Top cop blasts 'mind-boggling' driver behaviour captured on camera
Here's someone with an iPad on their lap.
Here's a P-plater who's using his phone, and the passenger is holding the steering wheel for him.
Here is, uh, a driver nursing an infant.
Here is, this one's amazing, uh, not only is this person, uh, using a mobile phone, he's having a beer at the same time.
Now this is just astounding stuff to think people offend in this way.
Uh, this one here is quite, quite remarkable.
He's got a phone in one hand and his foot up on the dash.
Now, how someone, you know, people must think driving is a secondary activity they can do when they're doing something else.
This is astounding.
And this one, this guy ticks a whole lot of boxes.
This guy doesn't wear a seat belt, uh, I think he's got his mobile phone in his hand, and he's smoking a glass pipe, uh, no doubt containing some sort of illicit material.
Now.
Uh, if that is the evidence of these new safety cameras, um, it tells me a couple of things.
It tells me that there is a cohort out there of people that do not care, um, and that are extreme offenders.
They need to be dealt with.
Um, if they don't change their ways, uh, when we start issuing fines for offences, um, people are going to be losing their licenses.

Lose Another USB-C Cable? Grab This 5-Pack for $10
Do you ever feel like your USB-C cables grow legs and walk away from walls, or somehow always end up missing? If you recently lost another USB-C cable and need to restock, for a limited time, you can grab this Lisen 5-pack (in various lengths) of USB-C cables for only $10. I don't know about you guys, but I feel like you can never have too many USB-C cable chargers. Especially considering that they now charge nearly all Android devices, the latest iPhones, select iPad models, the new AirPods Pro, and many laptops all use the same cable. We all have that one family member who constantly "borrows" our charging cables, which inevitably disappear forever. You can lock them to the wall or buy extras. So, whether you have lost your USB-C charging cable, want to stock up, or need a few extras for every room of the house, we have you covered. Regularly $15, right now, you can get five USB-C cables for only $10 on Amazon. The Lisen 5-pack offers durable and powerful 60W (PD) cables in three different sizes. This specific package comes with two 3.3-ft cables, two 6.6-ft cables, and one extra-long 10-ft USB-C cable. As a result, you'll have a long cable for charging all your tech from the couch, a few shorter ones for the bedside or office, and two 3.3-footers for portable power banks or to use in your car. These cables are rated up to 60W, feature USB-C power delivery, and have a 3.1A output rating good enough for fast charging all the latest and greatest devices. Additionally, they promise data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps, meaning you're getting five solid USB-C to USB-C cables that can do just about everything. At $10 for a 5-pack of USB-C cables, this is a no-brainer. I already added a set to my cart. Grab yours before they're gone.

