A Clear Sign Just Emerged That Tesla Is Panicking

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-05 18:44:53

Tesla sales are so abysmal in Canada that Elon Musk has made the drastic choice to dramatically lower the price of the new Model Y as it attempts to climb out of the hole. As Electrek reports, a Model Y in Canada now costs $65,ooo CAD ($47,465 USD), which is a cool $20,000 CAD cheaper than it was just a few days prior. We'll get into the hows and whys in a second, but first some backstory. Earlier this year, after Trump raised the specter of tariffs against its northern neighbor, Canada moved

Xbox Ally X and Ally leaked prices make the Steam Deck sound like a steal

TL;DR The prices for Xbox’s upcoming handhelds may have leaked. The most expensive model may cost €899, while the cheaper model is said to be €599. While the metadata was scraped from ASUS’ website, these prices could just be place holders. Earlier this year, leaks suggested Xbox was partnering with ASUS to release a handheld under the Xbox brand.

There hasn’t been any truly new Xbox console hardware in five years. Instead, the first real novel Xbox device isn’t made by Microsoft at all. Asus is designing a new handheld that looks like an Xbox controller split in half with an added screen. While Microsoft has reportedly delayed its own first-party handheld PC, it will need to rely on hardware partners like Asus to push its grand new vision for Xbox hardware.

Why recycling solar panels is harder than you might think

news.ycombinator.com Anurag Srivastava 2025-09-06 06:38:18

It’s hard work soaking up sunlight to generate clean electricity. After about 25 to 30 years, solar panels wear out. Over the years, heating and cooling cycles stress the materials. Small cracks develop, precipitation corrodes the frame and layers of materials can start to peel apart. In 2023, about 90% of old or faulty solar panels in the U.S. ended up in landfills. Millions of panels have been installed worldwide over the past few decades – and by about 2030, so many will be ready to retire t

Samsung’s middle Galaxy S26 model apparently has a 50MP ultrawide camera, much like the Galaxy S25 Edge.
