What do you do when your laptop screen breaks or the keyboard gives out? After some troubleshooting, you probably toss out the machine and upgrade. But what if some of your laptop's components could be harvested and put in another computer, like some Frankenstein creation? That's what Dell has in mind with its Concept Luna laptop project.
Concept Luna
According to the UN's Global E-waste Monitor 2020, only 17.4 percent of the 53.6 million metric tons of electronic waste created in 2019 was recycled. One of the sustainability goals Dell wants to achieve by 2030 is to reuse or recycle an equivalent product for every product a customer buys, with over 50 percent of product content being composed of recycled or renewable materials. And how will it get all those recyclable materials? Partially from Dell customers.
Last week, I was able to check out Concept Luna. Announced today, it's a laptop aimed at helping Dell achieve its environmental goals by offering parts that are easier to repair, reuse, and recycle. The machine is built to open up easily, so you can harvest its motherboard or other parts to use in future systems. Through this process, Dell hopes that a motherboard will be able to be used in up to three machines.
Popular password manager LastPass was acquired by LogMeIn in 2015, but now the company has announced plans to spin off LastPass as a standalone business again. According to a post on the LastPass Blog, the move will allow allow the team to roll out improvements and new features more quickly moving forward. But there’s no […]
According to a post on the LastPass Blog, the move will allow allow the team to roll out improvements and new features more quickly moving forward. But there’s no word on what, if anything, the change will mean for the pricing structure.
A year after LogMeIn acquired LastPass, the company made a change that allowed you to use the service for free across multiple devices (previously you could use the desktop or mobile versions for free, but starting in 2016 you could use both for free and only needed to pay for additional functionality).
LogMeIn and LastPass say that there’s growing demand for password security and features including single sign-on and/or multi-factor authentication. LastPass currently has over 30 million users, and the companies say they’ve seen an acceleration in account creation over the past year and a half. LogMeIn also notes that 85-thousand businesses are using LastPass, suggesting that corporate customers could be an important part of the standalone LastPass business moving forward.
LastPass says planned improvements include “even more third-party integrations for businesses,” and improved support channels. But some of the updates in the roadmap should affect individual users as well, including an improved mobile experience and “faster, seamless save and fill.”
That said, I can’t help but wondering if customers LastPass lost with its changes in the past year have any intention of coming back or if they’ll stick with alternatives like Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass.

Hackers including Chinese state-backed groups have launched more than 840,000 attacks on companies globally since last Friday, according to researchers, through a previously unnoticed vulnerability in a widely used piece of open-source software called Log4J.
Cyber security group Check Point said the attacks relating to the vulnerability had accelerated in the 72 hours since Friday, and that at some points its researchers were seeing more than 100 attacks a minute.
Perpetrators include “Chinese government attackers,” according to Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer of cyber company Mandiant.

Despite being a pioneer in hybrid cars, Toyota failed to translate that knowledge and experience into a strong battery electric vehicle portfolio. Although the company collaborated with Tesla early in the last decade, it has recently taken to lobbying governments to water down decarbonization strategies rather than churning out BEVs. But that situation looks set to change—at least in terms of the company presenting a stronger lineup of fully electrified products.
On Tuesday in Tokyo, the automaker held a briefing to discuss more details about its BEV plan. "Specifically, we plan to roll out 30 battery EV models by 2030, globally offering a full lineup of battery EVs in the passenger and commercial segments," said Toyota President Akio Toyoda.
Toyota wants to sell 3.5 million BEVs per year by that date, and it showed off a diverse array of EV concepts, many of which it says should appear as road versions in the next few years.

Nearly two years have now come and gone since Boeing's Starliner spacecraft made its unsuccessful debut test flight, launching on December 20, 2019. Now, finally, there is some clarity on when the vehicle may launch again and attempt to dock with the International Space Station.
NASA and Boeing said Monday that they were working toward a launch of Starliner in May 2022. To accommodate this launch date for the "Orbital Flight-2" or OFT mission, Boeing will swap out a faulty service module—which provides power and propulsion to the Starliner capsule in flight—with a new one.
Boeing initially tried to fly OFT-2 in August. However, with less than five hours remaining in the countdown to launch, during a routine procedure, 13 of the 24 valves that control the flow of dinitrogen tetroxide oxidizer through the service module of the spacecraft would not cycle between closed and open. The launch was aborted.
