Mercedes-Benz’s new Apple Watch app replicates the functionality of its mobile app so you don’t need to always reach for your phone. | Image: Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz announced today it’s bringing popular features from its mobile app to the Apple Watch so owners can interact with their vehicles from their wrists without having to reach for their smartphone. The company joins a growing number of automakers adding watchOS capabilities, including Honda, Ford, and Volvo. The new app, available now through the Apple Watch App Store, is compatible with Apple Watches running watchOS 9 or later, but requires Mercedes-Benz’s mobile app to be installed on the iPhone the wearable is connected to. MercedesBenz owners can use the watch app to monitor their vehicle’s charge or fuel levels and its estimated range, lock and unlock it remotely, check that the windows are closed, and locate it when...

The Charger by Counterpart has a built-in 4-foot USB-C cable that can be retracted with the press of a button. | Image: Counterpart The switch to USB-C has vastly simplified my life, and I am very grateful for it, but I still struggle with cable clutter. Dealing with gadgets and gizmos for a family of four means the outlets on my kitchen counter resemble an unappealing bowl of silicon spaghetti, which is why this new $44 Counterpart Charger caught my eye. This compact charger includes a built-in 4-foot USB-C cable that — here’s the handy part — retracts with the press of a button, leaving you cable-free. It delivers 35 Watts of GaN charging, which is enough for most phones, tablets, Switches, and the occasional pair of headphones that invariably collect on my counter in search of power. It would even do for my MacBook Air in a pinch. I’ve been using retractable... Continue reading…

I've been a fan of the iPhone 17 Air rumor for months now, hoping that Apple will indeed release its thinnest iPhone in years, or perhaps ever. After using the iPhone 16 Plus for nearly two months, I'm convinced I need an iPhone with a large display, but I definitely want it to be a lot thinner. I'll probably buy the iPhone 17 Air as soon as it comes out next year, even though I'll have to accept certain compromises. Considering what Apple did with the ultra-thin M4 iPad Pro, I knew the camera would be the phone's main compromise. The battery size is another obvious area where Apple will have to make compromises. But a new report gives us a few additional issues iPhone 17 Air buyers might have to deal with. Among them, there's a change that could prove to be my biggest concern about buying an ultra-thin iPhone. It's also something I didn't see coming: The potential lack of a physical SIM card slot.

Ebenezer Scrooge’s fictional gravestone has been plundered in real life by a vandal, who is being sought after by Shrewsbury town’s police. It was used as a movie prop in the 1984 version of A Christmas Carol, making the site at St. Chad’s Church a tourist attraction ever since. According to town clerk Helen Ball, what is left of the tomb are bits of stone, as it was smashed beyond recognition that one cannot even Ebenezer Scrooge’s name. She is working to replace or repair the stone, as fans of the movie flock to the area as the Christmas holidays approach. Ebenezer Scrooge’s gravestone was broken into several pieces A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Fredric March, aired December 23, 1954 West Mercia Police noted that the incident happened between Thursday and Sunday, with photos showing the irreparable damage done as Ebenezer Scrooge’s gravestone was broken into many pieces. Ball hoped the ghosts of past, present, and future from the movie would visit the vandal for poetic justice. Speaking of ghosts, the gravestone featured in the scene where the ghost of the future showed Ebenezer Scrooge how he would end up if he refused to change from being a greedy boss and friend. It was at that point that Ebenezer Scrooge decided to become a better person. ‘A Christmas Carol’ The mid-’80s adaptation of A Christmas Carol was one of many based on Charles Dickens’s classic of the same title. Director Clive Donner also worked on the 1951 version, where Alastair Sim played Scrooge. Aside from movies, the holiday classic has been retold via musicals, children’s books, and animated versions like The Muppet Christmas Carol in 1992. A CHRISTMAS CAROL, from left, Basil Rathbone, Fredric March, aired December 23, 1954 The 1984 version stands out for its adherence to Dickens’ original themes and has influenced the latest adaptations like Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell’s Spirited in 2022. The Sean Anders-directed musical focused on the ghost of Christmas present played by Ferrell, who tried to reform a cynical media consultant.
