IKEA and Lego, two companies known for selling products that customers have to build themselves, have finally revealed the fruits of their collaborative labour first teased two years ago.

I’m currently in the throes of a hardcore wrench-a-thon with a 1994 diesel manual Chrysler Voyager minivan.

Some of you may recall how a week or so ago I had to defend myself from angry Tesla-stans regarding my statements about how Level 2 semi-automation — the level of autonomy where Tesla’s Autopilot operates — sucks. It sucks because the sort of vigilance tasks demanded of the not-really-driving…

Viruses are often termed “the invisible enemy”. They aren’t visible with the naked eye, or even by using a standard optical microscope. So how do we know they exist or what they look like? There are biochemical methods, such as the ones used to confirm COVID-19 infection, that look for…
Yesterday, the Victorian government released much-anticipated figures showing the proportion of the state’s health-care workers who caught COVID-19 at work. Victoria’s chief medical officer Andrew Wilson said yesterday that 70-80 per cent of health workers testing positive to COVID-19 were infected at work. That’s compared with 22 per cent in the…
I guess calling it House Haunters would’ve been too on the nose?
In early August, Belarus — known as Europe’s last dictatorship — went almost entirely offline for 72 hours. On Wednesday August 26, for approximately one hour, Belarus shut down key parts of the capital’s internet once again; allegedly, the order had come directly from official state bodies.

Hurricane Laura is no joke. The U.S. National Hurricane Centre isn’t holding back on its warnings, saying the storm will bring “unsurvivable storm surge” to the Gulf Coast. This is the weather of nightmares, and it’s less than 12 hours away from making landfall.
I’ve used many Bluetooth speakers over the years. Some have been good, and others have been, well, not good. Choosing a portable Bluetooth speaker that’s a good fit for you requires considerations like whether you care more about a bargain price or, say, a thumping bass. But before you shell…
Antarctica’s coast is home to roughly 50 ice shelves — floating ledges of ice that jut out from the edge of the continent into the ocean — large enough to have names. There’s our old friend Larsen, the very relatably named Quar, the fancy-pants King Edwards, and others. Remember them…

The Volkswagen Passat has been with us since 1973 in eight official generations and a shit ton more facelifts, including one for the U.S. market this year. Still, given the demand for SUVs and VW’s big push into electric vehicles, it wasn’t always clear if Passat would get a ninth…
Throughout our lifetimes we consume, collate, curate, host and produce a staggering quantity of data – some by our own hand, some by others on our behalf, and some without our knowledge or consent. Collectively, our “digital footprints” represent who we are and who we were. Our digital legacies are…
One of the interesting things about modern electric cars is their ability to be modified relatively easily, via software. Tesla, of course, understands this and takes full advantage of it by offering things like an “Acceleration Boost,” a $US2,000 ($2,789) option for dual-motor Model 3s that unlocks an extra 37…
Tenet’s inverted fight scenes are spectacular and their filming process was just as impressive. John David Washington sat down with Gizmodo Australia to discuss how it all works.
