Following a 20-plus year wait, RPG fans will finally return to the Forgotten Realms of the popular Baldur's Gate franchise. But the Dungeons & Dragons-based sequel has much more going for it than players' long-brimming anticipation. Developed by Larian Studios — the team behind acclaimed RPG series Divinity — Baldur's Gate III represents that rare dream pairing of a beloved property with the studio best suited to adapting it. Toss in the fact that this hotly anticipated PC game has been honed over two years of fan feedback-fueled early access, and we can't wait to party up and teach those ugly mind flayers some manners. 

Several test prototypes have already been spotted with camouflaged front and rear ends, suggesting the Model 3 is in for some major visual updates. But Tesla's compact sedan will get more than that. According to a "trusted insider" who offered an exclusive insight to Not A Tesla App, the Project Highland will bring significant changes inside and out. 

Starting with the design, the report notes the headlights will have a different shape, which means the front bumper will be redesigned as well. It will be more aerodynamic and will now house a single camera in the center area of the lower grille, in similar fashion to the Cybertruck.

Out back, the refreshed Tesla Model 3 is also getting a redesigned bumper, although the changes will likely be purely for aesthetic reasons.

The source also said the side mirrors will be subtly updated and the Project Highland will be getting more cameras to take advantage of the new Hardware 4.0 Autopilot supercomputer. Three new cameras will reportedly be added to the Model 3: one in the center of the front bumper and two on the sides of the car.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is due to release in Fall 2023 exclusively for PS5, completely skipping PS4. This was confirmed via a Tweet by PlayStation(opens in new tab) (opens in a new tab). Rumors had suggested that we would be getting a release date imminently, so it was great to have it confirmed. For now, Fall 2023 is the closest we have to a final date. We'll update if we hear more.

In a conference call following the release of the results, CEO Elon Musk made new comments announcing that Tesla plans to hold a “handover event,” which generally means the first deliveries of a new car, toward “the end of the third quarter.”

This would put the first Tesla Cybertruck deliveries around September 2023. It’s the most precise timing of Cybertruck deliveries that Tesla has released to date.

Based on the launch of Tesla’s most recent models, especially the Model Y, we should expect Tesla to only deliver a few Cybertrucks during the delivery event, likely only to Tesla insiders, and we can expect months between the event and the start of deliveries to customers.

Interestingly, Musk also said that Cybertruck reservation holders should expect to get an update on specs and pricing at that event at the end of Q3.

In previous comments, Musk indicated that the Cybertruck would be available in a new top-of-the-line variant with quad motors rather than the tri-motor powertrain originally announced.

The plant will build the company’s next-generation EVs that are expected to arrive to market around mid-decade.

The changes to the Oakville complex will include combining three body shops into one and adding battery pack assembly, Ford said.

The Oakville plant will continue to build the gas-powered Ford Edge and Lincoln Nautilus crossovers up until the plant’s downtime.

The investment is part of Ford’s plan to have production capacity for 2 million EVs globally by the end of 2026.

The retooling is expected to take six months and begin in the second quarter of next year, Ford said.

UC San Diego is pushing ahead with plans to build dorms that will collectively hold 3,310 students to deal with the school’s runaway growth and a critical housing shortage.

The expansion will increase the university’s housing capacity to 22,260 — a figure larger than the number of people living in such communities as Solana Beach and Scripps Ranch.

The campus got a lift from the University of California Board of Regents, which this week gave the school permission to move forward with two huge projects, Pepper Canyon West and Thurgood Marshall College Undergraduate Student Housing.

Pepper Canyon will house 1,310 transfer and upper-diversion undergraduate students near the Blue Line trolley station that recently opened on campus, a few minutes walk from Geisel Library.

 The $350 million project also will feature retail space.

Sites Reservoir when completed, the long-proposed, $4 billion Sites Reservoir will hold enough water to feed the needs of five million homes a year or a half million acres of farmland. That's enough water to cover every square inch of San Francisco with water that is 50 feet deep.

“Two years ago, if you think about our multipack packages, that’s our one ounce size in multipack servings, those packages were in another outer plastic. So we moved that from plastic into cardboard and recyclable cardboard,” he said.

That move alone was able to deliver 12 million pounds of plastic out of the environment, PepsiCo said

In April, Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats opened a new learning center for packaging innovation at Frito-Lay’s research and development headquarters in Texas, where it will field test, measure and analyze compostable packaging, aiming to make the process of testing products to certification-ready at least two to three times faster.

Now, that doesn’t mean that they will invade in 2027, but certainly implies a significant milestone.

Westinghouse announced the launch of a small version of its flagship AP1000 nuclear reactor on Thursday.

The new reactor, called the AP300, aims to be available in 2027, and will generate about a third of the power as the flagship AP1000 reactor, enough to power about 300,000 homes.

It’s expected to cost about $1 billion to set up each plant, a small fraction of the expense of the full AP1000.
