Anker’s pocketable Nano Travel Adapter can power up to five devices and works in over 200 countries. | Image: The Verge Few things kill the vibe of your relaxing spring break abroad faster than realizing you forgot a way to keep things charged. Anker’s Nano Travel Adapter makes it easy to charge your phone, camera, e-readers, and other devices anywhere you travel. Right now, you can buy it at its all-time low of $19.99 ($6 off) at Amazon and directly from Anker (with code WS7DV2S3TD3T ). Anker Nano Travel Adapter (5-in-1, 20W) Where to Buy: $25.99 $19.99 at Amazon $25.99 $19.99 at Anker (with code WS7DV2S3TD3T) The wall adapter features four plug types (A, C, G, and I), allowing it to work in over 200 countries spanning Europe, the UK, Australia, Asia, and South America. Weighing just 3.77 ounces and at less than an inch thick (with its prongs folded in), it won’t take up much space in a suitcase, and is small enough to toss in a go bag. Plus, it has built-in temperature control to keep your devices safe while charging. What’s more, the adapter’s capable of powering five devices simultaneously. In addition to its AC outlet for powerful gadgets, the adapter has two USB-A and two USB-C ports that share up to 15W of power when devices are plugged into each one. However, using just a single USB-C port can deliver up to 20W. That’s enough power to charge an iPhone 17 from zero to 50 percent in under 30 minutes. One note for this adapter is that it can’t convert voltage, so you shouldn’t try to use things like electric razors and hair dryers with it.

Derick Hudson A major legal shift may be underway for Big Tech companies, as protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act come under pressure. Last week, juries in Los Angeles and New Mexico reportedly delivered key verdicts against Meta Platforms ( META ) and Google ( GOOGL ) . In Los Angeles, jurors reportedly found META and YouTube negligent in a personal injury case, awarding ~$6M to a young woman who began using the apps as a child. Meanwhile, in New Mexico, the jury ordered Meta Platforms ( META ) to pay $375M for failing to protect minors from child predators. Attorney General Raúl Torrez said he will seek further penalties and push for app changes to improve safety, CNBC reported . Plaintiffs argued that design features like autoplay, recommendation algorithms, and notifications in Instagram and YouTube acted like “digital casinos,” driving addictive use and mental harm of minors. Alongside this, new lawsuits are also emerging around AI tools, including claims that Google's ( GOOGL ) systems exposed sensitive personal data. Lawmakers are also raising pressures, as Senator Brian Schatz said tech firms have long relied on Section 230 as a shield to avoid action because fixing harms could hurt profits. Both the companies said they plan to appeal. Legal expert David Greene called the verdicts “very preliminary decisions,” adding that simply labeling something as a design feature does not remove potential legal protections.

Although the addition of a healthy 178,000 jobs in March was “stirring,” and the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%, economists were muted in their celebrations, as the impact of the war in Iran on the labor market is still unknown.

Fabric that once defined Northern Ireland’s capital is at heart of its stylish revival, embraced by designers, royalty and heritage farmers alike On a cobbled street in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, next door to a hipster coffee shop and opposite an ice-cream parlour that has a near-constant queue since going viral on TikTok, the elegant Kindred of Ireland boutique is doing a surprisingly brisk trade in artfully oversized butter yellow linen blouses and exquisite Donegal mulberry tweed jackets finished with a length of rose pink linen tied in a bow at the nape of the neck. Half a century after the Troubles, Belfast is finding a new identity through an industry that once defined it. Linen – the fibre that built its wealth and earned it the name Linenopolis – is being woven into a story of renewal. Almost a century after the postwar collapse of an industry that, at its peak, employed 40% of the working population of Northern Ireland, linen is returning as a marker of identity.

With the war in the Persian Gulf now more than a month old, the effect on fuel prices is plain to see: On average, they're up almost a dollar per gallon, or 25 percent, according to AAA . For a nation as addicted to the automotive as we are, that's bad news. Except, of course, for electric vehicles. The last half year has been rough for EV adoption here in the US.

With the war in the Persian Gulf now more than a month old, the effect on fuel prices is plain to see: On average, they're up almost a dollar per gallon, or 25 percent, according to AAA . For a nation as addicted to the automotive as we are, that's bad news. Except, of course, for electric vehicles. The last half year has been rough for EV adoption here in the US. At the end of last September, the Trump administration abolished the federal tax credit for both new and used EVs, one of a series of policies that has disincentivized automakers to build EVs and consumers to buy them. Battery factories have been cancelled or repurposed , and EV lineups have been slashed as OEMs write down billions of dollars in the process. Some analysts have predicted a particularly grim Q1 2026. Cox Automotive, for example, forecast a 6.5 percent overall decrease in new car sales for the first three months of the year but a 28 percent decrease in EV sales for the same period. Without sustained high fuel prices, Stephanie Valdez Streaty, Cox's director of industry insights, expects people to make fewer trips. "To materially change buying behavior and drive a trend toward smaller, more efficient vehicles, consumers would need to believe gas prices will remain elevated for years, not just months," Cox said .
