In a bizarre story that seems to fit the Tesla brand to a tee, a Model S reportedly caught fire after being towed to a parking lot of a tire repair shop. Curiously, the Tesla in question was not involved in a collision before the fact, and was simply being taken in to replace a flat tire. This begs the question: how in the world did it catch on fire in the first place?

While that question remains unanswered for the time being, NBC Bay Area provides us with a few more details surrounding this incredibly peculiar story.

Steve Carell has been making the rounds doing press for his new movie that opens this weekend, Welcome to Marwen, which is about a nice guy who gets savagely attacked so badly that it erases his memories. As part of sitting for interviews about the movie, though, Carell has also had to deal with the modern entertainment version of those reporters who always used to ask The Beatles when they’d be getting back together.

In Carell’s case, it’s whether he’d ever consider returning to Scranton, Pennsylvania, and the office of the beloved paper company depicted in NBC’s hit series The Office. Sorry, though, folks — Carell just gave an interview explaining why that’s absolutely out of the question, as far as he’s concerned.

We’re just days away from 2019, which means a whole new slate of smartphones is right around the corner. Without question, the phones that we’re most excited to see are the 5G-capable offerings from around the industry, and one of the companies that has already confirmed a 5G phone launch in 2019 is OnePlus. The brand still hasn’t shared much about the phone itself, but we might have gotten our first sneak peek of it on Wednesday.

Prolific tech leaker Ishan Agarwal shared an image on Twitter this week of what appears to be a OnePlus employee showing off the company’s next smartphone in a private meeting. OnePlus CEO Pete Lau can be seen seated on the right edge of the photo, where he is examining what we assume is a prototype of the phone.

You can never be too careful when it comes to opening files or email attachments from untrusted sources. Just one errant click could have disastrous results, which is why many people who aren’t entirely comfortable with technology are so reluctant to try anything they haven’t done before on their personal computers. It’s really a sad state of affairs, but Microsoft (creators of one of the most vulnerable platforms of all time) has an intriguing solution.

This week, Microsoft introduced a new feature called Windows Sandbox which allows Windows 10 users to run apps in an isolated desktop environment without risking any long-term negative impacts to their PC. Software installed on Windows Sandbox stays in the sandbox, and is deleted forever once the program is closed.

Spotting a distant star is fairly easy for astronomers thanks to modern telescope technology, but finding stars in different stages of their lives can still pose quite a challenge. A recent study of newly discovered star called Gaia 17bpi is giving scientists a rare opportunity to observe a young star going through some big changes.

The star is doing something that scientists rarely get the chance to see: it’s growing, and fast. Gaia 17bpi is in the midst of a evolutionary fit of growth, and it’s bulking up right before astronomers’ eyes.
