Adorable Tiny Vinyl turntable spins 4-inch records

When the Tiny Vinyl format launched last year, part of the appeal was that its four-inch records didn’t need any special hardware. Each traditionally pressed, numbered release carries two tracks, with up to four minutes of audio per side, and plays on pretty much any regular turntable that allows for manual stylus placement.

Insane Dodge Viper V10-powered motorcycle sells for $200K

AI medical scribe consent raises patient rights concerns

At a recent doctor's appointment, I was asked to consent to an artificial intelligence assistant listening to my consultation. The assistant was Heidi, one of a growing number of AI medical scribes. It listens to the conversation, produces a transcript and turns it into structured clinical notes for the doctor to review, which, on the face of it, is exactly the sort of work we should give to an AI. Doctors spend time typing notes, referral letters and reports. A machine that handles the paperwork while the doctor concentrates on the patient offers an obvious human benefit: less administration, better attention and, potentially, better care.

Review: 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is an affordable electric car we'll miss

I think we can all agree that proper, boxy SUVs are having a bit of an identity crisis.
