The Morning After: Tesla Model 3 review


Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

We're still not done with Mobile World Congress, and the show has a few surprises left -- like LG's G7. But first, it's time to take a ride in the Model 3.

The Fast and the InfuriatingTesla Model 3 review

Whether you're on the waiting list or on the fence, the Model 3 is one of the most-anticipated vehicles in a long time. Roberto Baldwin reports from behind the wheel of Elon Musk's mainstream EV and found the experience a mixed bag. It's faster and more nimble than Tesla's S and X, but its touchscreen isn't quite ready to make up for a missing dash cluster and button controls.

Sneaky.An LG G7 showed up in Barcelona after all

Ready for one more MWC 2018 flagship device? Israeli news site YNET got hands-on time with LG's G7 even though it was never officially revealed at the show. An LG spokesperson told Engadget that the phone in question was a "concept," and that LG never had this particular device at its main MWC booth. Whatever it was, the device sports a familiar-looking notch and OLED screen design with a Qualcomm 845 chipset inside.

The streaming show starts at 6:30 PM ET.Facebook will stream The Oscars red carpet this weekend

The Academy Awards take place this Sunday, and if you're an Oscar fan who can't get enough behind-the-scenes looks, Facebook has you covered. Actors Sofia Carson and Wesam Keesh along with commentators Chris Connelly, Ben Lyons and Adnan Virk will host "The Oscars: All Access," which you can also stream from ABC or on Oscars.com.

Oreo with just 1GB of RAM.The first Android Go phones blend low prices with lots of promise

Android Go may well change how people around the world get to experience Android. By reworking the OS to perform on phones that cost well under $100, people in more places can run versions of the latest software and features. We went hands-on with a few, including Alcatel's 1X and the Nokia 1, to find out how it compares.

Get on the sticks while you watch.Xbox One tests spring update

Microsoft's next big update for the Xbox One is rolling out for preview program testers, and it has some features you may find intriguing. One of them is the ability for people who are streaming over Mixer to share their game controller with remote viewers, right through the web browser. There are also some tweaks for custom background music and 1440p support on the way, so keep an eye out for its arrival this spring.

Time to choose.The best cameras under $1,000

Nowadays, you can spend less than $1,000 for a camera body and get almost as much as you would with a model with three times the price. The only trick is answering a few questions: mirrorless vs. DSLR? Fixed vs. interchangeable lens? What size sensor do you need? Our guide can help you figure out the right answers.

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to

After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs?
