For years, Elon Musk has been making big promises to Tesla owners about unsupervised autonomous driving and the ability to add their own vehicles to the company's robotaxi fleet. During today's third-quarter earnings call, the company finally gave itself a deadline. According to Tesla VP for Autonomous Driving Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla owners will be able to add their own vehicles to the company's robotaxi fleet in the second quarter of 2027. Here's his exact quote (emphasis ours):Like I mentioned earlier, the software for Cybercabs and Model Y is the same. And pretty soon we'll be able to release the same software as part of the V15 relea …Read the full story at The Verge.

When you set up a high-end router in a suburban neighborhood or apartment building, you might find that your 5GHz network is choking on overlapping channels while half the spectrum sits completely dormant. Out of the box, most consumer routers restrict themselves to the lower non-DFS 5GHz channels to avoid regulatory fines or interference with weather radar and military frequencies. By leaving dynamic frequency selection disabled, you are voluntarily fighting for scraps in a crowded four-channel pool. Unlocking DFS channels opens up a massive interference-free superhighway that gives your Wi-Fi network room to breathe.

A thin client is the least exciting device for a normal user. It's something you only see in college and school labs, or workplaces that need a just-enough usable computer to run a bunch of software. In contrast, a mini PC feels more exciting because it has a fairly diverse use case. You can pick entry-level devices with Intel N100 and N150 chips, or go with something more powerful like a six/eight-core CPU and a discrete GPU. For home servers or just as an additional computer, the entry-level mini PCs are more suitable.

Game preservation has an uncomfortable problem. Many of the games worth saving are the hardest to access. Either publishers stopped selling them years ago, or the original console is too hard to maintain. With digital storefronts shutting down and games getting delisted on a whim, emulation often remains the most practical way to keep old titles alive.

Actors Taye Diggs, Autumn Federici, Gary Entin, Troy Brookins, Edmund Entin and Eric Guilmette attend the world premiere of Microhouse Films and Lifetime's Reunion Island during the ALZA Festival. | Getty Images for Lifetime.

A rush of new data centers could bring air pollution roaring back to levels not seen since the 2000s in Texas, which has become ground zero for the physical infrastructure behind generative AI.New and proposed data centers are demanding a tremendous amount of electricity. How developers and utilities meet that demand - with gas turbines or renewable energy - will determine just how dirty things will get. So far, though, things are looking grim.Tech companies and data center developers are devising new ways to get enough electricity, including building out their own power sources. But if all planned data center projects were to plug into …Read the full story at The Verge.

Most AI-generated files end up living somewhere completely different from where they were created. A chatbot can draft your task list or spec sheet, then you put it in a Google Doc, owned by a completely different company. Wherever you put the notes, that doc ends up with no idea about the conversation behind it. Then Anthropic launched its own editor inside Claude in September, which completely cuts out the middleman between AI synthesis and note-taking. I've been using it in regular chats and in Claude Code, and I think it might have started replacing Google Docs for me.
