The Isle of Mists Part 2 in Witcher 3

After Uldaryk’s curse is lifted, Geralt proceeds to Kaer Trolde keep meeting with Crach to collect a reward. The gates have been closed according to the tradition that the jarls hold a feast and, afterward, select their new king.

King’s Gambit

  1. Arnvald greets Geralt at the gate and brings him to the hall where the jarls have been gathered.
  2. We arrive witnessing Cerys arguing with her brother.
  3. After listening a bit of their squabble, proceed to meet with Crach in his chambers. Birna, exits the room and expresses the dislike about the selection process. Saying that it is more like a “farmers market” where “votes have been bought and sold”.
  4. As soon as Geralt receives the sword, Fate, a loud sound is heard coming from the banquet hall. Geralt and Crach run towards it and witness bears attacking everyone they see.
  5. Defeat the bears. Afterwards, a cutscene will play and the remaining jarls suspect that it was a sabottage planned by Crach to eleminate competion to the throne.
  6. Using your Witcher Sense, look around and investigate how the bears came to be and who was behind it.
  7. Investigate this bowl and follow where the scent leads to find a horn mug.
  8. Take the horn and show it to Hjort.
  9. Follow Cerys into the wine cellar and check the barrels for any signs of contamination.
  10. Right after Geralt spoke of finding out where the barrel came from, an incendiary was tossed into the wine cellar and causing the barrels to catch fire. Escape the burning cellar by using Aard on this barrels.
  11. After exiting the cellar through a tunnel, head back to the cellar entrance and use Witcher Sense to check for clues.
  12. Follow the foot prints until you reach this area to find a torn cloth caught in the torch holder. The pyromaniac was actually Arnvald.
  13. Chase the escaping Arnvald and knock him off the horse by attacking with the sword or with the crossbow.
  14. He then tells Geralt the reason why he did the deed. Cerys also finds out the Arnvald was not working alone. That Birna Bran, the widow of King Bran, was the one behind all of it.
  15. The remaining jarls are assembled as demanded by Cerys. She then proceeds to name Birna as the traitor who caused the slaughter.
  16. However the jarls were not convinced after all the evidence that was presented. Only when Svanrige was questioned his mother of why he was removed from the hall prior to the massacre did they believe Cerys. Birna succumbs and admits the deed.
  17. Birna is sentenced to die and Svanrige be exiled. Cerys is then crowned as Queen of Skellige. She agrees to help with defending Kaer Morhen from the Wild Hunt by sending Hjalmar and their best warriors.

Both King’s Gambit and Brothers in Arms – Skellige are completed. Now let us proceed to the Isle of Mists.

Isle of Mists

  1. Get to the docks and find a boat. Head to this location. Also make sure to manually save the game before proceeding.
  2. When you arrive at the Isle of Mists, follow the firefly until it stops near a hut. Go and check what’s inside the hut.
  3. Inside the hut are survivors of a shipwreck. They won’t let Geralt in for fear of being killed.
  4. Geralt offers them to find their lost mates Ivo, Gaspard, and Ferenc.
  5. Ivo can be found on top of a rock, instead of a cave as the game states.
  6. Gaspard is found at the top of the lighthouse.Take him back to the hut. Be careful not to leave him behind as he has narcolepsy.
  7. Ferenc is found near the coast and appears to have been killed by a fiend.
  8. Now that you have brought back Gaspard, you are then able to get inside the hut and find Ciri.

The Battle of Kaer Morhen

After finding Ciri, cut scenes will be played along with some conversation options to steer the story and reveal what has transpired during her escape with the Wild Hunt.

  1. After the cut scenes, you are then back at Kaer Morhen. Get inside the castle to start the council.
  2. During the council you will have to decide what to prioritize and prepare for the attack. We’ll leave you to decide what options you choose.
  3. As soon as you are ready for the battle, exit the castle and ride with Lambert into the woods and hunt down the arriving Wild Hunt.
  4. Use dimeridium bombs or the Yrden sign to close the portal and eliminate the remaining Wild Hunt warriors.
  5. Lambert notices that the Wild Hunt warriors are regrouping and that they are no longer invisible to the enemy.
  6. Geralt recognizes the warrior Imlerith and immediately fires a bolt to signal Triss to attack the area with a spell.
  7. We now switch to Ciri on her way to aid Triss.
  8. Defeat the warriors that threaten Triss.
  9. Geralt, sensing danger, returns to the castle to close the main gate and delay the warriors from getting inside.
  10. Defeat all the opponents then proceed to the main gate.
  11. Arriving at the closed gate, proceed to help Triss fend off the warriors.
  12. Switching back to Ciri, defeat all of Caranthir’s warriors and open the main gate.
  13. Make the last stand here, close all of the portals using Yrden, and dimiridium bombs then kill the remaining warriors. Then proceed to help Triss.

A cut scene plays, and we see Vesemir and Ciri trying to get to safety, but, unfortunately, Vesemir is impaled by the Wild Hunt warriors. This triggers Ciri’s powers, and the Wild Hunt is unable to withstand it, so they flee into their portals.

We are now left with our heroes grieving the loss of their friend Vesemir. During the funeral, you may opt to talk with each character before talking to Avallac’h.

Blood on the Battlefield

Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Triss, and Avallac’h hold council about defeating the Wild Hunt. Avallac’h and Ciri will train together and learn how to fully control her power. Yennefer and Triss venture out to find the members of the lodge, a guild of sorceresses.

In the meantime, distract Ciri from thinking about the battle, helping her regain her composure and prepare for the training by playing with and defeating her in a snowball game.

Ciri then talks to Geralt about getting to Imlerith on a sabbath. The perfect opportunity to get him as he and his cohorts will be drunk and unprepared.

NASA Reassigns Two Astronauts From Starliner to Crew Dragon

In the wake of delays in the development of the Boeing Starliner, SpaceX is reassigning two of its astronauts from the Starliner to the SpaceX Crew Dragon. Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada will join the Crew-5 mission, which is set to launch in late 2022.

In a blog post on NASA’s website, the space agency cited the need to give Boeing extra time to develop the Starliner while also enabling their astronauts to gain valuable spaceflight experience as part of preparations for future NASA missions. Astronauts Butch Wilmore, Sunita Williams, and Mike Finck will continue to work with Boeing on the Starliner.

In a statement responding to NASA’s decision, Boeing said, “We fully support NASA’s decisions and remain committed to putting the safety of the astronauts who will fly on our vehicle first.”

So far, SpaceX is the only aerospace company with an operational, crew-rated spacecraft and a contract with the Commercial Crew program, having already completed two flights for NASA with a third still docked to the International Space Station. Boeing had planned to have its Starliner make an uncrewed test flight in August, but it was scrubbed due to issues with the valves in the spacecraft’s propulsion system. It plans to try again in early 2022.

Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin have also flown people to the edge of space with their respective CEOs on board. Blue Origin is currently getting lots of PR out of its plan to fly Star Trek star William Shatner to the edge of space on October 12.

NASA conceived the Commercial Crew program as a response to the ending of the Space Shuttle program so that it could continue to fly its own astronauts to the International Space Station on privately owned spacecraft. SpaceX became the first to fly astronauts to the space station and back during the Demo-2 mission, which launched in May 2020, demonstrated the flightworthiness of the Crew Dragon, and collected data that enabled it to make improvements like shoring up some parts of the heat shield.

Its fourth crewed flight to the International Space Station, Crew-3, is scheduled for October 30. The crew will travel to the International Space Station on a brand-new Crew Dragon named Endurance.

SpaceX’s other flown Crew Dragons have flown at least twice apiece, with the Crew Dragon Resilience having most recently flown for the privately organized Inspiration4 mission. It plans to expand its fleet of Crew Dragons to at least six spacecraft to meet demand for crewed spaceflights from both NASA and private organizations like Axiom Space.

SpaceX often serves as a contractor or subcontractor for NASA, providing launch services for hardware like components for the Lunar Gateway, Europa Clipper, and robotic lunar landers built by companies like Firefly Aerospace for NASA. SpaceX and NASA are currently fighting a court battle against Blue Origin over the awarding of the crewed Artemis lunar lander contract.

SpaceX Now Worth $100 Billion in New Funding Round

SpaceX has closed a new funding round that puts it at a valuation of $100 billion. The reports of the new valuation is based on an agreement between new and existing investors and puts SpaceX among the highest valued privately owned companies.

The agreement raises $755 million at $516 per share in private stock, an increase per share over the $419.99 per share price of SpaceX’s last fundraising round in February, which raised $815 million to develop Starlink and Starship.

According to Forbes, Elon Musk owned 48% of SpaceX before this most recent funding round. As typical for Elon Musk’s companies, SpaceX did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment on this funding round.

Last year, Morgan-Stanley had anticipated that SpaceX could hit a $100 billion valuation based on its ability to land launch contracts. SpaceX currently has contracts to launch components of NASA’s Lunar Gateway and the Jupiter-destined Europa Clipper. It is also making final preparations to launch Crew-3, which will launch NASA astronauts to the International Space Station on a brand-new Crew Dragon that the crew has just named Endurance.

However, the process of landing lucrative contracts has not always been without challenges. Although it recently won a NASA contract to further develop its Starship-based lunar lander, competitor Blue Origin is currently fighting a court battle with NASA, alleging the space agency made errors in its contract award process that unfairly favored SpaceX. SpaceX’s bid had come in at $2.9 billion, far cheaper than Blue Origin’s bid.

SpaceX has contracts with private individuals and businesses, including Axiom Space, which signed a multi-launch deal to launch private crews to the International Space Station. The first couple of missions will be commanded by veteran astronauts Peggy Whitson and Michael López-Alegría. Axiom Space is preparing to provide new inflatable modules for the International Space Station and eventually spin its hardware off into an independent space station.

The dearMoon mission aims to go even further into space with a trip around the Moon organized by Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa. Maezawa aims to fly with a few artists who can capture the experience in various media as early as 2023.

SpaceX also recently launched the successful, privately organized Inspiration4 mission, which raised $200 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The three-day mission is featured in the five-part Netflix documentary Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space. The mission reused the Crew Dragon named Resilience and reportedly suffered only a couple of minor hiccups such as a malfunctioning toilet. Sian Proctor also recently admitted to a minor case of space-sickness during the first couple of days in space.

This level of activity highlights a pent-up demand for private space travel that SpaceX seems to be the readiest to fill. With Inspiration4 and its Commercial Crew contracts with NASA, it already has four successful crewed missions in orbit and to the International Space Station under its belt, as opposed to brief suborbital hops with people on board made by other aerospace companies like Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic.

Elon Musk has also teased the idea of an IPO for the Starlink satellite Internet service, though he said he prefers to wait until revenue from Starlink becomes more predictable. Starlink currently has 500,000 potential customers on its waitlist and president Gwynn Shotwell said that revenue from Starlink could help fund trips to the Moon, which could have been one factor in SpaceX’s new $100 billion valuation.

The Last Wish (Search for the Djinn) in Witcher 3

This side quest unlocks after Geralt and Yennefer discover that Ciri is no longer in Skellige and that Uma, the ugliest man alive, could probably be Ciri or may be the key to finding her. To continue with the quest:

  1. Meet with Yennefer in Larvik.
  2. She seeks your help with finding & capturing a Djinn and that if you agree, she will be waiting by the docks.
  3. You take a boat and sail away to find the shipwreck that might contain the djinn.
  4. Dive to the bottom of the bay and search for signs of any shipwreck that might lead you to the djinn.
  5. On the second spot, dive down and search the shipwreck.
  6. After that, proceed to the third spot and just before arriving, Geralt and Yennefer will feel something strange about the rock formation.
  7. Geralt dives underwater and notices a crater, as if a meteorite had fallen down on the area. He sees there’s half a ship in the middle of it.
  8. Seeing through Geralt’s eyes, Yennefer immediately identifies that it was caused by teleportation.
  9. After further investigation, Geralt finds a broken seal. Yennefer utters words in elven and confirms that this ship is Amos’.
  10. Get back to the boat to give Yennefer the broken seal you found underwater.
  11. Yennefer tracks the other half of the seal with magic and teleports to the top of an icy mountain, where the other half of the ship is located.
  12. Get below deck and investigate. Check the bookshelf to find Amos’ body. Search the body to find the other half of the broken seal.
  13. Follow Yennefer to the top deck and attempt to summon the Djinn.
  14. Fight the Djinn to weaken it. Once weakened, Yennefer will then catch it in a sphere.
  15. Now Yennefer offers the Djinn its freedom in exchange for granting the final wish.
  16. After the ordeal, Geralt and Yennefer talk about what happened and if there have been changes between the two of them.
  17. Geralt recalls their encounters from before, but she stops him, saying that they’ll have plenty of time to discuss it after finding Ciri.

Yennefer suspects that she had been bound to Geralt by a spell. She thinks that she and Geralt have always been crossing paths because a mischievous djinn may have bound them together. That it manipulated their feelings for each other, and, no matter the circumstances, they always end up together.

To know for sure that what they have between them is pure love and not a spell cast by a djinn, she ventures to seek another djinn and make a wish of severing their bond.

However, there seemed to have been no effect after her wish was granted. Yennefer and Geralt professed their affection for each other, and they took some quiet time enjoying the view of the mountains together before teleporting back to her cabin in Kaer Trolde harbor.

The Isle of Mists Part 1 in Witcher 3

Before arriving at the Isle of Mists to find Ciri, Geralt must first search for allies to help fight against the Wild Hunt. The other Witchers and Sorceresses are at Kaer Morhen, preparing for what is to happen next.

