Wouldn’t it be nice if you had the same access to Alexa in your car that you have all over your house thanks to Amazon’s line of Alexa speakers. Well it’s time to stop wishing and make it happen because the “Echo Dot for cars” has never been cheaper than it is today. The Roav VIVA by Anker normally sells for $49.99, which is the same price as Amazon’s Echo Dot. It’s on sale for $37.99 right now though, and an extra $8 coupon drops the price all the way to $29.99. It’s never been cheaper and it probably never will be, so grab one now before the coupon is sold out!

While the cost alone is a deterrent for many shoppers, the scariest risk when upgrading to a new computer is the risk of losing all of your data in the transfer process. Apple has made that process somewhat less painful by offering Data Migrations with the purchase of a new Mac, but charged a whopping $99 for the service. At least, the company used to charge $99, as the exorbitant fee has apparently been eliminated as of this month.

According to TidBITS, the MacBook maker just recently made the consumer-friendly move of offering to migrate data for anyone buying a new Mac or requesting a repair free of charge. You will have to make the purchase or request the repair at an actual Apple Store location, but it might end up being worth the trip.

If you were eagerly anticipating the second-ever launch of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket this past weekend, you were sorely disappointed when the company was forced to delay the launch. We had a feeling that might happen, and the launch was pushed back to today, Tuesday, April 9th, but now yet another delay has pushed it back even further.

SpaceX now says that Falcon Heavy will likely launch tomorrow, Wednesday, April 10th. Today’s would-be launch was scrubbed due to inclement weather, but Wednesday’s forecast is looking a lot more favorable, and we might finally get to see SpaceX’s mega-rocket take flight for a second time.

Bitcoin and the entire crypto market received what can easily be perceived as bad news initially, as China is looking to make another significant play soon: Banning Bitcoin mining in the country. However, there’s also a silver lining in China’s renewed effort to regulate cryptocurrencies.

If there’s one thing that China, or any other country, can’t really do about Bitcoin and other digital currencies, it’s regulate them. But China can ban crypto businesses that don’t play by its own rules, including farms that mine Bitcoin.

I’ve been an iPhone user since almost the very beginning. I didn’t own an original iPhone at launch, but began using Apple’s smartphones with the iPhone 3G and never looked back.

Until recently, that is.

A few days ago, I decided to make the switch to Android. It wasn’t easy. Over the past decade I’ve adopted almost every new generation of the iPhone. I had the 3GS, 4, 4s, 5, 5s, etc. The only year I sat out was the iPhone 7, but quickly jumped on the 8 and then the X. So what could have possibly forced me to jump ship?

Believe it or not, it’s the little things.
