Tesla unveiled plans on Tuesday to develop a “Tabless” battery that could improve an electric car’s range and power. Tesla company CEO Elon Musk predicts this will help to dramatically reduce costs. This will allow the company to sell electric vehicles for the same price as gasoline-powered ones. These new batteries will be in-house produce of Tesla company.
The company believes that the new battery will lower Tesla’s cost per kilowatt-hour. Experts believe that lowering these costs will allow Tesla to dramatically lower the price of its cars. This will make them far more accessible. The news of the new battery was announced during the company’s much-hyped “Battery Day” event in Palo Alto, California.
The Tabless cells are called 4860 cells
These cells will give the company’s EV batteries five times more energy capacity, make them six times more powerful, and enable a 16 percent range increase for Tesla’s vehicles.
Musk reported that the company achieved this breakthrough by removing the tab, a part of the battery that forms a connection between the cell and what it is powering.
“You actually have a shorter path length for the electron to travel in a large tabless cell than you have in the smaller cell with tabs,” Musk added. “So even though the cell is bigger, it actually has more power”.
In addition to providing more energy and power, the new cells will also result in a 14% cost reduction. Tesla reports that its new cell manufacturing system is “close to working” at the pilot plant level.
During the event, Drew Baglino, Tesla’s vice president for powertrain and energy said that Tesla’s engineers “laser patterned” the existing foils in the cell to create a “shingled spiral” that results in a shorter electrical path length of 50 mm, versus the existing 250 mm length in the current cells.
Tottenham have been on a streak of signings in the transfer market. After re-signing Lo Celso from Real Betis, they announced Hojberg and Doherty from fellow Premier League clubs Southampton and Wolves earlier this summer.
Very recently, they announced the moves of Reguilon and Gareth Bale both from Real Madrid. It is this kind of ambition which questions Daniel Levy’s strategy having earlier admitted that it is tough to find funds to splurge in the market for such quality players.
More about #THFC. Arkadiusz Milik has been offered on last hours as new striker after deal collapsed with AS Roma – Spurs will decide soon [Belotti *out* of the list]. Talks on with Inter to sign Skriniar but Spurs will not bid for €60m. Rubén Dias [Benfica] is another option ⚪️
Nevertheless, they are stealthily moving forward for another target. And this time it is 25-year-old Inter centre back Milan Skriniar. With over 250 appearances at club level, Skriniar brings quality to a side whose current options are Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier.
The Slovakian is also quite versatile, having played at right-back and defensive midfield at times. However, the transfer is not expected to go through quite easily for a host of reasons. Firstly, the 60 million pounds valuation by Inter is not feasible for Tottenham. Secondly, it is rumoured that PSG are also monitoring the situation very closely.
However, what has pleased Spurs fans are the moves for Reguilon and former player Gareth Bale. The former solves the problems Mourinho has been having at left-back, with Ben Davies injured often and Danny Rose actively pushing for a move away from the club. Reguilon was also phenomenal for Sevilla last season, having made a fine impression in that Europa League final.
And as far as Gareth Bale is concerned, he immediately slots into that right-wing position. He will be looking to form a great partnership with the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli. So if Spurs indeed manage to sign someone like Skriniar, they will have a more than competent first XI that brims with talent and on their day can beat any team regardless of their status.
IPL 2020 just in its fourth day has created a massive upset as Rajasthan Royals defeated favourites Chennai Super Kings by 16 runs.
Royals put up a massive score of 216 runs batting first. Sanju Samson made an incredible 74 of just 32 balls which included 9 sixes! Steve Smith led by example as he scored 69 of just 47 balls. Jofra Archer added cherry on the cake by scoring 27 of just 8 balls.
While chasing, CSK came fairly close but was restricted to 200 runs. Faf Du Plessis picked off from where he left last time as he scored 72 runs of 37. MS Dhoni played a cameo of 29 runs of just 17 balls which included three consecutive sixes in the last over.
However, the fact that MS Dhoni came to bat at No. 7 has been an issue of controversy across the cricketing community. CSK didn’t have the services of Ambati Rayadu who was the highest run-scorer in their last game. Despite that, Dhoni sent Sam Curran, Kedar Jadhav, and debutant Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of him is baffling.

Gambhir slams the decision!
Former KKR captain and Indian opener Gautam Gambhir certainly wasn’t happy with Dhoni’s batting number. He didn’t measure any words to give his opinion.
“I was a bit surprised, to be honest,” Gambhir said.
“MS Dhoni batting at No. 7? And sending Gaikwadbefore him, Sam Curran before him. Makes no sense to me. In fact, you should be leading from the front. And this is not what you call leading from the front. Batting at No. 7 when you’re chasing what… 213 [217]? The game was over. Faf was probably the lone warrior.”
“Yes, you can talkabout MS Dhoni last over [when he hit three sixes], but it was of no use, to be honest. It was just all personal runs.”
Dhoni cleared the air on the issue!
