If Spotify Wrapped left you underwhelmed this year, TikToks Dating Wrapped trend is here to spice things up.Instead of playlists, users are serving up PowerPoint-style presentations packed with stats about their 2024 dating lives. Singles everywhere are crunching the numbers on their year of dating highs and (mostly) lows, tracking drinks, dinners, ghosting, and awkward small talk. The result? TikTok videos that lay it all bare: money spent, first kisses, tear counts, and more. The trend has gone viral, with #DatingWrapped2024 racking up more than 14.7 million posts.This is the first time Ive ever participated in this trend, and I hope its the last, says TikTok creator Maddy Macrae, who broke down the circumstances and particulars around the 20 dates she went on last year. Another creator, Tara Michelle, analyzed the outcomes of her 120 dates in 2024. Spoiler: She only liked one. @maddy_macrae_ My dating wrapped #dating #datingwrapped #2024theplot original sound Maddy While Spotify and Strava have long offered personalized year-end data, dating behavior isnt as easy to track. Dating Wrapped, created by Montreal-based software engineer Niko Draca in 2021, can help users turn their dating app data into digestible charts and stats, yet many also have taken a DIY approach, compiling their year-in-review presentations manually, pulling data from Apples Notes app, Google Calendar, and voice memos.And whereas 2024 was clearly full of ups and downs for many peoples dating lives, with just under half of all users reporting feeling somewhat-to-very-negative about online dating, the Dating Wrapped trend can be a clear lesson to try and not make the same dating mistakes this year. A lot of events occurred, shared TikToker Scott Kress, in his brutally honest dating summary. But unfortunately, none of them were relationships because I had zero of those. @scottkress_ THE LAST ONE HAUNTS ME original sound scottkress His situationships, on the other hand, were a rollercoaster. One was a 55 Gemini who left him for a woman, another left him crying for months, and the third? I dont even know why I talked to him. He wasnt funny, he was a little ugly, and, honestly, I think I was just desperate.

If youre looking to buy an electric vehicle, a handful of models now qualify for the federal EV tax credit for the first timeincluding the Tesla Cybertruck. Stricter rules for the $7,500 credit went into effect January 1, which also knocked some models off the eligibility list.There are now 18 models of EVs and plug-in hybrids that qualify for the tax credit, down from 22 models last year, according to the Department of Energy. To be eligible for the EV tax credit, part of President Bidens Inflation Reduction Act, models must meet certain domestic sourcing requirements for their critical minerals and battery components. In 2025, the percentage of materials that need to meet those requirements increased.The Cybertruck was on the EV tax credit eligibility list in 2023, but was bumped off in 2024 (along with a host of other models) when new battery sourcing rules took effect. Now, its Dual motor and Single Motor 2025 models are eligible. (Cybertrucks were also in the news at the start of the new year because one was involved in an explosion outside of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. )Also new to the list this year are the Genesis Electrified GV70; Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9; and Kia EV6 and EV9. EVs from Volkswagen, Audi, Ford, Nissan, Jeep, Lincoln, and Rivian dropped off of the 2025 tax credit list. (For Ford, the Escape Plug-in Hybrid is no longer eligible, but the F-150 Lightning still is.) EVs from Acura, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Honda, and other Tesla models (the 3, X, and Y) remain on the eligibility list from 2024.While EVs have been lauded as a climate solution, some say e-bikes are crucial to decarbonizing our transportation as wellespecially because big SUVs and trucks, even if electric, come with environmental and safety downsides. Yet e-bikes arent currently available for federal tax credits. Theres legislation considering such a credit; the Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment Act, also called the E-BIKE Act, has been introduced in Congress, but has yet to advance. The act would provide a tax credit for 30% of the cost of e-bikes that total less than $8,000. Some states, however, have implemented their own e-bike subsidies.While that tax credit hangs in the balance, the existing EV tax credit does as well. Incoming-President Donald Trump wants to get rid of the EV tax credit, though its still not clear if that will happen. If he does kill the credit, consumers who buy an EV in early 2025 could be out of luckbut since many take advantage of the tax credit as soon as they buy an EV, those people could still benefit immediately.To see the full list of eligible EVs, and to compare to prior years, visit fueleconomy.gov and select the January 1, 2025-December 31, 2025 delivery date. (You can also compare prior eligibility lists by choosing different dates, and also see eligible used EVs here.)

