The 4 settings I change in Waze for the best Android Auto experience

However, the experience isn't perfect. Here are the settings I changed to make it even better.

Elon Musk says Opus-class Grok 4.5 is about to launch
Talk about jumping on the bandwagon at the very last minute.
On Wednesday, SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk announced that the new version of the company's AI chatbot, Grok 4.5, will be released to the public on Thursday, July 9.
"Based on strong positive feedback from customers in our beta test program, @SpaceXAI will make Grok 4.5 available to the public tomorrow. It is an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost," wrote Musk in a post on X.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The recently renamed AI/social networking/data-centers-in-space company is currently testing Grok 4.5 as private beta, while the stable version of the LLM is currently Grok 4.3.
Musk calls the new Grok "Opus-class" in reference to the company's competitor Anthropic, whose general-purpose model, Claude Opus, is currently at version 4.6. Anthropic's most powerful model, Fable 5, has only recently been reinstated for users after being pulled following an intervention from the U.S. government.
Meanwhile, OpenAI's powerful GPT-5.6 model is also launching on Thursday, following a short-lived launch ban from the White House.

I replaced 4 apps with Excel—and I don't miss them
Like a lot of people, I'd ended up with a surprising number of tiny productivity apps over the years. One tracked my tasks, another handled budgets, another organized related data, and another helped me visualize information. Eventually, I wondered how many I actually needed—and the answer turned out to be "far fewer than I thought." I consolidated my workflow by replacing four separate apps with Microsoft Excel.

OpenAIs GPT-5.6 finally set for public release after delays
OpenAI will launch its "strongest model yet" this week, with GPT-5.6 Sol set for public release after White House-imposed delays.
Announced by the company on X on Wednesday, the next generation flagship model will roll out gradually from July 9, alongside two lighter models: the "everyday" Terra and lower cost Luna.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. SEE ALSO: OpenAI might give a 5 percent stake to the US governmentIn a blog post, OpenAI says it spent weeks putting GPT‑5.6 Sol through its paces for weaknesses, during which time it "strengthened protections for higher-risk activity, sensitive cyber requests, and repeated misuse." The company called it "our most capable model yet for cybersecurity" and claimed GPT‑5.6 Sol stands up to competitor Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5 using a third of output tokens (the blocks of text an AI model processes to generate responses).
The news comes after reports that the White House told OpenAI to limit the initial release of GPT-5.6 to a select testing group. In its blog post, the company described this as a "small group of trusted partners whose participation has been shared with the government." Now, OpenAI has the green light for GPT-5.6's public release. The announcement arrives a week after OpenAI reportedly proposed giving the U.S. government a five percent stake in the company, with CEO Sam Altman in early talks with President Donald Trump, according to the Financial Times.
Featured Video For You Is ChatGPT Changing the Way We Write?Competitor Anthropic also experienced restraints from the U.S. government, with the White House ordering the company "to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States." Anthropic is now allowed to share Mythos 5 with "a set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure," and Fable 5, a version of Mythos, is out globally.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

Daily Show host Ronny Chieng reacts to USA being knocked out of World Cup after Trumps interference
Team USA's World Cup journey came to a strange end this week after losing 4-1 to Belgium, shortly after Donald Trump admitted intervening to help reverse striker Falorin Balogun's red card suspension.
Jimmy Kimmel guest host Tiffany Haddish had the perfect joke about the situation on Monday, and on Tuesday — following the USA's defeat — Daily Show host Ronny Chieng joined in with the criticism.
"Trump only has himself to blame, because thanks to him we went from being heroes of our own Disney sports movie to being the villain in some weird European film," says Chieng in the clip above. "Up until last week America was the scrappy underdog again, but then Trump's intervention galvanised Belgium and the world to defeat Team USA for the integrity of the game. And just like everything else he tried to fix, he made it worse and ruined our reputation in the process."

I gave Ubuntu another chance, and now I'm tempted to leave Zorin OS behind
Early this year, I installed Zorin OS on a couple of older PCs that originally ran Windows 10, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed. The desktop felt familiar enough that I could start using Linux without feeling like I had to relearn everything. Before long, it stopped feeling like an experiment and became something I actually enjoy using.

