The saga involving Jeff Bezos earlier this year almost reads like a script for an upcoming Netflix drama. All the ingredients are there: a famous CEO who just so happens to be the richest man in the world, an illicit affair involving trips around the world, leaked nudes and text messages, possible hacking, and an extortion attempt from a notorious gossip rag that was seemingly bankrolled by a foreign government.

Without getting into all of the seedy details involving the National Enquirer’s efforts to extort Bezos, a quick overview of the events might be helpful. In short, Bezos in February explained why he was not going to give in to the extortion attempt in a post on Medium.

If a package showed up at your doorstep containing nothing more than garbage you’d probably demand to know where it came from and, once you figured that out, would likely want to return the trash to its rightful owner. That’s exactly what the entire country of Malaysia is attempting to do right now, and it says the United States is just one of several countries that illegally sent plastic trash to its shores.

Officials in Malaysia say that they received several hundred tons of mislabeled plastic refuse that is completely non-recyclable. As CNN reports, the shipments apparently contained contaminated plastics as well as e-waste.

After an endless number of leaks, which seems to be par for the course for Android handset manufacturers these days, the OnePlus 7 Pro was officially introduced about two weeks ago. And while it’s sometimes easy to get bogged down with a seemingly endless stream of new Android handsets, the OnePlus 7 Pro brings a whole lot to the table and is definitely worth paying close attention to if you want a premium Android experience.

Spec wise, the OnePlus 7 Pro is a screamer. Whether we’re talking about the device’s display, performance, battery, or wildly intriguing camera scheme, the OnePlus 7 Pro is impressive across the board. For now, though, we’re gonna focus on speed. And in particular, we’re gonna hone in on how fast the OnePlus 7 Pro is relative to Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S10+.

OnePlus launched three new OnePlus 7 versions in the past few weeks, including a phone that looks a lot like the OnePlus 6T, a OnePlus 7 Pro that features a brand new design, and a 5G version of the Pro phone that’s only available in the UK for the time being. In the process, OnePlus increased the price of its new flagship, making the OnePlus 7 Pro its most expensive new handset ever.

The handset is still more affordable than competing flagships from Apple, Samsung, and Huawei, but it’s by no means the cheapest flagship killer you can buy. That title is reserved for a different handset from China — one that you might not be able to find in stores, however.

NASA has planned on returning to the Moon for some time now, hashing out plans for its Lunar Gateway which will eventually serve as a jumping-off point for travelers headed to the Moon’s surface. Then, back in March, the current presidential administration decided it wanted NASA to complete a return to the Moon as soon as possible, offering a mere five years to complete the task.

The request was, to put it bluntly, absurd. NASA doesn’t have the funding to pull it off, and even if it did it would require a truly monumental effort to meet the arbitrary deadline. Despite this, Trump-appointed NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine eagerly accepted the “challenge,” and while everyone waits to see whether lawmakers will provide enough cash for a Moon 2024 mission to be possible, NASA just launched a hype video of sorts to assure everyone that a 2024 Moon mission is definitely, totally happening.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a marked increase in the number of videos depicting Tesla’s Autopilot feature assume control of a car and maneuver out of potentially dangerous situations. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given that Tesla’s Autopilot technology continues to improve, not to mention the fact that the number of Tesla vehicles on the road continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

While Tesla’s Autopilot feature is far from perfect — as a recent Consumer Reports review recently revealed — there’s no denying that it’s an intriguing step towards a future where advanced automotive technologies will routinely help prevent what might otherwise be tragic collisions.

Marvel Studios has yet to reveal anything about the Marvel Cinematic Universe beyond Spider-Man: Far From Home in July, but we now know that at least one of the original Avengers is on board for more movies. Speaking with Variety in a wide-ranging interview published this week, Chris Hemsworth made it very clear that he is interested in returning to play Thor, God of Thunder, as Phase 4 of the MCU kicks off in 2020.

“I’d still love to do more, to be honest,” Hemsworth told Variety. “And I don’t know what the plan is. I feel like we’ve opened up such a different character. I feel more energized for the possibility of where it could go. But I’ll use that in other places and other characters if it’s the end here.”

Samsung on Tuesday announced the launch of two new chips that it says will support secure, fast-charging USB-C power delivery controllers.
