Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and CEO of Tesla, made some big claims when he submitted his bid to buy Twitter two weeks ago. The tech magnate said he would “unlock” Twitter’s “extraordinary potential” and transform the company. Well, it apparently seems that some of his grand ideas include charging to embed…
From fake news to fake profiles, it’s important to know where the images that you’re looking at online have come from—and there are several different tools around to do just that. Whether you want to know where in the world a particular place is, who created a certain piece of digital art, or if the dating profile…
Special edition laptops rarely leave a lasting impression. Most add a new color scheme to an existing chassis or slap some hideous promo branding on the lid to entice fans of a popular movie franchise. Asus’ Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition isn’t one of those half-assed entries. In the 14X OLED, the Taiwanese laptop…

It’s an ideal moment to buy wireless earbuds for those springtime walks and workouts. Amazon has put the Beats Fit Pro on sale for $180, or $20 off — a good value when the store previously offered a gift card in lieu of a discount. You can also buy the Beats Studio Buds for $100 (down from $150) if you’re more interested in a lower price than an abundance of features, and the Apple-branded AirPods Pro are currently discounted to $175 (normally $249).

The Beats Fit Pro remain one of Apple’s best-kept audio secrets. They offer good active noise cancellation, balanced-but-forceful bass and many of the usual Apple earbud conveniences, but in a lower-cost, potentially more comfortable design with long battery life and better Android support. And yes, you have more color choices than the typically monochromatic AirPods.
There are some compromises. You won’t find a case with wireless charging, and we found that accidental button presses were occasionally an issue. There are still a few features that are reserved for Apple device owners, too. If those aren’t problems, though, you’ll likely be happy at this price — even when the AirPods Pro are cheaper.

I’ve never had such a conflicted relationship with a gadget, and it’s agonizing. You see, Asus made a really cool thing, but I’m having a hard time recommending it. It’s not so much the execution, but rather the price and, well, the entire concept. OK, so let me get to it: the device I’m talking about is the Asus ROG…
Documents posted by U.S. safety regulators say that a rear axle mounting bolt can fracture and cause the driveshaft to disconnect.
Back in February 2021, the Perseverance rover landed on Martian soil after a seven-month journey. A cone-shaped backshell protected it while traveling in deep space and during its fiery descent, while a parachute with a secret message that says “Dare mighty things” slowed it down enough for a safe landing. Perseverance had to leave those components behind when it started roaming the planet. On April 19th, the rover’s companion helicopter, the Ingenuity, took photos of the debris left on the landing site — and now NASA has shared images showing what it looks like.
JPL’s Ian Clark said Perseverance had the best-documented landing in history so far, but Ingenuity’s photos offer a different perspective that could help ensure safer landing for future spacecraft. That includes the Mars Sample Return Lander mission, which will retrieve the samples Perseverance collects so they could be sent back to Earth for analysis. The program’s engineers were the ones who asked whether Ingenuity can take photos of the debris.
“If [the images] either reinforce that our systems worked as we think they worked or provide even one dataset of engineering information we can use for Mars Sample Return planning, it will be amazing. And if not, the pictures are still phenomenal and inspiring,” Clark explained.
In the photo above, you’ll see what remains of the backshell and the overall result of the spacecraft hitting the surface at 78 mph. NASA notes that the shell’s protective coating remains intact, and so are the suspension lines linking the shell to the parachute that’s now buried in dirt. The agency’s scientists will analyze the images over the next weeks to determine a final verdict, which will likely include information that could aid future missions.
The “Late Night” comedian had an incredulous response to the former president’s testimony.
Psyonix is announcing an updated Rocket League Formula One Fan Pack for 2022, giving players a way to unify their passions of cars bumping into one another to score points and… also that. Much like last year’s offering, you’ll get a freshly-updated F1 car model, new audio and Pirelli-branded Wheels. You’ll also be able to deck your ride out in the livery of Alfa Romeo, AlphaTauri, Ferrari, McLaren, McLaren Miami and AlphaTauri’s farm team, Red Bull.
The car model will be based on Rocket League’sDominus Hitbox, the same one that’s used to underpin many of its crossover models. Between May 4th and May 10th, to coincide with the Miami GP, players can drop down 1,100 credits to get the Fan Pack, and those who buy now will get two additional updates through the rest of the season thrown in for free. That includes decals for Mercedes, Haas, Williams, Aston Martin and Alpine, while the fall update will include different color variants for the Pirelli wheels.
