Nuked Hey there tech lovers! Today we are talking about Tuesday’s top tech news.
Lightyear’s buzz fizzles as the electric vehicle company announced that it’s halting production of its €250,000 Lightyear 0, in order to focus on the sub-$40,000 Lightyear 2 coming in 2025. This isn’t great news for the fledgling startup, but it’s not all bad either.
Bloomberg has shed new light on Apple’s long-rumored AR / VR headset, which is expected to launch this spring. While it’s expected to be packed with premium technology, it won’t come cheap; the headset is expected to cost around $3,000. If you’re looking for something more affordable and current, the Meta Quest 2 now uses more advanced hand-tracking software by default.
Tesla has just announced a $3.6 billion Nevada investment which includes a’high-volume’ Semi factory, a new battery cell factory, and more employees. Lyft has also just announced that they will start charging wait time fees if you make a driver wait more than two minutes after their arrival.
Google is being sued by the US government and eight states over online advertising, and has also shut down a spam backdoor for political campaigns. Apple also issued a security update for the almost 10-year-old iPhone 5S and HomePod Mini users can now access temperature and humidity sensors.
Finally, people seem to really love HBO’s The Last of Us so far, Amazon launched a $5 monthly subscription for unlimited prescription medications, Polestar 2 gets a facelift and Microsoft Edge will soon let you split two tabs in a single window.
