With chip shortages and other market factors suppressing vehicle manufacturing, car buyers have been forced to look to the used car market, and their demand is causing prices to soar. If you’re a vehicle owner, that’s good news, since your car may be worth a lot more than you think. And if you’re among the many consumers looking to get a break from the ever-increasing cost of living, refinancing your car loan could be part of the solution....

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards were released back in September of 2020. Unfortunately, they’ve long been difficult to procure at market prices (or find at all) due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage. Scalpers and bitcoin miners hoarding the GPUs have only made matters worse. The proverbial tide has changed in recent months, however. Not only are RTX 30-series cards becoming more readily available, but they’re also selling closer to their original MSRP....

But the big thing for me is rather simple: Obi-Wan Kenobi’s latest chapter took something that didn’t work for me in the first three parts of the series, and made it work. Of course, I’m talking in vagueness about this Disney Plus show for a reason. And no, it’s not because I’m killing time while trying to give the titular Jedi some more time to escape. We’ve got to sound the spoiler horn from inside our Bacta tanks as we recover from that episode: Expect Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 4 spoilers from this point further....

We’re huge fans of the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for a whole bunch of reasons. Naturally, we rank it as the best Roku device on the market, and in our Roku Streaming Stick 4K review we called it “just as great as its predecessor, and offers one big perk over the Roku it replaces: Dolby Vision.” The best-in-class streaming stick offers snappy performance, a super clean interface and a comprehensive app store (handy for accessing all the best streaming services)....

But the Pixel line is not an Android juggernaut like the Samsung Galaxy S devices, which dominate the best Android phones rankings. Samsung owns the Android market for the most part and is the only competitor to Apple in the U.S. The Galaxy S22 in particular is a great phone in many respects. It’s so good, in fact, that we’d argue that Google has a massive hill to climb if it wants to best the latest Samsung flagship....

On the website colors.withgoogle.com (opens in new tab), you get an approximation of the physical colouring book sent to Pixel Superfans. But as it’s a virtual experience, Google limits the shades you can use to a color list that will sound familiar to anybody who has ever browsed the company’s hardware catalogues before. Think “Sorta Sage," “Just Black” and “Coral Pop.” But each of the 14 virtual pencils comes with a description of where the product is found, and four of them — Just Black, Lemon Pop, Pale Yellow and Dark Olive — are described as being used in Google’s wearable line (though “Sorta Sage” and “Clearly White” are listed as being present across everything)....

Samsung plans to launch a new Exynos chip on January 11, and the expectation is that it will be the Exynos 2200. But in hyping the launch — both in a teaser video and a tweet — Samsung’s providing a reason to be excited about this new chipset. It’s going to have a GPU that taps into AMD’s RDNA 2 graphics architecture. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X use RDNA 2, and while that won’t turn Exynos-powered smartphones into portable gaming consoles, it should mean an improved gaming experience for mobile....

Now, according to the leaker Dohyun Kim, we have an idea of the split “based on firmware development.” As previously anticipated, the overwhelming majority of regions including North America will apparently be getting the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, but there are patches of Exynos in West Asia, Middle East Asia, Africa and across all of Europe. While getting an Exynos chip is pretty much par for the course for Europe, this is the first time it’s being seen as a possible advantage....

Besides, we already have a pretty good idea of what the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is going to offer, thanks to the many rumors detailing the ins and outs of the upcoming release. That gives us enough information to do an initial comparison with the Pixel 7 Pro. A couple of months ahead of the Galaxy S23 Ultra launch, leaks suggest a phone that’s going to be a lot like the Galaxy S22 Ultra before it, only with some big improvements to cameras, performance and display....

Unveiled today during the company’s Samsung Unpacked August 2022 event, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 improves upon the Galaxy Z Flip 3 in a number of ways, including slimmer bezels, better camera tech and an upgraded Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset under the hood. What’s more exciting, at least to this habitual iPhone owner, is the startling array of new colors Samsung is offering on the Galaxy Z Flip 4....

A report from Korean newspaper Dong-a Ilbo (opens in new tab) (via Naver (opens in new tab)) claims Samsung is forming the fantastically named “Dream Platform One Team,” consisting of 1,000 staff from Samsung Mobile and Samsung LSI (large-scale integration, part of modern processor design). Their mission: to build a new dedicated chip for Samsung Galaxy phones. This new initiative is to be announced in July, with a goal of launching in 2025, the report says....

In our Sony WF-C500 review, we found these buds to be amazing value at their full $99 retail price. So its really hard to overlook the bargain that is $58 and the lowest ever price we’ve seen on these buds right now. Sony has a strong reputation for producing some of the best performing earbuds around, and although these don’t offer ANC for blocking out the noise of your surroundings, they still offer a great haul of features....

Saint Peter’s (21-11) is just the third 15-seed to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. They have taken the East Region by storm beating two-seed Kentucky and seven-seed Murray state to get to this point. Oral Roberts and Florida Gulf Coast are the only other 15-seeds to make it this far. The Peacocks will again look to their junior guard Daryl Banks III and senior forward KC Ndefko....

As reported by The Verge (opens in new tab), SpaceX will begin throttling the connections of home internet customers that use more than 1 TB of Priority Access data during peak hours beginning in December. This means that you’ll need to carefully monitor how much internet you use each day during peak hours, which run from 7AM to 11PM according to Starlink’s Fair Use Policy (opens in new tab). Once you go over Starlink’s new 1 TB data cap, you’ll be moved from “Priority Access” data to “Basic Access” data....

I’m thinking of course about the Framework Laptop, which launched in the summer of 2021 as the most user-repairable and upgradeable laptop I’ve ever seen. If you’ve missed our coverage of the company, Framework is the team building a business out of selling laptops you can take apart and repair or upgrade yourself. They design their laptops to be easily opened and put back together, with just a few screws and a screwdriver included with every unit sold....

The days are ticking away, and one of the best shows on Hulu is almost back. That said, it’s not only on Hulu. And this is why I’m encouraging you watch this show now, because there’s little better than watching a show as it airs. Unlike the best Netflix shows, which often drop all at once, weekly shows are much easier to manage — you’re not dealing with all the spoilers living on the web a lot and chasing the finale....
