On Saturday Night Live, Elon Musk said "it's all a hustle" about cryptocurrency, and prices dived. Now, Tesla has suddenly become very aware of Bitcoin's energy-inefficient ways and reversed its course on taking payments in it. With the company claiming it's looking for a more climate-friendly cryptocurrency, Musk tweeted Thursday about "potentially promising" efficiency improvements for Dogecoin.
Dogecoin, in case you've forgotten, is the meme-inspired cryptocurrency that Musk has taken a liking to. His other major venture, SpaceX, is going to launch a DOGE-1 cubesat next year, and he's tweeted about it, repeatedly. The dog-faced memecoin is hard to take seriously sometimes, but the reaction to Musk's tweet was serious, with its price going up 25 percent in one day.

Framework's first modular laptop for easy repair is now open for pre-orders. The Framework Laptop is available to order, in four variants.

And each component will carry a QR code that leads you straight to a website offering step-by-step instructions and an iFixit-style video. And users should only need the screwdriver included in the box to carry out any repair.
The only repair that may take longer than 10 minutes is if, or when, you so choose to swap out the CPU and mainboard. You can pick up the base model for just $999, or a DIY — entirely disassembled — version for $749. Continue reading.
If you have managed to pick up a PS5, you might be ready for a second controller, just in time for the loosening of pandemic lockdowns.

Amazon was late to the true wireless earbud game. By the time the company introduced its Echo Buds in 2019, Apple was already on version two, and the AirPods Pro came shortly after. The company learns fast, and its second attempt features true active noise cancellation (ANC), improved audio quality and a redesign. Barring some questionable battery life and mediocre call performance, Amazon impresses. Read on for Billy Steele's full review.
