    ‘From the ground up, everything in the compliance section was flawed.’

    NBC News reports that a former Block employee is talking to the feds about apparent sanctions violations.

    YouTube TV multiview is rolling out on Android devices.

    The split screen feature that pulls in up to four channels at once launched on smart TVs last year, and iOS last month — now it’s Android’s turn.

    This EV prototype charges from 10 to 80 percent almost as fast as a gas fill-up.

    The prototype Polestar 5 uses an “Extreme Fast Charging” 77kWh EV pack, created in conjunction with company StoreDot, that can add 200 miles of range in 10 minutes. A Tesla would take about 15 minutes at many convenient Supercharger locations.

    Polestar noted charging rates rose from 310kW at 10 percent charge to a blistering 370kW at 80 percent, and no special cooling equipment is needed.
