WTF?! If you’re considering buying a used Tesla with driver assistance features, make sure to check they’re still present after purchase. According to a new report, a person who bought a second-hand Model S 75D found the Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self Driving (FSD) had been removed remotely by Tesla as part of a software update.

Jalopnik details the case of a consumer who purchased a 2017 Tesla Model S on December 20 of last year from a third-

Why it matters: The Indian subcontinent is home to several densely populated metropolises, where the traffic is driven by a slightly different car horn culture than the rest of the world. While the standard practice is to honk in case of an emergency, warning a fellow driver or expressing frustration, people in this part of the world are a bit more extravagant in their use and rely on the car horn to convey a multitude of indecipherable emotions. This not only makes for a more chaotic driving experience but also results in harmful noise

Why it matters: Advancing technology means smartphones are getting faster and more powerful all the time. The next big upgrade for flagship devices is LPDDR5 DRAM, which Micron has announced is in mass production and shipping to customers. The first phone to use the chips will be Xiaomi’s Mi 10, and the memory is also expected to appear in Samsung’s Galaxy S20.

In brief: Huawei is mostly known for its mobile products and telecom equipment, but its HiSilicon subsidiary produces chips that end up in many IoT products, including surveillance systems. A Russian researcher found that most of the companies that use HiSilicon chips use firmware that makes it trivial to take complete control of millions of devices that are currently in use around the world.

Back in December, Huawei said it had reached record revenues of $122 billion, even as the US greatly restricted its ability to do business with American

What just happened? Microsoft has put its hardware and Windows Experience teams under a new single 'Device + Windows' unit that'll be led by Panos Panay, the current chief product officer. With Windows Client under his supervision, Panay will take over from Joe Belfiore, Microsoft's corporate vice president, who'll be moving to the company's Office group when the restructuring goes into effect on February 25.

In brief: Twitch is an excellent platform for streaming games, but the technology behind it could soon be used for other purposes. New reports claim that the platform's owner, Amazon, may license Twitch's live-streaming tech out to other corporations, no matter which industry they're in.

This may come as a surprise, given how strongly Twitch's brand is associated with gaming, but it's far from a terrible idea on Amazon's part. Twitch was one of the trailblazers

Why it matters: The Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 are set to arrive this holiday season, but disruption caused by the coronavirus could see the consoles delayed, according to an investment bank report. The outbreak has been impacting much of the tech industry, with Nintendo announcing that Switch production and shipments will be delayed in Japan.

The coronavirus has resulted in several manufacturing giants in China, including Foxconn, face disruption as they quarantine employees, ask some to work from home, or temporarily shut down plants. In a recent

Highly ambitious: I have always found it fascinating when people cleverly use an app in a way that it was not originally intended to be used. It's even better when the results are nearly as impressive as the software used to create it. One such creation is a DAW made from nothing more than an Excel spreadsheet.

YouTube musician Dylan Tallchief has created a digital audio workstation (DAW) using Microsoft Excel called xlStudio. DAWs allow musicians to compose and arrange music in a visual way; examples include FL Studio and
