The Tesla Cybertruck is unlike anything you’ve seen before: sharp creases and angles, like something doodled by a (talented) high schooler in that boring history class, or imagined for a science fiction movie. It is also a competitively priced pickup, listed at $40,000 to $70,000 with one to three motors. Speaking of science fiction, CEO Elon Musk said delivery will be in 2021, which is as little 58 weeks away, as much as 109 weeks away. Tesla has a history of missing ship dates, and not by a small margin. The design is so far outside the pickup truck norm, with an angled bed cover, stainless steel body, and shatterproof windows (which of course shattered during the announcement), that there is considerable belief the design will change significantly between now and the, uh, 2021 launch date.

The original Dragon has been making supply runs to the ISS for several years, so it was able to test the crewed version (autonomously) earlier this year.
Google has announced that Google Cloud Print, one of its more useful and interesting services, will be shut down on December 31, 2020. The company recommends that people who depend on Google Cloud Print “identify an alternative solution and execute a migration strategy.” It’s the latest service that the company no longer wants to provide. Google Cloud Print allowed you to print to a local printer from any device. You could print from iOS, Android, or a Chrome device.
