Keyless systems are supposed to make driving more convenient. However, it’s precisely this technology that has become one of the biggest security risks in modern vehicles. Criminals are increasingly using radio devices to extend the signals of car keys and unlock vehicles without their owners realizing. This method is particularly widespread at night and in parking garages. The good news? A simple piece of aluminum foil can help protect your car from such attacks. Here’s how it works and what you can do. How keyless car theft works A smart key (also known as “keyless go” or “passive keyless entry”) continuously transmits an RFID radio signal that’s recognized by your car. As soon as the key is within range, you can unlock, enter, and start the car without even pulling the smart key out from your pocket. This always-on RFID signal is what thieves intercept. Using something called a relay device, they can extend the always-on RFID signal so that it reaches your vehicle even when you aren’t near it. Your car “believes” that its rightful owner is standing next to it, so the doors can unlock and the engine can start. Boom! Stolen. How aluminum helps foil car thieves Aluminum reliably shields electromagnetic signals. Wrapping your car key in aluminum foil creates a kind of miniature Faraday cage that RFID waves can’t penetrate. The smart key’s always-on RFID signal can therefore no longer be intercepted by a relay device. If your smart key is securely stored in aluminum foil or a metal container, your car will remain locked even if thieves are standing right outside the front door with their devices in hand. Using the aluminum foil trick correctly For the aluminum foil protection trick to actually work, the aluminum foil wrapping must be tight and wrinkle-free. Two to three layers are usually sufficient. Here’s how you should proceed: Wrap the key completely in several layers of aluminum foil. Test it! If your car no longer opens, the insulation is working. Alternatively, you can also put your smart key inside a small box that’s lined on the inside and covered on the outside with aluminum foil. Is there a better solution? Aluminum foil is a simple trick that works as an immediate stopgap measure. However, if you regularly park in densely populated areas, or if you park your vehicle on the street at night, or if you travel frequently, then you should consider a more permanent solution. RFID-blocking Faraday pouches are convenient, durable, and protective. They’re extremely affordable and they come in different sizes to best fit your particular key fob. You can find them on Amazon for between $7 to $15, depending on size and brand. Get an RFID Faraday Pouch on Amazon Security experts recommend that smart car keys should never be left near doors or windows, as this is where the signal is most easily intercepted. You should also check whether the passive keyless function on your car can be deactivated. Some manufacturers offer corresponding options via the menu or a key combination. Other smart car security tips include: Park your vehicle in well-lit, visible areas. Use visible anti-theft devices such as steering wheel claws as an additional deterrent. Check the behavior of your key regularly. A change in range may indicate malfunctions or technical problems. Read...

When you buy an expensive piece of technology, you want to know that it’ll have support from the manufacturer for a long time. That goes double for graphics cards and similar tech, where the latest games might need driver tweaks. That’s why the latest AMD Adrenalin release is dismaying for owners of cards and laptops just a few years old: a lot of them just got left in the dust. New Game Support is spelled out for “Radeon RX 7000 and 9000 series graphics products” in the release notes…leaving Radeon RX 6000 and 5000 cards, the newest of which were released just two to three years ago, with only “maintenance mode” support. This is a line that hasn’t been included in other update text posts, so the conspicuous absence of older cards was immediately jarring to many users. AMD has since confirmed that graphics hardware based on RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 will not get optimization for the latest games, instead being moved to only critical security and bug support. That means these RDNA 1 and 2 graphics systems, including the integrated graphics on many laptops and handhelds, will start to fall behind the graphical curve a lot faster than they might otherwise. Some of these chips were released as late as 2023, though the majority came out in 2022 or earlier. The Steam Deck may feel like it stands out as the 800-pound gorilla here — the custom 8-core APU designed for Valve’s handheld gaming PC debuted in February 2022, with RDNA 2 support. With millions of users on the Steam Deck alone and no first-party successor in sight, it seems shocking that AMD would drop support for RDNA 2 in particular. But the Valve actually uses Linux’s open-source RADV drivers for the Steam Deck, so it shouldn’t be affected here. Gamers who install Windows on their Steam Deck, or have a Windows-based handheld with AMD’s RDNA 2 tech inside (like the just-launched ROG Xbox Ally) are seemingly, suddenly staring at a bleak future. Maintenance-only support doesn’t mean that these graphics cards, laptops, and handhelds will suddenly stop working. They’ll be able to play new games…unless they run into a problem, at which time developers will be on their own when it comes to a fix. Without significant driver updates, AMD’s RDNA 2-based GPUs will begin to be less and less useful for the newest games and other tech. The latest Adrenalin driver package includes New Game Support tweaks for Battlefield 6 and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2…tweaks that won’t benefit owners on this older hardware. PC gamers are, in a word, pissed. While no hardware stays in full support forever, this decision comes at a time when AMD’s graphics market share is falling further and further behind Nvidia. Trying to lean into newer devices and leaving owners of older hardware out to dry isn’t a great way to create loyalty, no matter how good the latest RDNA 3 and 4 features are. I also can’t help but wonder if AMD is redistributing some resources, trying to prioritize its better-faring CPU and/or industrial AI output. Read...

