    Guess how many stations Elon Musk’s expanded Vegas Loop will have?

    You guessed it, 69 — Musk’s favorite number. That’s up from original plans for 51 stations, and means the Boring Company-built system will now comprise 65 miles of tunnels under Las Vegas (up from 29 miles previously). I wonder what the traffic will be like?

    The Nothing Phone 2, coming this summer.

    Nothing hasn’t exactly been shy about its plans to release a follow up to the Phone 1 in 2023. But now it’s official: the Phone 2 is coming this summer. Details about the handset are thin on the ground, but expect it to be powered by a Snapdragon 8-series chipset (rumored to be the 8 Plus Gen 1), and potentially see a release in the US.

    Intel might soon have one fewer “i.”

    For over a decade, Intel’s CPUs have followed a (relatively) consistent “Core i” naming scheme. But that could be about to change with its upcoming 14th-generation Meteor Lake processors.

    After a mysterious “Intel Core Ultra 5 1003H” popped up on Ashes of the Singularity’s benchmark database, Intel global communications director Bernard Fernandes teased that “brand changes” are on the way.

    Another Google device switches to the purple side.

    Fuchsia, a new open source operating system developed by Google that’s notable for not being based on Linux, is starting to roll out for the 2021 Nest Hub, 9to5Google reports. It’s the third device to run the OS behind the original Nest Hub and Nest Hub Max. It’s a very back-end change though — don’t expect any interface or feature differences.
