November 29, 2022

If you’ve ever bought a gigantic present for someone so large that wrapping it in paper would be about as much effort as painting your house, you may want to get an enormous bow instead.

In our top story, our man on the automotive beat, Cory Gunther, lets you know why those bows are even a thing, where to get one, and walks you through what to do with it once the holiday season is over.

Other Highlights:

• The Apple Watch Ultra is now a dive computer.
• There’s an interesting new game to play on your notepad.
• Tesla takes on its rivals with a Model 3 redesign.
• … and more