Dhoni weighed in on the issue. He believes the lacklustre camp due to the pandemic was the reason why he came to bat lower down the order.
“I haven’t batted for a long time. 14-day quarantine doesn’t help.”
CSK coach Stephen Fleming defended his team’s reason for sending the captain at number 7 as well.
“MS is a specialist at the end of the innings, always has been,” Fleming said. “Curran was there to try and hit us and keep us in the game at that point when we were falling behind. He’s got good hitting power as we saw. Ruturaj… it was his first game and we wanted to get him into the game, into the order. We wanted to be aggressive, we’ve got a long batting order and we’re just trying to use our resources smartly.”
The LaLiga clubs have been quite active this season, but not in the recruitment process. Spanish clubs, in particular, are more into selling this season, than buying players. The likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Valencia have been particularly keen on freeing up their wage bill. But what is the main reason behind the clubs trying to reduce their squad strength? Find out below!
The financial angle
The most obvious of reasons has to be to raise funds. Collecting revenue from transfers becomes increasingly important considering that clubs are incurring heavy losses with every passing matchday. This is due to the absence of the revenue accumulated by ticket sales.
Football in Spain is more of a lifestyle than a pass-time. Hence, packed stadiums make for the most reliable source of income throughout the season. Until fans return to the stadiums, this is probably the only plausible way to raise funds right now.
Valencia seems to be one of the best examples to get this point across.
Over the span of a single transfer window, they have lost their best players in Rodrigo, Parejo, Coquelin, Garay and Ferran Torres.
Bloated Squads
In addition to finances taking a hit, squads have become bloated as well. This results in players becoming unhappy due to lack of game time.
Since every player wants minutes on the pitch, the most constructive solution has to be to send them out on loan or make their moves away permanent.
With the likes of Barcelona, though, things are different. Camp Nou needs a rebuilding, which is why the old bones need to be swapped for young players, hungry for glory. Barcelona have already managed to offload Rakitic, Vidal, Suarez and Semedo in an attempt to revive their status in Europe.

However, Real Madrid are a team with too much quality on their hands. Hakimi, Reguilon, Bale, James Rodriguez, Kubo, Reinier and Oscar Rodriguez are among the departures from the Spanish capital.
With so many talented youngsters, it is difficult to give each and every one of them game time. It is of vital importance that young players get minutes on the pitch, which are essential for their development.
Hence, making some money of them is the most viable solution.
These two cases show the two sides of two great clubs, one seems have everything set for the present and the future. The other, in shambles and crumbling where they stand.

Already AMD has stunned everyone of us with its efficient yet powerful Ryzen 4000U mobile APUs because of their efficiency and performance, now, it seems the team Red is ready to face off team Blue with its Ryzen 5000U Cezanne mobile processor.
Cezanne or AMD Ryzen 5000 APUs are based on AMD’s upcoming Zen 3 architecture and its existence has already been confirmed with AMD’s leaked roadmap. Also, you might think this is a rumor, but, previously the same APUs have been spotted SiSoftware database as well.
These Cezanne APUs will be succeeding Renoir on both laptops and desktops featuring Zen 3 CPU cores and Vega graphics. On the other hand, the speculated Van Gogh APUs will be featuring RDNA 2 graphics but come with Zen 2 CPU cores.
So, the next-gen AMD mobile APU will retain 8 cores on-board and interestingly, the 5700U will be a 16-threaded APU rather than its predecessor Ryzen 7 4700U with 8 cores and 8 threads. The upcoming Ryzen 7 5700U was spotted on the Ashes of Singularity benchmark paired with 16GB DDR4 RAM.
The scores weren’t much convincing at 1080p low, however, the existence of the next-gen AMD mobile APUs seems to be confirmed. You might have to get familiar with Ryzen 5000 already because AMD will be using the same name for its desktop Zen 3 based CPU series codenamed Vermeer, to be unveiled on October 8th.
Redmi, today, has announced a new event to showcase its audio product portfolio extension. The event is named “Redmi Beat Drop”, and scheduled for 30th September. The company announced this on Twitter along with a short video clip.
Though there is nothing written which products are going to launch, the video clip indicates, there will be two audio products. The first one is a TWS earbud that is clearly visible and the second one is a bit confusing. That could be an earbud with a stem shape, or a Bluetooth neckband, or a wired headphone.
📢 Here's your 1st look at #RedmiBeatDrop, the latest #Audio property from #Redmi, named by Mi Fans! ðŸ˜
It seems the TWS earbud is coming with black color and the second one is also black but the ear caps are blue. Redmi may also bring some other color variants for its fans, but still, there is no indication for that.
On the “Beat Drop Day”, the company may also come with some other surprises for us. We can assume that from the line “Beat-dropping announcements and more“ written in the Twitter post. It’s fully our assumption, we have to wait for the day to be sure.
Hope you know, on 29th, there is another event named “Smarter Living 2021” where Xiaomi confirmed the launch of a new smart band (could be Mi band 5), a comb, and Mi Smartwatch. There are some other products too as per the banner shared on the first announcement.
