Tesla Arrives in India With Cars Priced for the 1%

The wait is over. Tesla has finally launched in India.

Tesla finally enters India — nine years after Elon Musk first teased its debut

Tesla has made its long-awaited entry into India with the opening of its first showroom — nine years after CEO Elon Musk first teased the move in April 2016 and following years of delays and shifting timelines in one of the world’s largest automotive markets. Tesla calls the showroom an “Experience Center” and has located it in Maker Maxity Mall in Bandra Kurla Complex, the central business district of Mumbai. The 4,000-square-foot center features the Model Y in rear-wheel drive (RWD) and long-

Not again: Sony’s WH-1000XM6 hinge shows signs of cracking

TL;DR A WH-1000XM6 user has reported a broken hinge, even after using the headphones “carefully.” While there has only been this one report so far, Sony supposedly redesigned the XM6 hinge to prevent this. The problem echoes an issue that plagued the previous XM5 model. The flagship Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are barely two months old, but a new report is raising concerns about their durability. Specifically, it’s an issue from the predecessor device we had hoped was in the past. A Reddit po

Hungary's oldest library fighting to save 100k books from a beetle infestation

PANNONHALMA, Hungary — Tens of thousands of centuries-old books are being pulled from the shelves of a medieval abbey in Hungary in an effort to save them from a beetle infestation that could wipe out centuries of history. The 1,000-year-old Pannonhalma Archabbey is a sprawling Benedictine monastery that is one of Hungary's oldest centers of learning and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Restoration workers are removing about 100,000 handbound books from their shelves and carefully placing them in

How to Use Clean Energy Tax Credits Before They Disappear

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. The “one big beautiful bill” that President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4 is set to upend many aspects of American life, including climate policy. The law, which Republicans backed en masse, not only derails the nation’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it could also strike a blow to consumers’ pocketbooks. From a climate perspective, the legislation’s most significant rollbacks are aimed

Bitcoin achieved a new all-time high of $118,900 on Friday after exceeding its previous record, $113,822, on Thursday. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin’s price stands at around $117,400. This is a significant milestone for Bitcoin, as it highlights its resurgence, now higher than its low of around $76,000 in early April. It dropped to nearly $49,000 last August.

At Least 13 People Died by Suicide Amid U.K. Post Office Scandal, Report Says

At least 13 postal workers in Britain died by suicide amid a post office scandal in which about 1,000 postal workers were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and other crimes, according to a report released this week as part of an inquiry into the scandal. Wyn Williams, the retired high court judge who is leading the inquiry, wrote in the report, published on Tuesday, that by his estimation, more than 10,000 people were eligible for some kind of redress and that he expected that number to grow.

Is Gemini 2.5 good at bounding boxes?

Is Gemini 2.5 good at bounding boxes? Sort of... July 10, 2025 TL;DR Gemini 2.5 Pro is a decent object detector, matching Yolo V3 from 2018 on MS-COCO val. Multimodal Large Language Models keep getting better, but are they ready to dethrone CNNs in computer vision tasks like object detection? The allure of skipping dataset collection, annotation, and training is too enticing not to waste a few evenings testing. I decided to write a small benchmark and check Gemini 2.5 on MS-COCO, focusing on

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 looks amazing, but I’m not buying it for one simple reason

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is official, and I have to admit: it looks phenomenal. I’ve dabbled with Samsung’s folding phones here and there as part of my job, but for one reason or another, I’ve never been compelled to buy one myself, either because of unwieldy designs, underwhelming cameras, or something else. Looking at the Z Fold 7, however, Samsung has checked just about every box for what I want in a folding phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is dramatically th

Cameo’s birthday reminder app, Candl, is a weak attempt at a comeback

Around this time last year, Cameo hit a significant low point. Its valuation dropped by at least 90%, and the company’s dire financial situation meant it was unable to pay a $600,000 fine from the FTC. Now, the company behind the celebrity greeting app is exploring a new, albeit somewhat dull, avenue for growth. On Thursday, Cameo announced the launch of Candl, a birthday planning app designed for forgetful users who want to celebrate their friends’ birthdays without being late to the party. I

You can own the GameStop stapler that broke Nintendo Switch 2 consoles

GameStop has been specializing in making pretty wacky headlines in recent years, and its latest follows in that grand tradition. After employees at the retailer stapled Switch 2 receipts to boxes in a way that punctured some of the consoles' screens , the company promised that it would "make things right" for those customers. In addition to giving replacement Switch 2s to those people, GameStop has decided to turn the whole viral event into a publicity stunt for charity. Today, it posted on X th

Student Loan Repayment Plans Will Last as Long as Most Mortgages. How Much the New Budget Bill Will Cost You

The Republican-led policy bill cuts repayment plans to two options for future borrowers. Getty Images/Zooey Liao/CNET The Republican-led "One Big Beautiful Bill" was signed into law by President Donald Trump last week, which will result in major changes to student loans, including fewer repayment options, caps on borrowing and new rules for Pell Grants.

Bitcoin Bought in 2011 Suddenly Springs to Life After 13 Million Percent Increase In Value

Two Bitcoin wallets that remained untouched for more than a decade just sprang back to life — and whoever owns them is now filthy rich in crypto. As MarketWatch reports, each Bitcoin was worth just 78 cents back when the unknown buyer purchased 20,000 tokens in 2011 for just under $16,000. Due to the digital currency's inexorable rise over the subsequent years, the extremely patient owner of the two "Sleeping Beauty" wallets where the Bitcoin was stored now holds more than $2 billion worth — a

Chasing Lost Languages

If humans have been talking for 200,000 years—for most of our species’ existence, that is—then an estimated half a million languages might have been spoken in all. To put that number in perspective, around 7,000 languages are spoken today. And because writing was only invented about 5,000 years ago, the vast majority of those half a million languages are lost to us, having been spoken in a preliterate world and died before they could be recorded. That’s half a million distinct systems of knowled
