Current Toyota drivers might not be thrilled about having to subscribe just to remotely start from their key fobs, but what about new buyers? There’s mixed news. The automaker told Roadshow in a statement that remote starting won’t be available on key fobs for new vehicles. You’ll have to use the brand’s mobile app, in other words. With that said, you might not mind the cost. You may not ever have to pay for the feature. While it was previously clear 2018 to 2020 vehicles were limited to a… Source link

It’s also creating a mad rush for COVID tests. Welcome (back) to our onerous new reality, with vaccine mandates, masks requirements and testing protocols. And with testing comes the oh-so familiar questions: When were you tested? Where? Which kind of test? I was thinking about the sheer volume of human, never mind economic activity… Source link

We certainly have some of our recommendations stepping into more prominent roles, so let’s go ahead and get into… Source link

Not for a PGA Tour event, no,” Woods said Friday, . “That’s just not who I am. That’s not… Source link

Make it make sense. The NBA is going through a wave of COVID-19 diagnoses, even among the vaccinated and perhaps the boosted, and the Brooklyn Nets decide to kowtow to Kyrie Irving? On some level, maybe it does. Players of all levels are testing positive, so what’s the harm in bringing in a healthy body for road games, to help out the overworked Kevin Durant even in a pinch? The harm, aside from common sense, science and everything believed to be true about teams with championship… Source link
