Fiat's First Three-Wheel EV Is This Super Cute Delivery Truck
isn't known for making big cars, but the Italian automaker has never made a three-wheeled vehicle until now. Meet the Tris. It's a bite-sized electric vehicle designed to serve businesses and entrepreneurs, like last-mile delivery, mobile businesses, and transport services—and no, it's not coming to America.
The Tris is available in three configurations: truck, chassis cab, and flatbed. It's 10.4-feet long, or about five feet shorter than a
Honda Civic
. But it has 24.2 square feet of load space, capable of accommodating standard euro pallets, and a 1,190-pound payload capacity.

The 48-volt electric motor makes up to 12 horsepower and 33 pound-feet of torque, so don't expect to win any races. Top speed is 28 miles per hour. The Tris comes packing a 6.9-kilowatt-hour battery that provides up to 56 miles of range on a single charge.
Fiat integrated the charging equipment into the vehicle so owners can recharge using any standard domestic plug. It's not the fastest charge in the world, replenishing the battery from zero to 80 percent in 3.5 hours—but that shouldn't be an issue for most business operations. A full recharge takes 4 hours and 40 minutes.

Despite its diminutive size, the Tris has multiple storage cubbies, including a closed glove box, a USB-C charger, a 12-volt socket, and a 5.7-inch digital instrument cluster. Fiat designed the Tris for Africa and the Middle East, but it meets European homologation standards and comes with a three-point seat belt and a reverse buzzer. It even has LED lights that feature the brand's new signature pixel design.
The Tris feels similar to the
Toyota Hilux Champ
. It's another small pickup designed for businesses and entrepreneurs to spec as needed. Fiat will offer upfit services for the Tris through its commercial arm, and maybe one day, it'll be as popular to import as those
Japanese minitrucks

Trump says he likes a strong dollar, but a weaker one is ‘good for inflation'
BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 1:31 U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he liked a strong dollar but 'you make a hell of a lot more money' with a weaker one. 'So when we have a strong dollar, one thing happens: It sounds good. But you don't do any tourism. You can't sell tractors, you can't sell trucks, you can't sell anything,' Trump said at the White House before leaving on a trip to Scotland. 'It is good for inflation, that's about it.' The dollar index, which measures the greenback's strength against six major currencies, steadied on Friday after hitting two-week lows earlier in the week. It is still down roughly 10% over the six months Trump has been in office. Trump has often complained that dollar strength blunts U.S. export competitiveness and hurts U.S. manufacturing and jobs. Trump told reporters on Friday that manufacturers would be the first to benefit from a falling dollar, citing construction and mining equipment maker Caterpillar, whose shares have risen 16% over the last month. Japan and China fought for weaker currencies for decades and were able to dominate markets over the years, Trump said. 'Now it doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar – not a weak dollar but a weaker dollar – than you do with a strong dollar,' he said. At the same time, he acknowledged that pushing for a weaker dollar wasn't a good look, saying a strong dollar is good psychologically. 'It makes you feel good,' he said. 'I love strong dollars.' —Steve Holland and Maiya Keidan, Reuters

How to Bypass Age Verification on Pornhub in the UK
Are you looking to bypass age verification on Pornhub in the United Kingdom? You're far from the only one! On July 25th, an important law, the Online Safety Act, was passed. It aims to protect children from harmful content through age verification, which is exemplary. Plus, every porn site is obligated to include it to operate in the United Kingdom. As a result, each visitor must verify their age before proceeding. However, this law was met by a massive backlash. Identity verification requires a government-issued ID, which many Brits refuse to give out. Luckily, there's a way to unblock and watch Pornhub in the UK without age verification. The same goes for other adult sites that operate in this country (like YouPorn). We discussed how to access Pornhub in Florida, California, and other American states recently. The principle is the same: you need to appear somewhere else. This is easily done with a VPN service. A VPN, such as NordVPN, is a powerful tool for overcoming porn bans. NordVPN offers over 8,000 servers in 125+ countries. What does this mean? It means you can connect to any VPN server abroad, conceal your original IP address, and swap it for a new one. This makes you appear elsewhere. Bypass age verification With NordVPN If you're in the UK, all you must do is connect to a VPN server in a country without a porn-related age verification law (like the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland…). With a new IP address in place, Pornhub will let you waltz right in and enjoy all videos without verification. We explained how to unblock Pornhub with a VPN in detail here. By the way, you can also unblock YouPorn, Xvideos, and other adult websites in the United Kingdom with NordVPN. This will rid you of age verification and other privacy-related issues, as NordVPN encrypts your traffic and hides your identity. Contrary to what many think, Pornhub is legal in the United Kingdom. In fact, adult sites are generally legal in the country! The new law protects children from obscene content but doesn't explicitly ban it. If you're over 18, you can freely watch Pornhub in the UK if you verify your age. This essentially makes it impossible to breach the law. If you're underage, the website will be inaccessible. Despite this 'setup', people refuse to verify their age because of the required ID. While it's a one-time process, divulging your identity as you're about to enjoy porn feels odd. With the presented solution, unblocking Pornhub in the UK is a safe bet. Additionally, it's risk-free thanks to NordVPN's 30-day money-back guarantee. If you want to bail out, you can do so without consequences. As the best VPN for watching porn, NordVPN offers plenty of privacy and security features to shield you from nasties. Without a VPN, your ISP can track your browsing history and even see which videos you're watching. NordVPN counters this with encryption and a no-log policy that ensures no data retention. Added benefits like streaming, ad blocking, and malware protection are included. Most importantly, you'll be able to watch Pornhub in the UK and go back to your private time, but this time, in actual privacy. Pretty clever, huh? Try it and let us know how it goes.

UK's TalkTalk Strikes £100 Million Funding Deal From Backer Ares
Struggling UK broadband provider TalkTalk Telecom Group Plc agreed to a new £100 million ($134 million) funding deal from its backer Ares Management Corp., less than a year after completing a major financial restructuring. The new funding facility will come alongside around £50 million of non-core asset sales and tweaking existing debt to allow TalkTalk to capitalize interest, the company said in a statement on Friday, without specifying the lender. Ares, which already holds a minority stake in the company, was the sole financier, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private information.
