Elon Musk’s Boring Company Is Planning a Tunnel to Dodger Stadium
The proposed 3.6-mile route would take fans from the metro to the parking lot, saving them from hellish Los Angeles traffic.
One of the cheapest thin-and-light convertibles we’ve tested to pack in a quad-core 8th-generation Intel CPU, the Lenovo Flex 6 14 boasts peppy productivity performance and solid battery life for a relatively budget price. Unfortunately, the Flex comes saddled with a dim screen and iffy graphics, disappointing given the system’s discrete Nvidia graphics core. If you don’t care about gaming or photo editing and you’re on a budget, the Flex might be worth considering, but if you’re shopping for true graphics power in an ultraportable, look elsewhere (perhaps at the Asus ZenBook 13).
Thinkware’s $329 dual-channel Dash Cam F800 Pro is a somewhat mild improvement over the F800 we reviewed last year, offering enhancements such as better power management for hard-wired installations and a different color scheme, while retaining the best-in-the-business night captures.
The new feature that truly differentiates the F800 Pro from the older version is Thinkware Cloud, which allows you to share videos uploaded to your phone with other devices via Thinkware’s web portal. However, the Cloud feature is unwieldy and too phone-reliant for professional use, making it more of a perk than a game-changer.
Dash cams are already essential in many countries because of scam artists who try to create accidents so they can sue you. They’ve also proven useful for catching cars flying into buildings, or the occasional meteor, as happened in Thailand and in Russia a few years ago.
But while auto con artists aren’t as common here, recording your excursions is a reasonable precaution to take—especially if you’re driving professionally.
