The consumer research firm surveyed 68,084 owners of new 2026 model-year vehicles after 90 days of ownership.

Google rolled out the Lake America change on Saturday, while the official US government maps are still waiting.

Sony is one of many companies offering Labor Day discounts on tech products, though its week-long sale on the last-gen WH-1000XM5 is one of the most attractive deals I found upon logging in this morning. The comfy over-ear headphones offer some of the best sound quality and active noise cancelling, and are down to $198 at Amazon and Best Buy. Originally $399.99, they typically sell for around $250, and this $50 price drop brings them back down their Prime Day 2026 price we saw in late June. Howe

But Hochul isn't having it. In this week's episode of Decoder, Hochul responded to Wilson's "Hochulization" tool, warning she isn't going to let it defeat the state's efforts: You can tell Cody I will get ahead of him next. I can't always be on the forefront when I see someone intentio

Today, I’m talking with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and I’ll just warn you — this episode moves really fast. It’s an election year, after all, with a shocking amount of tech policy at stake, and Governor Hochul has taken strong positions on almost every major tech issue there is. For example, Meta just reached a settlement with dozens of states, including New York, which will restrict how teens use platforms like Instagram in very specific ways. Governor Hochul is a strong supporter of those
