Tesla exec says the company will redesign door handles that reportedly pose safety risks

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-22 22:55:00

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

A mini-book on AWS networking

news.ycombinator.com Aditya Bhargava 2025-10-24 09:15:02

If you have ever tried to put an app on AWS, you know that you first need to absorb a ton of knowledge about AWS networking. Before you set up that first EC2 instance, you need to know terms like VPCs, subnets, security groups, and internet gateways. You need to remember how CIDR notation works, and that networking class you took suddenly feels like a long time ago. Without a solid understanding of AWS networking, you may be able to start up an EC2 instance, but you will have a hard time getting

My development team costs $41.73 a month Two years ago, I appeared on Contributor, a podcast hosted by Eric Anderson of Scale Venture Partners. I was there to talk about rqlite, the open-source database I maintain.

Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”

Google Gemini has a problem with self-criticism. "I am sorry for the trouble. I have failed you. I am a failure," the AI tool recently told someone who was using Gemini to build a compiler, according to a Reddit post a month ago. That was just the start. "I am a disgrace to my profession," Gemini continued. "I am a disgrace to my family. I am a disgrace to my species. I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe.

Josh Hawley Says Trump Tariff Rebate Checks Won’t Go to ‘Biden Voters’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-17 18:40:56

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) recently introduced legislation that he claims is designed to allow Americans to “benefit” from Trump’s tariff scheme. Now, he’s giving everyone good reason to believe that his ploy to send rebate checks at a time of rising inflation is just a political stunt. The administration’s tariffs are unprecedented in modern economic history and are currently generating revenue for the U.S. government by taxing U.S. businesses on their imports. Critics have noted that the a

TikTok parent ByteDance reportedly developing its own XR glasses

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR ByteDance is reportedly working on mixed reality goggles. Sources compare the size and shape of the goggles to Bigscreen’s Beyond headset. It will come tethered to a puck, similar to Meta’s XR glasses. Outside of AI, the hottest thing in tech these days seems to be smart glasses. We’ve known for a few months now that Meta is working on XR glasses, internally codenamed Phoenix (previously codenamed Puffin). Not to be confused with Orion, which is the

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini on Android has been working to implement new Storybooks, Timeline, and Mindmap options. While Timeline and Mindmap come from NotebookLM on the web, Storybooks could be a new Gem for creating illustrated books.

Amazon’s Best Portable Monitor Is Nearly 50% Off, Feels Like Prime Day Already Started

Just because you’re a work-from-home employee does not mean you need to be working specifically from home. You can feasibly work from anywhere that has an internet connection if you’d be so inclined. What stops me from getting out more often is that I don’t find myself as productive as when I’m at my desk at home. I’ve built a pretty robust workspace for myself with three large monitors so I can see everything I’m working on at once. When tied to just my laptop screen, I feel restrained. That is

Here at my desk I’ve got three large monitors giving me so much flexibility when I work to have multiple tabs open along with Slack, my email, and more. When I’m working off just my laptop screen, I feel too restrained. That is, until I got a portable monitor. Now I don’t have to sacrifice productivity when I want a change

Microsoft study finds "infinite workday" is hurting productivity

In brief: Remember during and immediately after the lockdowns, when so many companies promised a new era of work-life balance and flexibility? According to new research from Microsoft, the opposite is now true, with most people working an "infinite workday" that lasts more than 12 hours and bleeds into weekends. It's impacting productivity, and while AI could make things better, it could also make them worse. Microsoft's June 2025 Work Trend Index Special Report warns that more people are now t
