Tesla, constructeur automobile spécialisé dans l’électrique a été fondée en 2003. L’entreprise créée par Ebherhard et reprise par Elon Musk en 2008 fait sensation lorsque la Tesla roadster première du nom est présentée au public en 2006. Elle constituait les prémices de la voiture électrique haute performance, bien qu’elle ait été développée en partenariat avec Lotus qui lui avait fourni la base d’une Elise de l’époque. Mais c’est véritablement avec la Model S commercialisée dès 2012 que l’entreprise connait une véritable percée sur le marché automobile. Même si Toyota avait auparavant enregistrée elle aussi de grandes avancées au rayon véhicules électriques, la Tesla se veut haut de gamme, avec un intérieur entièrement connecté grâce à la gigantesque tablette tactile qui orne la planche de bord. Les performances de haute volée contribuent à la notoriété du véhicule qui commence à s’exporter dans le monde entier, malgré le peu de bornes de recharges à l’époque. Déclinée en plusieurs … [Read more...] about Les meilleures Tesla de 2022 : optez pour le luxe

Hawley: People Who Care About January 6 the Same Who Gave Us $6 a Gallon for Gas
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) appeared on FNC’s “Hannity” on Thursday and criticized Democrats’ strategy heading into this year’s midterm elections. According to the Missouri Republican, betting on the January 6 hearings and the recent Supreme Court decisions was not going to work. “Will their strategy of running on January 6, Roe v. Wade being overturned, the Second Amendment, is that — is that going to be successful in any way to gin up their base, motivate their base?” Hannity said. “No, because they’re talking about issues that only they care about that nobody else cares about,” Hawley replied. “That doesn’t affect the lives of real people or that they’re wrong on. I mean, take abortion again. What are you going to say to people? No, you shouldn’t have a choice in what your laws are in your own state? That’s what they’re telling people. January 6, the only people who care about January 6 are the Democrats in Washington, D.C. These are the same people who have given us five … [Read more...] about Hawley: People Who Care About January 6 the Same Who Gave Us $6 a Gallon for Gas
Asus and Gigabyte predict motherboard sales will fall 25% this year as GPU bundles lose appeal
In a nutshell: Graphics card prices and availability finally returning to (somewhat) normal levels is excellent news for consumers, but motherboard manufacturers are unlikely to be as pleased. Asus and Gigabyte, who combined make up 70% of the mobo market, have warned that they expect sales to fall by around 25% compared to last year. And it seems much of the decline is due to people not needing to buy a new motherboard just to get the bundled GPU. According to DigiTimes (via Tom's Hardware ), Taiwan PC industry sources say the two big motherboard—and other hardware—makers are expecting the market to shrink by around a quarter this year compared to 2021. It's a prediction already seen in the Q2 2022 shipment figures, which experienced a larger-than-expected reduction.

Technoblade, a popular Minecraft YouTuber, dies from cancer age 23 — shares final video
Technoblade, a popular Minecraft YouTuber, has died from cancer age 23. In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel titled “so long nerds” and narrated by his father, Technoblade thanked his fans and fellow streamers for their support over the years, and revealed that his real name was Alex. (He’d “accidentally” let slip he was called Dave in an earlier video.) “Hello everyone, Technoblade here. If you’re watching this, I am dead,” he says. “Thank you all for supporting my content over the years. If I had another 100 lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time, as those were the happiest years of my life.” In the video, Technoblade apologizes for “selling out so much in the past year” by offering merchandise, but notes that, as a result, his siblings will be able to go to college. “Well, if they want to,” he adds. “I don’t want to put any dead brother peer pressure on them.” Technoblade’s father describes how the two discussed making a final … [Read more...] about Technoblade, a popular Minecraft YouTuber, dies from cancer age 23 — shares final video
Amazon restricts LGBTQ searches and products in the United Arab Emirates
Amazon has restricted search results and inventory related to LGBTQ topics in the United Arab Emirates after being pressured to do so by the government, reports The New York Times . Same-sex relationships and sex acts are illegal in the UAE, and are punishable by fines and imprisonment. A number of books related to LGBTQ topics were removed from sale in the UAE (including Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist and Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer: A Memoir ), and search results have been hidden for more than 150 keywords. These include broad search terms like “lgbtq” and “pride,” as well as targeted queries like “transgender flag” and “chest binder for lesbians.” The Times notes that it’s not clear what penalties Amazon was threatened with by the UAE government before it introduced these restrictions. Nicole Pampe, a spokesperson for Amazon, told the Times : “As a company, we remain committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, and we believe that the rights of L.G.B.T.Q.+ people must … [Read more...] about Amazon restricts LGBTQ searches and products in the United Arab Emirates

US Officials Call TikTok a National Security Threat. Here’s What You Need to Know
TikTok, the popular video app, is again in the crosshairs of US officials, with a high-ranking regulator and a group of lawmakers taking aim at national security concerns the Chinese-owned service may pose. Earlier this week, Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican appointed during former President Donald Trump's administration, revealed that he had asked Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores. The reason: the app collects data from users that poses risk to America's national security. "It is not just an app for sharing funny videos or memes," read Carr's letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. "That's the sheep's clothing." Google declined to comment. Apple didn't respond to a request for comment. Separately, nine Republican US senators, including Roy Blunt of Missouri and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, sent a letter to TikTok expressing concern over a report the company had given officials in Beijing "backdoor … [Read more...] about US Officials Call TikTok a National Security Threat.

3 companies control many big-name VPNs: What you need to know
Let's say you're in the market for a VPN (virtual private network). You're probably looking for some combination of better privacy (from snooping ISPs, advertisers or governments), increased online security (who knows who else is on that public Wi-Fi node?) or even more flexible video streaming options. Unlike mobile operating systems (two main options) or US mobile providers (three basic choices), you might be impressed with the range of VPN providers available to you. At first glance, you'll see at least a dozen options. However, many of the biggest names in the industry today -- and some of CNET's top VPN picks -- are owned by just three parent companies. And those "big three" have gotten even larger in just the past few months, thanks to an increasing wave of VPN consolidation . Pair that with the deliberately opaque and multinational ownership structure of many VPNs and it's becoming even trickier to make sense of which providers are owned or controlled by which parent … [Read more...] about 3 companies control many big-name VPNs: What you need to know
Best Internet Providers in Atlanta
If you're searching for home internet service providers in the Atlanta area, you're most likely coming up with two or three main options. AT&T and Xfinity are widely available, and select neighborhoods have access to Google Fiber . While having more options to choose from would be nice, all three of these are among our top picks for the best internet providers nationwide. If you want more choices, you'll likely have to go wireless. T-Mobile , Verizon and Yomura Air all send internet signals throughout much of Atlanta, but the overall value of each service will depend on the speeds available at your specific address. While other Atlanta ISP options may be available (those are listed further down the page), serviceability is too random, or the service itself too undesirable, to be considered for reliable internet in your area . So which Atlanta ISP is best for your home? That depends on what you're looking for. Fiber internet providers like … [Read more...] about Best Internet Providers in Atlanta
