If McLaren released a Senna-themed PC, it would probably look like this build from modder Robeytech. It’s not just aesthetically pleasing, as the computer features an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core processor, 32 GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB RRD4-3200 memory, an MSI MPG X570 Gaming PRO Carbon WiFi ATX AM4 motherboard, an AMD Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB graphics, and a Seagate FireCuda 2TB internal hard drive.

Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertruck event on Thursday night may have appeared to be a disaster at first, but everything could have went exactly as planned, broken windows and all. The one standout had to be the Cyberquad electric ATV, which has been confirmed to be an option for the Cybertruck. What you may not know is that it’s actually based on the Yamaha Raptor platform.

A fifth force of nature may have been discovered by scientists at the Institute for Nuclear Research at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Atomki). The team was closely monitoring how an excited helium atom emitted light as it decayed, and the particles ended up splitting at an unusual angle, 115 degrees, which couldn’t be explained by known physics. They called this new particle X17 because they calculated its mass at 17 megaelectronvolts. Read more for a video and additional information.

While still developing the first-generation foldable RAZR, Motorola Mobility filed a patent back in May 2018 with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) and the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office) for a folding telephone with various touch sensors on the sides of the device, titled ‘cumulative sensor in a foldable device’. It was approved on November 21, 2019, and from the sketches, we see a narrow, elongated flexible screen that can be folded horizontally.
Mike Harrah Harrah, a movie stuntman by trade and drag racer by night stumbled upon pair of V12 diesel engine from a 300-foot yacht recently. What happened next? He created Thor, a Pterbilt 359 Crew Cab semi-style tractor truck powered by those two 852 cubic-inch V12 engines, but with 12 superchargers and even a jet engine from a Hawker 800 business aircraft behind the cabin just to power the truck’s electronics.
NASA scientists has sent BRUIE, or the Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration, into Antarctica this month to drive upside down under sea ice. Why? It’s spending the next month testing its endurance at Australia’s Casey research station in Antarctica in preparation for a mission to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa in search for life beyond Earth. The Antarctic waters are the closest Earth representation of the seas of an icy moon, which makes them a great testing ground for BRUIE technology. Measuring three feet long and equipped with two wheels to roll along beneath the ice, the buoyant rover can take images and collect data on the important region where water and ice meet, or the “ice-water interface.” Read more for a video and additional information.
Elon Musk’s Cybertruck presentation may not have went as planned last night, with the two bulletproof windows shattering, but there was at least one shining moment when he showed it drag racing a Porsche 911. After the said race was shown, he reassured the crowd that none of it was CGI, but rather a real race that took some place in what appears to be a desert of some sort.

First seen a couple of years ago, AR500 Armor partnered with Heckler & Koch, TEA Headsets, Sog Knives & Tools, Armasight, SureFire, Wilcox Industries Corp, and Team Wendy to create a line of ballistic armor inspired by the Mandalorian bounty hunters from Star Wars. If you’re not familiar with these bounty hunters, the armor is a unifying symbol of the clans that allow them to identify easily as fearsome warriors while being customizable enough to tell who is who.