Welcome to The Full Nerd newsletter—your weekly dose of hardware talk from the enthusiasts at PCWorld. Missed the burning topics on our YouTube show or fresh news from across the web? You’re in the right place. Want this newsletter to come directly to your inbox? Sign up on our website! I have a plan for Ryzen 9000G chips. That is, if they come to be. It seems likely given that we’ve seen successive generations of AMD desktop APU processors—and recently, a bit of juicy speculation. The talk derives from a dig into the recent AESA 1.2.7.0 update for 800-series motherboards. Users on X/Twitter think there are hints at the coming of Strix Point for desktop.  If this projection ends up holding true, some believe we could see as many as four 9000-series APUs hit the market, with both Kraken Point and Strix Point represented. The rumor mill is pegging these as upgraded processors across the board. The vision: At the bottom of the stack, a 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 3 9300G, with 6 RDNA 3.5 cores. In the middle, an 8C/16T Ryzen 5 9500G with 8 RDNA 3.5 cores. And at the top, a 12C/24T chip with 16 RDNA 3.5 cores. (Videocardz.com thinks it’d be named the Ryzen 7 9700G, but its core count suggests a name more like 9800G or 9900G.) For comparison, the 8300G was still stuck on 4C/8T, with just four RDNA 3 cores. The 8700G capped out at 8C/16T with 12 RDNA 3 cores. I’m excited. I love the idea of a simple, easy suggestion to give people building gaming PCs for their kids. I love the possibility of squeezing a usable gaming machine into a sub-5L DIY PC. I love a lower power bill that I min/max more than my character builds in games.  (San Francisco’s electric rates aren’t Europe-high, but they’re still pretty expensive. The LA metro area is cheaper, which I find crazy.) Right now, there aren’t many options for budget discrete graphics cards. Adam Patrick Murray / Foundry I’m also aware I’m the very problem that I worry about.  Whether or not these chips land, the budget end of discrete graphics will still be stagnating. Between tariffs, economic anxiety around inflation, and other factors, the focus on the high end has shrunk prospects for new, powerful, and affordable discrete cards. If Gordon were here, he’d probably accuse me of needless hand-wringing, but look man, things look depressed, if not outright grim. If companies think we’re willing to accept scraps, what inventive do they have to pile the table with affordable performance? Still, I take quiet delight in the prospect of high performance in limited space. I am ready to benchmark a set of Ryzen 9000G chips at 1080p. I think it’s worth recognizing the bounty of these tech times, even as future prospects feel dry. How cool is it that performance is so high that a CPU with integrated graphics is enough to game on?  That’s the silver lining for me—that even if our prospects seem thin, we have enough performance to still see us through the lean times. I hope. In this episode of The Full Nerd In this episode of The Full Nerd, Adam Patrick Murray, Brad Chacos, Alaina Yee, and Will Smith chat about a possible upcoming launch of AMD Ryzen 9000G APUs and Windows on the next Xbox console. Turns out, I get philosophical when discussing these topics—not only did I end up riffing more on the idea of 9000G chips (ahem), but I had a lot to say about Xbox, PCs, and how well they blend together. Also, if you’re normally an audio listener, I recommend peeping at least a little of the video feed.

