Madman Sets Up Entire Server on Disposable Vape, Hosts Its Own Website

"Vibe" coding? Try vape coding. Either the most sober — or the most nicotine-addled — individual of all time has done the improbable: hosting an entire website on a single disposable e-cigarette. According to programmer Bogdan Ionescu, it's a stunt that's meant to demonstrate just how ridiculously tricked out even one-and-done vapes have become, he shared on his blog last week. Ionescu said he had been collecting disposable vapes for years, but it was only last year that he realized that some

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-01 17:55:00

Yesterday, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into Tesla following a report by Bloomberg that its electric door handles could stop working when a vehicle's low-voltage battery fails. That created a safety hazard that the publication found could trap passengers when a Tesla car was in an emergency situation, such as a crash. Now, Bloomberg is back with the news that Tesla plans to redesign those problematic handles. Tesla design head Franz von Holzhause