Geralt visits old friends, allies, and foes to ensure victory in the possible Wild Hunt attack to increase their chances of defeating the Wild Hunt.

Brothers In Arms – Nilfgaard

Left without a choice, Geralt appears before Emhyr var Emreis to seek help protecting Ciri at Kaer Morhen. Geralt tells Emhyr that he was out to get Ciri then bring her to the Witchers Keep. Emhyr objects and insists that he be the one to take care of her daughter.

Geralt persuades him to reconsider how dangerous the Wild Hunt can be for his men and that Vizima will turn into ruins once the Wild Hunt succeeds with its mission. Emhyr agrees to send troops towards Kaer Morhen on the condition that General Voorhis leads his army.

To much dismay, Geralt disagrees with the condition given the bitter history between him and General Voorhis. Unable to agree, Geralt respectfully leaves the chambers.

Brothers In Arms – Novigrad

Following the disappointment at Vizima, Geralt proceeds to speak with Zoltan, Roche, and Djikstra about going to Kaer Morhen to fight with the attacking Wild Hunt.

Remember that the help you will get depends on whether you made them owe a great debt to Geralt. So it’s always better to get on the good side of every character you meet in-game as “what you sow, ye shall reap.”

Brothers In Arms – Skellige

After arriving in the isles of Skellige, our main objective is to meet with Crach an Craite & the Jarls and then Ermion of the druids.

  1. Before going to Crach, talk to Ermion first. Ask for his help with the fight against the Wild Hunt.
  2. Now head to the Kaer Trolde and talk with Crach.
  3. Crach sees Geralt as an adopted son of Skellige. However, he will declined personal attendance at Kaer Morhen. Instead, he gives Geralt a sword, the legendary Winters Blade, a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation.
  4. After receiving the sword, find Cerys at the isle of Svorlag and help her unravel the mystery of Udalryk’s madness.
  5. Proceed to the marked area in the map. Use your Witcher Sense to investigate the tracks and find the unconcious Cerys.
  6. As she wakes up, Cerys tells Geralt why she was inside the house. That she was looking for the Uldaryk’s ancestral sword Brokvar. She proceeds to narrate the story about Udalryk and his brother Aki who went overboard during a storm.

Possession

After talking to Cerys about the ill fate of Aki and the curse that has plagued Udalryk, Geralt is now tasked to find the sword named Brokvar.

  1. Go back inside the burned down house and search the rooms to find a key to the cellar.
  2. The key can be found in the first room on the stone wall.
  3. Use that key to open the cellar located further to the right of the main door.
  4. Enter the cellar and use your Witcher Sense to find the table where sword is. Upon picking up the sword, a mysterious figure appears from the shadows.
  5. Tell Cerys that you found the sword. Then make your way towards Udalryk’s home.
  6. Geralt talks to Jarl Udalryk about the voices Uldaryk has been hearing. That it has nothing to do with the gods, rather it was his conscience telling him that he was the cause of Aki’s death.
  7. Take the sword and place it near Aki’s bones underwater.
  8. Upon your return, it is reported that Udalryk has been commanded by the so called gods to poke out his eye.
  9. Geralt identifies the true cause of Udalryk’s madness. He tells Cerys that a Hym has been able to latch into Udalryk, feeding off of his pain and fueling the guilty conscience.
  10. Both hatch a plan to lure out the hym using two methods. First, by pretending to do an evil deed so it would leave the host and latch onto you. Second, is to spend the night in the hym’s lair (the burned down house) with the affected individual.
  11. Spending the night in the hym’s lair is not quite as challenging so we took the first option, tricking it so it would move on to another host. But once it finds out that it had been tricked, the hym will leave the host and disappear. You’ll have to use your Witcher Sense and examine the chimney.
  12. To trick the hym, enter the rooms and look for a cradle. Then go outside and talk to Cerys.
  13. Cerys’ plan was to kidnap Udalryk’s baby. You then have to choose whether to return the baby to Udalryk or place the baby inside the oven.
  14. Choose option two and put the baby in the oven and defeat Udalryk’s men.
  15. During the battle, Udalryk would have the time to retrieve the child and seeing it was unharmed, Geralt and Cerys explain that everything was necessary to get rid of the hym.

After the cut scene, the quest is then completed and unlocks the King’s Gambit. We will then have to talk to Crach about choosing the rightful successor to the throne.

Ugly Baby (Uma) in Witcher 3

After your encounter with Skjall back at Freya’s garden in Skellige, you return to Velen and get Uma from the baron at Crow’s Perch. You and Yennefer conclude that Uma, the ugliest man alive, is the key to finding Ciri and that Uma may be Ciri.

  1. Talk to the Baron’s sergeant about taking Uma to Kaer Morhen.
  2. Get Uma from the stables and travel with him to Vizima.
  3. Meet with Emhyr var Emreis and Yennefer. Present to them Uma and tell them that he is either the key to finding Ciri, or he may very well be Ciri herself.
  4. Geralt recites the spell used on Uma. Yennefer hatches a plan to find out who Uma really is.
  5. Yennefer then suggests that Uma be taken to Kaer Morhen. She intends to use the ritual of the witchers to restore Uma to his or her original form.
  6. After arriving at Kaer Morhen, talk to Lambert and accompany him to the Circle of Elements to recharge the phylactery.

The Final Trial

You and Lambert talk and catch up. It appears that Yennefer had requested him to take the phylactery to the Circle of Elements to recharge it. Lambert then recalls that the trek was hard and that having someone along is better than going alone.

  1. Follow Lambert towards the docks.
  2. You will have to find the missing boat. The wind may have caught the sail and the rope become untethered.
  3. After finding the boat, sail across the lake and enter the cave. Use the cat potion to see better in the dark.
  4. Use Aard to pulverize the boulder.
  5. Tread carefully on this part of the cave to avoid waking Old Speartip.
  6. As you exit the cave, you’ll meet three rock trolls. Talk to them peacefully to avoid a fight.
  7. To gain their trust, as you proceed to the Circle of Elements, leave your swords with them.
  8. At the Circle of Elements, place the phylactery at the altar and light the four torches that surround it.
  9. Talk with Lambert and catch up some more while awaiting for the phylactery to recharge.
  10. After a while, take back the phylactery and head back to the fortress.

Disturbance

After helping Lambert, proceed to help Yennefer fix the megascopes that have been blowing out. She suspects that something inside the castle is disrupting her magic.

  1. Use the Potestaquisitor to detect and find the disturbances.
  2. The device gets warmer and warmer as you get close to these crates.
  3. Vesemir tells you that the crates contain dimiritium bombs that Lambert made.
  4. Watch over Uma as Vesemir takes the crates outside.
  5. Go tell Yennefer about the crates and that Vesemir took care of them.
  6. Now that there no more disturbances, the megascope is working properly. You then make contact with an Elven Sage and ask her about Uma’s curse.
  7. The sage further implies the effects of Ithlinne’s prophecy. Talk to Yennefer, then go find and help Eskel.

