Tesla Dealership in Oregon Gets Shot Up, Drawing FBI Scrutiny

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-07-06 16:50:02

The FBI and local police are investigating after gunshots shattered windows at a Tesla dealership in Oregon on Wednesday morning—the latest potential sign that Tesla’s CEO, billionaire-turned-“bureaucrat” Elon Musk, is stirring discontent throughout the nation. The dealership, which is located in the state’s capital city of Salem, was struck by gunfire and a car was lit on fire. Police at the scene said they were investigating arson and vandalism crimes. The same dealership was apparently the s

U.S. Government Removing EV Chargers From All Federal Buildings Because They Are ‘Not Mission-Critical’

gizmodo.com Thomas Maxwell 2025-07-06 17:05:44

As part of its continued efforts to own the libs, or get rid of anything President Trump does not like or understand, the General Services Administration is gearing up to remove electric chargers from all federal properties nationwide. The agency says the hundreds of chargers and estimated 8,000 plugs available for federal workers to charge their cars are “not mission critical.” The agency, which manages buildings owned by the federal government as well as vehicles, will also offload any EVs pur

Somehow, This Han Solo JPG Is Still Worth $120

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-06 17:35:14

Ten years ago, I wrote an article for this site called “How the Hell Is This JPG of Han Solo Worth $225?” The article was about a new app from the card company Topps called Star Wars Card Trader in which fans could open packs and trade digital cards from a galaxy far, far away. At the time, it was novel and weird. This was before NFTs were a thing. Before most people had even heard of crypto.

The Avatar Cycle, Explained

The Avatar franchise’s titular hero is defined by more than just their ability to wield the abilities of all four elements; beyond their martial and spiritual prowess is a transcendental link to previous inheritors of the mantle stretching across thousands of years of history. But as we prepare for the news of a new Avatar show—and with it, the next incarnation of the Avatar—we’ve learned that they’re going to be facing a very different world and reputation, as well as a ramification that has ch

The most recent James Bond movie, No Time to Die, had an ending unlike any its predecessors and opened the way to a whole new approach to the cinematic powerhouse — including, at some point soon, a new James Bond. The film wrapped up Daniel Craig's days as 007, and speculation is running hot about what lies ahead for Ian Fleming's superspy.

Apple Vision Pro Headset Gets Overdue Missing Features, Including Apple Intelligence

Apple's futuristic Vision Pro headset hit the one-year mark, but during that initial year, it still felt like it was missing some key features. Now, Apple is addressing a few of those features, at least in small steps, with VisionOS 2.4. Apple Intelligence is finally arriving on Vision Pro, along with some connected apps and guest mode features for iPhones and iPads. The new OS update can be tested in a developer beta arriving today, but the official OS update isn't coming until April. I've bee

Microsoft's Magma AI Can Manipulate and Control Robots

Microsoft just introduced Magma, a new artificial intelligence model designed to help robots see, understand and act more intelligently. Unlike traditional AI models, Magma processes different types of data all at once -- an effort Microsoft is calling a big leap toward "agentic AI," or systems that can plan and execute tasks on a user's behalf. The model, which uses a combination of vision and language processing, is trained on videos, images, robotics data and interface interactions so as to

Theragun Alternatives: Best Budget Massage Guns for 2025

Like Therabody, Hyperice is a premium brand with prices to match. And speaking of matching, the Hypervolt Go sells for around the same price as the Theragun Mini. But I like the former more, in part because it comes with two heads instead of one massage gun head and has a more comfortable gun-style design. It's a compact massage gun when compared to the likes of the MaxKare and Taotronics models, but also larger than the Naipo and Recoverfun. So let's call it "medium." But, wow, is it powerful

The 'E' in iPhone 16E Might As Well Stand for Expensive

Apple has unveiled its newest phone, the iPhone 16E, and promptly removed its budget iPhone SE (2022) from its online store. While that suggests Apple sees its new phone as a follow-up to its only affordable option, its $600 price tag means it's more of a discounted premium handset than a true budget pick.

As the Kernel Turns: Rust in Linux saga reaches the “Linus in all-caps” phase

Rust, a modern and notably more memory-safe language than C, once seemed like it was on a steady, calm, and gradual approach into the Linux kernel. In 2021, Linux kernel leaders, like founder and leader Linus Torvalds himself, were impressed with the language but had a "wait and see" approach. Rust for Linux gained supporters and momentum, and in October 2022, Torvalds approved a pull request adding support for Rust code in the kernel.

“Bouncing” winds damaged Houston skyscrapers in 2024

On May 16, 2024, a powerful derecho swept through Houston, killing seven people and causing significant damage to several of the city's towering skyscrapers. Those buildings were constructed to withstand much stronger hurricane-force winds up to 67 meters per second, as one would get with a Category 4 hurricane. The derecho's winds peaked at 40 meters per second, well below that threshold. And when Hurricane Beryl hit Houston that July with roughly comparable wind speeds of 36 meters per second,

While that sounds like science fiction, a team of Chinese researchers has identified a chemical that can deliver fresh lithium to well-used batteries
