Posted: 16 Jun 2022 01:56 AM PDT Tesla has raised the prices of select Model 3, Model Y, Model X, and Model S vehicles, Electrek reports. The largest price increase affects the Model X Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive version, which saw a $6,000 increase from $114,990 to $120,990, while the Model S Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive configuration increased by $5,000 from $99,990 to $104,990. Tesla's most affordable car, the Model 3, was spared from the most severe increases. One version of the Model 3 is seeing an increase, however. The Long Range version of the Model 3 increased in price by $2,500 from $54,490 to $57,990. However the price of the most affordable Model 3 version sold online, the Rear-Wheel Drive model, is staying the same at $46,990. That was the price it rose to... |
This PC orchestra, built from 512 floppy disk drives, is wondrous to hear and behold Posted: 16 Jun 2022 01:06 AM PDT When I was a kid growing up in rural Yorkshire, one of the regular attractions at local fairs was a huge steam-powered organ: a baroque monstrosity of pipes, horns, and whistles that would parp out classical tunes to the delight of onlookers. I don't know if steam organs are still a thing, but if they've been retired then I have the perfect replacement: the Floppotron — a mammoth "PC hardware orchestra" that plays music using only electric motors. Like a fairground organ, the Floppotron is unwieldy, massive, musically unsubtle, and a complete joy to behold. It's the work of Polish engineer Paweł Zadrożniak, who's been building various iterations of the instrument since 2011. The first Floppotron consisted of just a pair of floppy drives p... |
Samsung Wallet is back to organize your ID, keys, and crypto Posted: 16 Jun 2022 12:00 AM PDT First, there was Samsung Wallet. Then it became Samsung Pay. Now, because time is a flat circle, Samsung is bringing the Wallet app back — basically, bringing a lot of existing Samsung services into one app. And this time, there's crypto! The new Samsung Wallet is available today, and it will take the place of the current Pay and Pass apps, which currently handle payment cards and passwords, respectively. It also integrates with SmartThings to store certain digital home and car keys. And, of course, the new Samsung Wallet integrates with the existing Samsung Blockchain Wallet app, so you can easily check the value of your cryptocurrency portfolio. Or maybe don't. Samsung also plans to add some features it teased at its Unpacked event... |
Amazon Prime Day 2022 will take place on July 12th and 13th Posted: 15 Jun 2022 10:13 PM PDT Amazon's annual shopping event, Amazon Prime Day, will officially kick off at 3AM ET / 12AM PT on Tuesday, July 12th, and run through Wednesday, July 13th, the company announced today. We knew it was going to be July, thanks to a prior earnings call, but now Amazon Prime subscribers know when to set their clocks for. This year's Prime Day is a few weeks later than it occurred last year, but it's maintaining its summer timing, as opposed to during the height of the pandemic in 2020 when Amazon delayed the event until October. And if you're in the market for toys, tech, home goods, or pretty much anything else, it may be one of the best times to save money outside of the Black Friday / Cyber Monday holiday shopping season. It's almost a... |
SwitchBot’s retrofit smart door lock installs in under a minute Posted: 15 Jun 2022 08:00 PM PDT SwitchBot, the company that makes tiny robotic fingers to press your switches for you, is branching further into the smart home. The new SwitchBot Lock ($99.99) sticks to your door and turns the thumb turn automatically to lock and unlock it. This is the simplest retrofit smart lock solution I've ever seen. SwitchBot says it can be installed in seconds since there's no need to remove any part of your existing door lock. But it does look a bit odd. The SwitchBot Lock will be available starting June 20th at Amazon and the SwitchBot store along with two compatible keypads — the SwitchBot KeyPad ($29.99) and the SwitchBot KeyPad Touch with a fingerprint reader ($59.99). |
Here’s what happens when Sonos won’t stop sending you speakers Posted: 15 Jun 2022 05:51 PM PDT A couple of days ago, The Verge reported on a strange glitch that caused Sonos to ship customers more items than what they ordered — and charge extra on top of that. While most customers received anywhere from two to six extra speakers, we were recently contacted by a customer who has had a much more extreme experience. As a quick recap, all of this emerged after two users contacted The Verge about this issue earlier this week and pointed us to a Reddit thread with users who had the same (or similar) experiences of ordering one or two speakers and receiving several in return. In an email sent to customers (which you can read in full in our previous report linked above), Sonos attributed the problem to a system update resulting in "some... |
Here are some last-minute Father’s Day gifts that should arrive on time Posted: 15 Jun 2022 05:43 PM PDT Panicking because Father's Day is just around the corner and you have yet to pick up your dad something special? Fret not because we've got your back. We did a bit of digging and found a variety of excellent gadgets Dad will love, all of which you can still order today and receive in time for Father's Day. You don't necessarily need to be an Amazon Prime member to receive some of these in time for the holiday either, nor do you need to pay extra for expedited shipping at places like Best Buy, Target, or Walmart. Also, if you still can't decide what to buy after looking through our list, be sure to check out our Father's Day 2022 gift guide. And if you really can't make up your mind and end up leaving things until the last minute, we've... |
Boring Company receives approval for expanding its tunnels to downtown Las Vegas Posted: 15 Jun 2022 04:10 PM PDT Elon Musk's Boring Company has received unanimous approval to expand its system of tunnels beneath downtown Las Vegas. The expansion will add stops at landmarks like the Stratosphere and Fremont Street, letting customers hop aboard a Tesla and travel from one part of the city to the next. The network of tunnels, called the Vegas Loop, is supposed to span 29 miles and have 51 stops when finished. But for now, only 1.7-mile tunnels are operational beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), turning what would be a 25-minute walk across the convention center into a two-minute ride. The system uses human-controlled Model X and Y vehicles to transport passengers, despite Musk's previous statements about using sleds to carry cars through... |
YouTube Music leapfrogs Spotify Wrapped with new seasonal recap playlists Posted: 15 Jun 2022 03:46 PM PDT YouTube is introducing new seasonal recaps of your top artists, songs, albums, and playlists to YouTube Music, starting first with the Spring Recap. YouTube rolled out a Spotify Wrapped-style annual recap at the end of last year, but now YouTube owner Google is taking the concept further with seasonal rundowns. "Similar to the 2021 Recap, you'll find your personalized content in the Spring Recap landing page on the YouTube Music app along with your personalized Spring Recap playlist," YouTube product manager Ayshaw Khan wrote in a blog post. "Want to tell your friends about your favorite songs of the Spring? Easily share your Spring Recap playlist and stats by simply tapping the arrow at the bottom of your stats card." |
The Kraken crypto exchange is hiring — as long as employees don’t call things racist Posted: 15 Jun 2022 02:54 PM PDT With the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and almost every other cryptocurrency tumbling dramatically, major crypto companies like Coinbase and Crypto.com have laid off hundreds of workers in the past few days alone. But one company is on a hiring spree — just not for employees who will call out racism, transphobia, or label other kinds of workplace behavior toxic. The Kraken cryptocurrency exchange, ranked in the top five globally by trade volume, announced in a blog post Wednesday that it was hiring more than 500 new staff, as long as they fit with the company's vision of a "crypto-first culture." Another document linked in the post outlines the fundamentals of that culture divided into sub-sections that summarize a particular vision of... |
