Lovell humorously notes, “I might as well be driving a UFO.” While the spectacle is embraced by many Cybertruck owners, who willingly pull over to showcase their vehicle’s unique features, the stainless steel exterior has become a canvas for greasy fingerprints, almost treated as a badge of honor. However, this…

In response to regulatory requirements outlined by the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) and mounting complaints from researchers, X purportedly reinstated access to its API.…