To Bait A Forktail

This quest can get confusing and may prompt a quick check on the maps. But you will never see other markers outside Kaer Morhen’s map for this one. To find Eskel:

  1. Get to near the sign post outside the castle. Use your Witcher Sense to find tracks that could lead you to finding where Eskel is. This immediately unlocks the quest.
  2. After following the horse trail, check the base of this tree. You will find a clump of goat hair. Use it to follow the scent and see where it leads you.
  3. Get to the top of the hill to find the goat and lure out Eskel.
  4. The forktail arrives to take the goat. Kill the forktail.
  5. You have badly injured the forktail but was able to fly away. Follow the trail of blood that leads into a cave.
  6. Finally, find the forktail and kill it for good. Then collect it’s spinal fluid for the ritual Yennefer will be doing on Uma and return to Kaer Morhen.

After all the trouble you’ve been through, you now gather inside the castle to prepare for the ritual. However, Lambert gets furious after discovering that the ritual they are preparing for is the Witcher Trials.

Yennefer explains that only the first half of the trial will be applied to Uma, yet not everyone agrees on the method. Vesemir suggests a less invasive method, and Yennefer agrees to give it a try and delays the ritual.

You take the night off to rest after a grueling day. If you can get on Yennefer’s good side, she will present you with an opportunity for another “romance” inside the castle.

No Place Like Home

After some time with Yennefer, Geralt goes back down and drinks with Lambert and Eskel. All of them get drunk and talk about their experiences inside and outside Kaer Morhen.

Day of the Trial

Vesemir’s method did not work on Uma. It is now up to Yennefer to proceed with the ritual. She explains that the trial potions need to be freshly made as it is highly reactive.

  1. Lambert is to prepare the apparatuses.
  2. Eskel is to get more alcohol to disinfect the tools.
  3. Geralt is to brew the decoctions.
  4. Vesemir applies hookweed extract to Uma as an anesthetic.
  5. After some time Yennefer prepares to reform Uma’s body as it disintegrate from the inside.
  6. As it turns out Uma wasn’t Ciri, but the sage Avallac’h. He was the one helping Ciri escape the Wild Hunt.
  7. He then tells you that Ciri is in Skellige. However, she has been cloaked by magic and is hidden in the isle of mists. To get to her, you will need to follow the wisp. This would also mean that she can then be detected by the Wild Hunt.

When Ciri is found, she needs to be taken into Kaer Morhen immediately. Along the way to Skellige, Geralt is to visit some of his friends to rally them to the Witcher’s Castle to prepare for the Wild Hunt’s imminent attack.

Tesla Moves Headquarters From California to Texas

Tesla is moving its headquarters to Austin, Texas. The move was announced by Musk during the annual shareholder meeting on Thursday.

Tesla’s move follows a wave of tech companies that are moving their headquarters out of California. Oracle and Hewlett Packard moved their headquarters last year. Fintech company PayCertify also announced plans to move from San Jose to Reno, Nevada. Some observers have blamed high taxes and state policies that are unfriendly toward businesses.

Musk himself hinted that Austin could become “America’s next boom town” due to Texas’ more business-friendly environment, though he was quick to shoot down a suggestion that he liked Texas’ social policies in the wake of the state’s controversial abortion ban. He also previously called for the development of more housing in the Austin area in response to soaring property values as more people move to the city.

Elon Musk was one of the few to hint that California’s response to COVID-19 was a factor in so many tech companies leaving the state. In last year’s fight with California over its response to COVID-19, which forced Tesla to temporarily close its factory in Fremont, Musk did threaten to pull Tesla’s headquarters out of the state. He referred to California’s stay-at-home order an “unconstitutional” form of mass house arrest, hinting that state- and county-level officials had become too authoritarian.

During the annual meeting, Musk denied that the move of Tesla’s headquarters was sparked by past disputes with the state of California, which caused him to move out of the state and sell his homes. Rather, the goal is to, as he said, “increase output” in the wake of a streak of company record-setting quarters for electric vehicle deliveries. Most recently, Tesla delivered 241,300 vehicles in Q3 2021.

Tesla is currently in the process of constructing a Gigafactory in Travis County, where Austin is located. The Gigafactory could start manufacturing the highly anticipated Cybertruck, along with the Model Y, once it is complete.

It did plan to manufacture Tesla Semis at Gigafactory Austin, but it is not confirmed whether it will move forward with those plans at least until issues with the supply chain is resolved. There are some signs that it is developing the capacity to manufacture the Tesla Semi in Nevada. However, Musk recently announced that the Tesla Semi will be delayed until 2022 to allow more time to resolve the supply chain problems.

Elon Musk’s other companies are ramping up activity in the Austin area across the board. SpaceX is also constructing a facility that could produce the next-generation Starlink satellites that the company recently filed for regulatory approval for. The Boring Company has previously expressed interest in constructing a tunnel that will make commuting between downtown Austin and Tesla’s Gigafactory easier for the thousands of employees that Tesla plans to hire for the factory.

With all this activity, you can be sure that Elon Musk’s companies are on a hiring spree in the Austin area. Tesla anticipates hiring as many as 10,000 people at Gigafactory Austin alone. Job opportunities can be found on SpaceX’s career page, Tesla’s career page, and the Boring Company’s career page.

How to Complete Wild at Heart in Witcher 3

This quest is unlocked when you visit the Crows Perch Boards. This is a contract to find a missing woman. To continue with the quest:

  1. Visit Niellen in his hut.
  2. Agree to look for Hannah.
  3. Ask the neighbors about Niellen’s wife.
  4. Some children saw Hannah leave with a woman. They were last seen headed into the forest.
  5. As you arrive, use your Witcher Sense to find clues.
  6. Look around some more until you find a tuft of fur. Follow its scent leading you deep into the woods.
  7. You will come across shredded clothing without a blood. Further away, you will see a cabin.
  8. Enter the cabin to investigate and find other clues.
  9. Find a way to get underneath the cabin. Open the door using Aard sign. Use cat potion to see in the dark and defeat the werewolf.
  10. You’ll find out that Niellen is the werewolf and that he was the one who killed her wife, Hannah. However, the incident was put in motion because Hannah’s sister was jealous of her. She wanted Niellen even though she’d known all along about him being a werewolf, so she brought Hannah during a time when Niellen was to transform into a werewolf.

When Niellen found out about it, he told his sister-in-law that he would kill her willingly because of what she had done. You will now decide whether to allow Niellen to kill her or to let her go.

Whichever choice you make, the ending is still the same. Niellen had lived a cursed life and had lost his wife when he transformed into a werewolf. He dies at Geralt’s hand, ending the terror which he might bring into his village.

  1. Enter the Passiflora and talk to Marquise Serenity. Follow her upstairs into a secret room.
  2. We meet with Djikstra and express our decision to join in for the sake of Triss and Yennefer, two mages romantically linked to Geralt.

