YouTuber buys stripped Tesla Model 3 ‘go-kart’ for $2,000 — it still has 212-mile range

Published by skeptic

A YouTuber bought a completely stripped-down Tesla Model 3 for just $2,000 — no body panels, no windshield, no seatbelts — and took it off-roading, drifting, and even jumping it. The wildest part? It still showed 212 miles of range on a full charge. The video, posted by Remmy Evans, is a testament to both the durability of Tesla’s drivetrain and the questionable decision-making that makes YouTube entertaining. From abandoned project to $2,000 ‘go-kart’ The story starts with a phone call. Evans gets a tip from his friend Jake about a special vehicle at Jake’s brother-in-law’s house in Idaho: a Tesla Model 3 that has been stripped down to almost nothing. The previous owner, Grayson, had purchased the Model 3 for $6,000–$7,000 with plans to transplant the drivetrain into a 1970s concept car. They even had a 3D artist render the finished design and started fitting parts, but abandoned the project after estimating it would take 800 hours to complete the body work. Evans negotiated the price down from $3,000 to $2,000, and walked away …

Ex-policeman stripped of British citizenship over links with Russia | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

An ex-policeman has become the first British person to have their UK citizenship stripped due to links with Russia. Normally, the move is associated with terrorists and dangerous gangsters, but Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood justified it on the grounds of national security. Mark Bullen, 45, had his British passport revoked after having worked for more than a decade at Hertfordshire Constabulary. He once described Russia as his “childhood love”, and admitted to Russian media that as a child he was called a spy by family and friends due to his passion for the Soviet Union. The man obtained a Russian citizenship in 2022, which has been his “lifelong dream”, and has been living in St Petersburg. Visiting the UK once or twice a year to visit family was “easy”, he said, until November 2024, when he claims he was “forcibly detained” under the terrorism act at Luton Airport. He had his electronic devices seized and says he was asked about the 2018 Salisbury poisonings during a four-hour interview after flying to the UK from Russia. …

Gregory Bull/AP A federal judge in Boston Tuesday ruled that the Trump administration violated the law when it ended the immigration status of nearly 900,000 migrants who came to the U.S. through a Biden-era parole program called CBP One. The program allowed migrants waiting in Mexico to schedule an interview to report to a port of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Sarah Ferguson stripped of ‘freedom of York’ by councillors over ties to Jeffrey Epstein | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

Sarah Ferguson has been stripped of the freedom of the city of York by councillors. The former Duchess of York, and ex-wife of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, had the honour removed following a unanimous council vote on Thursday evening. City of York Council members passed the motion during a meeting at the Guildhall, following fresh revelations about her connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in a New York prison in 2019. Ms Ferguson is mentioned several times among the millions of documents released by the US Department of Justice as part of the Epstein files. Being named in the files is not evidence of wrongdoing. The “freedom of the city” honour is a ceremonial role, awarded to notable figures. It does not grant any “privileges” in the city, according to York council’s website. Andrew was stripped of the same honour in 2022. The couple were jointly awarded the status in 1987 following their wedding. In October, Ferguson lost her Duchess of York title when her ex-husband also had his royal title removed, although at …

I stripped out my router’s built-in features and rebuilt them with Docker

Published by skeptic

Modern routers love to brag about ad blocking, smart DNS, traffic control, security layers, AI-this, and cloud-that. If I give it another firmware update, it’ll probably start offering life-coaching services. And for a while, I bought into all that. I let my router run most of my home network like some overconfident middle manager who just discovered dashboards. It “optimized traffic.” It “protected devices.” It made decisions I never explicitly asked for. It also randomly broke things: websites timing out for no reason, DNS slowing down like it needed a vape break, and devices behaving differently depending on what corner of the crib they were in, as if my Wi-Fi suddenly developed moods. Every time I opened the settings, everything looked fine. Because, of course, it did. That’s when I realized something slightly awkward. I had no idea what my own network was actually doing. So I did the only reasonable thing and turned all of it off. I stopped trusting my router When “it just works” slowly stops working Pankil Shah/MakeUseOf Credit: Pankil Shah/MakeUseOf It didn’t …

Several Senegalese players controversially walked off the pitch in Rabat during the final on January 18 in protest when the hosts were awarded a penalty late in second-half stoppage time.

Warning issued over Beatrice and Eugenie being stripped of Princess titles | Royal | News

Published by Sam Flores

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie should not lose their royal titles if the decision is made to strip their father from the line of succession. The debate over the York sisters’ status has intensified amid ongoing scrutiny surrounding their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal titles last year following the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. She told the People’s Channel: “Stripping them (Beatrice and Eugenie) of titles would risk creating public backlash.” She added: “Their roles as royal princesses and as private individuals carving out their own careers and identities remain separate from Andrew’s controversies.” Although neither Beatrice nor Eugenie is a full-time working royal, they remain part of the wider royal family and still attend major events such as Christmas and Easter gatherings. Ms Carratt added: “Retaining their titles maintains fairness, respects their personal achievements, and avoids unnecessary complications for the Royal Family. “Removing them could create more headlines for all the wrong reasons and inadvertently draw attention to the very issue they have no part in.” Some commentators have …

Peter Mandelson resigned his membership of the Labour Party due to further evidence emerging of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein (Alamy) 3 min read3 hr Prime Minister Keir Starmer believes Peter Mandelson should be stripped of his peerage due to his links to the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The prime minister’s spokesperson told reporters on Monday that Starmer “believes that Peter Mandelson should not be a member of the House of Lords or use the title”, after the latest release of files by the US Department of Justice on Friday suggested further connections between the peer and Epstein.  The documents suggest Epstein – the American financier who was convicted of child sex offences, rape and human trafficking before taking his own life in prison in 2019 – made $75,000 (£55,000) in payments to Mandelson in three separate $25,000 transactions in 2003 and 2004. Mandelson has denied these allegations and said he has “no record or recollection” of these payments. Mandelson resigned his membership of the Labour Party over the weekend, …

France to investigate deepfakes of women stripped naked by Grok – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

PARIS — French authorities will investigate the proliferation of sexually explicit deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence platform Grok on X, the Paris prosecutor’s office told POLITICO. French lawmakers Arthur Delaporte and Eric Bothorel contacted the prosecutor’s office on Jan. 2 after thousands of non-consensual sexually explicit deepfakes were generated by Grok and published on X. “These facts have been added to the existing investigation into X,” the prosecutor’s office stated, noting that this offense is punishable by two years’ imprisonment and a €60,000 fine. The two lawmakers confirmed to POLITICO that they had filed reports with the authorities. For the past two days, hundreds of women and teenagers have reported that their photos published on social media have been “undressed” by Grok — the artificial intelligence integrated into the social network X — at the request of users. These AI-generated photo montages “violate the dignity of the people depicted,” argues Delaporte in his letter to the public prosecutor, seen by POLITICO. When contacted by POLITICO, the French digital affairs office said three government ministers — Roland Lescure, economy …
