Angry Nerd: Enough With Technology That ‘Democratizes’ Things!

The operations overlords of WIRED make me use Airtable. It's a hip workflow tracker, with pretty color coding and copious tabs and a “robust” API that syncs with Slack. It's also, apparently, a superhero. The Captain America of spreadsheets. Airtable isn't just a shinier version of Excel—it's on a self-professed mission to “democratize software creation…

Bollinger’s badass EV utility trucks arrive in 2021

Unfortunately, that huge battery pack also translates into exceedingly long charging times. Even with a Level 2 (240V) charger, you're looking at a good 8 - 10 hours to fully replenish the system. However if you can get access to a Level 3 commercial charger, you can completely refill the Bollinger's batteries in just 75…

Valve has made me believe in Half-Life again

It wouldn't be Valve if there wasn't some sort of catch, though. As many predicted, Alyx doesn't pick up where Episode Two left off. Instead, it's a Half-Life 2 prequel, which means there's still no end in sight to the story that Valve was telling between 2004 and 2007.Like anyone who's been following this franchise…

I rode inside Tesla’s polarizing Cybertruck

A few hours (yes, hours) after Musk left the stage, I was able to sit, very briefly, in the giant metal series of trapezoids cobbled together, known as the Cybertruck. It's a very early pre-production vehicle, but my first reaction was, "this is a very comfortable back seat." It was more comfortable than the pre-production…

A Physics Analysis of Tesla’s Shattered Cybertruck Windows

I don't know what to think about Elon Musk anymore. I mean the SpaceX stuff is awesome, and the Tesla car has been pretty cool. But now we have the Tesla pickup truck, unveiled on Thursday. (Simone Giertz did it first!) The Tesla Cybertruck looks odd—one person likened it to a futuristic doorstop—but that's fine…
