Android Auto and CarPlay have transformed the way people drive. Rather than putting up with whatever infotainment systems car manufacturers have put together, we're now able to interact with our phones from our car dashboards—with our contacts, our music, our podcasts, and our mapping apps all available. And the list of supported vehicles just keeps growing. Both the Google and Apple solutions for this are really simple to use too. Most of the time they'll connect up automatically once you've done the initial setup. What you might not realize, though, are the demands that Android Auto and CarPlay put on your phone. Your handset is essentially doing all the regular phone stuff and then powering a large tablet-like display at the same time. That typically includes constantly updating a map in real time. With that in mind, your Android phone or iPhone can quickly start to lose battery life and heat up when it's connected to your vehicle, which you've perhaps already noticed. To keep your handset cool and your battery in good shape, here's what you need to do.

'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' author Jeff Kinney shares his parenting advice — and what he'd do differently. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Jeff Kinney, the 55-year-old author of the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series, who lives in Plainville, Massachusetts. It has been edited for length and clarity. When I wrote "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," I worked on it for eight or nine years without thinking I was writing a book for kids. I thought I was writing a book for grown-ups that would feel like "The Wonder Years" or "A Christmas Story" — looking back on childhood through the lens of an adult. The first thing that surprised me was that my publisher said I'd actually written a children's series; it caused a lot of cognitive dissonance. But what also surprised me was that kids understood the irony in the books. They understand that Greg is an unreliable narrator; they seem to get the joke. After writing the series, and after raising two kids of my own — ages 21 and 23 — I've learned a few things about kids. Here's my best advice about getting kids to read, screen time, and more — plus a few things I'd go back and change if I could.1.

When Ikea launched its super-cheap $10 Bluetooth Kallsup speakers in April, aside from the rock-bottom price and bright, white/green/pink colors, the claim that really caught WIRED’s ear was that the Swedish furniture brand said it was possible to chain 100 of these 2.75-inch sonic cubes together, should you so wish. Now, because it’s highly unlikely any one household will ever own more than a handful of mini Bluetooth speakers, this is one of those consumer-tech statements that rarely gets tested. So we asked the good folks at Älmhult in Ikea headquarters if they’d let us do just this. To our surprise, Ikea not only agreed, but it also upped the ante, saying it might be possible to link up to 150 without breaking the connection, so that’s exactly how many it sent us. “No one has ever tried this, though,” an Ikea spokesperson said. “We haven’t.”That is how we ended up building a literal wall of sound at our London office, stacking 150 Kallsups carefully on top of one another to test how many would chain-play from a smartphone.

SAVE $50: As of Oct. 25, the Apple iPad 11-inch (A16 chip, 128GB) is priced at just $399 at Amazon. That's an 11% discount from the list price of $449. It's hard to say no to any significant discount on Apple devices. We all know that Apple prices can be steep and rarely budge outside of sale events such as Prime Day and Black Friday. But even with Black Friday still four weeks away, Amazon is offering a decent deal on the Apple iPad 11-inch with A16 chip and 128GB. As of Oct. 25, the Apple iPad 11-inch is priced at $399, offering $50 in savings off the list price of $449. We've seen this iPad at a lower price, but not that much lower. In fact, $399 was the same price offered during Prime Day, so it's as good an iPad deal as you'll find on Amazon right now. This Apple iPad 11-inch is effectively Apple's budget laptop option, but that doesn't make it any less impressive. We've named it the best budget iPad of 2026. This is a great deal for everyone who needs an iPad for everyday tasks. This device has you covered for browsing, messaging, video calls, streaming, and playing on apps.
