    Clever hybrid tech impresses with 40 mpg 2023 Honda CR-V Sport

    Aren't turbines the most efficient power plants we have? Why not design one the size of a lunchpail and have it run continuously (as needed I guess) to charge a vehicle with this type of hybrid powertrain. I've been asking "why not turbines" for a decade at least.

    AI plus MRI yields the ability to recognize what the mind is hearing

    Wonder how much of a boon this could be to diagnosing brain disorders like ADHD for instance. And for checking what medicines work to counter it or work for the individual.

    F1 wants to ban tire heaters—here’s why that’s a good idea

    Watched F1 for many years. Getting tired of the tracks where the race result is decided in qualifying. The races turn into nothing but a long procession. (i'm looking at you Monaco.) Yeah I know , history, blah blah blah. Don't care anymore. Find some decent tracks to race on instead of just...

    Buttons are back at Porsche as we see the 2024 Cayenne interior

    I can't for the life of me figure out how it's illegal to look at your phone while driving but it's legal to hunt for your air-conditioning on those goddamn touch screens. It's as bad as your phone or possibly even worse.

    Kinda surprised the US military isn't all over this or the US hasn't nationalised this is the name of 'National Security'. Or maybe they have. Or maybe they have something far better..... Hmmm think about that.

    Congressman confronts FBI over “egregious” unlawful search of his personal data

    This is the answer that ALL public persons or institutions give. Every,Fucking.Time. The real question is "When are the general public actually going to give a shit and DEMAND changes and DEMAND accountability?" If mostly nobody gives a shit then is it really a problem? The curse of our...

    Ryzen 7950X3D review: An expensive but incredibly efficient 16-core CPU

    Just bought a new AMD system. Went with AMD because of future proofing (PCIe 5, DDR5 and socket support) as the current Intel socket is a dead end. Five years down the road all I have to do for a refresh is buy a newer CPU and I'll get another 5 years out of it. My last comp was a Intel 3750k...

    Moderna CEO says private investors funded COVID vaccine—not billions from gov’t

    What's it gonna do, drive right through my garage door? Manually enable the ignition from the kill switch I put in? This is farce and easily overcome but it's just another hassle to deal with. Wonder when I"ll have to start renting my steering wheel ffs. I don't want a wireless connectible car...

    West Virginia likes teaching intelligent design, Florida against theories

    Some of the stupidest states move to get even stupider. Shocked, just shocked. We are witnessing the slow decline to eventual irrelevance right before our eyes!

    ChatGPT on your PC? Meta unveils new AI model that can run on a single GPU

    A lot of it has to do with experience in life. Many of us are old enough to have seen many 'great and wondrous things' that will change or benefit humanity and looked forward to it, only to see it fall far short of expectations for various (or nefarious) reasons. I'm reading ARS on one of those...

    The Lucid Air Grand Touring is a startup’s take on a great luxury EV

    Lol! I think you meant 'mild weather'. Where I live the windows get so cold (down to -40C outside) you can feel the cold rolling off them and don't want to touch them, sun or no sun. Glass roof on the Edge. Sun always shines over your glasses and into your eyes....I can cover it for the most...
