The QX60 was Infiniti’s first three-row crossover, although when it was launched in 2012, it was called the JX35. Its current name, QX60, dates back to the 2014 model year and Infiniti’s then-updated naming structure for its vehicles. Since that time, the QX60 has become one of Infiniti’s best-selling models, appealing to families who need utility but want a more refined and premium cabin.

Android's new 24-hour sideloading delay should've happened years ago

Patrick Campanale — Fri, 01 May 2026 19:30:16 GMT

Sideloading is a hot topic in the mobile sphere, and Google recently made a huge change for how it works on Android. I think it’s a fantastic change, and I wish Google would have added the 24 hour delay for sideloading unverified apps years ago, but I’m glad they’ve finally done it.

Unlike its rival Apple, Samsung products run on various operating systems, such as Android, ChromeOS, Windows, and Tizen.

How a single word killed Iomega's brilliant storage device

Jorge A. Aguilar — Fri, 01 May 2026 18:30:17 GMT

The turn of the millennium was a good time to be into tech. Devices we use every day, like digital cameras, portable media players, and early handheld computers, were becoming mainstream, yet they all ran into a bottleneck with storage costs. Floppy disks held too little data, and the new solid-state flash memory was expensive, costing hundreds of dollars for only a few megabytes. This gap let established companies try to innovate, and one firm tried to use its history with removable media to launch a tiny, affordable format meant to act as the first reusable, digital roll of film. This was clever engineering that ultimately could not save a product line already collapsing under the weight of its tarnished brand history, and then market pressures finished the job.

3 gritty Prime Video shows to watch this weekend (May 1 - May 3)

Keeley Brooks — Fri, 01 May 2026 18:00:17 GMT

When it comes to content, there's little I love more than a good, gritty crime drama. From their dark, cynical, often realistic portrayals of criminal underworlds, violence, and justice systems to their heavily flawed, obsessed, anti-hero protagonists and intense, gritty tones, it all sucks us in, and it’s why we can’t look away. These types of criminal shows have carved out a powerful space in television by refusing to glamorize the worlds they depict and being willing to confront uncomfortable truths.

The Toyota GR Corolla has quickly become one of the benchmarks for affordable performance, offering serious capability and all-wheel-drive grip in a compact package. But that reputation comes at a cost, with pricing that pushes it beyond what many budget-conscious enthusiasts are willing to spend. And once you look past the hype, it’s not the only car delivering that level of excitement.