Assassins Creed Black Flag Resynced is a fun remake of the wrong Assassins Creed game
For a long time, I've held firm that arguments about the necessity of video game remakes are largely boring and pointless. After all, what makes any video game necessary? Who gets to decide that?
I still don't know the answers to those questions, but I do know that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is the first time in a long time where I can't really think of a good reason why a remake should exist. That's not to say the work that Ubisoft has done to rebuild one of the best games in the series was shoddy; in fact, I've really enjoyed the handful of hours I've spent roaming the recreated world of 2013's Black Flag.
But I think I'm largely enjoying it because it's built on such a solid foundation that it would be hard to screw up. Black Flag Resynced seems like a high-quality take on a game that isn't old or flawed enough to have needed it.
SEE ALSO: 'Star Fox' for Nintendo Switch 2 is a magnificent Hollywood take on a classic Black Flag Resynced is an enjoyable throwback to Assassin's Creed's pastI haven't spent enough time with this new take on Black Flag to render a definitive verdict on it, but after having played enough to freely sail around the Caribbean in the boots of roguish pirate privateer, the best case I can make for the existence of Resynced is that it's a warm reminder of what Assassin's Creed used to be before the series took an RPG turn around a decade ago.
There's no such thing, as far as I can tell, as an enemy who can resist being assassinated in Black Flag Resynced. If you sneak up behind a guy, he is dead. You're not spending a lot of time sifting through gear or agonizing over a skill tree in this game, and even as someone who generally really likes the four big RPG Assassin's Creed games, I cannot emphasize enough how nice it is to play one of these that doesn't revolve around that stuff. It's nice to be reassured that the old ways work just as well now as they did 13 years ago.
It's fair to wonder, then, what exactly is different about Black Flag Resynced if Ubisoft didn't morph the game to conform to the franchise's modern design standards. You can read a substantive account of all the changes on Ubisoft's website, but in summary, the parkour system was subtly refined, traversal routes through the game's many tropical and urban environments were massaged to account for that, and mission design was reconsidered in order to give players a bit more latitude to succeed even if they "fail" to do something like tail an NPC for a story objective.
The boat combat is still great. Credit: Ubisoft / SteamThat last point is crucial. You can now fail a tailing mission (long the bane of every Assassin's Creed fan) and rather than a hard game over screen, the game will pivot the mission objective, giving you an alternate path to success. In more open-ended stealth sequences, I've also noticed a lot more instances of being able to eavesdrop on guards to find different methods of finishing the mission. The basics of stealth here are largely unchanged, to my memory, but it feels a lot less rigidly mechanical, and I think that works to the benefit of Black Flag Resynced.
On top of that, there are new crew members to collect, new side missions, and optional Animus Rifts to fill out the story. One change I absolutely cannot approve of, though, is the exclusion of the modern-day story elements from the original Black Flag. Those first-person sequences set in a fictional game development studio (which was obviously a riff on Ubisoft) were some of the best frame story moments in the entire Assassin's Creed series.
I understand there's a segment of the population that just doesn't care about the present-day sci-fi nonsense in these games, but they always gave the series a distinct character. That has never been more clear than it has been in the last couple of games, which have been almost entirely uninterested in engaging with that character. It just bums me out that you can't play an Assassin's Creed expecting to see a plot point about a Roman goddess taking control of the internet anymore.
I'm just not sure this is the specific Assassin's Creed game that needed itModern-day quibbles aside, Black Flag Resynced is an exceptionally respectable take on a great game. The changes to mission design alone will probably make it a little more palatable to a modern audience, to say nothing of the gorgeous new visuals. That said, was this really the Assassin's Creed game that needed this treatment?
If Ubisoft wants to dedicate resources to remaking these games, I just feel like there are a couple of better candidates. The very first game in the series immediately comes to mind, especially given that it barely resembles any of the releases that came after and, frankly, was not a very good game when it came out in 2007. Honestly, the idea of a less punishing mission structure would actually benefit the original Assassin's Creed far more than Black Flag, as would a simplified approach to parkour traversal.
I could also make a case for 2012's Assassin's Creed III, which is similarly one of the worst in the series despite an incredibly compelling American Revolution setting. That would admittedly be a taller task for the developers, as III suffers from a heavy dose of racist Native American stereotypes and other narrative foibles on top of its gameplay shortcomings. But the point remains that if remaking a game can be a redemptive act, I would have rather seen the effort that went into Black Flag Resynced go into a recreation of one of these other, lesser games instead.
But hey, if nothing else, I'm happy to sail around while listening to sea shanties again. Gotta take every win you can get these days.
