This is a wireless phone charger that holds not one, not two, but three entire phones! And charges them wirelessly! Tesla makes it! For just $300! Shut up and take my money! Are you kidding me?! This is phenomenal! JANET! HEY JANET, GET MY WALLET, IT’S ON THE NIGHTSTAND.
“Inspired by the angular design and metallic styling of Cybertruck,” with 15W of power! That sounds like a lot! I should see what my normal charger does, bet it’s not half as much as this thing. Stupid normal charger, not even modeled after a truck that’s not even in production yet.
And look at this build quality. It’s got everything: aluminum housing, an alcantara surface (who doesn’t love the feel of a suede-like microfiber material?) and a detachable magnetic stand that both lays flat and sits at an angle! This way I can never not be looking at my three phones, even when they’re charging. This is going to be so awesome. Best three hundred dollars plus tax I’ll probably ever spend. JANET, WHERE ARE WE WITH THAT WALLET?
Hell yeah, it uses FreePower technology, that means I’ll be able to just throw a few grand worth of Qi-compatible earbuds, mobile devices, smart watches and accessories on this thing all willy-nilly. Won’t have to line them up or anything because that’s how I do it. I’m the type who moves fast and breaks things.
Aw, whaddya mean it’s not coming out until February? In Tesla months that could be years from now! JANET! IX-NAY ON THE ALLET-WAY!

After being hacked for the second time in as many years this August, password manager app Lastpass announced on Thursday the most recent intrusion was much more damaging than initially reported with the attackers having made off with users’ password vaults in some cases. That means the thieves have people’s entire collections of encrypted personal data, if not the immediate method to unlock them.
“No customer data was accessed during the August 2022 incident,” LastPass CEO Karim Toubba, explained. However, some of the app’s source code was lifted and then used to spearphish a Lastpass employee into giving up their access credentials, then used those keys to decrypt and copy off, “some storage volumes within the cloud-based storage service.”
Among the encrypted data obtained by the hackers included basic customer account information like company names, billing, email and IP addresses; and telephone numbers, Toubba continued. “These encrypted fields remain secured with 256-bit AES encryption and can only be decrypted with a unique encryption key derived from each user’s master password using our Zero Knowledge architecture,” Toubba said. “As a reminder, the master password is never known to LastPass and is not stored or maintained by LastPass.”
Still, you’re going to take the company’s word for it? I’m not. It’ll be a pain but swapping out all of your various existing site passwords for new ones — as well as picking a new master password — might ultimately prove necessary to regain your online security. Or you could just tell Lastpass to go kick rocks and switch over to 1Password or Bitwarden.
