After 12 years, today EA announced that its free-to-play city building mobile game is shutting down. D’oh!
We have made the difficult decision to sunset Tapped Out. In-app purchases have been disabled, and the game will be removed from the app stores October 31, 2024. You may continue playing until January 24th, 2025, at which point servers will be turned off and TSTO will not be accessible.
The aftermarket upgrade uses a combination of suction and magnets to stick a temporary wiper to the rear window of older Ioniq 5 models lacking one. The GeckoWiper is battery-powered and rechargeable, uses standard OEM blades, and is controlled using a small wireless remote.
It’s available for preorder through Kickstarter at a discount for about $435, with delivery estimated in February 2025.
Following a collaboration with BMW in 2023 that produced a color-changing car, E Ink has partnered with Delvaux, a Belgian company that makes luxury leather goods, for a collection of color-changing handbags.
The bags use E Ink’s flexible Prism 3 e-paper film and will be available in a limited run of 100 units in 2025, but pricing hasn’t been revealed yet.
Memento Exclusives has partnered with Oracle Red Bull Racing for this officially licensed motion simulator based on the team’s RB19 car that competed in the 2023 season. It includes a D-Box haptic motion system, a 49-inch curved AOC monitor, a Rexing Mayaris steering wheel, speakers, Heusinkveld pedals, and a “high spec gaming PC.”
For audiophile’s wanting both higher quality audio and the convenience of wireless headphones, FiiO’s $44 BT11 dongle adds Bluetooth 5.4 support to phones like the iPhone 16, plus codecs like aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless.
You’ll also need a subscription to a high-res music streaming service, and headphones that support those HD codecs, to actually take advantage of it.
Following earlier leaks of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2’s packaging that seem to confirm a bump in recording capabilities from 8K/24fps to 8K/30fps, @Quadro_News has revealed it will allegedly be priced at $399.99.
That would make it $50 cheaper than the previous model, the same price as the GoPro Hero 13 Black, but pricier than the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro.
