Tesla sunsets its Solar Roof tiles
Here’s Elon Musk showing off the Solar Roof plans back in 2016. | Image: Dieter Bohn / The Verge Tesla has discontinued Solar Roof, its solar panels designed to look like regular roofing tiles, Electrek reports.

My cats hate each other, but this automatic feeder is helping
Over the course of nearly a decade, my husband and I have dutifully carried out a four-times-daily ritual of feeding a pair of lovely cat siblings who hate each other.

Genki’s new customizable controller has a big screen and adjustable buttons
After collaborating with 8BitDo on a gamepad two years ago, Genki launched the first controller the company designed from the ground up today. With an unorthodox design that positions its thumbsticks and buttons above a large 2.9-inch LCD screen, the Manta looks a lot chunkier than competing controllers. But what really sets it apart is a deeper focus on customizability with numerous settings that can be adjusted using the controller's screen plus buttons and thumbsticks that can be tailored to each player's preferences. The Genki Manta is launching today through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. The earliest backers can preorder the con … Read the full story at The Verge.
