In a nutshell: At Tesla's recent Battery Day event, CEO Elon Musk made several important announcements regarding future battery technologies and manufacturing techniques for its EVs. He also revealed specs of the upcoming Model S 'Plaid,' the new tri-motor powertrain for Tesla's 4-door saloon that's been undergoing testing for the past several months and is now available to order. While this variant's price tag and delivery schedule will require some very deep pockets and patience, Elon also shared that a

Why it matters: Are you a fan of Lego? Do you want an RTX 3090? Have you got a lot of money? If the answer to all three is yes, then Galax’s GeForce RTX 3090 Gamer Edition graphics card could be for you. The aftermarket card takes Nvidia’s upcoming gaming monster and wraps it in a design heavily inspired by the Danish company’s small plastic bricks.

Galax has a history of producing unconventional graphic cards. Earlier this year, it

Facepalm: Imagine if you’re expecting a shiny new Xbox Series X but receive an Xbox One X instead. It’s a scenario some people are facing after the current-gen console shot up Amazon’s sales ranking charts yesterday—the same day XSX pre-orders went live.

To absolutely nobody’s surprise, the Xbox Series X followed the same path as the PS5 and RTX 3080 yesterday as the rush to secure pre-orders caused sites to crash. Microsoft’s machine

Why it matters: Razer is one of the most well-known figures in the gaming peripheral market. They make headsets, mice, keyboards (mechanical or otherwise), cord management tools, mouse mats, and much more. Today, their product line-up expanded considerably: Razer has released wireless versions of several of its most popular products.

Now, you can buy "HyperSpeed" wireless versions of Razer's ever-popular DeathAdder V2 mouse (which we've featured in "Best Of" lists

Something to look forward to: Microsoft expects that most people will return to workplaces later this year, even as many organizations plan to downsize their floor space. The company believes a larger Surface-branded digital whiteboard will ease that transition and help with the social distancing requirements.

Last year, Microsoft came up with the slimmest and lightest device in the Surface Hub family, the Surface Hub 2S . It was a 50-inch, 4K, multitouch PixelSense display hooked to internals that are able to provide 50

What just happened? Microsoft started taking pre-orders for the Xbox Series X|S late Tuesday morning, and like Sony, most retailers depleted their initial allotments within hours. Unlike Sony, stores did wait until Microsoft gave them the green light, but users still struggled to get orders placed in time.

Part of the problem was that Microsoft let users know precisely when pre-orders would go live. Customers anxious to get the next-gen console ended up bottlenecking purchasing pages triggering DDoS countermeasures. In other instances,

In context: Although it isn't perfect, Microsoft's new and improved Edge browser is certainly a significant improvement over its far less popular predecessor. The Chromium-powered browser is now a genuine alternative to Chrome and Firefox, but only on Windows and Mac. Linux users have largely been left out of the loop -- until now, that is.

Come next month, Microsoft Edge will finally arrive on Linux, in the form of a developer preview build . Since it won't be a full release

Bottom line: Devs that don’t use Chrome Web Store payments to monetize their extension(s) will not be affected. For those who will be impacted by the change, Google recommends migrating to another payments processor. Fortunately, there are plenty of options so finding a suitable replacement shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Developers will need to find a new way to monetize their Chrome Web Store extensions as Google has decided to permanently end the program.

If you recall, the search giant earlier this year

Facepalm: Thanks to Apple policies, customers never have to worry about paying to fix an Apple product if it was misconfigured. Simply send it back, and the company will reconfigure it. Unfortunately, this policy dictates that all common sense be tossed out the window for detachable components, as Apple Watch users are finding out with their mismeasured Solo Loop bands.

Along with the Apple Watch Series 6, Apple introduced a new watch band called the Solo Loop. It has no clasp and is instead made from an elastic polymer,
