Fire TV Stick 4K Plus: New Name, Same Hardware Amazon has announced the Fire TV Stick 4K Plus, set to appear on November 4. At first glance this sounds like a new product, but reporting shows the "Plus" model is effectively a straight rename of the existing Fire TV Stick 4K rather than an updated device. Key takeaways: Release date: November 4 (as announced). What’s new: Nothing substantial — the device appears to use the same hardware and features as the current Fire TV Stick 4K. What to watch for: packaging, SKU changes, or updated bundles (Amazon may be rebranding to simplify its lineup or differentiate SKUs). So what does this mean for buyers? If you already own a Fire TV Stick 4K, there’s likely no technical reason to upgrade.…

Report: Plug-in hybrids emit nearly as much CO2 as petrol cars, real-world data shows A new analysis of onboard fuel data from 800,000 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) registered in Europe between 2021 and 2023 finds that real-world CO2 emissions are far higher than lab estimates. The study shows PHEVs emit about 4.9 times more CO2 in everyday use than official figures suggest, narrowing the emissions gap with conventional petrol cars to roughly 19% — not the 75% advantage reported by laboratory tests. Researchers attribute the discrepancy mainly to an overly optimistic assumption about how often PHEVs run in electric mode. Official lab estimates assume an 84% share of electric driving; the real-world figure is just 27%. That means most PHEV miles are powered by combustion engines, and even when…

Best Bluetooth Trackers for 2025: More Choices, Bigger Finding Networks Bluetooth trackers have evolved beyond AirTags. Google’s Find Hub and Samsung’s finding system now join Apple’s massive Find My network, while third‑party makers such as Chipolo and Pebblebee build tags that can work across ecosystems. We tested the major brands to see how real‑world tracking, separation alerts, volume, design and privacy protections compare.