I found out because I couldn’t load the Xbox.com website. I would have been much more frustrated if I’d needed access to cloud content. Also low-tech but possibly high impact? Mushrooms as memory. Yeah. It’s so cool. veloci_official / Reddit Friendly BitLocker PSA: It’s worth verifying your PC’s encryption status right now—and also if you have the encryption keys saved. I’ve had odd BitLocker experiences myself, so I took this Redditor’s tale as a good precautionary reminder. Thank you, I needed the layperson version: I appreciate how this Tom’s Hardware article explains the reason for the Amazon AWS failure in terms like “Old Plan” and “New Plan.” I truly don’t know how folks who manage DNS-related systems sleep at night. A whole new take on flight sims: One of the top comments on Redditor veloci_official’s method of starting up their PC speaks deep truth. Yes, it indeed is the level of defense needed against cats and their nonchalant disregard for power buttons. We complained about a $1,000 Xbox, but…: It cost fifty cents to produce AMD’s clone of the Intel 8080 in 1975. It sold for $700. (That’s about $3 and $4,300 in today’s dollars, respectively.) Margins for computer hardware definitely aren’t like this any more. Sam Altman implies AI will eliminate jobs that aren’t “real work”: Sure, I can see how someone might think human writers and artists are equivalent to LLMs that produce slop based on their work. Dead internet theory, here we come. Leeches can get stuck WHERE? I mean, score one for medical troubleshooting, but also this is nightmare fuel. (Timely for Halloween, I suppose.) I’m now wondering when researchers will re-create GLaDos as a potato.Ohio State University Low-tech as high-tech: I love the idea of mushrooms being the future of technology. In space. Yep, plain old shiitake mushrooms as memory chips, possibly chilling in the radiation of solar flares and the like. Sus, AMD is rebadging 2022 Ryzen processors as “new” chips: Other companies have done this, but the practice of renaming Zen 2 and Zen 3+ processors as Ryzen 100-series CPUs feels murky. More games run on Linux now. I’m still not switching yet: These numbers are fascinating to dig into—almost 90% of Windows games are said to run on Linux, according to ProtonDB. But look at how many run well. (I think Will has more to say on this…) Thanks, Steve: Gamers Nexus always does us a solid by answering our burning questions. I’ve sincerely wanted to know how Yeston makes their waifu graphics cards. (I would also take a video on how they made that cat chassis, please and thank you.)

Things are about to get messy for free, over-the-air TV. This week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed a notice of proposed rulemaking that’s designed to allow broadcast TV stations to adopt the emerging ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard more quickly. If the FCC enacts these rule changes, broadcasters will no longer need to support the ATSC 1.0 standard that works with most TVs and tuners. Instead, they’ll be able to scale back their ATSC 1.0 coverage and even switch over to the new standard entirely. Broadcasters say they have no incentive to abandon ATSC 1.0 anytime soon, and that the rule changes would just give them more flexibility to support the new standard. Viewers, however, stand to lose clarity on how long their existing TVs will keep working with an antenna, and whether they’ll keep getting all the same content. Here’s what to expect next. What’s ATSC 3.0 again? ATSC 3.0, also known as NextGen TV, brings new capabilities to over-the-air broadcasts, including 4K HDR video, enhanced dialog, Dolby Atmos audio, and interactive content. Broadcasters started rolling out ATSC 3.0 in 2019, and stations in more than 90 U.S. markets now carry ATSC 3.0 channels. ATSC 3.0 is not backwards compatible, so viewers can’t access it unless their TV has an ATSC 3.0 tuner, or they have an outboard ATSC tuner box. Most TVs continue to ship with only ATSC 1.0 support, and external tuner boxes still cost upwards of $90. Only about 11 percent of U.S. households can get ATSC 3.0 today, based on broadcasters’ estimate of about 14 million compatible TVs sold to date. Broadcasters continue to support ATSC 1.0 today largely because of ATSC 3.0’s low adoption, but they’re also required to do so. Under current FCC rules, broadcasters offering ATSC 3.0 must simulcast “substantially similar” content under the old standard through at least July 17, 2027. Further complicating matters is ATSC 3.0’s use of digital rights management (DRM). Many broadcasters now encrypt their ATSC 3.0 channels, causing occasional problems for TV owners and inhibiting new over-the-air DVR products. This has only alienated the very tech enthusiasts and early adopters who otherwise might have advocated for ATSC 3.0’s success. All this has left ATSC 3.0 in a conundrum. The simulcasting requirements limit what broadcasters can put on their ATSC 3.0 stations, which in turn keeps demand low and leaves TV makers with little incentive to invest in new tuner technology. That, in turn, prevents viewers from having access to ATSC 3.0, making it harder for broadcasters to leave ATSC 1.0 behind. How long will ATSC 1.0 last? Broadcasters believe that freedom from simulcasting requirements will help them solve that conundrum. They’ve been petitioning the FCC to drop its simulcasting