Yesterday, Leapmotor and joint venture partner Stellantis revealed the B10 SUV electric vehicle at the Paris Motor Show. This new vehicle will reportedly have a starting price between $14,000 and $21,000 (though theres no word about US availability yet). This marks Chinese automaker Leapmotors latest foray into markets outside China, and it looks like this EV could sell well globally due to its lower price tag. Xavier-Alexandre Pons/Leapmotor/Stellantis The B10 SUV is Leapmotors first B-Series EV, and it uses the companys LEAP 3.5 architecture, promising smart features geared towards tech-savvy customers. However, before it reaches European customers, the B10 SUV will first be available in China. As reported by CnEVpost, it will be sold for RMB 100,000 ($14,110) to RMB 150,000 ($21,070). Leapmotor isnt the most famous brand outside of China, but the fact that Stellantis, the fourth largest auto manufacturer in the world, is backing it gives Leapmotor more credibility. The company first sold vehicles in the European market this September and has 200 dealers in 13 countries. It plans to increase the number of European dealers to 500 before the end of 2025, signifying the start of a push into the European market.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/leapmotor-reveals-b10-suv-ev-priced-between-14k-and-21k-155016806.html?src=rss

YouTube just announced around two-dozen tweaks and updates to the mobile app, the web player and the TV app. Many of these updates are on the insignificant side, so lets go over the ones that are likely to change how people use the service. Speed adjustments are getting much more granular. There will now be fine-tunable playback speed, with adjustments in 0.05 increments. Prior to this change, adjustment options were locked into 0.25 increments. True story. I watched YouTube exclusively at 0.75 speed for like two years and now whenever people talk at a normal speed I feel completely overwhelmed. Good times! The miniplayer on mobile is getting some new features. Viewers will be able to resize the player and move it around at will. YouTube says this is perfect for those that love to search for more videos to add to their queues while already watching a video. YouTube Playlists are getting a modern facelift. Theres a new co-op playlist feature. Users can send out a QR code or a web link to invite friends and family to help on a particular playlist. There will soon be a voting feature, to let you and your friends curate the best line-up. YouTubes even introducing custom thumbnails for these playlists. Standard YouTube users are getting access to the Sleep Timer, after the company tested the feature with Premium members earlier this year. This is exactly what it sounds like. If youre someone who likes to fall asleep to the dulcet tones of a Noam Chomsky interview from 1995, the timer will ensure that YouTube powers down at some point. YouTube TV is getting an updated UI for Shorts, which could be handy as this content doesnt always jive with television screens. Incidentally, Shorts can now run up to three minutes, so they dont exactly live up to their name anymore. Finally, the platform is bringing badges to both YouTube and YouTube Music. Gotta collect 'em all, or whatever. Most of these tools begin rolling out today, but it could be several days before your particular YouTube account gets the refresh. You know the drill.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/youtube/youtube-adds-tons-of-little-tweaks-including-fine-tunable-playback-speed-153926551.html?src=rss

As a big soundtrack fan, I love any occasion in which musicians perform them live in concert. So, I'm excited that Sony has created PlayStation The Concert, a world tour featuring the scores from titles like The Last of Us, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon. Previous video game concerts have included The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, which ran from 2012 to 2017. The announcement coincides with the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, with the production meant to reflect "30 years of making games that have not only captivated players but are celebrated for their breathtaking and immersive soundtracks too," Sid Shuman, senior director of Sony Interactive Entertainment Content Communications, stated in the release. The tour will start on April 15, 2025 in Dublin before traveling to cities around Europe like Paris, Oslo, London and Budapest. There should also be stops in the US and other areas of the world, with Sony planning to take the concert to more than 200 locations. While the cities outside of Europe should be announced "soon," starting at 10AM ET tomorrow, October 16, you can use the early access code PLAYCONCERT24 to get tickets for the available dates.
