Hasta La Gadget!

As some of you might have learnt over the weekend, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk took the wraps off a brand new electric vehicle that the company is working on, the Cybertruck. It garnered a lot of talk and a bit of controversy due to its design, which some are calling futuristic, while others are calling it weird.

However, it seems that despite the initial shock to its design, many customers appear to be enamored enough to place an order for it. According to Musk’s tweet, it has been revealed that there have been over 140,000 orders placed for the Cybertruck to date, and we imagine that those numbers should rise over time.

That being said, we should note that these orders only require a refundable deposit of $100 just to place an order, so it’s not that hard for customers to place orders and cancel them later, so maybe we shouldn’t be celebrating the Cybertruck’s success just yet. For those who are unfamiliar, the Cybertruck is essentially an electric pickup truck.

It will offer up some pretty interesting features, such as a reinforced body and window panes to make the truck more sturdy than ever. There will also be multiple versions of the truck offered, where there will single, dual, or triple motors depending on the driver’s preference, with the cheapest model starting at $39,900. The Cybertruck won’t be ready anytime soon as it has been estimated that production will only begin in 2021.

Given how much Facebook knows about us, partly due to many of us willingly handing that information over, a lot of us have become a bit more wary about Facebook’s intentions these days. Now according to a recent report from Business Insider, it seems that Facebook had at one point in time created a facial recognition app.

The report claims that back in 2015 and 2016, Facebook developed an app internally where they could point the camera on a smartphone at anyone and it will recognize them and pull up relevant information, assuming that they were on Facebook. It sounds a bit worrying as it means that strangers on the street could basically find out who we are without us knowing about it.

However, in a statement made to CNET, Facebook has reassured us that it only worked for accounts that had facial recognition enabled, and that the app was never intended to be released and was only used as a way to “learn about new technologies”. The app is said to have since been discontinued, so luckily for us, this app won’t be seeing the light of day anytime soon.

Whether or not Facebook will attempt to revisit this in the future remains to be seen, but given that the company doesn’t exactly boast the most stellar reputation when it comes to privacy, we’re sure that they plan on treading carefully in those waters.