Redania’s Most Wanted in Witcher 3

This quest is unlocked just after Geralt and Vernon Roche meet with King Radovid at the Chess Club. Radovid spoke about chess as the game of kings and recalled his encounter with Geralt during their previous meeting at Oxenfurt. First was their actual game of chess. Second, by treating Geralt like a pawn he could send out to do his bidding.

Radovid’s requested move was for Geralt to take the sorceress Philippa Eilhart. The king’s spies had reported of the sorceress’ presence in the elven ruins outside of Novigrad. Geralt resisted the attempts, but he owed Radovid a favor, so he had no other choice until he talked with Triss Merigold, who gave him another reason to pursue Philippa.

  1. After meeting with Radovid, visit the ruins and talk to the witch hunters.
  2. Get the piece of tile from the witch hunters.
  3. Enter the crevasse and look for the sealed door.
  4. Facing the sealed door, check your right side wall. There will be an empty slot. Examine it and place the tile you got from the witch hunters.
  5. Proceed inside and use the portal to go further in.
  6. Use the Aard sign to charge and activate crystals. The charged crystals will provide power for the portals.
  7. After entering the reopened portal, Geralt meets with a trapped witch hunter. Collect from him another crystal to proceed further inside the hideout.

  13. Here we will find a polished crystal.Make it a habit to check and investigate everything.
  14. Get out of the cave and, when confronted by the witch hunters, lie to them about what you found. Choose the first option and don’t tell them anything.
  15. Talk to Triss about the crystal. Tell her that you were offered a contract by Radovid. And that you took the contract to find Philippa first and understand why she’s being hunted.
  16. Now proceed to meet with King Radovid and tell him that Philippa is: a. Dead or b. She is attempting to restore her sight. Radovid will be displeased with the report using either of the answers presented to him.

After talking to Radovid, the quest is completed. However, during Geralt’s visit with Triss, the quest A Matter of Life and Death is unlocked as she receives a letter from Ingrid Vegelbud about her helping the mages escape Novigrad.

  57. Again, follow the sound of music when entering other doors.
  58. Climb up the steps until you reach another hallway.
  59. Now we have two pairs of looping doors. Again, follow the music where you can hear it loud and clear.

  71. Do the same for the third time.
  72. Press Q to call Six. At this point, calling makes Six squirm in pain. Smash the music box two more times to get Six back to normal.
  73. The final chase starts when you get Six back normal. Run towards the exit.

We will leave you here and avoid spoiling the last few scenes of the game. Too many television, increased number of looping doors and excessive running made us exhausted. The final scenes show Mono jumping over and Six awaiting to assist. Moving forward, we will get to know who the thin man is and why Six was abducted.

We invite you to play the game from start to finish. Do check our complete guides for Little Nightmares 2: Out of the Woods, the Orphanage, and the Hospital. It’s been fun playing as Mono and documenting every level.

SpaceX Ready to Launch Crew-3 Mission for NASA

SpaceX is ready to launch the fourth crewed mission for NASA’s Commercial Crew mission, Crew-3. The crew will include NASA astronauts Raja Chari, Thomas Marshburn, and Kayla Barron, as well as European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer.

Crew-3 will be the first crewed NASA mission to be commanded by a first-time astronaut since 1981, when astronaut Joe Engle commanded the Space Shuttle’s STS-2 mission. Raja Chari will command Crew-3.

Inspiration4 was commanded by another rookie, Jared Isaacman, but that was an all-civilian mission not organized by NASA. It was the first of several expected civilian flights organized by private organizations and individuals. These include Axiom Space, which is working with NASA to develop new inflatable modules for the International Space Station and will eventually build its own space station, and Yusaku Maezawa’s dearMoon mission, which will fly an all-civilian crew of mostly artists in a trip around the Moon.

Thomas Marshburn is making his third spaceflight with Crew-3, during which he will serve as the Crew Dragon’s Pilot, having previously flown on STS‐127 in July 2009 and the International Space Station’s Expedition 34/35 increment from December 2012 to May 2013. Kayla Barron and Matthias Maurer are both first-time astronauts, serving as Mission Specialists on Crew-3.

SpaceX has already flown four crewed missions with the Crew Dragon spacecraft model, including the Inspiration4 mission. It previously launched the Demo-2, Crew-1, and Crew-2 missions for NASA. The Crew-2 Crew Dragon, Endeavour, is still docked to the International Space Station.

The Crew Dragon for the Crew-3 mission will be flying for the first time. It will reuse a Falcon 9 booster that was previously used to launch CRS-22, a cargo delivery mission to the International Space Station with an upgraded solar array and valuable life science experiments on board, in June. The CRS-22 Cargo Dragon recently undocked from the International Space Station to return to Earth and make room for Crew-3.

This Crew Dragon doesn’t have a name yet, though the European Space Agency has already dubbed Matthias Maurer’s flight “Cosmic Kiss” as part of its tradition of naming individual astronauts’ missions. The previously flown Crew Dragons have been named Endeavour and Resilience by the first crews to fly on each respective spacecraft.

The Crew-3 Crew Dragon is currently undergoing final assembly and testing, accounting for issues experienced by the Inspiration4 crew, which apparently included a faulty toilet fan and a malfunctioning backup temperature sensor on one of the Draco thruster. The Crew-3 astronauts have also gone into pre-mission quarantine to avoid illness, a NASA tradition that dates back to the 1960s and reports of astronauts suffering vicious colds during at least one Apollo mission, which was reportedly one factor that negatively impacted crew performance.

Crew-3 is slated to launch on October 30 at 2:43 am EDT. The crew will spend six months on the International Space Station as part of a seven-person crew once they dock with its Harmony module. Their mission will briefly overlap with Crew-2, which will depart shortly after a handover period that will transition the station crew from Expedition 66 to Expedition 67.

Tesla Reports Delivery of 241,300 Vehicles in Q3 2021

Tesla has beat analysts’ expectations with the delivery of 241,300 vehicles in Q3 2021. This is 102,000 more vehicles than Tesla delivered in the same quarter of 2020 and a strong showing for the company amid an overall drop in the sales reports of the entire automotive industry.

By way of comparison, longstanding vehicle maker General Motors reports that it sold 446,997 vehicles in Q3 2021, 33 percent less than it did during the same quarter in 2020.

The weak sales can be explained by issues with the supply chain of big automakers, especially the shortage of semiconductor chips needed for the electronic components of modern vehicles. Tesla has made do with using different semiconductors and rewriting software to make it work. It has also considered taking extra steps to secure a supply of semiconductor chips, including floating the possibility of acquiring a semiconductor chip manufacturer or paying in advance for chips.

