Honda Offering Wireless Apple CarPlay Upgrade for 2018-2022 Accords
Well done, Honda. I'd love the same for my Mercedes. I've looked at dongles to make it work but not sure how reliable they would be so have stuck with the wired version for now.

★ Why Girona winning LaLiga could be bad news for Manchester City
I for one am delighted with this revelation. I wouldn't say I oppose multi-club ownership but it's become very murky in the way that transfers occur. I think there should be a limit on how many sales can be made between clubs that share ownership. Loans too, clearly the number of players shared is going to be higher because of the underlying relationship but cap it.
If the two teams finish in the same position, the one with the highest club coefficient (City in this case) would be awarded qualification.
No club would sanction it, but in terms of avoiding a cartel, I feel that the club with the lower coefficient should be the one to qualify. They won't have to enjoyed the same windfall from being in the competition before so at a disadvantage from the start. The clubs with more money and clout should be pushed to be at their best, not to just fall back on their reputation.

Lava Flows Into an Icelandic Town
Iceland is just something else. I wish I'd known more about photography when we visited in 2012

"Late Bloomer" Trailer
About 5 years ago, Indian-Canadian YouTuber JusReign disappeared from the internet. Turns out he was off creating something new, which I saw on an Instagram story that he had hoped to deliver in 2019.
Sporadically I'd see him pop up on various other channels as a non-speaking character in a short skit or as a background character and then a couple of weeks ago it was announced his show was coming to Crave in Canada called Late Bloomer.
From the initial teasers on Instagram it didn't look like a comedy at all but this trailer makes it look a lot more fun and I hope there's a way to watch it here in the UK.

Digg and the Power Laws of Silicon Valley
I knew of Digg and used it a little around the mid-2000s, I don't miss it and probably hadn't visited for at least 5 years. It is a piece of history though and I do miss the whole Diggnation show that was built around the site.
I've thought about doing something similar for notable items here in the past...

★ Band Designed for Black Apple Watch Ultra Surfaces Online
I know that my preference is personal to me. I owned a space gray Apple Watch but had a little bit of envy when I saw the silver version in person. If I was buying a 'regular' Apple Watch now, I'd go for a brighter bezel to set it against the black screen.
I love the natural Titanium finish of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 I have. A darker version would look great, but I feel like premium watches come with silver bezels and doubt I'd feel the same envy.

Apple + Porsche CarPlay analysis and redesign
While I don't hate what Apple and Porsche have come up with with the latter's integration of CarPlay, John LePore's redesign is undoubtedly better.
