Floyd Mayweather is fighting Logan Paul in February

Posted: 06 Dec 2020 08:00 PM PST

YouTuber Logan Paul has struck a deal to fight former boxing megastar Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a "special exhibition" match on February 20th. The bout will be streamed as a pay-per-view on Fanmio.

Mayweather is an undefeated champion with a 50-0 record, multiple world titles in five weight classes, and an Olympic bronze medal. Paul is best known for his controversial YouTube video where he filmed a dead body in a Japanese forest. He has fought in one sanctioned boxing match: a loss to fellow YouTuber KSI.

Needless to say, this is unlikely to be a festival of evenly matched athletic prowess. But Mayweather is not above signing up to exhibitions for the spectacle and the payday. His 50th official win involved him coming out of retirement...

New trailers: The Marksman, The Dig, The Mauritanian, and more

Liam Neeson stars in The Marksman

I finished The Undoing and while it was disappointingly messy with a plot that didn't quite come together, I think we can all agree that 1) Nicole Kidman's coats were amazing and 2) Hugh Grant should absolutely play more villains. I'm also kind of on a kick of catching up on shows I missed because I didn't have premium cable, and just started season one of Homeland (I know, I know). Still deciding what I think but as I'm sure has been observed by many others, Carrie is very intense!

New trailers this week include Liam Neeson in The Marksman and Ralph Fiennes in The Dig (big "the" theme this week), and I managed to find five non-holiday flicks for you (you're welcome).

At some point, will Liam Neeson get a break from...

Aptera is back with a new EV it says doesn’t need charging

Aptera is taking pre-orders for its new solar electric vehicle | Aptera

Aptera, the company that shuttered in 2011 after failing to secure funding for its three-wheeled electric car, is back with a new solar electric vehicle it claims never needs charging, at least, for most drivers. And it predicts its top model, with a battery of 100 kWh, can get up to 1,000 miles of range.

The new three-wheeled, two-person (or two adults plus pet, as its specs suggest) vehicle has a solar roof array that can provide up to 45 miles of range per day, so if you have that top model and add the charge from the solar panels while it's parked, then the 1,000 range seems ... possible. Although, as Car and Driver points out, the vehicle doesn't run just on solar power while driving.

The true price of a PlayStation 5

This past week I've been watching eBay, trying to decide if I should sell my PS5. I wouldn't dream of becoming a scalper, but it's getting hard to ignore just how much it's worth. My daughter and I had beaten Astro Bot and Miles Morales, so I thought I'd peek at the resale market. Wow, are they worth a lot!

And it's not just the PlayStation 5 — I found that Xbox Series X and S, Nvidia's RTX 3090, 3080, 3070, and 3060 Ti graphics cards, and AMD's rival RX 6800 and 6800 XT GPUs are all commanding incredibly high prices on the resale market. It no longer surprises me how each big ticket holiday gaming gadget sells out nigh-instantly anytime they're restocked; the incentive for scalpers is just too high. They're so high even folks like me,...

Go read this NY Times report about how police departments are using drones

Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:40 AM PST

As drones get smarter and the Federal Aviation Administration issues more waivers for its drone regulations, we're likely to see more law enforcement agencies using them in their day-to-day, including for 911 calls. The formidable Cade Metz writes for The New York Times about what this looks like in practice, and to be perfectly honest, it's extremely disconcerting, as Chula Vista, California officers "chase" a "suspect" using a drone:

When the man left the car, carrying a gun and a bag of heroin, a nearby police car had trouble following as he sprinted across the street and ducked behind a wall. But as he threw the gun into a dumpster and hid the bag of heroin, the drone, hovering above him, caught everything on camera. When he...

SpaceX has launched a second Dragon capsule to the space station

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Cargo Dragon spacecraft will launch Sunday from Kennedy Space Center | SpaceX

Update December 6th, 11:35AM ET: SpaceX successfully launched its latest mission to the International Space Station, using its upgraded Dragon capsule that will dock with the station tomorrow at about 1:30PM ET.

Original story: This morning, SpaceX is set to launch its latest batch of cargo and supplies to the International Space Station, but the company is using a slightly different spacecraft for this flight than resupply missions of the past. SpaceX is flying its newly upgraded Dragon capsule to transport the goods to space — the same vehicle that the company has been using to fly astronauts to the station.

SpaceX has been resupplying the space station since 2012, and for all of its 20 previous missions, the company has used the...
