    The latest Ecovacs vacuum sounds like a BLAST.

    One upgrade that the new $1,600 X9 Pro Omni robot vacuum mop has over the current $1,300 X8 flagship is Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology, which optimizes airflow from intake to exhaust, instead of just relying on suction power.

    There’s a deal running from May 13th-19th that’ll save customers $300, alongside a more affordable $1,200 T80 vacuum mop with near-identical specs to the X8.

    Power failure knocks out London’s train lines.

    The disruption reportedly stems from an outage that started in south-west London at about 2:30PM local time, according to the BBC, but there’s no word on what caused the failure. Travel is suspended across the Bakerloo and Waterloo & City lines, and partially suspended across the Elizabeth and Jubilee lines.

    The Transport for London website is tracking the situation but also seems to be experiencing its own issues, with pages struggling to load or crashing entirely.

    Welcome home, Kosmos 482.

    Humanity lives to fight another day after the failed Soviet lander re-entered our atmosphere at 2:24AM ET on Saturday before harmlessly splashing down in the Indian Ocean west of Jakarta, Indonesia, according to Russia’s space agency Roscosmos. Kosmos 482 became trapped in Earth’s orbit shortly after launching in 1972 and has been circling the planet for more than five decades.
