    Ququq turns the VW ID.Buzz into a campervan.

    Until Volkswagen finally turns the ID.Buzz into the electric microbus of our hippie dreams, there’s the Ququq BusBox-4. It adds a cooker, fridge, water supply, and bed for about $3,000.

    The best virtual assistant on a phone.

    MKBHD returns to test Google Assistant vs. Siri vs. Alexa vs. Bixby head-to-head on smartphones, and remind us that Siri still can’t do multiple timers.

    Björk talking about her TV is the best Christmas tradition.

    I hope David Lynch one day directs the film of a little girl who overcomes her fear of televisions, despite the lies told by Icelandic poets.

    Power trip.

    EcoFlow’s all-in-one Power Kit has proven itself to be a turnkey solution that takes most of the guesswork and complexity out of installing and using a battery-based solar generator inside an RV or off-grid cabin in the woods. It’s not cheap, but owning one could be the first step in starting a whole new life.

    EcoFlow Power Kit review: off-grid living made easy

    A game-changing all-in-one power system for cabins and RVs that can be installed relatively quickly. Just add solar.

    EU says Facebook Marketplace likely in breach of antitrust laws.

    These so-called “Statement of Objections” have a habit of turning into large fines for Big Tech, but we won’t know for sure until the case runs its course:

    The Commission takes issue with Meta tying its online classified ads service, Facebook Marketplace, to its personal social network, Facebook. The Commission is also concerned that Meta is imposing unfair trading conditions on Facebook Marketplace’s competitors for its own benefit.

    Cybertruck, meet the Space Camper.

    I’ll believe the $24,000 Space Camper is real when I see it ship. Nevertheless, I do love the idea of an add-on that transforms Tesla’s Cybertruck into a giant off-grid solar generator, complete with bed, kitchen, and toilet. Someone has to be the next Landrover, so why not Tesla?