The best early Prime Day Apple deals on MacBooks, AirPods, iPads and more
After reviewing nearly every major device out there, our current favorite laptop , smartwatch , tablet and smartphone are all made by Apple. The only problem is, Apple gear isn't cheap. But now that Amazon's Prime Day sale is just around the corner (it officially starts on Tuesday) some current model Apple gear is already on sale. Of course, prices could go lower and, if history is any indicator, more products will go on sale as we get closer to the event. So check back as we'll update this guide throughout Prime Day. As of now, these are the best early Prime Day Apple Deals, with links to our reviews so you can make informed purchases. Editor's note : Apple Watches aren't currently on this list. Current sale prices on the wearables are higher than they've been over the past few weeks, so we're waiting to list them here until the discounts improve. We'll update this guide once the savings are the same or higher than in the recent past. Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, M4) for $899 ($100 off): We named the iPad Pro the best tablet money can buy. The screen is one of the best we've seen and Apple somehow managed to make the Pro model lighter than Air models. If you plan on handling heavy productivity — video rendering and editing, machine learning apps and the like, this is the way to go. Apple iPad Pro (13-inch, M4) for $1,099 ($200 off): The larger iPad pro is the ultimate laptop replacer. The M4 chip is faster than many computers out there but the thin and light design makes it super portable. The battery life will last through a whole day of work and more (we clocked over 10 hours of use in our review) and the screen is brilliant. Our only real complaint is the price, and this Prime Day helps at least a little. Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro) for $399 ($100 off): Apple's smallest iPad earned an 83 review score from us when it came out late last year. Despite its compact size, it's still a fully-featured iPad, with support for accessories and a laminated, anti-reflective screen. It's not a laptop-replacer, but rather the perfect couch companion, handling games, video, web browsing and email triage. MacBook Air (M4, 15-inch) for $1,049 ($150 off): If you want a little more screen real estate, go for the 15-inch Air. Devindra found the screen more immersive than the smaller model, and only slightly less portable. The slightly larger battery gave it a few more minutes of life. Whichever size you go for, the MacBook Air will be able to handle all but the most demanding rendering tasks without breaking a sweat. MacBook Air (15-inch, M3, 24GB RAM) for $1,249 ($450 off): This higher-specced version of the M3 MacBook Air from last year has a 15-inch screen and a little extra internal memory. We gave the 15-inch model a score of 90 in our review when it came out in early 2024. Outside of its older M3 chip (which is still plenty fast for everyday use), marginally improved camera and inability to power two external displays with the lid open, this MacBook is virtually identical to the M4 version. Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C) for $199 ($50 off) : In Engadget's guide to earbuds , Billy Steele names the AirPods Pro the best option for iOS users. They pair easily with iPhones and are an ideal conduit to hands-free Siri. Plus you get a transparency mode that's second to none as well as solid active noise cancellation (ANC). The sound is rich and clear, too. Note, these have sold for as low as $169 in past weeks. AirPods Max (USB-C) for $480 ($69 off): Apple's only over-ear headphones are due for an update. The company outfitted the AirPods Max with a USB-C port late last year, but the internals haven't had an overhaul since 2020. Still, we named them the best (and only) over-earn AirPods. They are comfortable and relatively lightweight, have a balanced sound and the noise cancellation is solid. Apple AirTags (4-pack) for $75 ($42 off) : AirTags are famous for their ability to keep track of anything you attach them to. We named them the best Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users in our guide thanks to the AirTags' almost spooky ability to locate items in the world at large. If you just need a single tag , that's on sale too. Apple Pencil Pro for $99 ($30 off): Apple announced the Pro version of its pencil at the same time as the iPad Pro with the M4 chip. It adds haptic feedback, squeeze gestures and roll capabilities to the usual stylus tricks. It works with the newest iPad Pro, Air and Mini models.

Apple's rollable iPad dream lives on in newly resurfaced patent
No hinges, no creases — just a smooth scroll Receive the latest mobile news By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy Would you buy a rollable iPhone or iPad if Apple made one? Yes – a compact device that expands sounds amazing Maybe – depends on how durable and smooth it feels No – I'd rather have a foldable with a hinge Not really interested in flexible screens at all I'll believe it when Apple actually ships one Yes – a compact device that expands sounds amazing 0% Maybe – depends on how durable and smooth it feels 0% No – I'd rather have a foldable with a hinge 0% Not really interested in flexible screens at all 0% I'll believe it when Apple actually ships one 0% Apple seems to be serious about rollables Unlike the hinge-based folding designs we see in today's Galaxy Z Flips or Pixel Folds, Apple's take on a flexible screen revolves around a roll-out mechanism that extends the display like a scroll, then retracts it when not is far from a fresh idea for Apple . In fact, it's the sixth time the company has submitted this particular concept, with the original dating back to 2017. Apple's team has updated it repeatedly over the years, refining the engineering challenges related to durability, compactness, and display to the patent, Apple envisions a screen housed within a rigid shell, but able to extend outward with the help of rollers. Unlike an ancient parchment scroll, the display would remain taut and usable at all stages, thanks to 'deployment rollers' and 'elongated bistable support members' that keep it firm when pulled the display could still show information even while partially or fully rolled up — thanks to transparent housing windows that act like miniature always-on idea in the filing suggests the roller design could allow multiple form factors: phones, tablets, even glasses, pendants, or smartwatches. This would match what we're seeing from companies like Samsung and Motorola, who've already shown rollable concept flexible OLED screens improving and Apple's roller mechanism, a scrollable iPad or iPhone may eventually be the solution for compact devices that still offer large more, the patent shows a shift from theoretical to practical: Apple is now focusing on materials that reduce wear, compact designs, and smoother deployment. It may not be a coincidence that this resurgence in rollable tech comes just as foldable iPhones are rumored again for 2026 or course, a patent is just a patent, and Apple has dozens that never see the light of day. But filing and updating this design six times suggests the company hasn't shelved the idea. Instead, it might be waiting for the right moment (and tech) to pull the scroll, quite literally, out of its sleeve.