rules, set firm cutoff dates for ATSC 1.0, and even mandate that TV manufacturers include ATSC 3.0 support. This week, the FCC tentatively granted one of those three wishes, proposing to drop the requirement that broadcasters simulcast in ATSC 1.0 through mid-2027. If the commission votes to approve the new rules, broadcasters will be able to switch over to ATSC 3.0 at any time with just a 30-day notice to viewers. The FCC has also proposed relaxing the rules for stations that voluntarily continue to offer ATSC 1.0. Broadcasters seeking expedited simulcasting agreements would no longer need to reach 95 percent of their designated market’s population, and could instead serve their “community of license,” which might be narrower. They also won’t have to carry “substantially similar” programming across both broadcasts, which means they’ll be able to reserve some content exclusively for ATSC 3.0. None of this means ATSC 1.0 will disappear anytime soon. Broadcasters acknowledge that the ATSC 3.0 audience is still too small, and they claim there’s no incentive to withhold their most valuable content from the majority of their viewers. Still, the proposed rules could help them force things along, either by dangling exclusive content for ATSC 3.0 viewers, delivering their perpetually promised 4K feeds, or subtly degrading the ATSC 1.0 experience. It also gives them the power to set their own ATSC 1.0 cutoff dates. Broadcasters had petitioned the FCC to mandate an end to ATSC 1.0 broadcasts in the 55 largest markets by 2028, and in all markets by 2030, so that timeframe seems possible even if the FCC doesn’t set dates of its own. What happens now? Keep in mind that the FCC has not actually enacted any rule changes yet. The notice of proposed rulemaking still needs to be published in the Federal Register, which in turn will kick off a public comment period. That’ll run 60 days from the date of publication, plus another 30 days for replies. It’s unclear when that date of publication will be, especially with a federal government shutdown still ongoing. (You can already file comments today by searching for docket number 16-142.) The FCC must also work through some thornier aspects of the transition. It’s seeking comment on things like DRM, a potential tuner mandate for TV makers, and whether broadcasters should have to dedicate a specific amount of spectrum for television. (They’re eagerly eying unrelated uses for ATSC 3.0, such as enterprise datacasting, as new revenue streams.) The FCC also hasn’t ruled out hard cutoff dates for ATSC 1.0, and could revise its proposed rules based on feedback or propose further rulemaking in the future. One thing is clear, though: The way you get TV over the public airwaves is going to change, and it’s not going to be easy to navigate. Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn people off free antenna TV for good. Read...

Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference isn’t making many waves for gamer or PC hardware crowds this year, perhaps because it seems to be exclusively interested in boosting hardware for “AI” and data centers. So it’s almost ironic that a phony version of the keynote livestream reportedly relied on generative “AI” to fake CEO Jensen Huang and send viewers to a cryptocurrency scam. A YouTube channel calling itself “NVIDIA LIVE” started a livestream shortly after the real Nvidia event began, which users on Twitter reported was a deepfake video of the CEO promoting a “crypto mass adoption event.” A QR code was posted on screen that sent viewers to a site that would reportedly turn their cryptocurrency around for a profit (instead of just stealing it, which was almost certainly what was actually happening). Tom’s Hardware quotes the fake Huang: “We’re postponing the main talk for just a moment to announce something truly special, a crypto mass adoption event that ties directly into Nvidia’s mission to accelerate human progress.” A speech-to-text transcript of the fake video rambles on with cryptobro buzzwords before claiming that any supported cryptocurrency sent to the linked wallet would be converted into Bitcoin and returned. That would mean Nvidia would be giving away billions of dollars to anonymous nobodies, apparently for no reason aside from “human progress.” So yeah, even if you couldn’t see through the deepfake video or voice, you’d have to be a few GDDR modules short of an RTX 5090 to fall for it. Reportedly the fake stream had almost 100,000 viewers at one point, more than eight times that of the real Nvidia livestream, thanks to being higher in YouTube search results for at least some portion of time while the real keynote was taking place. Exactly how many people were suckered isn’t clear. The video is long gone, of course, though the small-stakes YouTube user who reportedly hosted it is still visible. In the actual keynote, the real Huang was announcing a billion-dollar investment in former phone giant Nokia and waxing about humanoid robots. GTC moved from its usual San Jose home to Washington, D.C., apparently in the hopes of a little drive-by lobbying to the Trump administration. There’s something amusing about an Nvidia CEO’s image being used to fool people into a crypto scam, since Nvidia chips were the hardware driving the crypto bubble, and indeed are now being used in much the same way for generative “AI.” Read...

