Tesla now lets you buy some merch in Dogecoin
Giga Texas Belt Buckle now costs 835 DOGE.
Tesla now lets customers buy select items of merchandise using Dogecoin, the company’s CEO Elon Musk has announced. Products buyable with the meme-based cryptocurrency include the Cyberquad for Kids (12,020 doge / around $2,320), the Giga Texas Belt Buckle (835 doge / around $161) and the Cyberwhistle (300 doge / around $58). _Business Insider_notes that Dogecoin was up 16 percent to around $0.20 following the news.
The initiative was initially announced by Musk on Twitter on December 14th when he said that the company would “see how it goes” with the cryptocurrency payment option. It’s unclear if or when Tesla might eventually accept payment for its vehicles in Dogecoin, which Musk has previously said may be his favorite cryptocurrency.

What if Flat Design was a ploy to level the playing field in UI design?
Apple's skeuomorphic design was sophisticated, and impossible to copy without looking like a knock-off. You couldn't do proper brushed aluminium in CSS. Even old Windows widgets had enough detail that a CSS border couldn't do it.
But now? Everything is flat. Easy to replicate. A few lines of CSS can make something *more sophisticated* than what Apple and Microsoft ship!

Krafton even accuses Google of hosting YouTube videos with gameplay of the two games in question, as well as “numerous posts containing a feature-length Chinese film that is nothing more than a blatantly infringing live-action dramatization of Battlegrounds.”
The games Krafton takes issue with are called Free Fire and Free Fire Max, offered by developer Garena. On both the App Store and Google Play, they show up as Garena Free Fire and Garena Free Fire Max. Both are available for free...

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge
NBC News has published a great report on the struggles Amazon employees face trying to get tested for COVID after the company stopped onsite testing last summer, and the HR quagmire they could end up in when reporting their results or dealing with illness-related PTO. The story is well worth a read, as it delves into Amazon’s policies and systems, and gives a voice to the employees they affect.
The author of the report spoke to workers who faced breakthrough cases and unexpected costs as they tried to get tested for COVID, struggling with an overburdened and difficult-to-navigate healthcare system. “I really wish they would bring free COVID testing back to us,” says one employee.
One employee says Amazon’s systems “take the human out of...
