They Actually Cost More to Run Comments from various members of our MeWe Group… Batteries are an environmental disaster waiting to happen - they are likely to need replacing ⅔ times during the life of the car. Emissions caused by the manufacturing process makes it worse for the planet. Is Hydrogen a better eco-solution? It’s heavy and needs robust storage arrangements. Did we know that there’s 20% VAT on Public Charging (but only 5% at home)? General opinion is that we’re going the right way, but much work needed still. -------------------- Mike Shwartz on the Audio Pro Addon C5A Multiroom Smart Speaker Never mind your Marshalls & your Sonos speakers, this C5A from Audio Pro (Swedish design) takes the prize for audio quality. Take my word for it, I'm a BBC sound engineer! It has internet radio, Bluetooth &  Alexa built-in - and they can be doubled-up as a stereo pair with the app or just a mono multi-room setup. They have 4 preset buttons for your favourite radio stations and phono & 3.5mm line inputs. WiFi or wired ethernet. The speaker is actually stereo for the tweeters only. Position it nicely in the room and the bass is unbelievable! Top-end is crisp too. Really Hi-Fidelity! The app has bass & treble controls if you need them. Very highly recommended. The white one is currently cheapest at £164 Hardline on the hardware Garmin unveils brand new solar-powered smartwatches Japan will try to beam solar power from space by 2025 The LG StanbyME Go puts a screen and some speakers inside a briefcase 14.5-Inch Android Flagship Tablet Lenovo Tab Extreme Hits The Shelves In The US NHS data breach: trusts shared patient details with Facebook without consent Blood Pressure Monitoring at Your Fingertips: Super Low-Cost Smartphone Attachment ‘Much easier to say no’: Irish town unites in smartphone ban for young children France has approved a law that targets influencers Nothing Phone (2) renders show curved edges and some lighting tweaks Google Tensor G3 reportedly brings massive upgrades, UFS 4.0 storage, more to Pixel 8 - Pixel 8 camera leak: Some Pixel Watch owners are seeing the back panel fall off without clear cause Sightful Spacetop - Apple’s Vision Pro 'AR' headset Big Gamble - MKBHD Tour - SomeGadgetGuy Scepticism The Name of the Game Google Play Games (Beta) for desktop Windows PC Evercade Vs Atomic Edition - Your face, your ass - what's the difference?  Flap your trap about an App Windows 11's new-look File Explorer and RGB lighting control Android apps in Windows 11 now have access to local files with folder sharing Microsoft is willing to sacrifice Teams in Windows 11 Instagram’s Twitter Rival - Project 92 (Threads?)
