| Stay prepared with Anker’s shock-activated Roav dash cam for just $45 Posted: 19 Feb 2018 12:05 PM PST Accidents can happen at any time, and proving fault isn’t always a clear-cut thing. If you have one of these Roav Dash Cams in your car, you’ll have all the proof you need to help you get things resolved after an accident. They’re down to just $44.99 at Amazon when you enter promo code CARCAMBD during checkout. That’s $15 below what it’s been selling for during the last few months. The shock-activated recording can help you see who hit your car even if you weren’t in it, and the superior nighttime clarity makes it great to use regardless of the time of day. It can work in hot and cold temperatures and comes with both a suction and 3M adhesive mount for you to use. You will need to pick up a microSD card to record your driving sessions, but that won’t cost you much. Anker backs this with a 12-month warranty, so why not grab one today? Be sure to use the coupon code above for the full discount. Powered by WPeMatico The post Stay prepared with Anker’s shock-activated Roav dash cam for just $45 appeared first on Guaripete. |
| Some Industrial Design Experts Say the HomePod White Ring Issue Can Easily be Fixed Posted: 19 Feb 2018 12:05 PM PST  Gregor Berkowitz, a product development consultant for consumer electronic brands, said that Apple could possibly "re-tool" the manufacturing process to correct the issue. That could take anywhere from two to six weeks.
The issue isn't specific to Apple as the Sonos One can leave the same type of marks on oil-finished wood. But one designer said the issue isn't a good sign:
For its part, after the issue was first publicized, Apple published a new support document – Cleaning and taking care of HomePod. Apple notes that the silicone on the base of the speaker can "leave mild marks when placed on some wooden surfaces."

| Sony’s MWC Announcement Could be Very Lit Posted: 19 Feb 2018 12:05 PM PST   Well, here's a bit of shocking news I wasn't quite expecting to ever report. The official Sony Xperia account on Twitter is teasing an upcoming announcement at MWC, and while that's not a huge surprise, the hardware itself may be. For what seems like forever, Sony has used a design for its hardware called OmniBalance. Basically, any Xperia device launched from 2012 up to this point have had a similar look, leading many to feel that Sony's new smartphones are just plain boring. I am part of this crowd. No matter how well Sony upgrades its display panels or internal specifications, all of the devices look the same. In a market where OEMs are switching up designs almost year-to-year, it's easy to get stale. Couple that with nearly zero US market presence and you get the picture, we don't talk much about Sony around these parts. That could possibly be changing, though. According to a tweet sent out early this morning, on top of various reports, Sony may be introducing a new design language for the Xperia XZ Pro, the flagship its rumored to announce this weekend. With this rumored Xperia XZ Pro, Sony may take a curved approach, which would be a huge evolution from what we've seen for many years now. There doesn't appear to be any legit renders of this device floating around yet, which is surprising, but a common thread seems to be that the corners of the device will be rounded somehow. Heck, even if its just the display that's rounded, that would be good enough for me. Sony's own tweet doesn't give away too much, but regardless, we're excited. Even though Sony may introduce a new design, there's still not too much hope we could see it come to the US, though. You can always import a phone from overseas or Canada, but I get the feeling we won't see the XZ Pro supported on US carriers. We'll know more this weekend. Ready for a whole new Xperia experience?

| DEAL: Huawei Watch 2 Classic for $267 ($100 Off), Watch 2 for $239 ($60 Off) Posted: 19 Feb 2018 12:05 PM PST   Should you be looking to pick up a new Android Wear piece, the Huawei Watch 2 and Huawei Watch 2 Classic are on sale via Amazon, with decent savings to be had. For what's likely a limited time, you can save $60 on a Huawei Watch 2, with the price down to $239. For the Watch 2 Classic, the classier of the two smartwatches, the price is listed at just $267, a savings of $102. For me, the Classic is a bit more up my alley, considering the standard Watch 2 is styled more towards the fitness group. Regardless of what you need it for, though, both units will receive Oreo at some point, so that's a plus. Follow the links below to take advantage.

| Chrome now automatically cleans up messy URLs when you share them Posted: 19 Feb 2018 12:04 PM PST
As you traverse the internet, you will often encounter URLs that have tracking or referral junk tacked on the end. You probably don’t want all that garbage included when you share a link, and Chrome recently started taking care of that for you. As of v64, the browser trims off unnecessary strings at the end of URLs. The URL streamlining happens automatically when you use the Share menu in Chrome. You can copy to the clipboard or share directly to another app—no setup required. If you highlight the URL bar and select text manually, you can still get the full URL with all the junk at the end. You can test it yourself with this Amazon URL. We suspect this feature is related to the “canonical page” URLs Google started supporting some time ago. We’ve seen similar features in AMP pages so that sharing the content would share a usable URL. The general URL streamlining seems subtly different, though. It doesn’t work in Chrome v63 or earlier, but it’s available in v64. That’s in the stable channel now, and it came to beta and dev in the December-January timeframe. There could be situations when you want to manually copy URLs to avoid this feature. Chrome’s URL trimming will even remove anchor tags that load a page to a specific location, For example, the “Free” section of this sale roundup. Share that in Chrome v64 or higher, and it just loads the top of the page. That could be a bit annoying. More often than not, though, this feature is probably going to be incredibly handy.
