Best Nintendo Switch Dock Sets Of 2023

If you’re looking for a Nintendo Switch dock, there are a few options to consider. The simplest and most reliable option is to buy another official dock directly from Nintendo.

4 Reasons You Shouldn’t Sign Up For The New Threads App Just Yet

Even though the new Threads app garnered over 30 million sign-ups on its first night, it still pales in comparison to the user numbers of Meta’s other platforms like Facebook and Instagram, which have billions of users. Twitter, for example, has around 350 million users. The current user numbers of Threads can be seen either as a positive or negative, depending on your perspective.

Although Threads is gaining popularity, it still lacks the massive user base of other social media giants. Furthermore, a surge of users can lead to an unpredictable experience, making it more difficult to curate your feed.

On the other hand, if Threads’ meteoric rise fizzles out, there may not be enough people on the platform to keep it interesting or sustainable. Many of your favorite individuals and organizations may have not yet made the switch to Threads. It might be wise to wait and observe how the user base of Threads develops.

10 Of The Oldest Military Submarines Still In Service Today

The Type 091, also known as the Han class, was developed during China’s Chairman Mao’s rule in the late 1950s. However, it took over two decades for the first submarine to be launched. The goal was to create a nuclear attack submarine that could rival those of the Soviet Union and the West during the Cold War. However, at that time, there were doubts about its technological capabilities, particularly in terms of meeting thermal performance and sound reduction standards, which are crucial for a submarine’s security as sonar detection is a significant threat.

On paper, the Type 091 was impressive, measuring 98 meters in length, 10 meters in diameter, and capable of reaching a top speed of 25 knots. Its pressurized water reactor was a technological triumph for China during that era, and advanced sonar, reconnaissance, and sound detection equipment were developed without any assistance from the West. For Chairman Mao, it must have been a significant achievement and a demonstration of China’s emerging global power.

A total of five Type 091 submarines were built, with three still in active service. These submarines have the capability to launch various torpedoes, including NATO variants, as China adopted standard calibers. They are also equipped with surface-launched anti-ship cruise missiles, which have a range of 42 kilometers and can reach a top speed of Mach 0.9. Despite undergoing upgrades, these submarines have been reported to experience radiation leakage and continue to have significant noise levels, according to the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence.

Evolution Of The Internet: How We Got Our Most Impactful Modern Invention

The internet has come a long way and continues to evolve, offering immense possibilities for improving our lives. With the rollout of 5G networks and satellite internet, not only will internet speeds and capacity increase, but the digital divide will also be bridged, providing internet access to everyone worldwide. As infrastructure improves, real innovation can be found in new technologies and apps.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to play a major role in shaping the future of the internet. Already in its early stages, AI has proven useful for enhancing efficiency, decision-making, and automation in various domains. Blockchain technology, which goes beyond cryptocurrencies, has the potential to revolutionize industries like finance by offering secure and decentralized record-keeping and transactions, enabling transparency, efficiency, and security.

On a more personalized level, the Internet of Things (IoT) envisions a world where everyday objects are interconnected, allowing them to collect and share data. IoT applications have already been found in wearables, transportation, and healthcare. Similar to AI, this connectivity will enhance efficiency and automate daily tasks.

It is important to note that the aforementioned ideas are ongoing trends and potential directions for the internet. However, the internet has always been influenced by unforeseen advancements and societal shifts. Our way of living, working, and interacting with technology using the internet could be entirely different in the future. One consistent aspect, though, is the internet’s potential to enhance convenience, create opportunities, and broaden access to information.

Volkswagen Taigun Proves Itself Yet Again With 5 Stars In Latin NCAP Crash Tests

After its 5-star performance in Global NCAP last year, the compact SUV has done the same in the stricter Latin NCAP

The Volkswagen Taigun is the safest compact SUV in India right now with its 5-star Global NCAP safety rating. Following its impressive performance, it has just been crash tested in the more strict Latin NCAP, where it also scored a 5-star safety rating. Let’s see how it performed:

Safety Equipment

The Taigun that was crash tested was equipped with six airbags and electronic stability control (ESC) as standard. The crash-tested unit also had optional autonomous emergency braking, which is not offered on the India-spec model. The made-in-India Taigun gets other safety features like ISOFIX child seat anchors, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and a rearview camera.

