Brief news items of note for Lifehacker readers, including: Pokemon GO players are still making a mess of Rhodes, the best/worst of Dash Cam Owners Australia, could blocking VPNs lead to Netflix's downfall?

Dashcams are a very handy way to keep a record of any driving incidents, and potentially save a hefty insurance excess. In an effort to make them even more useful, DashCam app Nexar plans to use advanced AI algorithms to recognise bad drivers, and warn other road users. It’s a lofty goal, but not without a few problems.

Dear Lifehacker, Are there any good dash cams specifically made for cyclists? I'd imagine the same tech could be used for motorcycles but I'm having trouble finding models in Australia. Do you have any suggestions or am I forced to strap a GoPro to my helmet?

If a picture is worth a thousand words, video of the unbelievably stupid things you see on the road is priceless. But can dash cams actually help you out in a sticky situation? Here's how to decide whether you should get one, along with the laws and insurance factors you need to be aware of.

Dash cams are a cool, easy way to record everything you see out your windshield, but they vary wildly in price and quality. If you want to really customise your own, you can make one with a Raspberry Pi.