At a glanceExpert`s Rating Pros Very long battery life Feels like writing on paper Cloud storage & synchronization E-ink display with colors and touch functionality Concentration-enhancing work without distraction Handwriting is precisely converted into text Smooth use on multiple devices Cons High price Handwriting conversion only in the set language Our Verdict The Remarkable Paper Pro Move is a compact, impressive e-ink tablet with a color display and long-lasting battery that imitates the feel of real paper almost perfectly—it’s ideal for writing, reading and sketching. It was developed for concentrated, distraction-free work and impresses with precise handwriting-to-text recognition, although it could do with some fine-tuning for several languages. Particularly practical: a double tap with two fingers deletes small errors in the blink of an eye. The format of the Paper Pro Move is more compact than I would like. But that is of course a matter of taste.At a price of $499, the Remarkable Paper Pro Move is no bargain, but it’s a clear recommendation for frequent writers looking for a digital notebook with a real paper feel.

When I was allowed to test the Remarkable 2 in 2020 and the Remarkable Paper Pro in 2024, I was hooked: It just felt right and I’ve only worked with these tablets ever since. Admittedly, they are very minimalist and quite expensive. But when it comes to the best writing experience on an e-ink screen, there’s no way around the Remarkable tablets. I’m admittedly a Remarkable fanboy. And this fanboy was allowed to let off steam again with the brand new Remarkable Paper Pro Move. A Remarkable Paper Pro that you can stick in your back pocket, so to speak. If you are not yet familiar with Remarkable tablets, then I advise you to read on. You’ll be surprised how good it can feel to write on a tablet. reMarkable Paper Pro Move: Unboxing and first impressions The Remarkable Paper Pro Move has arrived and the packaging is similar to its predecessors, only much smaller. The Remarkable Paper Pro Move is here, with Book Folio. Jérémie Kaiser As soon as you unpack it, you realize that the Remarkable Paper Pro Move is no ordinary tablet. It comes in high-quality packaging that immediately conveys the feeling of holding a premium product in your hands. Remarkable Paper Pro Move: Unboxing Jérémie Kaiser Everything looks well thought out, from the design to the accessories to the first switch-on. Since I know the Move’s big brother, I can already say that the tablet is a slim e-ink tablet that has been specially developed for paperless and distraction-free work, such as writing, sketching and editing documents (e.g. adding annotations to a PDF file). The writing experience is almost paper-like and all content created on the tablet can be saved in the cloud and edited synchronously on different Remarkable tablets. reMarkable Paper Pro Move: Design Like its big brother, the Remarkable Paper Pro Move is a slim and minimalist e-ink tablet with 64 GB of memory. It measures 7.7 x 4.24 inches and is very thin at 0.26 inches, but slightly thicker than the Paper Pro. At 0.51lbs, it’s almost half the weight of the Remarkable Paper Pro though. The Remarkable family: Remarkable 2, Remarkable Paper Pro and Remarkable Paper Pro Move. Jérémie Kaiser The casing remains true to the familiar design: simple, modern and in a subtle grey. Magnets on the back hold the Book Folio securely in place, while fine longitudinal grooves on the sides ensure a non-slip grip. Paper Pro Move: The design has remained the same, only smaller. Jérémie Kaiser Paper Pro Move: The feet are also magnets for the Book Folio. Jérémie Kaiser The Marker Plus with spare tips. Jérémie Kaiser The USB-C port is located—as usual—at the bottom left, the on/off switch at the top left. The supplied Marker Plus adheres magnetically to the right-hand side of the device, where it is also charged wirelessly. reMarkable Paper Pro Move: Display The display is 7.3 inches in size and has a resolution of 1696 × 954, with 264 PPI. The newcomer also relies on E-Ink Gallery 3 technology, which allows the tablet to display up to 20,000 colors. Touch function is available. The resolution is high and the lines are clear and precise as usual. It should be noted that the tablet is not designed for professional illustrations, but is ideal for sketching drafts, ideas or templates. The backlighting of the display is marvelous. This makes it easy to read or write even in the dark. The lighting can be adjusted in five levels, from completely