Altogether, Mi is bringing lots of new products to us by the end of this month.
Logitech, on this Monday, launched the successor of its Anywhere 2s. The new product, Anywhere 3, has the key feature to customize the side buttons. Through the side buttons, users can control camera and mic settings during a video call. There are two models, one is compatible with all the platforms like Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux, on the other hand, the second model is specially customized for the macOS.
The Anywhere 3 has the capability to scroll up to 1,000 lines in each second with the help of the next-generation MagSpeed metal scroll wheel. Interestingly you can increase or decrease this capacity from Logitech’s software. Other than that it can shift automatically between ratchet and hyperfast mode. The company says users can use this mouse on any surface including glass, thanks to the Darkfield sensor technology.
by – Logitech
Users can connect Anywhere 3 with up to three devices via either Bluetooth or using the USB dongle that comes with the mouse. The mouse will also provide the facility to copy and paste content across devices.
Coming to the charging and battery part, Logitech has added a Type-C port for that, and in one single charge, the mouse can run for up to 70 days. For rush moments, it can serve for three hours against only one-minute of charge.
The normal version of the Anywhere 3 is coming with three color options – Graphite, Pale Grey, and Rose. The mac version, on the other hand, has only a pale grey option. Each unit costs $79.99 i.e. roughly Rs.5,900.
Hitman 3 is the third sequel of the World of Assassins series and the eighth part of the Hitman series. It is a single-player stealth game that features our all-time favorite Assassin ‘Agent 47’. Developed and published by IO Interactive, Hitman 3 is set to release on 20 January 2021 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The VR game mode will be exclusively for PS5.
There will be two versions available for the game- the deluxe edition and the standard edition, and now you can Pre-order the game. The differences between both the editions are that the standard edition contains the game whereas, the deluxe edition includes the base game, digital soundtracks, cool in-game items, sexy suits, and much more. If you pre-order the game you’ll get a bonus called a Trinity Pack which incudes Hitman(2016) and Hitman 2.
Hitman 3 in PSVR
Hitman 3 is enabled with Virtual Reality, the VR gameplay mode is exclusively for PS5 with Oculus VR. Now, you don’t have to watch the bald head of Agent 47 in third-person mode, you’ll be able to see, experience, and play as Agent 47 itself in a first-person view.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Hitman 3 VR is that the weapons will mimic real-world maneuvers when you use it as stated by Mohl. Senior game designer Eskil Mohl promised that Hitman 3 VR will resume the cherished sandbox-game experience where the gamers can craft their own plans and strategies.
HITMAN VR brings a new perspective to the World of Assassination. From blind firing around corners, to hiding in foliage…
Moreover, Mohl also revealed in an AMA Reddit thread that Hitman 3 VR will not be using PlayStation’s Move controllers, but instead, it will use the DualShock controller. This will help the players to take advantage of the gamepad’s motion sensors and gyro aiming.
Hitman 3 gameplay
The gameplay is pretty the same as the previous Hitman man series except for VR. You have to disguise, blend into the crowd, act natural, stock your target, hear conversations, and wait for the perfect opportunity to eliminate the target. One thing is for sure that you will be equipped with fiber wire to strangle the victims. To eliminate your targets, you will be presented with several ways to choose from and of course, you can replay the completed mission.
Unlike Hitman 2, there will be no Ghost-Mode(1vs1 multiplayer) in Hitman 3. The Campaign will have four modes to enjoy- Elusive Targets, Escalations, Contracts, and Sniper Assassin.
Storyline
Hitman 3 will be the dramatic conclusion of the Hitman World of Assassins trilogy- stated by IO Interactive. In this part, the main objective of the game is to eliminate the partners of Providence.
When three extremely rich dynasties came together to merge their monetary resources into one, it led to the birth of Providence, an incredibly powerful, ancient secret society that controls the world.
It was Providence, which funded Dr. Ort-Meyer’s unethical genetic engineering programs, which led to the birth of Agent 47 and materialized him to become the perfect assassin. So for fulfilling his personal grudge, Agent 47 is out to yet another adventure to eliminate Providence leaders.
Hitman 3 setting and system requirements
Till now, we only know that Agent 47 will be discharged to two new locations: Dubai and Dartmoor, England.
As the Hitman 3 VR trailer suggests, Agent 47 will attend a plush event in Dubai that has a mix of high-brow tourists and rich men dressed in traditional white Arab clothing. The posh venue features stunning gold articulations around doorways and stylish, minimalist furnishings. In another trailer, we see Agent 47 to climb a Dubai Skyscraper and in one scene we see him wearing a skydiving suit.
In Dartmoor, England, by pretending to be an investigator, Agent 47 will pay a visit to an old-money family. The family’s mansion is massive and extravagant with dark halls, filled with creepy portraits of forefathers, all of this gives it an ancient and haunted look.
