Going under the hood of Honda's adorable EV

It's Saturday, June 15, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Now that E3 2019 is over there’s plenty of time to catch up on all of the gaming news revealed this week. Once you’re through with that, we’ve got some info about an appealing electric car, and a look back at the impact of Evangelion on 90s anime fans ahead of its debut on Netflix. Welcome to your weekend. (View in browser.) We already fell for the looks of the Honda E. Honda reveals more details about its adorable EV The company says power will be delivered through the rear wheels and feature four-wheel independent suspension that should make the ride more comfortable. The battery will also be located in the center of the car and below the floor, meaning the center of gravity will be low, and the weight of the car will be distributed evenly between front and back, giving more stability and better traction. Nanowire is simple yet multifunctional. The best weapon in 'Cyberpunk 2077' is a glowing orange garrote What can Jessica Conditt tell you about CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 after watching a dev navigate through it for nearly an hour? “This game is dense. These contained slices contain dozens of layers of customization and control, from skill trees to upgrades to individual dialogue choices, allowing players to craft a tailor-made tour through Night City.” Check out her impressions for more details, including information on how Keanu Reeves fits in. Welcome to the future. NFC-enabled Hot Wheels cars keep tabs on which is fastest Hot Wheels ID look like normal cars, but each carries a tiny NFC chip in the bottom that makes it possible to track each car's race time and speed. Now, when kids claim their car is the fastest, they have the data to back it up. Sponsored Content by GilletteLabs Now Available! The Heated Razor from GilletteLabs. Winner of Engadget's People's Choice Award at CES 2019. 'Eva is the epitome of the mecha show.' The Engadget Staff on 'Neon Genesis Evangelion' Neon Genesis Evangelion isn't just any old TV show, but one that's poised to be all anyone can talk about once it arrives. In the run-up to the show's worldwide Netflix debut on June 21st, our team looks back on why the show is so important and beloved. Can you feel it? PlayStation skipped E3, but Sony’s presence is everywhere Just because a company can present at E3 doesn’t mean it should. That’s why Sony is doing E3 without actually attending. Even the company’s press conference gap left space for Square Enix  to announce the release date of a major PlayStation exclusive. The PR machine is already buzzing along, with next-generation console details revealed in April and a launch date for the upcoming exclusive game Death Stranding. Jessica Conditt breaks down all the ways Sony is dominating the show floor even in its absence. The battle of the not-beef burgers. Beyond Meat answers Impossible Foods with 'meatier' plant patties Beyond Meat isn't going to sit by while Impossible creates juicier versions of its plant-based burgers. The company is rolling out a "meatier" version of the Beyond Burger to grocery stores across the US with a new mix of mung bean, pea and rice proteins. It even changes color from red to brown during cooking thanks to apple extract. You should see the next-gen Beyond Burger in meat aisles within the next two to three weeks, and you can recognize it by the red tab at the top. Season five review. 'Black Mirror' has nothing left to say Devindra Hardawar enjoyed all of his Bandersnatch playthroughs, but hoped Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker would give us more of an upgrade with the show's fifth season. Unfortunately, it's more of the same, with just a few bright spots. OTA TV on your Roku. HDHomeRun for Roku gives cord-cutters access to live TV Silicondust has released a Roku channel for its service called HDHomeRun OTA Live. At the moment, it's in its early beta stages and can only play over-the-air live TV -- viewers can use it to watch shows currently airing, check out the program guide and change channels, but that's pretty much it.  But wait, there's more... 1. Google revealed the Pixel 4 on Twitter 2. Microsoft's built-in Linux kernel for Windows 10 is ready for testing 3. 'Fall Guys' is a mini-game battle royale with up to 100 jelly-bean dudes 4. Jabra Elite 85h review: Noise cancellation to rival Bose and Sony 5. Tesla's first V3 Supercharging stations are open to the public 6. FedEx drops Amazon (at least for Express shipments in the US) 7. Chrome can display websites in dark mode, if you want it to 8. I'm worried about this 'Marvel's Avengers' game

