The Cybertruck hasn't even hit the market yet, and Elon Musk already is lamenting that Tesla Inc. has dug its own grave. Its stainless steel body may be able to withstand bullets and arrows, but it's going to be a bear putting the panels together. It will be Tesla's first high-voltage vehicle, offering the benefit of faster charging, but also potential pitfalls. And it will be Tesla's only product dependent on in-house battery cells that are years behind schedule.In these respects and others, the Cybertruck will be a big…

On July 25, 2021, Pedro Huertas, an American doctor trying to cross from Canada into the U.S. at the Highgate Springs border crossing in Vermont, told a border guard he was bringing one $2,000 stone statue with him.  He was lying. A search of his vehicle revealed nine bubble-wrapped packages of various sizes, one of them long and thin, others small, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. court.

Head to a kiosk and enter your record locator.“Is this your trip?” the kiosk asks. (Yes.)“What do you need to do? Print a boarding pass? Check a bag? Change a seat? Purchase a mileage multiplier for $12.99? Hear about our…

June Wan/ZDNETUpdate (11/21/2023): Just a day after Nothing Chats went live on the Google Play Store, the company has taken down the app and says it will be "delaying the launch until further notice." The decision comes not because of Apple's late-week decision to bring RCS to iPhones in 2024 but because of security and privacy concerns. Several sources, including 9To5Google and Texts.blog, have pointed out that messages, pictures, and videos exchanged on Nothing Chats, powered by Sunbird, were not end-to-end…

One of the big yuks about this summer’s Barbenheimer hybrid event was that both Oppenheimer and Barbie were so completely different. One was colourful, the other was monochrome. One was joyous, the other incredibly serious. One had women who actually did stuff in it, the other was Oppenheimer. But with the benefit of hindsight, maybe the films had more in common than we thought. Oppenheimer, after all, was a film about decisions that had horrible consequences; about a huge and impressive feat that plunged the world into a…
