The Wall Street Journal may be hedging its bets on the hype it previously bestowed upon the city in the wake of the…

Picture this: a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB shimmering beneath soft uplights, framed by fragrant evergreen hedges and the gentle murmur of a bronze fountain.

Nothing recently started rolling out its Android 16–based Nothing OS 4 update to the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. The release brings a handful of new features, including an AI-powered dashboard, a refreshed Nothing icon pack, and a new “Stretch” camera preset.

However, the decision to include Lock Glimpse isn’t being well-received by users and community members, as many are criticizing it as…
Your visor fogs with breath as the start lights blink red. The world shrinks to the asphalt ribbon ahead, with engine notes melting into white noise. In this “tunnel,” every braking point appears at exactly the right moment, and your hands seem to steer on autopilot. That razor-edged clarity racers chase on track is called a flow state, and the same mental gear can supercharge your workouts and workdays. What Is a Flow State?

Aside from making your teeth chatter, there are the notable negatives as well as its positives to consider.Tasked with the challenge of testing the latest cold-plunge pools earlier this year, I reluctantly jumped on the bandwagon.
