Flames, Shaker Hood, and a $25K Gamble on a 2010 Challenger R/T

A low-mileage 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T with a 5.7L Hemi and a six-speed manual, just 23,000 miles, is listed for $25,000 in North New Jersey. It features a bold flame-painted exterior, a shaker hood with a Cervinis cold-air intake (claimed to add up to 15 hp), aftermarket wheels, a large rear wing, extra gauges, and a largely stock interior with modern amenities. The piece calls it a turnkey, well-kept package but questions whether the aftermarket mods and the price justify the value, noting that the $25K tag sits near the price of newer, more powerful Challengers.

Given Tesla's Linux-based infotainment stack and use of HTML/CSS/JS across apps, swapping CSS stylesheets could implement themes. Tesla already allows customization (lock sounds, wraps, car visuals), and themes could improve usability with high-contrast or accessibility options and could be exposed in Display/Toybox settings as opt-in skins.

Windows 11 gains customizable context menus with a Windows 10-style vertical layout option

The legacy context menu remains available but not as the default, and Microsoft plans to officially announce the changes soon.

iOS 27 Quietly Shrinks the Lock Screen Clock to Let Wallpapers Shine

iOS 27 adds a new compact clock mode that shrinks the time to about the size of the date and places it in the Lock Screen’s top row, letting your wallpaper show through.

Toyota's Hidden Diagnostics Screen Revealed in Infotainment

A TikTok reveals that newer Toyota models hide a diagnostic screen inside the infotainment system. Access requires turning the radio off, enabling the display, and swiping edge-to-edge five times in one direction and five in the opposite until the hidden diagnostic menu appears, which can check mic, touchscreen, backup camera, sensors, and production info. The feature is finicky and should only be used by certified Toyota technicians, since changing settings without expertise can cause issues.
