More gift gadgets for Father’s Day | What technique?

If your dad likes technology, here are some Father’s Day gift ideas.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (WHAT IS TECH?) – Father’s Day is less than two weeks away – June 16 – and if you don’t have the perfect gift yet, we’ve got you covered.

Here are some tech gadgets that could save your dad in the long run.

Dimo is an OBD 2 scanner used to diagnose problems in a vehicle. You’ve seen professionals plug one of these in while servicing their car to find what’s causing the check engine light to come on. With his own, he can turn off the light himself if it’s nothing serious, saving him about $100 to have someone else do it.

Dimo also tracks the car’s performance and pays out cryptocurrency, sharing this information with the car manufacturer. For every mile you travel, you earn points or tokens that can be exchanged for cash.

A dash cam is a good investment as many insurance companies now accept video recordings for all claims. If someone hits your car, you have proof that it wasn’t your fault. Starts recording from the front and rear cameras when the car is moving. This can even happen if someone hits your car in a parking lot.

And if neither of them sails their own boat, how about a TV in a suitcase? LG StanbyME is a portable 27-inch TV with a built-in battery that you can take with you anywhere. Kind of like Inspector Gadget. It’s already on the market for $900. I bet he’ll be the only dad at the tailgate party who has something like this.

Check out any electronics for sale. Retailers typically have tech items on sale to celebrate Father’s Day. This is yet another proof that dads love new gadgets.
