Drive with Your Phone: A Quick Guide to Android's Digital Car Key

Android’s digital car key lets compatible phones unlock (and in some cases start) your car using Google Wallet over Bluetooth, UWB, or NFC. Setup varies by car maker but generally requires an up-to-date Android device (Android 12+) and a Google account. The system offers stronger security than traditional fobs and can be shared, but losing the phone or having weak device security increases risk, so keep a physical backup key, enable biometric authentication, and consider disabling passive entry.

Fridge Memories Go Digital: The Battery-Free NFC E‑Ink Snap

VidaBay’s Snap is a 2.5‑inch, battery‑free NFC E‑Ink fridge magnet that you update from your phone; image transfer takes about 10 seconds and the 25–30 second refresh yields a lo‑fi four‑color look (black, white, red, yellow) on a Spectra 3100 screen. Alignment is fiddly—phone must be very close and often requires removing a case—so setup can take a few tries. Priced around $30 per unit (discounted) or $89 for a three‑pack, it’s a budget alternative to traditional photo frames for displaying memories on your fridge.
