techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-08-13 05:19:29

Sales of Tesla’s Cybertruck have plummeted from their peak last year, to the point that the hulking (and expensive) GMC Hummer EV outsold the polarizing steel-clad curiosity in the second quarter. Tesla sold just 4,306 Cybertrucks in the second quarter, just shy of the 4,508 Hummers that GMC moved in the same period, according to new data from Cox Automotive. Both were beat by Ford’s F-150 Lightning, which once again became the best-selling electric truck in the U.S. in the first quarter, beat

Astronomer Says the Object Approaching Us From Beyond the Solar System Is Not What We Think

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-13 08:23:20

Earlier this month, astronomers were thrilled to spot an interstellar object — only the third of its kind ever observed — hurtling toward the center of the solar system on an extremely unusual trajectory and at a breakneck velocity. While we're only beginning to understand the unusual object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, the discovery led to widespread speculation, with some scientists suggesting that it may be almost as old as the Milky Way galaxy itself, and billions of years older than our own Sun.

Steam now bans games that violate the 'rules and standards' of payment processors and banks

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-13 09:42:22

Steam has added a new rule to its guidelines that has resulted in certain games getting banned, according to a report by Automaton . The new clause states that "content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam's payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers" is not allowed and could result in removal from the platform. In other words, if credit card companies get mad about something, they could actually have the power to ban a game. The

How I Lost My Backpack with Passports and Laptop

Mac graphics settings for Cyberpunk 2077 aim for console-like simplicity

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is coming to the Mac this week, a few months after the port was announced as part of Apple’s M4 MacBook Pro introduction last fall. The good news for Mac gamers is that Cyberpunk will run on just about anything with Apple Silicon in it, going all the way back to the original M1 (though owners of the last few fading Intel Macs won’t be able to play it at all). One hard-and-fast requirement for playability is at least 16GB of unified RAM. The 8GB
