Transportation power-ups

Google's Pixel 5 ushered in one of the largest batteries found in a Pixel device. At 4,080mAh, it's a good size for a smaller phone, and if not using the full 18W Power Delivery charging speeds the Pixel 5 is capable of, it can take a while to get topped off.

While all of these car chargers on this list are going to give you the speed you need to get your phone charged up quickly on the road, the Anker 48W PowerDrive+ III Duo Car Charger is the champ here. Anker has a pedigree of making very high-quality charging accessories, and this car charger brings that in its 18W PD port and 30W PD ports to ensure you can power even your mos power-hungry devices without a car.

If you want to pick up a car charger and mount in one or upgrade an existing one, the Bolt Car Mount and Qi Fast Wireless Charger with Auto Sense Locking is just the ticket. The Bolt has a max output of 15W wirelessly, which perfectly lines up with the Pixel 5. This mount also has a nice feature of automatically opening and closing its locking arms to secure your phone, so you don't have to fuss with that part while trying to get on the road.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context.
