Hey there, lovers of action movies. You know that stun gun they use to freeze bad people. When it hits a victim, they vibrate like they’re suffering from an epileptic fit. There’s a flash drive that can actually do this to you computer. It doesn’t stop there, this flash drive can actually go ahead and severely damage your computer. Call it the USB Killer. The brain behind this innovation calls himself Dark Purple. He describes the device as an electrical loop of surges. For techies:
The basic idea of the USB Killer drive is quite simple. When we connect it up to the USB port, an inverting DC/DC converter runs and charges capacitors to -110V. When the voltage is reached, the DC/DC is switched off. At the same time, the filed transistor opens. It is used to apply the -110V to signal lines of the USB interface. When the voltage on capacitors increases to -7V, the transistor closes and the DC/DC starts. The loop runs till everything possible is broken down. Those familiar with the electronics have already guessed why we use negative voltage here.
So from henceforth, be mindful of the flash drives you plug into your computers. Before you see magic happening right before your eyes 😀 Below is a video demonstration of this flash drive in action.

Heard of the Tesla Model S? Yes; the electric car. No petrol. No diesel. Just electricity. But, it is more than just a car powered by electricity. It is also a smart car, able to drive itself along highways, i.e switch lanes, avoid collisions from the front and sides, as well as preventing the car from wandering off the road.
Real time feedback from the Tesla fleet ensures the system is continually learning and improving upon itself, so we are looking at early days of artificial intelligence (AI) as well.
Here are some photos for your enjoyment.
When was Tesla Model S launched?
The Tesla Model S is an electric luxury sedan car produced by Tesla, Inc. It was first introduced in 2012 and has since become one of the most popular electric cars in the world.
The Model S is known for its impressive performance and range, with the latest version (Model S Plaid) capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds and traveling up to 390 miles on a single charge (according to EPA estimates). And it takes only 30 minutes of charging to get it ready to drive for that long.
The Model S also features advanced technology such as a large touch screen display, over-the-air software updates, and Autopilot driver assistance features.
What do you think? Would you like to own and be driven by one of these? If you would love to own one, the price starts from $79,990 only. If you want the Model S Plaid, released in June 2021, be prepared to fork out as much as $129,900.
