It then promised an NFC security tag that would let you disarm the system with a tap. This week, it delivered on that promise with the launch of the Arlo Security Tag.

Two years after Lego revealed a buildable model of the Transformers’ Optimus Prime that actually transformed, the heroic Autobot leader is finally getting backup with his second-in-command, Bumblebee, debuting as a 950-piece set that transforms into a Volkswagen Beetle — or at least a close facsimile thereof.

This is going to be the year Trevor Lawrence puts it all together for the Jags.

Jacksonville Jaguars fans born on this side of the millennium have two main memories: the 2017 playoff run and the 2020 tankathon.

The “Sacksonville” team of ‘17 holds a special place in the heart of every Duval citizen, but the final stretch of the regular season three years later — when Jacksonville grew its losing streak to 15 consecutive games and a 12-36...
