Tesla’s shareholders have voted in favor of a compensation plan that could see CEO Elon Musk become the world's first trillionaire. The potential incentives were laid out in September, and the company's shareholders have agreed to allow this all-or-nothing package for its chief exec, who spent the first half of this year decimating the US federal government rather than working on any Tesla-adjacent projects. The compensation plan lists several targets... Read more ›

"That's when he noticed it was constantly sending logs and telemetry data to the manufacturer — something he hadn't consented to." The user, Harishankar, decided to block the telemetry servers' IP addresses on his network, while keeping the firmware and OTA servers open. While his smart... Read more ›

"It's been hard for me to understand why Atlas exists," writes MIT Technology Review. " Who is this browser for, exactly? Who is its customer?