Tesla is especially continuing to spin up its manufacturing capability, including recently breaking ground on a battery manufacturing facility in California. It is continuing to make progress on a manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas, that will product the Cybertruck and Tesla Semi. Despite frustrations with Germany’s regulatory approval process and environmentalists who have filed legal challenges in German courts, Tesla expects to open its Gigafactory Berlin as early as this month so that it can start moving away from exporting vehicles from China for the European market.

Investors have been a mixed bag when it comes to Tesla’s stock lately despite a strong 2020 for the stock and a string of record-setting quarters for deliveries. Ark Invest recently sold $605 million in shares and some investors have made note of increasing competition in the electric vehicle niche from companies like Lucid Motors.

However, other investors are not ignoring the increase in the company’s increasing manufacturing capacity or regulatory requirements set by some countries like the UK and U.S. states like California to phase out the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2030. Tesla is still regarded as an early mover and the only company that is actively and exclusively manufacturing electric vehicles.

Tesla was among the first to manufacture charging stations for electric vehicles and recently announced plans to open its Superchargers up to vehicles manufactured by other automakers with the use of an adapter. It is also working on a global series of solar powered charging stations as part of its push to support the movement to move away from fossil fuels and toward green energy sources.

Can Tesla continue its upward streak? It has gotten some bad PR in the form of investigations into safety complaints by regulators like the NHTSA. The reliability of its Full Self-Driving and Autopilot driver assist software has especially been called into question after a handful of accidents that involved emergency vehicles over the course of a few years despite repeated disclaimers that drivers shouldn’t get complacent while using Tesla’s driver assist software. However, it still has the advantage of being an early mover in the electric vehicle niche and being a widely recognized EV manufacturer.

Federal Judge Closes Nikola’s Lawsuit Against Tesla

A federal judge for the Northern District Court of California has administratively closed Nikola’s patent lawsuit against Tesla, claiming lack of communication from both companies and especially Nikola. The lawsuit sought $2 billion, alleging that Tesla infringed on patents related to the design of Nikola’s hydrogen-fueled big rig. The lawsuit also alleges that Tesla attempted to poach key talent away from Nikola.

Outwardly, Nikola’s planned semi truck does look similar to the Tesla Semi. Nikola alleges that Tesla copied the design for the wraparound windshield, mid-entry doors, and aerodynamic fuselage, which the plaintiff says could cause “confusion in the market” and cost Nikola billions of dollars in sales.

Nikola has faced its share of problems, including a fraud investigation targeting founder and former CEO Trevor Milton, who is accused of fraudulently short selling research firm Hidenberg Research. Milton is also accused of faking a marketing video that claims to show Nikola’s big rig driving, though some say that it is just rolling down a hill. He denies the allegations, though he is currently in custody.

The allegations may have been a factor in the derailment of a deal in which General Motors would have bought a minority stake in Nikola. The deal had gotten as far as a highly publicized Memorandum of Understanding. Nikola had also signed a deal with General Motors for batteries, fuel cells, and manufacturing.

The lawsuit was originally filed in 2018 and the two companies spent three years tangled up in disputes over which patents were even in question. Tesla once even claimed that Nikola copied some design elements from Croatian automaker Rimac Automobili. Tesla has also disputed the legitimacy of some claims with the U.S. Patent and Copyright Office, though that dispute fell through.

Tesla has further said that there is “no merit in this lawsuit.” In response to other lawsuits against Tesla, Elon Musk has said that he isn’t afraid to fight lawsuits against his companies that he believes to be a blatant cash grab in court. One of the most blatant cash grabs was a lawsuit filed by a Tesla owner who had fallen asleep at the wheel and fatally struck a bicyclist.

Nikola claimed that Tesla’s attempt to poach its chief engineer was evidence that its rival intended to copy its semi truck design.

The Northern District Court of California says that Nikola has until October 6 to send a written response explaining why its case against Tesla should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Judge James Donato says Nikola simply “dropped the ball” with this lawsuit, leaving it to languish “without explanation or apparent good cause.” This could mean a sorry end for a legal action that has been quite contentious for the two rival companies for three straight years.

Neither Nikola nor Tesla have responded to media requests for comment about the closing of the lawsuit. Nikola says that it could start producing its truck by early next year. According to Elon Musk, Tesla may begin manufacturing the Semi sometime next year and the holdup is its ability to produce battery cells that is suitable for use in the Semi.

How to Complete the Quest A Tower Full of Mice in Witcher 3

The quests starts as An Invitation from Keira Metz. Upon arriving at her hut, we see her talking to a figure, almost like a projection from a lamp. If you remember the Family Matters quest, this was the same lamp we helped her get after we Wandered In The Dark.

  1. To proceed with the quest, we need to find a way to get to Fyke Isle.
  2. This time, let us try to get there using a boat.
  3. As soon as we arrive, we are immediately greeted by monsters. Make sure to have brought your sharpened blades.
  4. Before entering the tower, make sure to use your Witcher Sense and investigate to search for clues and surprises.
  5. Once inside the tower, immediately use the lamp to cast its light and reveal the ghosts. The light from the lamp exposes them and somewhat recalls what had previously transpired before their demise.
  6. Get to the basement and investigate more.
  7. Now move to the second floor to investigate. (Tip: Don’t overuse the Cat Potion)
  8. As you climb up to the third floor, you will see the ghost of Annabelle leading you. Search the floor to find out what has happened.
  9. Proceed to the next level and find Alexander’s laboratory.
  10. Use your Witcher Sense to find clues about a hidden door.
  11. Interact with the lever to open the hidden door and discover Alexander’s laboratory.
  12. After reaching the laboratory, Annabelle’s ghost finally asks you some questions and then tells her story. Make sure to search the laboratory before leaving.
  13. Take Annabelle’s remains to Graham. He’s located at a hut in Oreton, just north of Fyke Isle.
  14. As soon as you leave the hut, Graham shouts in horror. You then enter only to find Annabelle as a pesta and Graham dead on the floor.
  15. Report back to Keira and tell her the curse on the isle has been lifted, and that Annabelle turned into a pesta and killed Graham.

A Favor For A Friend

  1. After reporting to Keira about lifting the curse at Fyke Isle, She then asks for you to find her missing ingredients.
  2. Locate the Merchant here and obtain the missing letter.
  3. You will find the missing package under the cart.
  4. Now get the package and return it to Keira.
  5. After the cut scenes, you will have to race with her in the meadow.
  6. Whilst you were dining in the woods, Keira disappears. Use your Witcher Sense to track her.
  7. She will be waiting for you in the nearby lake. The outcome of your conversation will depend on the reponses from your previous conversations.
  8. If you did good, you’ll find yourself…(we’ll let you figure it out)
  9. Then you wake up alone by the lake, looking towards the tower. And the quest completed.

For the Advancement of Learning

After waking up alone by the lake, Geralt looks at the distant tower of Fyke Isle. This quest has been unlocked and is ready for completion. To do this:

  1. Get to the tower and meet with Keira.
  2. Talk to her until you find out what her motives are.
  3. Being a witch, revealing her to King Radovid will surely mean death for her. As with the Pyre’s of Novigrad, witches have been burned at the stake. So you invite her to Kaer Morhen and offer safety for her.
  4. The quests ends and Keira enters a portal and disappears.

