Another alleged Google Pixel 7 prototype has surfaced, this time from a Reddit user who says they bought it on Facebook Marketplace. From appearances, it’s a Pixel 7 Pro, which Redditor AMC20_ says was listed as a Pixel 6 Pro without a box. It is not, in fact, a Pixel 6 Pro. Google’s phones have a long history of unusual leaks, but even by Pixel standards, this is a strange one. It’s also the second time a prototype Pixel 7 Pro has surfaced in the last week. In case you missed episode one of this saga, someone listed a…

The AMD-based El Capitan supercomputer isn't set to go online until 2023. However, in preparation for the new exascale supercomputer, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA, not to be confused with the NSA or NASA) has produced three smaller prototype supercomputers to test out El Captains' hardware systems. Despite not being the real supercomputer deal, these three computing monsters have been found to pack a serious punch, with each landing on the top 200 list of the world's fastest supercomputers.El…

A few days ago, live images of the yet-to-be-announced Pixel 7 surfaced on the internet, and apparently, the prototype version of the smartphone was on sale on eBay months before its release. Now, its bigger sibling – the Pixel 7 Pro – is also doing the rounds of the internet for the same reason.The seller who posted the ad for the Pixel 7 on eBay allegedly also put out an advertisement for the Pixel 7 Pro on Facebook Marketplace last month. However, little did they know that it was the upcoming Pixel 7 Pro. According to…

The company leaked the rear design of the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones in May at its Google I/O keynote, while revealing that the handsets would be powered by next-generation Tensor chipsets. The alleged leaked images of the Google Pixel 7 Pro prototype have surfaced days after the smaller Pixel 7 appeared on eBay. Both phones were previously tipped to feature similar…

It looks like there are several stolen Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 7 prototype devices that have been sold on the black market right now. We saw an eBay auction for a Pixel 7 a few days ago, with the reseller claiming they had already sold the Pixel 7 Pro to someone. A photo proved that was the case. Now, there’s a report from an actual Pixel 7 Pro buyer claiming they used a prototype for three weeks. Then, something unexpected happened. Google wiped the phone remotely, so the user unexpectedly lost access to all of…

Elon Musk announced that Tesla might have a working prototype of Tesla Bot, also known as Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot, by September 30 – the end of the third quarter of 2022.

A couple of days ago a Google Pixel 7 prototype did the rounds over on eBay and Facebook Marketplace, live images and all, and it didn't take very long for its bigger brother to be subjected to a similar treatment. This time around there isn't anyone trying to sell a prototype, but live images of it have been leaked even so. The Pixel 7 Pro has an additional camera compared to the Pixel 7, but otherwise the design seems very similar on the back, with the new metal camera visor that wraps into the frame on both sides.…

One of the myriad issues with hydrogen as a clean energy source is infrastructure, as it's very expensive to move around and store an extremely explosive gas. Toyota and its subsidiary Woven Planet believe they may have a solution with a new portable hydrogen cartridge prototype. The idea is that they can be filled up at a dedicated facility, transported where needed, then returned when you receive your next shipment.  The cartridges would be relatively small at 16 inches long, 7 inches in diameter and about 11 pounds in…

Believe it or not, the Pixel 7 prototype ended up being listed on both eBay and Facebook Marketplace. The device is not expected to arrive for another couple of months, so needless to say, this was not supposed to happen.Before we get down to it, it’s worth noting that Google confirmed both the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are coming. The company even showed off their renders during this year’s Google I/O, though not their front sides.That being said, the eBay and Facebook Marketplace listings came from the same person, it…