A year after a panel blew out of a Boeing 737 Max during flight, the nations top aviation regulator says the company needs a fundamental cultural shift to put safety and quality above profits.Mike Whitaker, chief of the Federal Aviation Administration, said in an online post Friday that his agency also has more work to do in its oversight of Boeing.Whitaker, who plans to step down in two weeks to let President-elect Donald Trump pick his own FAA administrator, looked back on his decision last January to ground all 737 Max jets with similar panels called door plugs. Later, the FAA put more inspectors in Boeing factories, limited production of new 737s, and required Boeing to come up with a plan to fix manufacturing problems.Boeing is working to make progress executing its comprehensive plan in the areas of safety, quality improvement and effective employee engagement and training, Whitaker said. But this is not a one-year project. Whats needed is a fundamental cultural shift at Boeing thats oriented around safety and quality above profits. That will require sustained effort and commitment from Boeing, and unwavering scrutiny on our part.Boeing on Friday issued an update on steps it has taken to improve safety and quality, including addressing concerns raised by employees and reinforcing their confidentiality protection.Boeing, which couldnt build new 737s during a seven-week strike by machinists last fall, said it has strengthened training for mechanics and quality inspectors. The company said it updated a system to display the names of employees who perform metal-stamping work.The company also said it has significantly reduced defects in 737 fuselages built by Spirit AeroSystems, but it declined to provide numbers. Spirit is a key supplier that Boeing is in the process of buying for $4.7 billion.The National Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate the door-plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines Max jet. Despite a gaping hole in the side, pilots landed the plane safely in Portland, Oregon, and no serious injuries were reported.A month after the accident, investigators said in a preliminary report that bolts used to help secure the panel were not replaced after work in a Boeing factory.Whitaker said the FAA will review any recommendations that the safety board makes to improve FAAs oversight work. Last summer, he admitted that FAAs scrutiny of Boeing wasnt good enough.

After some hardware failures like the infamous Zune and the under-appreciated Windows Phone, Microsoft seems to have struck Gold with the Surface 2-in-1 tablets. It gave the tech company the boldness to go all in on that brand to the point of discontinuing its other hardware products, particularly its line of computer accessories. That definitely disappointed a few fans, especially those waiting for Microsofts next ergonomic keyboard to break cover.Fortunately, one big fan decided to take up the cause and bought the manufacturing rights from Microsoft and pick up where it left off. Not only did it decide to revive some of the peripherals Microsoft discontinued, it also just released a new ergonomic keyboard that was previously rumored but never launched, adding a rather interesting entry into this category of desktop computing accessories.Designer: Incase, MicrosoftAs critical as keyboards might be in using computers, few people give them a second thought until their hands start hurting. Thats why the so-called ergonomic keyboards are quite the hot item among writers, programmers, and other avid computer users, and their designs are as varied as their prices. Almost every major manufacturer has one, including Microsoft before it axed everything but its Surface products.The Incase Compact Ergonomic Keyboard brings to life a design that was supposed to have been shuttered along with Microsofts accessories business. Truth be told, this contoured split keyboard design is nothing new and is actually a bit similar to the discontinued Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard. One big difference is the absence of the stylistic notch in the middle, giving the newer version a cleaner and more elegant appearance.The Incase keyboard is also more compact, leaving more room on your desk for other peripherals or items. That said, the cushioned wrist rests are permanently attached to the keyboard, so youll have to make sure to have plenty of room for that. This Compact Ergonomic Keyboard is also completely wireless and can pair with up to three devices via Bluetooth.The most interesting detail about this keyboard is that it runs solely on two AAA batteries that are advertised to last about 36 months. There are no ports on the keyboard at all, so theres no way for you to charge the batteries inside either. Its an odd design choice but could appeal to those who find such internal batteries cumbersome and short-lived. The Incase Compact Ergonomic Keyboard goes for only $120, which is significantly cheaper than high-end ergo keyboards but definitely within the range of rival designs from Logitech.The post Unreleased Microsoft ergonomic keyboard becomes a reality after all first appeared on Yanko Design.
