Ford's electric F-150 truck pull

It's Wednesday, July 24, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Good morning to everyone that isn’t subject to an antitrust investigation by the Justice Department. Ford is putting EV torque to entertaining use, and Nintendo is supposedly ready to help out Switch owners with Joy-Con drift problems. (View in browser.) Tesla’s ‘cyberpunk’ truck will have some competition. Watch Ford’s electric F-150 tow over a million pounds Ford is trying to show its rabid pickup truck fans that EVs aren't just for latte-sipping Tesla pilots. In an impressive demonstration of torque, an electric F-150 prototype towed 10 double-decker rail cars stuffed with 42 current-model F-150s, weighing over a million pounds (500 tons) in total. If you’ve already paid for repairs, you may be able to get a refund. Report: Nintendo will repair Switch Joy-Cons with 'drift' issues for free According to an internal memo obtained by Vice, the gaming giant has told support reps not to charge customers for Joy-Con repairs if the controllers are manifesting the infamous drifting behavior that causes them to move things on the screen on their own. They were even told that it's no longer necessary to request for proof of purchase -- they can take customers at their word. Facebook, Apple, Amazon and Google are among the companies being scrutinized. Justice Department launches sweeping review of competition in tech The Department of Justice is launching a comprehensive antitrust review of "market-leading online platforms" to see if they're abusing their leading positions. There's no definite goal beyond determining whether or not there are any anti-competitive practices. The review will focus on internet platforms involving search, shopping and social networking.

In case of emergency: The tech that might save you Look, nature is beautiful. It's fun. But it can also be unpredictable and dangerous. Part of being mentally prepared is knowing when your wits alone aren't enough and getting the right gear to help you in the event of an emergency. Managing editor Terrence O’Brien has a few suggestions. Time to power them up. Apple is updating old iPhone and iPad models to fix a GPS issue In addition to releasing iOS 12.4, Apple has also announced that it's patching older versions of the platform for devices that can't run the latest rollouts. We're talking about models as old as the iPhone 4s and the first-generation iPad mini. It’s all about keeping the GPS working without falling prey to a 10-bit rollover error. Just don’t try to put any discs in it. Origin crammed an Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and gaming PC into one case In honor of the company's 10th anniversary -- and to celebrate the legacy of its half PC, half Xbox 360 Big O desktop -- Origin PC has created a mammoth new custom gaming PC, featuring every major console on the market: an Xbox One X, a PlayStation 4 Pro and a Nintendo Switch. Catch some college games this fall even if you’ve cut the cord. How to stream college sports without losing your mind As Billy Steele explains, "I'm all for cutting the cord, but it's difficult to live without live television if you're a sports fan. Cable companies still have a foothold thanks to sports, but you don't have to saddle yourself with that headache in order to follow your team(s)." But wait, there's more... 1. Amazon Key will now deliver to the trunk of some Hondas 2. Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar review: A $2,500 bag of tricks 3. Pizza Hut tests Amazon Locker-style 'cubbies' for carryout orders 4.

It's Tuesday, July 23, 2019. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. If you’re heading back to school -- or shopping for someone who is -- we have some relevant electronics advice. Also, Equifax’s big data-breach settlement isn’t as big as it seems, and it’s time to update your Apple stuff. (View in browser.) Our most comprehensive set of recommendations ever. Introducing Engadget's 2019 Back-to-School Guide As editor-in-chief Dana Wollman explains: "In addition to top picks in 11 categories -- everything from laptops to smartphones to gaming and dorm gear -- we went big on tips and buying advice this year. We didn't just want to tell you what to buy, but we wanted to help you choose wisely, and then make the most out of whatever you chose." They have security fixes, too, so update ASAP. Apple releases iOS 12.4, watchOS 5.3 with Walkie Talkie bug fix iOS 12.4, HomePod 12.4, tvOS 12.4, watchOS 5.3 and macOS 10.14.6 are out, and most of them bring important tweaks. The iOS update is most useful if you're setting up a new iPhone -- you can wireless transfer data directly from an old handset to a new one instead of restoring from iCloud or iTunes. Divide the penalty by 143 million. The Equifax data-breach settlement will only cost it $4 per person The company has agreed to settle with the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, attorneys general and New York's Department of Financial Services over its massive 2017 data breach. It will pay between $575 million to $700 million to victims, states and regulators, including a restitution fund that will pay up to $425 million to provide credit monitoring for up to 10 years.

You might have to be a die-hard fan to get ‘Star Trek: Picard’ After checking on the Comic-Con trailer for CBS All Access’ latest Trek spinoff, Dan Cooper is wondering whether casual fans will get enough from the show to keep watching.

Get early looks at 'Watchmen,' 'The Witcher' and much, much more. The biggest Amazon Prime, Disney+, HBO, Netflix, Hulu and CBS All Access news from Comic-Con And on that note, you might have caught a few of these trailers and reveals from SDCC over the weekend, but we’ve corralled all the big shows on all the streaming services you can expect in the next year or so.

Editor's Pick: Why We All Need to Learn to Live on Camera

Why We All Need to Learn to Live on Camera

Rob Enderle Jul 22, 2019 10:31 AM PT

I was struck by a recent video of a soldier who apparently took some woman's parking spot and then went off the rails when she objected. He bad-mouthed the U.S. military and the U.S., abused his wife, and put his child at risk. A decade ago we probably wouldn't have seen this incident, but now there is a good chance that anyone who misbehaves, as this guy clearly did, will be caught on camera. [More...]
