Mercedes-Benz’s Vision EQXX spent 14.5 hours on the road, hitting 747 miles on the odometer before needing a recharge. That puts it hundreds of miles ahead of current EVs on the market, including the popular Tesla Model S, which maxes out at 405 miles on a full battery. There’s a big caveat to the news, however, as the Vision EQXX isn’t a production vehicle. Consumers won’t be able to get their hands on the long-range model, and experts don’t expect we’ll see this type of performance in a production car anytime soon....
Create the Layers to Work With Let the Color Show Through A layer mask lets you erase parts of a layer by painting on the mask. White reveals the layer, black blocks it completely, and shades of gray partially reveal it. Because the mask is currently all white, the entire grayscale layer is being revealed. You’re going to block the grayscale layer, and reveal the color from the background layer by painting on the layer mask with black....
Overall Findings Polygon mesh renders 3-dimensional items on the computer. Because of this, it is the format used by STL files for 3D printing. When using triangles to create 3D shapes, you create approximations of smooth edges. You will never achieve the perfect smoothness of an image initially created in NURBS, but the mesh is easier to model. You can push and pull on the mesh to move it and achieve the same results each time because it is not calculating mathematical averages of points....
If exploited successfully through the execution of code on a victim’s device, the new security vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2021-34481, could allow an attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges through a vulnerability in the Print Spooler service—potentially changing or deleting the victim’s data, installing new programs, or creating new user accounts with full access to the user’s system. The new exploit comes on the heels of the recent PrintNightmare security vulnerability, which also exploited Microsoft’s Print Spooler service, allowing attackers to gain remote system privileges on victims’ systems....
What Is an MKV File? A file with the .MKV file extension is a Matroska video file. It’s a video container much like MOV and AVI, but also supports an unlimited number of audio, picture, and subtitle tracks (like SRT or USF). This format is often seen as the carrier for high-definition online video because it supports descriptions, ratings, cover art, and even chapter points—which is why MKV was chosen as the default video container format for the popular DivX Plus software....
How Do I Check My Motherboard Drivers? Motherboard drivers are sometimes called system drivers or chipset drivers, but they’re all the same. The specific file name for individual drivers will differ depending on the manufacturer, model they’re designed for, and the version number of that particular driver. If you have an Intel-based laptop or desktop, you can find your motherboard driver version by following these steps: AMD-based PCs and laptops don’t make it as easy to check your motherboard drivers....
The Motorola One 5G Ace is a more affordable version of the Motorola One 5G that launched in late 2020. The killer feature is 5G connectivity, and it also brings a massive 5,000mAh battery to the table. Some of the specs line up with its predecessor, while the build quality, processor, and a few other areas took hits to meet a more affordable price point. This is the cheapest 5G phone Motorola has ever offered, and it’s the path of least resistance if your only goal is to grab ahold of that 5G ring without shelling out for a much more expensive handset....
The Motorola Tech3 headphones are possibly the most unique offering in the true wireless space. That’s because, in actuality, calling these headphones “true wireless” is not capturing what they actually are. In addition to truly wireless functionality, Motorola has managed to give you both the option for a “sport wire” to use the headphones like a standard pair of wired Bluetooth earbuds, and you can even connect a second wire to give you a plug-in pair of earbuds....
Back in April, Muse Group acquired Audacity, a free and open-source audio recording software. Earlier this week, an update to the privacy policy for the application led to claims that the software now acted as spyware for the company. Now, Muse Group has officially responded, according to MusicRadar, saying that the spyware claims are simply a result of “unclear phrasing.” Updated on July 2, the privacy policy now states that the app collects personal data like the OS version, the user’s country based on IP address, CPU info, non-fatal error codes, and messages....
Some companies are signing onto this idea of using Native American names on maps. The maps are intended to supplement and give context to digital maps like Google Maps and Apple Maps. Advocates say that the effort is long overdue as part of a larger reckoning about the appropriation of Native American terms, including those of sports teams. “Native American place names remind us of the human practices that took place, in the past, in the territories that are controlled by present-day states,” Gustavo Verdesio, an associate professor of Native American Studies at the University of Michigan, said in an email interview....
The online gym will offer specially licensed music and easy scheduling options. Unlike most gyms, Moxie’s founder says it will only take a 15 percent fee from teachers who pay to use the service. The virtual gym is starting up at a time when in-person gyms and trainers are struggling because of the coronavirus pandemic. Traditional gyms went from a multibillion industry before COVID-19 hit “to zero just overnight,” Moxie Founder and CEO Jason Goldberg said in a video interview....
Spotted by @Futur3Sn0w on Twitter, notifications in landscape mode will now display in the center of the screen instead of taking up the entire width. While some may view this visual change as an improvement, it limits the number of Smart Replies you see under incoming messages, according to 9to5Google. Introduced in 2018, the Smart Reply feature uses artificial intelligence to suggest responses based on your recent messages. If you tap on one, it’s automatically sent to the other person....
OnePlus is known for making cheaper alternatives to robust flagship phones, even if the “budget flagship” tag doesn’t really apply anymore to its most recent top-tier models. But the OnePlus Nord N100 is something different: the least-expensive phone OnePlus has ever made by a solid margin, and a legitimate budget phone at a mere $180. Even so, have you seen a sub-$200 phone with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate? Even some much pricier phones, like the iPhone 12, don’t pack that feature....
PCB Troubleshooting Printed circuit boards, or PCBs, are a mass of insulators and copper traces that connect densely packed components to create a modern circuit. Troubleshooting PCBs is often a challenge, with factors such as size, number of layers, signal analysis, and types of components playing a large role. Some more complicated boards require specialized equipment to properly troubleshoot. However, most troubleshooting can be done with basic electronic equipment to follow traces, currents, and signals through the circuit....
Pixel 6 Release Date Google made an official announcement on August 2, 2021, confirming rumors that we’d see both a regular Pixel 6 and a Pixel 6 Pro. After a cryptic “coming later this year” tweet in early August, the company finally confirmed the new phone at the October 19, 2021, Pixel Fall Launch event. The 2021 Pixel was available for pre-orders after the unveiling event. Online and in-store orders began October 28....

Apple recently announced that end-to-end encryption is coming to even more sensitive types of iCloud data, including device backups, messages, and photos. The move is being hailed by privacy advocates who say it will keep online information safer. But the FBI has reportedly said the enhanced encryption could jeopardize its ability to catch criminals. “In certain situations, when users opt-in to the service, Apple will no longer hold the key to unlock any data,” Matt Howard, the senior vice president of the cybersecurity firm Virtru, told Lifewire in an email interview....
