Do Portable Cigarette Lighter Heaters Work? Cigarette lighter heaters are designed to convert energy from your car’s electrical system into heated air. The problem is they can only draw so much power, so the resulting heat is paltry. That also means they cannot stand in for a standard vehicle heating system. Car cigarette lighters are 12-volt outlets and most cigarette lighter heaters can deliver only around 150 watts of energy, which isn’t much when compared to a common blow dryer, which usually blasts up to 2000 watts of heat....

It’s a brave move. Google has honed its search engine for years, and it’s truly excellent, once you get past the product comparison junk on the first page. Even Bing, which has the power of Microsoft behind it, isn’t nearly as good as Google. Ethical search engines like DuckDuckGo know this. Instead of trying to index the web all over again, they combine results from various existing search engines. Brave is going at it alone....

According to Apple rumormonger extraordinaire Mark Gurman, Apple may still be working on a multi-device charging mat similar to its never-released AirPower product. And in the meantime, long-time Apple collaborator and accessory make Belkin is already onto version two of its MagSafe 3-in-1 charging pad. But other than making a great gift, what’s the point? “A universal charger design, whether USB-C or another standard, would absolutely be more useful, but also present fewer opportunities for Apple to sell new products,” Devon Fata, CEO of design company Pixoul, told Lifewire via email....

Google was expected to announce or release a Pixel Fold phone in 2021. The phone was never officially announced, but leaked documents, supply chain rumors, and Google’s debut of Android 12L (a version of Android for folding phones and tablets) suggested the Pixel Fold was underway. But according to a new report from Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), that is no longer the case. “DSCC has confirmed with its supply chain sources that Google has decided not to bring the Pixel Fold to market,” Ross Young, CEO of DSCC, said in the report on the company’s website....

The Stream Deck + features an array of mappable buttons, similar to the previous generation Stream Deck, but adds four knobs to make minor adjustments. There’s also an LED touch strip for navigating to different pages of apps and activating certain functions—think of this as a larger and more useful version of Apple’s much-maligned Touch Bar. The four knobs specialize in volume adjustments, EQ adjustments, camera zoom, and more. All of these adjustments are made on the fly as you stream, which is what makes these devices so popular....

When big companies buy small companies, they might shut them down and strip the assets (the Gordon Gecko approach). They might keep the company running with promises not to change anything and then change everything (the Facebook-Instagram method), or they might just let everything tick along as it is, at the risk of forgetting they even own it (the Skype maneuver). But in the case of Bandcamp, the first question is, why did a video games behemoth buy an indie music platform at all?...
