: BMW mini Coupe Concept

While its design is sure to polarize the masses, in our opinion Mini’s Coupe Concept is quite possibly the best idea to come out of their design studio since the re-launch of the modern day Mini Cooper. The concept celebrates the 50th anniversary of the brand with a compact two seater that is sure to be a hit in the segment if ever produced. The concept is powered by a 1.6 liter turbocharged engine, putting out a total of 211 horsepower which should deliver a fun driving experience when taken into the corners. We can only imagine the consensus will be mostly positive and it’ll only be a matter of time before this amazing looking coupe hits a Mini showroom near you. More shots after the jump.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Blink Mini: Is Amazon’s new security camera a worthy upgrade?

Amazon recently introduced the Blink Mini 2, the successor to the wildly popular Blink Mini indoor security camera.

But what exactly is the difference between the Blink Mini 2 and Blink Mini? And, more importantly, is it worth rushing out to replace your Blink Mini with the newer security camera?

From resolution and pricing to Person Detection and more, here's a look at everything you need to know about the Blink Mini and Blink Mini 2.

The Blink Mini 2 features an updated design, support for outdoor use

The original Blink Mini was one of the best indoor cameras thanks to its affordable price, 1080p resolution, and support for Alexa. Now, Amazon is making the gadget even more enticing with the new Blink Mini 2, which boasts a sleek new design and is capable of working both indoors and outside in the elements.

While it's still small and compact, the Blink Mini 2 looks slightly different from the old Blink Mini. Its corners are much softer, its entire chassis is white (instead of a white chassis and black faceplate), and its camera takes up a bit more space on the front of the device. The differences are apparent when the two gadgets are placed side by side -- and the minor changes add up to make the Blink Mini 2 look a bit more premium than its older sibling.

How to reset a Google Nest Mini smart speaker

The Google Nest Mini is one of the most affordable smart speakers you'll find. For less than $50, it gives you access to the Google voice assistant, lets you dish out commands to connected smart home products, and is capable of producing surprisingly robust sound. While the smart speaker is great for entry-level setups, you might eventually want to sell your Nest Mini and upgrade to something more powerful. And before you do that, you'll want to wipe all your data from the device so its next owner doesn't accidentally gain access to any of your personal information.