After this, we won’t be seeing Keira for a while. We will reunite with her, along with the others when we get back to Kaer Morhen after finding all the pieces that will lead to Ciri’s whereabouts.

SpaceX to Launch Fuel Depot Into Space

Orbit Fab has tapped SpaceX to launch the first propellant depot in space as part of a rideshare that also includes the second of Intuitive Machines’ series of lunar landers. The depot, officially called Tanker-002, will be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket and maneuver close to a geostationary orbit around Earth.

Tanker-002 follows Orbit Fab’s successful launch of a propellant depot into low Earth orbit. This depot is designed to refuel satellites with its specially designed Rapidly Attachable Fluid Transfer Interface (RAFTI).

CEO Daniel Faber said in a press release issued by Orbit Fab, “Our robust RAFTI [the Rapidly Attachable Fluid Transfer Interface] system was designed to refuel large US Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and commercial assets in geostationary orbit, so commencing operations in this orbit will be an important milestone for us. This GEO tanker will have the capability to store propellant for up to 15 years, though of course we provide the fuel that satellites need, where and when they need it.”

Previous proposals for a refueling station in space included some preliminary plans to make NASA’s Lunar Gateway capable of refueling spacecraft that are on their way to other parts of the solar system. This plan has fallen by the wayside partly due to lack of funding and partly due to an upswing of attention paid to the potential benefits of In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU). ISRU could reduce the costs of crewed missions to other planets like Mars by reducing the need to ship resources like rocket fuel to distant destinations and also potentially eliminate the need for a refueling station in lunar orbit.

Satellites in Earth orbit are typically limited to the fuel that they have on board when they launch. A series of propellant depots could expand the lifespan of satellites that are outfitted with the equipment needed to effectively top off their gas tanks.

According to Orbit Fab officials, Tanker-002 will actually reside a few hundred kilometers away from a true geostationary orbit when not in use in order to avoid cluttering up the geostationary zone. It may be capable of maneuvering to a satellite that needs refueling. A geostationary orbit requires an altitude of 35,768 kilometers, positioned above Earth’s equator, in order to perfectly match Earth’s rotation and stay above the same geographic location on Earth.

Communication satellites are typically placed in geostationary orbits, Starlink being one notable exception. SpaceX chose to place its thousands of Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit to reduce latency, or the response time of a signal, as part of its efforts to make Starlink competitive against other satellite Internet services and even some “land line” broadband services. Other uses for satellites in a geostationary orbit include meteorology and navigation.

Tanker-002 is slated to launch in late 2022 or early 2023. Once launched, it will maneuver into position using one of Spaceflight Inc’s Sherpa-ES tugs.

Orbit Fab is financially backed by some of the heavy hitters in the aerospace industry, including Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. This company has also made the finals in Tech Crunch’s Startup Battlefield. It refers to its planned series of propellant depots in orbit as the Gas Stations in SpaceTM depots.

A Complete Guide to Out of the Hospital in Little Nightmares 2

Just when finally got out of the orphanage, we again find ourselves inside a hospital. This level will require courage and is not for the faint of heart. We will be treading in the dark and if you are feeling adventurous, then please wear headphones.

  36. Enter the cadaver cabinet and have Six push it in so you can get through the other side.
  37. Jump and grab to pull it out.
  38. Climb up the cadavers to get to the key.
  39. You may now open the locked door on Six’s side of the room.
  40. Now crouch under the tables to hide from the doctor.
  41. Avoid waking the patient. Climb up until you get to the ceiling.
  42. Jump and grab hold of the switch. This will alarm the doctor, so you need to hide under the bed.

Tesla Adds Required Safety Test to Use Full Self-Driving

Following a string of regulators and Tesla vehicle owners expressing concern about the Autopilot and Full Self-Driving software, Tesla is adding a driving safety test to Full Self-Driving. Drivers will be required to pass a seven-day driver evaluation test in order to use the software. This requirement is being rolled out with FSD Beta Version 10.1, which the company says also includes improvements over previous versions like Version 9.2, which even Elon Musk admitted was embarrassingly full of bugs.

The United States’ NHTSA has especially expressed concern about the safety of Tesla’s driver assist programs after a few accidents involving a Tesla vehicle with Autopilot activated and an emergency vehicle. Members of Congress have also requested that the FTC to investigate Tesla’s claims about the Autopilot, which even some of Tesla’s software engineers have admitted are exaggerated in communications with California’s DMV.

Elon Musk did recently admit that he had Tesla prioritize development for Autopilot after an accident involving a Tesla vehicle that killed a bicyclist. According to court documents in a lawsuit filed against Tesla, the driver admitted to having fallen asleep at the wheel. The case was, of course, quickly dismissed, but especially highlighted statistics compiled by the NHTSA itself showing that driver error is a factor in an estimated 94% of vehicle crashes.

Tesla’s Autopilot has since demonstrated the capacity to safely pull over to the side of the road in a real-world driving environment if it detects that the driver has lost consciousness. Tesla’s internal sensors can sometimes be fooled with strategic placement of a few weights on the driver’s seat and the wheel, but it recently activated a camera mounted to the rear-view mirror in order to track driver alertness (and, of course, detect whether the driver is even in the front seat).

Musk did recently admit that developing fully capable self-driving software is more difficult than he had initially thought. For this reason, Tesla has repeatedly issued warnings that drivers should not become complacent when using its driver assist programs. However, Musk seems unwilling to give up on the idea of bringing Autopilot, Full Self-Driving, or both up to Level 5 on the SAE’s scale of autonomous vehicles. This would require the software to be able to handle most driving situations and require user input no more than once every million miles driven.

The new driver evaluation requirement will add a new layer of safety (and possibly reduce Tesla’s exposure to liability) by reminding drivers to avoid becoming complacent while using Full Self-Driving. The test includes a measure of variables the frequency of hard braking and aggressive turning, which can be measured by sensors in the vehicle. According to updated information on Tesla’s website, the data will be compiled into a “safety score” that measures the likelihood that driver behavior will contribute to a future collision.

Tesla has not yet said whether consumers can lose access to Full Self-Driving if their safety score falls below a certain level after the initial seven-day evaluation. Although Musk has stated that his goal is to get Full Self-Driving to the point where it could manage a fleet of autonomous “Robotaxis,” that is still likely to be quite a way off.

Gwent Cards: Collect ‘Em All in Witcher 3

Before Gwent became a standalone multiplayer game, it first came out as a past time for Geralt and other known characters of Witcher 3. It is an ancient dwarven game that simulates the clash of two armies in battle. Both you and your opponent act as generals with your cards as your forces. The stronger cards you have, the better your chances of winning are.

