Meta is crossing the border to build a data center in Alberta, Canada The data center will have a 1GW capacity and cost $9 billion to build It will eventually lead to 300 operational jobs, Meta says Meta has announced its ambition to build a $9 billion datacenter in Alberta, Canada, with a 1GW capacity. The project, which was announced in a Meta blog post , is set to be built just outside of Edmonton in Sturgeon County, with the construction expected to take two to three years.

The Topolino will start from $13,995 Customers will have to pay extra to make it road legal A/C comes courtesy of removing the doors The US is about to get one of the cheapest electric vehicle s ever offered for sale, as the Stellantis Group has confirmed that the tiny Fiat Topolino will be available Stateside. Starting from just $13,995 (plus a $990 destination fee), the compact electric runaround features an equally minuscule 5.4kWh battery pack that delivers just 46 miles of range on a full charge. There's also a distinct lack of creature comforts. Based on the Citroën Ami, the glorified golf cart is designed to offer a mobility solution for busy European cities, with the model classed as a light quadricycle ( category L6e ) that sees the law regard it more like a four-wheeled scooter or moped than a traditional passenger car.

A new update is coming to Meta's smart glasses It should stop modders from disabling the light that lets people know you're using the camera Meta is also targeting modders on and off its platform Last month we shared details of reports that Meta glasses were being modded to bypass privacy protections and turn them into secret spy glasses. Now Meta has revealed it will update the glasses’ software to detect whether its light has been tampered with (or destroyed) to prevent recording. Whenever you take a photo or video with Meta glasses, a white light appears on the front of the glasses to signal to people around you that you’re filming. For creeps looking to be more secretive with their recordings, this light is a hindrance, but Meta has imposed more basic tamper-proof features since launch. That is, any attempt to use the camera while the light is blocked — such as by a piece of tape — w...

OXS Storm A2: Two-minute review The OXS Storm A2 is a wireless gaming headset with support for multiple platforms, including the PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, and mobile. It has a basic design that verges on anodyne, especially in its dark grey colorway. The X-shaped indents on the sides of the drivers do little to add interest, instead making it look dated. Thankfully, the headband is far more sleek, and overall it’s much less bulky than many of its rivals. It’s also pleasingly light, and the drivers fold away neatly, making the Storm A2 one of the best PC gaming headsets for portability. The quality of the materials is also quite good, with most feeling smooth and solid. The padding on the earcups and headband also appear strongly attached. This padding is reasonably plush and comfortable, too. The headband is more comfortable than many others I’ve experienced, although it’s not quite plush enou...
