Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot has been untethered and set free, which, for anyone convinced of an imminent robot uprising, is a rather worrying development.

Unfortunately, splurging on a complete Atmos configuration often entails spending thousands on the hardware you’ll need to run the show and the labor required to install it.

You simply press new tweet, tap the camera icon, set it into GIF mode if it’s not there already, and press and hold the record button....

Let’s face it. Electric vehicles are getting cheaper, but they’re still expensive, with so-called “budget” models still costing north of $35,000. That, however, really only accounts fornewelectric vehicles — and it turns out that used ones are getting much more affordable. In fact, a new report suggests that the price of used electric vehicles is falling much quicker than that of gas counterparts. I get it — the concept can be scary....
