DT Daily: Man From UNCLE preview, robot dog, Aston Martin GT

Add as a preferred source on Google

Today on DT Daily: Guy Ritchie brings back the swinging ’60s, Google’s newest robot wants you to take it for walkies, and a budget car from Aston-Martin?

Guy Ritchie got back behind the camera to reboot The Man From UNCLE, and that can only mean three things: lots of action, lots of clever dialog and a lot of style. Check out the super-cool trailer.

It’s been a while since we heard from Boston Dynamics, the not-so-secret robot skunkworks that was recently acquired by Google. So what have they been up to? Looks like business has gone to the dogs.

The words “budget car” and “Aston Martin” are rarely combined, unless it’s in a joke of some sort. But hey, no joke, the new Aston Martin Vantage GT is sort of a budget car, depending on your budget. DT cars editor Nick Jaynes got some seat time in the GT, so check out his full review.

Your host today is Jillian Rabe. Miss a day? Watch all the episodes of DT Daily right here. And be sure to catch our latest podcast.

Second, we should also remember it’s the latest weapon in Apple’s ecosystem arsenal, designed specifically to keep you buying the iPhone for years to come, possibly including one of the most controversial rumored iPhones on the horizon.
What is MagSafe for iPhone?
What does MagSafe do? It’s a new way for chargers and accessories to attach and talk to your iPhone. The simplest accessory is Apple's own MagSafe Wireless Charger, a $39 charging plate that looks a bit like a thinner, oversized Apple Watch charging plinth. It uses magnets to clamp itself tightly against the back of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models, securely keeping it in place for accurate charger positioning.
