According to Droid Life, the Galaxy S8 line has been on quarterly updates for the past year, something Samsung tends to do when a device is nearing the end of its lifespan. The company did the same with the Samsung Galaxy S7, which Samsung ended support for last April. With support for the S8 ended, that makes the Galaxy S9 the oldest Samsung device still receiving updates, at least for the time being....
Until now, electric cars and self-driving vehicles have been novelties. They’re experimental flavors of regular, human-steered, gas-powered vehicles. But that’s changing. Instead of just using a computer to turn the steering wheel and operate the pedals, vehicles are morphing to better fit their purposes. But it may take a while to get there. After all, it’s one thing buying an electric car, but another keeping it charged. “I’d guess more than 50% of Americans wouldn’t have reliable access to charging stations right now,” John Brownlee, editor at Folks magazine, told Lifewire via Twitter, “even if the price of an electric car were no object....

This proposal seems reasonable, as do the other requirements in the new infrastructure bill: technology to stop people from leaving kids in hot cars and automatic emergency braking to avoid crashes. But should cars be able to police us like this? And will people accept these changes? “I believe that if a law is mandated, people would accept it,” used-car dealership owner Mark Beneke told Lifewire via email. “Some of the population may be in an uproar about it at first, but over time they would realize that it is a requirement for them to operate a vehicle....
When customers step above the $300 mark for a pair of Bluetooth-enabled, noise-canceling headphones, they expect a lot—and rightfully so. In addition to the basics, they want high fidelity, lots of audio finesse, an easy-to-use app, and plenty of bass. In the case of the Skullcandy Crusher ANC headphones, they get most of those. I found the Crusher ANC headphones to be about as subtle and nuanced as the brand and model name suggests....
The company is all set to launch the “world’s first production-ready solar car” called the Lightyear 0. It’s a streamlined and energy-efficient sedan-style EV that’s covered with curved solar panels. “The shift to solar power is a necessary change that’s happening now and will only continue to grow,” Julia Fowler, Marketing Coordinator at solar specialist vendor Pvilion, told Lifewire over email. “This vehicle is a huge stride for the industry and just the beginning of a future where nearly everything is powered by solar....
According to 9to5Mac, the bug has been popping up on all platforms that use the Apple TV app, whether it’s tvOS, other smart TVs, or external streaming devices like Chromecast or Roku. There doesn’t seem to be a clear pattern to the bug either, as it’s not affecting all users or media with any consistency. 9to5Mac theorizes that this could be a digital rights management (DRM) error that’s blocking audio as a copyright protection measure, despite the media being properly paid for....
The Soundcore Liberty Air 2 wireless earbuds are a nuts-and-bolts option for those who want true wireless earbuds with passable sound quality and don’t want to spend a small fortune. That sort of middle-of-the-road approach is something that the Soundcore brand does well. As a sister-company to Anker—a brand known for quality, affordable mobile accessories—it would make sense that these earphones aren’t breaking any sound quality records, but also don’t break the bank....
The hope is that Enhance will make it easier for you to create new playlists, whether you’re looking to expand your musical horizons or capture a specific mood. It’s a purely optional feature, though, so if you aren’t interested you can always turn it off (or never turn it on). If you do turn Enhance on, Spotify will provide its own recommendations based on the track list you’re listening to....
If you’re looking for a pair of the best wireless headphones, then the Status BT One seems to fit the bill. On paper they’re an attractive value proposition, but are they really as good a bargain as they seem? Design: Too much plastic From a distance and in ads, the Status BT One appear to be premium quality headphones. However, I was disappointed by how plasticky their design is. They are by no means poorly made, and the plastic seems relatively robust, but I’m not convinced that these headphones will hold up to the rigors of daily use for long....

If you see that, or an Install Windows screen, or a System Recovery Options screen, you’re in good shape and can continue on to the next step....
