The IntelliBoost RG600 by Rugged Geek is a compact lithium ion battery that you can use to jump start your car, inflate a flat tire, and have charge to spare to charge your phone or a laptop.
The device is covered in a durable tire-tread material, and it’s able to withstand extreme cold and heat. It comes in a case which is loaded with accessories, including mini jumper cables, an air compressor, a universal charging cable for iOS and Android devices, lots of different laptop ports, and a car charger. As an added bonus, the RG600 also boasts a super-bright LED flashlight and strobe.
A display on the face of the device can even tell you the percent charged, and operating the device is pretty outrageously simple. In fact, the jumper cables, when connected to the IntelliBoost, are basically idiot-proof. Somehow, they can detect when they are correctly connected, and if they’re not, the power will be cut and you’ll get an alarm.
Overall, we were quite impressed with the IntelliBoost. It’s compact size and range of accessories make it extremely handy to keep in your truck.
Apple won the PC market’s worst quarter, but that’s not the entire story. It won the race by stumbling less than everyone else.
PC makers shipped just 57 million computers worldwide in Q3, which might look good, but it’s a 21% year-over-year plunge (via Counterpoint Research). And despite Apple’s Mac shipments falling by 11%, to 5.6 million, its market share rose from 8.7% to 9.8%. How did that happen?
Update (October 22 23:54 PT): In response to our query, GM clarified that offline recording support is already available on eligible vehicles. Like Tesla's Sentry Mode, it requires owners to connect a USB drive to save incident recordings, which can be viewed on the vehicle's infotainment screen. The upcoming Connected Cameras feature will build on this by giving owners remote access to these recordings via the revamped OnStar app, allowing them to check footage without walking out to their car.
General Motors has announced plans to add a new Connected Cameras feature to its OnStar service starting next year, giving drivers a way to monitor parked vehicles remotely and capture footage of certain incidents.
