Department of Justice | Email this | Comments - VLC hits version 2.0: brings presents to all the platforms
Open-source friend to all the video codecs, VLC media player, has hit version 2.0, bringing with it a raft of new features across Mac OS, Windows and Unix versions. VideoLAN’s also brought the player kicking and screaming into this decade with a better (read; less Windows 98-looking) makeover. The PC version will include a new 64-bit edition, while Mac OS X users will get a new iTunes-esque look, playback for Blu-ray and a new native full screen mode for Lion. There’s also a new subtitle manager and support for multiple videos inside RAR files. There’s also two extra surprises; an iOS version makes a return to the fold, with the development of an Android version appearing in the change log. Willing to give the first release a try? The files are available for your platform of choice at the source link below.

We may have attended the Model X premiere, but despite us pleading for a ride-along, Tesla PR insisted only those who’d plunked cash for a pre-order that evening would get the chauffeur treatment. Thankfully there’s YouTube user TheSpeedRead, who either threw down enough cash or was swift enough to evade security, slipping into a Model X and gratuitously posting it for all to see. In the video above you’ll catch a glimpse of the interior, which features the same 17-inch touchscreen as in the Model S. In addition, a Tesla employee muses about the advantages of its dual motor AWD system and low center of gravity as he sashays the crossover through a slalom course outside Tesla’s design HQ. Our friends at Autoblog Green also culled a video from SmartPlanet featuring the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, reflecting on the advantages of the Model X’s unique “Falcon Wing” rear doors and touting the advantages of not having a space-hogging combustion engine in its front — enabling the front trunk, or Frunk, to serve as a crumple zone “two to three times greater” than in competing vehicles. Get the full sales pitch from the entrepreneur extraordinaire after the break.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra durability test uncovers two separate screen protectors
Samsung's latest and greatest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, is already on its way to those who pre-ordered one, and while you wait for yours, aren't you interested in a good old fashioned durability test? Of course you are, and JerryRigEverything is here to deliver, as always. Weirdly enough, the scratch test reveals that Samsung shipped Zack's unit with not one, but two screen protectors applied onto the Gorilla Glass Victus, which to us seems like overkill. And it's also not something we've ever heard of before as a practice in the mobile world, so maybe this was just an...

Samsung Display details new energy-efficient OLED used in the Galaxy S21 Ultra
Samsung Display revealed more details on the new generation of power-efficient OLED panels, which is currently adorning the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Not only is it more efficient but brighter too. The OLED is cutting the power draw by 16% while increasing brightness too. The results from our Galaxy S21 Ultra testing proves that the display can get really bright and the battery runtimes seem to confirm Samsung's claims that the panel is more efficient as well. We all know that OLEDs use organic light-emitting diodes and Samsung has come up with a new material that increases the moving speed...
Accessories for AirTags start appearing online, Apple hasn't announced the tracking fobs
The Apple AirTags have been just around the corner for almost a year now and yet the Bluetooth tracking fobs have not been officially announced.
