Everpurse, a stylish smart bag that charges your phone cordlessly

For ladies who are tired of stuffing extra battery packs or charging cords for their smartphones inside their handbags, that struggle comes to an end now. Everpurse will allow you to simply drop your phone in a special pocket that charges your device without hooking it up to wires. This way, your phone is always charged and ready to go, even after a long day of use at work.

The technology works like this: At home, you can place your Everpurse on top of a white charging mat to load up power to the built-in dock inside the purse. When you take it out for the day, dropping your phone inside the special pocket that lines the dock up with the phone will automatically send charge to the device. The patent-pending design lets the dock couple up with your phone almost instantaneously, which keeps your phone at a steady battery level or gain more as you leave it inside the purse. When you arrive home again, just drop the purse on the white placemat again and redo your routine the following day.

Everpurse looks like your average clutch, which can be worn as a standalone bag or be dropped inside a larger purse. The design currently comes in fabric or leather finishes, and the charging dock is built inside an encasing to keep liquids out if you happen to spill something inside the bag. Everpurse also advertises that it works with both iPhone and most Androids, with a final lineup to be announced after the iPhone 5 hardware is officially revealed.

If I do say so myself, Everpurse is one of the smartest and most practical integration of a charging mat yet. You can keep an item charged seamlessly without carrying bulky accessories around, or have to constantly check your battery level to see if it’ll last the night. It also sucks to be one of those people who run into bars and restaurants looking for outlets and having to choose seats that are within reaching distance from one. Seriously, this changes everything.

As a project on Kickstarter, the creators of Everpurse are seeking $100,000 in funding to bring Everpurse to market. A pledge of $130 gets your the fabric version while $160 earns you leather. All parts of the purse will also be crafted in the United States. Additional funding can be added to request additional colors or personal engraving and stitching if you want to add a company logo or a dedication note inside the bag. The project runs up until October 13, and has earned nearly a third of its goal after only two days of funding. We look forward to seeing the Everpurse come to life, bridging technology with fashion for the tech-infused woman.

Jeep Compass EV breaks cover—but will it come to the U.S.?
jeep compass ev us newjeepcompassfirsteditionhawaii  4

Jeep just pulled the wraps off the all-new Compass EV, and while it’s an exciting leap into the electric future, there's a catch—it might not make it to the U.S. anytime soon.
This is a brand new electric version of the Jeep Compass, and being built on Stellantis' STLA platform—the same architecture underpinning models like the Peugeot E-3008 and E-5008—it looks much slicker and packs a lot more inside than previous versions of the Compass.
Let’s start with what’s cool: the new Compass EV is packing up to 404 miles of range on a single charge, a 74 kWh battery, and fast-charging that gets you from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes. Not bad for a compact SUV with Jeep's badge on the nose.
There are two versions: a front-wheel-drive model with 213 horsepower and a beefier all-wheel-drive version with 375 horsepower. That AWD setup isn’t just for looks—it can handle 20% inclines even without front traction, and comes with extra ground clearance and better off-road angles. In short, it’s still a Jeep.
The design's been refreshed too, and inside you’ll find the kind of tech and comfort you’d expect in a modern EV—sleek, smart, and ready for both city streets and dirt trails.
But here’s the thing: even though production starts soon in Italy, Jeep hasn’t said whether the Compass EV is coming to America. And the signs aren’t promising.
Plans to build it in Canada were recently put on hold, with production now delayed until at least early 2026. Some of that might have to do with possible U.S. tariffs on Canadian and Mexican vehicles—adding a layer of uncertainty to the whole rollout.
According to Kelley Blue Book, a Stellantis spokesperson confirmed that the company has “temporarily paused work on the next-generation Jeep Compass, including activities at” the Canadian plant that was originally meant to build the model. They added that Stellantis is “reassessing its product strategy in North America” to better match customer needs and demand for different powertrain options.
So while Europe and other markets are gearing up to get the Compass EV soon, American drivers might be left waiting—or miss out entirely.
That’s a shame, because on paper, this electric Jeep hits a lot of sweet spots. Let’s just hope it finds a way over here.

Charlie Cox singles out his least favorite Daredevil: Born Again episode
Charlie Cox in Daredevil: Born Again.

Daredevil: Born Again season 1 was largely reconceived after the 2023 actor and writer strikes. Dario Scardapane -- a veteran of The Punisher series on Netflix -- was brought in to be the new showrunner and he made a lot of changes to the series that were well-received. However, there's one episode that Scardapane didn't really change at all, and it happens to be the least favorite episode of Daredevil: Born Again's leading man, Charlie Cox.

During an appearance on The Playlist, Cox noted that he wasn't very fond of the season's fifth episode, "With Interest," which was a largely standalone episode that featured his character, Matt Murdock, in a bank during a hostage crisis.

Zoox recalls robotaxis after Las Vegas crash, citing software fix
zoox recall crash 1739252352 robotaxi side profile in dark mode

Amazon's self-driving vehicle unit, Zoox, has issued a voluntary safety recall after one of its autonomous vehicles was involved in a minor collision in Las Vegas. The incident, which occurred in April 2025, led the company to investigate and identify a software issue affecting how the robotaxi anticipates another vehicle’s path.
The recall, affecting 270 Zoox-built vehicles, was formally filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Zoox said the issue has already been addressed through a software update that was remotely deployed to its fleet.
Zoox’s robotaxis, which operate without driving controls like a steering wheel or pedals, are part of Amazon’s entry into the autonomous driving space. According to Zoox’s safety recall report, the vehicle failed to yield to oncoming traffic while making an unprotected left turn, leading to a low-speed collision with a regular passenger car. While damage was minor, the event raised flags about the system’s behavior in complex urban scenarios.
Establishing safety and reliability remain key factors in the deployment of the relatively new autonomous ride-hailing technology. Alphabet-owned Waymo continues to lead the sector in both safety and operational scale, with services active in multiple cities including Phoenix and San Francisco. But GM’s Cruise and Ford/VW-backed Argo AI were forced to abandon operations over the past few years.
Tesla is also expected to enter the robotaxi race with the launch of its own service in June 2025, leveraging its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. While FSD has faced heavy regulatory scrutiny through last year, safety regulations are expected to loosen under the Trump administration.
Zoox, which Amazon acquired in 2020, says it issued the recall voluntarily as part of its commitment to safety. “It’s essential that we remain transparent about our processes and the collective decisions we make,” the company said in a statement.
