look i know what you guys are thinking tech news is easy it just grows on trees
but you're wrong
it grows in the ground and you've really got to yank on it sometimes that's tech
news right after his spacex starship blew its top during a pressure test
which is apparently not a huge setback elon musk took to the internet to get
even more flack for the ridiculous
design of the new tesla cyber truck welcome to the cybertruck
unveil i mean look at that thing it's like a
de-aging snapchat filter but for polygons it looks like it was designed
when tesla had to take your kids to work day it looks like what happens when you
try to wedge a truck into a parking spot it's what a truck looks like before you
downloaded the right driver being as ugly as it is i'm not surprised that it
doesn't come with any mirrors it's like a delorean and an x-wing had a baby wait
is this the halo warthog with the low-spec gamer treatment all right guys
we're running out of good angles here anywho it starts at 39 000 us dollars
but there's also a 70 000 model with 14
000 pounds of towing capacity and that'll do zero to 60 and under 2.9
seconds oh right and there's also an atv
that can be charged in the bed of the truck the panels are made from the same
stainless steel alloy that's used in the starship rocket and they are bulletproof
the glass was also supposed to be incredibly resilient but for some reason
musk felt the need to demo this on stage when the truck clearly wasn't ready yet
i don't know i i'd still consider getting one as long as it's Windows stop
crashing after teasing it earlier this year valve
delivered the official trailer for half-life alex yesterday and i'd be
lying if i said it didn't give me the tingles
the game is a prequel set between the events of half-life 1 and 2 but fans are
combing through the trailer and are starting to be hopeful that it could
bleed directly into the post episode 2 story valve is apparently interested in
pushing forward with the franchise but temper your expectations harden your
hearts we're all just going to get hurt again aren't we a nice bonus bit of news
that came along with the game's trailer is that all owners of the valve index
that's me and even those who only bought index controllers will get the game for
free along with some other in-game goodies i mean i don't think any of them
are sufficient consolation for 12 years of waiting but that's okay
this is a happy day and NVIDIA launched the gtx 1650 super today with very
little fanfare we forgot about it we never even got one they sent some
reviewers the card but they did not provide drivers for testing it um some
outlets like tech powerup and hardware unboxed we're able to modify the
publicly available NVIDIA drivers to add support for the card but the initial
consensus seems to be that the new 159
graphics processor is well it's actually pretty great value at its price point so
it's really unclear why NVIDIA apparently wanted to avoid any reviews
coming out on launch day maybe they were just bashful maybe they were afraid of
competition from stadia
in other budget GPU news german publication heist
has put up a review of the Radeon rx 5500 showing it beating the vanilla gtx
1650 so that might be a decent lower powered option whenever the cards
actually make it to the market and hopefully they even come with drivers
