When it first went on sale, the Tesla Model S was in a league of its own -- but now the competition is heating up. Porsche notably entered the segment with the Taycan, Mercedes-Benz is planning a competitor called EQS, and most of Tesla's rivals are putting a strong focus on performance.
Not one to be outdone, Tesla fired back this week by releasing the Plaid model it has talked about for years. Pegged at the top of the Model S range, it receives three electric motors that join forces to zap the four wheels with 1,020 horsepower. Tesla quotes a 1.99-second sprint from zero to 60 mph, which is shockingly quick, a top speed of 200 mph, and up to 390 miles of driving range. |

Competitive gaming can be, well, pretty darn competitive. Requiring instantaneous reactions and massive amounts of concentration, it can be a mentally taxing endeavor as players endure all the highs and lows that come with high-level competition. Could brain training help improve the necessary mental fitness, focus, and stress management that gamers need to help them (quite literally) up their game?
That's the question posed by MindRove, a company headed up by Ph.D. neuroscientist Gergely Márton. MindRove has developed a new "brain-training wearable" accessory called NeuroLeet that it claims can turn any gaming headset into an EEG (electroencephalogram)-based brain-sensing device. |

The ongoing GPU shortage has created a gray market boom for scalpers, who have collectively raked in more than $15.2 million in profit, according to the latest analysis. By analyzing sales on eBay and StockX, data engineer Michael Driscoll estimated that scalpers have sold approximately 50,000 Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000 series cards for a total of more than $61.5 million in sales.
Driscoll reported that the cards generating the most sales volume on eBay were the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 flagship and the midrange RTX 3070 — with a combined volume of 25,750 units sold — but the pricey $1,499 RTX 3090 wasn't too far behind at 7,775 units. Similarly, on StockX, the top card sold was the RTX 3070, followed closely by the 3080. In total, Driscoll tracked 49,680 cards that have been sold. |
