Rove's R2-4K dash cam is an extra set of eyes on the road and $48 off at Amazon

The Verge3 days ago
Getting into a car accident, even a fender bender, is stressful on its own, but then comes the argument about who was at fault. A dash cam can give you reliable proof of what happened, and Rove's R2-4K is currently on sale for $71.99 ($48 off), an all-time low price at Amazon, and $89.99 ($30 off) from Rove. I tested a previous-generation Rove dash cam, and was happy with the quality of its recordings and ease of use. The R2-4K is a significant improvement, capturing higher-quality video and improving the process of getting it onto your phone.

Rove's R2-4K is a dash cam that can record 4K video, automatically create a clip if it detects an impact, and tag clips with information about your driving speed, location, the time, and date. Read More $72 at Amazon$90 at Rove
The dash cam can record 4K video at 30 frames per second or 1080p at 60fps, and captures a 150-degree field of view, so you'll get a clear image of what happened in front of you and some of what happened directly to your right and left. Its recordings are tagged with the date, time, location, and your driving speed; they're stored on a microSD card, which you need to purchase separately. You can view video clips on the R2-4K's 2.4-inch display, or transfer them to your smartphone over Wi-Fi using Rove's app.
The R2-4K comes with a suction mount and 3M sticky mount, both of which can be installed anywhere on your windshield. The suction mount is easier to move, so we recommend using it to find the dash cam's permanent place before you decide whether to switch to the sticky mount. The dash cam needs to be connected to its power adapter with a USB-C cable (two are included), so make sure to mount it in an area where the cable won't dangle and distract you.
Under normal circumstances, the R2-4K will take a continuous time lapse recording and overwrite older footage once the microSD card is filled. However, you can push an 'Emergency Lock' button to preserve a specific clip. The dash cam's built-in G-Sensor will detect an impact and automatically lock that section of video. If the dash cam stops recording, it'll announce that so you can see what's wrong. Hopefully you'll never have to use Rove's R2-4K for anything important, but it's handy to have just in case.

The QuietComfort Headphones are the Bose cans you should buy — and they're $120 off

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are very good — but the Bose headphones you should buy are the less expensive QuietComfort Headphones. That lack of the Ultra moniker might put you off, but they're the affordable version that retain loads of the performance without the massive price. You can currently pick up the Bose QuietComfort Headphones for just $229 at Amazon, thanks to an enormous $120 discount. That makes them just half the price of the QuietComfort Ultra, and far more worthy of your spend! Bose's QuietComfort Headphones might not have the shining premium luster of the more expensive Ultra, but they make up for it with a massive saving. The sound is good, the ANC is spectacular, and the comfort is legendary — and utterly unmissable at this price. The Bose QuietComfort Headphones pack in some excellent noise canceling. It's not quite as impressive as that which you'll find in the Ultra Headphones, but it's still one of the best ways of keeping noise at bay. I've survived bus and train journeys galore, and they're an incredibly popular option for frequent fliers. The sound is good too, with some lovely rich bass on offer. I tend to dial it in ever so slightly in the excellent Bose app, upping the highs to bring some more detail, but they otherwise sound very good out of the box. Comfort is better than just about anything else thanks to very plush foam and lightweight construction. They've got 'comfort' in the name, so you'd hope they were fairly comfy, and I've certainly not been disappointed with mine. But why should you buy them over the Ultra Headphones? Well, for one, there's that price. You might miss the premium design and the Immersive Audio mode of the more expensive pair, but for a big saving, you get comparable noise canceling, a small protective case, and sound that gets very close to the more expensive pair. In my mind, the choice is almost a no-brainer — why spend more when you can get very close for far less?

Amazon (AMZN) Facing the Battle of Britain in $5B Competition Lawsuits

U.S. tech giant Amazon (AMZN) is facing lawsuits worth $5.4 billion from U.K. shoppers and retailers. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. A London tribunal ruled today that the two separate cases against Amazon for allegedly abusing its dominant position can proceed. Despite the threat, however, its stock rose nearly 2%. Retailers Claim Andreas Stephan, a competition law academic, is bringing one of the cases on behalf of over 200,000 third-party retailers, worth up to £2.7 billion. His lawyers allege that Amazon manipulates the 'Buy Box' feature on its website to its own advantage and favors products that use Amazon's own logistics centers and delivery network. Shoppers will know Buy Box through the 'Add to Cart' and 'Buy Now' section on a product page where purchases can be made. A seller's offer is featured as the default choice, and winning it can significantly boost visibility and sales. It is understood that 80% of Amazon sales are made through the Buy Box. According to Amazon, it can help customers find what they need and compare alternatives for a product by price, condition, and shipping speed. 49 Million Brits Consumer advocate Robert Hammond is separately bringing a case valued at up to £1.3 billion. It is being made on behalf of 49.4 million UK consumers. He has accused Amazon of manipulating how it presents products to customers and suppressing competition in its marketplace. An Amazon spokesperson said: 'These claims are without merit and we're confident that will become clear through the legal process. Amazon has always focused on supporting the 100,000 businesses that sell their products on our UK store, and more than half of all physical product sales on our UK store are from independent selling partners.' Legal and regulatory issues, as can be seen below, are also a key risk for Amazon and its investors. That is becoming even more prominent for it, and U.S. rivals such as Apple (AAPL) and Alphabet (GOOGL) as British and European regulators crack down on their business models. Is AMZN a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, AMZN has a Strong Buy consensus based on 44 Buy and 1 Hold ratings. Its consensus price target is $258.15, implying an 11.18% upside.
