND,” at least in the Atlanta suburbs, and what looks to be a real cream puff of a Dodge, located in Florida. What say we kick their tires and see what they have to offer?...

We think AT&T’s fiber internet has this win in the bag thanks to its fast speeds and low prices. But if you’ve only got AT&T DSL service in your area, Spectrum is the clear winner. Even if you can get AT&T Fiber in your area, Spectrum still offers no contracts and fairly reasonable prices. We dug into all the details on how these two internet service providers (ISPs) stack up, so let’s dive in....

But soon the pair got to work. Kılıç is the founding engineer and Özvataf the CTO of software startup Datapad. Both are well-known members of the Turkish tech scene—Özvataf was previously an engineering director for Getir, Turkey’s first decacorn—and between them they have nearly three decades of experience in the industry. They began mobilizing colleagues over Twitter, and within hours they had brought together a rapid response movement, dubbed simply “Earthquake Help Project,” bootstrapping tech to help NGOs and rescue teams on the ground....

Before I go into this report – I’m just looking at the Level 2 one now, because the full ADS one deals with situations too different to be compared together– I should make clear where I personally stand when it comes to these systems: I think L2 driver assist systems are inherently flawed, which I’ve explained many times before. My opinion on L2 is that it is always going to be compromised, not for any specific technical reasons, but because these systems place humans into roles they’re just not good at, and introduce a paradox where the more capable a Level 2 system is, the worse people tend to be at remaining vigilant, because the more it does and the better it does it, the less the human feels the need to monitor carefully and be ready to take over....

Ford let me see and hear the new F-150 Raptor R last month, but only from a distance. The thing sounded great, but that’s about all I could surmise from the short sprint across the desert floor a few hundred yards from where I then stood. Now, finally, we’ve got more details. Let’s start with the important bits: A supercharged 5.2-liter V8 – the same one from the Mustang GT-500 – pumps out 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic....

And we’re going to guess that you want a TV that will make you feel immersed in the game. You want the best color, picture, sound, and reaction time, all for a reasonable price. If we’re right, you have to check out our top five 4K TVs for gaming on your Xbox Series X, PS5, or Xbox One. Let’s get into the details of the best 4K TV for your bedroom or living room....

Aren’t we all! Thankfully, fiber-optic internet gets you both fast speeds and superb reliability. And while you might think fiber internet in your area or within your price range is still a dream, we assure you, it’s not. Many internet service providers (ISPs) have expanded their fiber footprints to bring speedy internet to much of the US–and at pretty reasonable prices. But which of these fiber ISPs deserves your money?...

A mind-boggling storyline, classic whodunits, cool-cat tricks and the unexpected occasional twists in the ending scenes are the staples of any spy-fi movie. This particular genre matured during the period of World War II. It reached its zenith during the cold war. A perfect mixture of adrenaline and fear creates the best spy-fi movie. Below are some of the most proficient spy movies in their own clever ways. If you are looking for a list of some incredible spy-fi movies, we are going to provide you with one....

That changed after Nick Drombosky, an engineer and entrepreneur who has made a hobby of studying industrial accidents, gave a science lesson on TikTok. His video breaking down the chemicals found at the scene has been viewed millions of times, and people have posted countless other videos about the derailment to the platform. “If I didn’t come out and say something, I think that this could have just been swept under,” says Drombosky, who has a personal connection to someone affected by the disaster in East Palestine who alerted him to the derailment....

Making a pledge is the easy part. In 2023, we will see businesses held to account for what they actually deliver. Organizations will be forced to show that the commitments they’ve made are meaningful, providing transparent and ongoing proof that they are taking necessary actions to reduce their carbon emissions. For too long, businesses have been pouring investment into traditional emissions-avoidance offsets—paying someone else to reduce future emissions to compensate for their own....

Unsurprisingly, this barchetta-style Miata is the work of an engineer (David Galliano) and an Italian car journalist (Omar Abu Eideh). Even in Europe Miata is always the answer. The genesis of this particular vehicle, also unsuprisingly, seems to have started over drinks: The result of a long brainstorming is the “NM concept”: it’s a Naked Monoposto (italian for single-seater) made from a restored NA. It has a modified chassis and improved components....

The crux of the Department of Justice’s probe seems to be related to the disparity between how Autopilot is marketed and promoted and the actual realities of what the system is capable of. This imbalance is at the heart of pretty much all Level 2 systems, as a study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety revealed earlier this month. People who use Level 2 semi-automated driving systems – which require an alert driver to be ready to take control back with no warning – seem to think their systems are much more capable than they are, which can lead to serious safety issues....

The ruling, which comes with a €390 million ($414 million) fine attached, is targeted specifically at Facebook and Instagram, but it’s a huge blow to Big Tech as a whole. It’s also a sign that GDPR, Europe’s landmark privacy law that was introduced in 2018, actually has teeth. More than 1,400 fines have been introduced since it took effect, but this time the bloc’s regulators have shown they are willing to take on the very business model that makes surveillance capitalism, a term coined by American scholar Shoshana Zuboff, tick....

It starts with the N-Van, a van unique in that it has no B-pillar on the passenger side. Imagine flinging open the front door and sliding it to find a massive opening the size of a storefront window, with the limits of what you can load through it being more creative than physical. Why not hang an awning, pack a pit bike, or take a flying leap into your vehicle?...

(Full Disclosure: Toyota invited me to Austin, Texas to attend the Toyota Crown’s reveal. The company paid for my travel and a night in a swanky resort.) I know a lot of you are excited right now, because the Crown has long been a piece of forbidden fruit for Americans. First arriving in America in 1958, the Crown stuck around until only 1972. In its 15 generations its has grown from a harsh car built for unimproved roads to an understated luxury cruiser that JDM fans love to import to the country....

The online testing software helps in proper designing of the test papers by selecting from the set of the random questions and the same can be shared with different users. The software can even assign the date and the time as part of the test with the available limit. With things assigned accurately, you can make the best use of the data for the completion of the test in style....

The origins of the motorhome and the camper go back even further than this Model T. Before the 20th century, covered wagons allowed families and communities to traverse entire countries. People lived out of wagons as they migrated and explored. But those people weren’t camping out of wagons just for the fun of it. As the Smithsonian Magazine writes, the concept of camping for fun didn’t come around until the late 1800s....
