Fail of the year: Chery's PR team wanted to create an epic ad featuring their crossover, the Fengyun X3L, driving up Tianmen Mountain.

However, the vehicle couldn't handle it, crashing through the barriers on the "Heaven's Ladder" and nearly going off the mountain.

As a result, Chery even had to issue an apology.

The guy went on a spree but forgot his car parked at the department store — the cost was shocking.

Audi enters Formula 1 for the first time in 75 years — in 2026, the Revolut Audi will debut, a car that the Germans have developed from scratch.

Under the hood is a hybrid power unit producing a thousand horsepower: half of the power comes from electricity, and the other half from a V6 turbo running on synthetic fuel made from CO2 and waste. The most impressive part? No oil involved.

In terms of design, Audi is focusing on minimalism and ruggedness: sharp lines, aerodynamic surfaces, and a combination of titanium, carbon black, and the signature "Audi red."

By 2030, this beast will be competing for the world champion title.

Durov has been allowed to leave France freely, reports Bloomberg. The restrictions were imposed in the summer of 2024 when the head of Telegram was detained at the airport.

Congratulations!

The Chinese have released a truly indestructible smartphone — the OnePlus 15’s casing resists scratches, chips, and even cuts.

This is all thanks to a micro-arc oxidation technology — a clever electrochemical process that significantly enhances the strength of the metal. As a result, any damage to the casing can be wiped away like chalk from a blackboard.

Tim Cook, when?

Learning New Languages Slows Down Aging — a new study.

Researchers conducted the largest examination of this hypothesis involving 86,149 participants from 27 European countries aged between 51 and 90 years old. They calculated each participant's "cognitive age," which reflects the difference between a person's actual age and the condition of their body and mind.

The results were surprising: individuals who speak only one language "age" prematurely 2.11 times more often, while knowing at least one additional language slows down aging by 2.17 times more frequently.

The scale is progressive; each new language learned decreases the risk of developing age-related dementia:

- 2 foreign languages: 1.3 times lower risk of accelerated aging;
- 3 languages: 1.96 times lower;
- 4 or more languages: 1.56 times lower.

However, this effect diminishes with age: the fewer languages you know, the quicker the "protection" fades away.

Starting Monday, we're learning Chinese!

The creators of PUBG have announced a "voluntary resignation" program—the company aims to replace all employees... with AI.

Krafton has stated that it is becoming an AI-first company, meaning it is restructuring all processes so that key decisions, development, and tools are built around AI.

The irony is that, against this backdrop, the publisher has offered employees in Korea the option to resign voluntarily with compensation ranging from 6 to 36 months' salary, while hiring has been frozen for everyone except AI teams and developers of new intellectual properties.

Officially, Krafton refers to this as "helping employees determine their career paths in the age of AI." Unofficially, it appears that the company is cutting costs and replacing human workers with automation. All of this is happening while the company reports a record profit of 1.05 trillion won for the quarter.

Robots are indeed taking over jobs.

Law enforcement will have the authority to arrest and seize cryptocurrency during criminal investigations: they can transfer funds from wallet to wallet or completely confiscate cold wallets.