Adult Occupant Protection

In adult occupant protection, the SUV scored 92 percent (39.99 points), which includes the overall scores of both frontal and side-impact tests. This test came with a 5-star adult occupant protection rating.

Frontal Impact

In the frontal impact, the driver and passenger got ‘good’ protection on the head and neck. Chest protection was ‘good’ for the passenger and ‘marginal’ for the driver. Knee and tibia protection for both was ‘good’ and both of the driver’s feet also got ‘good’ protection. 

Side Impact

In the side impact test, the driver gets ‘good’ protection on the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis. 

Side Pole Impact

Just like in the side impact test, the driver gets ‘good’ protection on the head, abdomen and pelvis, but protection on the chest was ‘marginal.’

Child Occupant Protection

In child occupant protection, the Taigun got 92 percent (45 points). Here is how it performed:

Frontal Impact

In the frontal impact test, the child seats for both the 3-year-old and 18-month-old were installed facing the rear. In both cases, they were able to prevent head exposure and offered ‘good’ protection. For the younger child, the seat provided full protection. 

Side Impact

In this test, both the child restraint systems (CRS) offered full protection. The Taigun has ISOFIX anchorages as standard and also has all the necessary markings. All seats are also equipped with three-point seatbelts.

Pedestrian Protection

The Volkswagen SUV scored 55 percent (26.47 points) in this aspect. Here, in most parameters, the Taigun got ‘good’, ‘marginal’ and ‘adequate’ protection. While protection on the lower leg was ‘good’, the upper leg protection was ‘weak’, which might be the reason for its low score. 

Safety Assist

The Latin NCAP also tests the safety assist features of a car and the Taigun scored 83 percent (35.81 points). The SUV comes with seatbelt reminders for all passengers and electronic stability control (ESC) as standard. Although the Taigun does not get a full suite of ADAS features, the crash-tested model had autonomous emergency braking (AEB) as optional, thus meeting Latin NCAPs requirements.

Taigun In India

The India-spec Volkswagen Taigun comes with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC) and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) as standard. Depending on the upcoming regulations, it could also be updated to offer six airbags as standard. It is currently priced between Rs 11.62 lakh and Rs 19.46 lakh (ex-showroom).

UK-Based Lexmoto Presents The Sporty Nexus 125 Commuter Scooter

U.K.-based motorcycle manufacturer Lexmoto is known for its sporty and stylish beginner-friendly motorcycles. The brand sources its products from Chinese manufacturers and offers a range of sportbikes like the LXS and LXR models. In addition to these, Lexmoto also has an impressive selection of scooters, including the latest Nexus 125.

Unlike other scooters of this displacement that usually have a retro-inspired design, the Lexmoto Nexus 125 adopts a modern and sportbike-inspired look. It features angular, edgy bodywork and split LED headlights that resemble KTM’s styling. The pointed front fender extends beyond the bodywork, giving the Nexus an adventurous appearance.

In terms of performance, the Nexus 125 is powered by a beginner-friendly 125cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It delivers power to the rear wheel through a conventional CVT transmission, similar to most scooters in this class. The top speed is 110 kilometers per hour (69 miles per hour), although it’s important to note that such high speeds are not typically reached in urban environments.

Despite its 125cc engine, the Lexmoto Nexus 125 has imposing dimensions, making it appear larger than it actually is. It has a wheelbase of 1,600 millimeters and a total length of 2,230 millimeters. However, its seat height of 760 millimeters ensures accessibility for a wide variety of riders. The scooter weighs just 185 kilograms.

On the tech side, the Nexus 125 comes equipped with a large seven-inch instrument cluster. It offers ample under-seat storage for daily essentials and features large handles and retractable foot pegs for comfortable two-up riding. Keyless ignition and full-LED lights are some of the creature comforts provided by Lexmoto. The Nexus 125 is available in the U.K. for a price of £3,249.99 (approximately $4,143 USD).