Google's free game that makes new games

It's Friday, June 14, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. E3 2019 is finally over and our team is heading home after a long week. Of course, there’s still plenty of news to catch up on and a few stories popping up today, but two intriguing ones involve a Google incubator and Tesla’s in-car systems. Also, Target is taking the fight to Amazon with nationwide same-day delivery while Tyson is joining the meatless trend with new nuggets and burger patties. (View in browser.) This would probably make for a great horror movie score. Gamechanger Audio’s Motor Synth mechanically makes grungy synth music  There's no shortage of ways for synthesizers to generate sounds. Generally they rely on one of two tried-and-true technologies -- analog or digital oscillators. Gamechanger Audio, however, went a completely different route and turned to... motors. Specifically, eight high-precision brushless motors (like those used in drones). According to Terrence O’Brien, "The result is unlike anything I've heard come out of a synthesizer before. It's aggressive and rough, but still thoroughly enjoyable." Take that, Bezos. Target launches same-day delivery across the US Target announced that customers in 47 states will now be able to place orders on Target.com and have them delivered in as little as one hour. Deliveries cost a flat fee of $9.99 and will be fulfilled by Shipt, a delivery startup it acquired in 2017. Heard you like games. Google’s 'Game Builder' is a game where you build other gamers The latest project from Google’s Area 120 incubator asks the question: “What if creating games could be as easy and fun as playing them?” Game Builder uses a drag-and-drop, card-based visual programming system which doesn't require any coding. Though, if you want to take things up a level, you can build your own cards in Javascript. There are thousands of 3D models to work with when you're building characters, and it’s collaborative so multiple people can play and build in one environment simultaneously. Game Builder is available for free on Steam to PC and Mac players. Sponsored Content by GilletteLabs Now Available! The Heated Razor from GilletteLabs. Winner of Engadget's People's Choice Award at CES 2019. Netflix and YouTube, too. 'Fallout Shelter' is coming to Tesla cars Elon Musk turned up at E3 to announce that Fallout Shelter, along with Netflix and YouTube, will be available on Tesla’s in-car systems. It will be joined by Beach Buggy Racing 2, along with previously announced titles including classic Atari games and indie darling Cuphead. To play Tesla's eclectic lineup of games, users will have to keep their car in park -- which is probably for the best for everyone. The vehicles will support PS4 and Xbox controllers, though racing titles will be compatible with the car’s controls -- just not the accelerator pedal for obvious reasons. Elon also talked about simulations and how we’re living in one, because of course he did. It’s no ‘Dark Souls,’ but you won’t button mash your way through this one. 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order' is a delicate balance of light and dark Everything in Respawn’s upcoming Star Wars game feels like a balancing act. A story that bounces between swashbuckling action, buddy comedy and a dark, depressing war saga. Visuals and sound that pull from the original movie trilogy and, occasionally other projects set before A New Hope, like Rogue One. It all comes together in a package that, for now, feels tonally complex and narratively unique. The fight is on. Even Tyson is selling meatless protein alternatives Tyson, one of the biggest food producers in the US, is getting into the alternative protein game, but it hasn't embraced entirely plant-based products just yet. Its chicken nugget alternative contains egg, while the burger patties in the Raised & Rooted lineup are a blend of lean Angus beef and pea protein. The move underscores a growing demand, and makes Tyson a direct competitor to Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, both of which sell vegan plant-based proteins that are rapidly growing in popularity. After a 20-minute hands-off demo, we have some thoughts. I’m worried about this ‘Marvel’s Avengers’ game This Square Enix Marvel’s Avengers game is the combined effort of several studios, including the talent behind Tomb Raider (Crystal Dynamics) and Deus Ex (Eidos) as well as Crystal Northwest, and Nixxes Software. As Mat Smith explains: If they get it right, this could be the blockbuster game that the Avengers phenomenon deserves. If not, it will be an expensive mistake for everyone involved. But wait, there's more... 1. Huawei's foldable Mate X phone is delayed until September 2. The 'Link's Awakening' remake feels exactly like it should 3. Remedy's 'Control' is nearly a fantastic supernatural action game 4. Huawei trademarks its own Hongmeng mobile OS following US ban 5. Valve's latest 'Dota' spinoff is 'Underlords,' free beta starts next week 6. Samsung's $100 Galaxy Fit tracker focuses on the basics 7. Huawei's lock screens unexpectedly turn into advertisements 8. Apple's new Logic Pro X is built for the Mac Pro 9. CERN turns to open source software as Microsoft increases its fees 10. America's renewable energy capacity overtakes coal for the first time

Editor's Pick: Winners, Losers and No Shows at E3 2019

Winners, Losers and No Shows at E3 2019

Peter Suciu Jun 13, 2019 11:06 AM PT
	E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, was in full swing in Los Angeles this week. The annual trade show for the video game industry was not without a few surprises, a few disappointments and as usual a few companies that opted to forego the whole thing. Sony was among the companies that chose to skip the event, while rival Microsoft was present only via its annual press conference. [More...]

More Picks:

How to Sync Google Drive on Linux Two of the more commonly used cloud storage services for personal use are Google Drive and Dropbox. Both cloud services are simple to set up and use reliably. Either one can be a suitable choice for storing personal files using free or paid plans. That said, Google Drive requires a manual overhead to manage files through its Web browser-only interface. [More...]

Are You Gish-Galloping Your Business Toward Disruption? Recent events have led to many people learning about a long-understood rhetorical tactic called "Gish galloping." Named after creationist Duane Gish, it means confronting an opponent with a rapid-fire series of arguments -- including half-truths, misrepresentations and outright lies. Confronted with such a BS barrage, the opponent may try to refute each assertion, which is a losing proposition. [More...]

Internet's Crowds Stunting Its Growth: Trends Report More than half the world's population -- 3.8 billion people -- have access to the Internet and that may not be a good thing for business, according to digital savant Mary Meeker's Internet Trends 2019 report. Global Internet user growth has slowed to 6 percent year over year, down from 7 percent, noted the Bond Capital general partner. The Asia-Pacific region leads in both users and potential. [More...]

China-US Trade Tension Is Causing Irreparable Damage to High-Tech While trade disputes between countries are nothing new and seldom are remembered, the ongoing one between China and the United States may change the course of the electronics industry going forward. In the beginning of the dispute proposed tariffs excluded electronics for the most part. The U.S. even modified some initial proposals to avoid impacting Apple and other U.S. tech companies.