off to brilliantly bright. These levels can be set to “extra bright” in the settings. However, the backlight is difficult to activate in complete darkness if you’ve previously forgotten to switch it on. The tablet’s response time with the pen is 12 milliseconds. Pressure sensitivity is available. And another highlight: if you make a mistake, you can either tap the display with two fingers to undo it or use the back of the marker as an eraser. The canvas color display is particularly low-reflection and produces colors using millions of microscopically small ink particles. These consist of the colors white, cyan, magenta, and yellow and are precisely controlled for each individual pixel. reMarkable Paper Pro Move: Software and functions Anyone who already owns a Remarkable will find the new Paper Pro Move easy to use: scan the QR code, enter the code and all documents and settings are automatically transferred. The tablet runs the Linux-based Remarkable OS (version 3.22.0.65), which receives regular updates for new functions and greater stability. Various tools such as ballpoint pens, pencils, calligraphy pens, and markers are available for writing. In addition to black, grey and white, there are six additional colors. Several layers facilitate illustration work in particular. Various tools such as ballpoint pens, pencils, calligraphy pens and markers are available for writing. Remarkable In addition to the backlighting, the handwriting-to-text function is another highlight. This is ideal for processing handwritten notes in Word. However, speech recognition remains a weak point: mixed texts in German and French still lead to errors. Paper Pro Move supports PDF and ePub files, enables handwritten notes, text search, and clear file management. Documents can be tagged, sorted and bookmarked—ideal for anyone who wants to work in a structured way. Thanks to cloud synchronization, all notes can also be accessed on a PC, app or other devices. Services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive make sharing easier. The Remarkable Paper Pro Move also offers numerous templates, such as lined pages, calendar layouts, or sheet music, and can be secured using a PIN code. reMarkable Paper Pro Move: Battery The Remarkable 2 and Remarkable Paper Pro had an excellent battery life. Even after a month and a half without using either of them, there was still enough power to continue working immediately. The Paper Pro Move is also impressive in terms of battery life. According to the manufacturer, the battery can be charged from 0 to 90 percent in just 45 minutes and lasts around two weeks in normal use—and even up to 90 days in standby mode. A long-term test is still pending, but after five days of intensive use, the battery was only one bar out of five. reMarkable Paper Pro Move: Accessories The Book Folio is a custom-fit protective cover for the Remarkable Paper Pro Move. It reliably protects the tablet without restricting its use. The robust material closes magnetically, holds the device securely in place and makes it easy to remove. When closed, the Remarkable automatically goes into sleep mode and is reactivated when opened. There is a loop on the right-hand side to prevent the marker from falling off. The Book Folio is available in three versions: Premium Leather in black or brown, Mosaic Weave in basalt, burgundy, or cobalt and Polymer Weave in grey. The Book Folio in several versions.

You’ve probably heard of Grammarly, the AI spelling and grammar checker. But with a rebrand, a consolidation, and a new AI agent, Grammarly now fact-checks your business communications using what it knows about current context. It’s difficult to describe this iteration of Grammarly, now renamed Superhuman, and its suite. (Fortunately, the company put together a short GIF describing how it works, which is embedded below.) Essentially, the Superhuman suite and its Superhuman Go app run various agents against your own (or AI-generated) copy, correcting any mistakes you inadvertently made about a variety of topics. Consider this example: you’re emailing a coworker, Erica, about a sales call to be held tomorrow at noon. If you misspelled “Erica,” you’d expect that it would be underlined, indicating an error. In this case, if the meeting was moved–and if Superhuman was connected to your Google Calendar–it would underline the meeting time and suggest you rewrite it with the new time instead. If the subject of the call changed, this too would be highlighted, as long as the CRM service was looped in.