Both Powerful and lesser cards can be obtained by:

  1. Purchase from Vendors.
  2. Defeat challengers to receive cards as rewards (Zoltan Chivay card).
  3. Bonus rewards after completing gwent quests.

Earlier in the game, you are challenged to play gwent.

Gwent Cards

Cards display their strength, position on the battlefield, and their special abilities. The first and last attribute determine your chances of winning against your opponent.

Card TypeBattlefield LocationWeakness
Close CombatPlaced on the first line.Weather Card – Biting Frost
Range CombatPlaced on the second lineWeather Card -Impenetrable Fog and Skillege Storm
Siege CombatPlaced on the third lineWeather Card -Torrential Rain

The Clear Weather card is used to clear out all weather effects and thereby restoring your troops’ total strength.

Battlefield

The battlefield is divided into two. Yours and the opponent’s side.Each player will take turns in placing their troops (cards) on their respective field or pass and not place any card. Both players will have leaders which grant special abilities when used during battles. Leaders determine which faction and card deck you are using. Activate that ability by pressing X. Your deck is found on the bottom right corner and your opponents deck is found at the top right.

Playing Gwent

  1. A coin is tossed to determine who will play first. If not, a challenger will decide who gets to play first.
  2. Both players will need to draw 10 cards from the deck. You may also choose two cards to redraw before the game starts.
  3. Now that you have ten cards on hand, the round starts. Both sides of the battlefield are empty at the moment. You’ll need to pick a card from your hand and put it down on the battlefield.
  4. As your first card is laid on the field, your turn ends.
  5. To your left is the Strength indicator. It is the total strength of your cards laid out on the battlefield.
  6. Your opponent places a card on the field, and their turn ends.
  7. Total Strength increases as you add more card on the battlefield.
  8. Weather Effect cards can affect your Total Strength, either increasing or decreasing them.
  9. If you no longer wish to place a card on the field, press and hold Spacebar to Pass.
  10. Based on the Total Strength, if yours is lower than that of your opponent, then you’ll lose the round and you loose a life gem.

Not Enough Cards

Winning is every games objective. Winning will reward you a random card from a random faction (most of the time), and if you lose a game, you keep your cards & lose some coin.

Keep your eyes peeled for vendors and traveling merchants that have gwent cards available in their stash. Earn as much gold as you can to be able to purchase them, and talk with NPC’s whenever possible to be able to check if they have gwent cards available.

We hope to have helped you understand gwent and it sure is more fun playing it than just reading about. If this article roused your gwent enthusiasm then let us know by leaving a comment below.

How To Find Feed the Puppy Side Quest & Harvest Sakura Bloom in Genshin Impact

As I was running around, getting things done for the Archon Quest: The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia, I stumbled upon a side quest (more like a daily quest, judging by the quest icon). It’s rather common for most games to have included side quests popup along the way as you go out and about.

Feed the Puppy Quest

To complete this quest:

  1. Visit this area in the map of Inazuma.
  2. Get near the feeding plate to interact.
  3. Make sure to already have Fowl in your bag.
  4. After you place the Fowl on the plate, the quest is immediately completed. And you’ll receive the following rewards:
Companionship EXP +15
Mora x 1449
Mystic Enhancement Ore x 1
Enhancement Ore x 1

This quest wasn’t included in the list of my daily’s earlier, however as I came close to the area it immediately activated the quest.

Harvesting Sakura Bloom

You may have seen them, pink petals floating in clusters, and wonder what are they? What are they for and how will you get them. At least that’s what I thought when I first saw Sakura Blooms when my character entered Inazuma.

They are local specialty items and can only be found in Inazuma, along with many others that were included in the release of version 2.0 & 2.1 of the game.

To harvest Sakura Blooms:

  1. You’ll need to have a character with an Electro element. (I currently have Razor and Fischl, but I’ll use Razor since he’s already in my party)
  2. If you don’t have one in your party then check this out before proceeding.
  3. As you get closer the cluster starts to scatter. You may do the following:
    Device Normal Attack Charged Attack / Elemental Skill Special Attack / Elemental Burst
    PC Left Mouse Button Press E or Press and Hold E, for Bow user Press R Press Q
    Playstation Press Circle Press R2 Button Press Triangle
    Smartphone Tap the largest button you can find on the right    
  4. After that, these scattered petals are then compressed into a lump and will now be available for harvest.

No Electro Element Character?

Alright, so you played the game for free and had no luck getting Electro element characters on your own. Let us remind you that your initial character, the Traveler, is a chameleon when it comes to resonating with elements.

To do this:

  1. Visit the Statue of Seven in Inazuma using the Traveler character.
  2. Press F to interact with the Statue. (Check out the skills used. Notice that the initial element used is Anemo.)
  3. Select Resonate with Electro.
  4. And there you go. You now have an Electro element character.

Sakura Blooms are found scattered all over Inazuma. It’s always best to gather them whenever possible. You’ll thank us later for this tip. It’s not like you’re hoarding anyway. Do it with everything you see in-game, this will make things easier in the long run.

Also, there are instances that you will need to resonate with Anemo or Geo in order to complete tasks that are a bit out of reach. You’ll get it when the timing is right.

But for now, let us know what you think by leaving a comment below.

Elon Musk Now “Semi-Separated” From Grimes

Elon Musk announced that he is now “semi-separated” from his girlfriend of three years, Grimes, although they will still co-parent their one-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii Musk. Musk cited their seemingly separate lives now that Musk has moved from California from Texas as a primary factor in the decision.

“It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room,” he told the news outlet Page Six.

They were last seen together at the Met Gala earlier this month, during which Grimes walked the red carpet solo in a silver-and-white ensemble with matching silver mask and a sword prop. Grimes is a musician and Elon Musk, of course, is the CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and the Boring Company.

Although, according to Musk, they still love one another and will sometimes see one another, it may be that not everything is as rosy as it might look from the outside looking in. Elon Musk is known as a workaholic and a demanding boss who spends most of his time either at SpaceX or Tesla facilities or traveling around the world on seemingly endless business trips.

Grimes had previously griped that she had “sacrificed her power” to be with Musk and, behind the scenes, may have expressed annoyance at Musk’s move away from California over his battle against the state over its response to COVID-19. Her family has also criticized Musk for some of his tweets while Grimes was recovering after the birth of their son. X Æ A-Xii is Grimes’ first child and Musk’s seventh, although he lost his first son to SIDS at the age of ten weeks.

Disagreements also included exactly how to pronounce X Æ A-Xii, a name that they apparently had to modify in order to get it on a Californian birth certificate, which couldn’t support some of the characters in the name. Musk said that the Æ part was pronounced “Ash” and says that the name was inspired by favorite airplanes like the SR-71. Grimes, however, had this to say:

In the music world, not everybody seemed too sorry about the breakup. Azealis Banks suggested that she and Grimes could finally do what she claims was a planned musical collaboration that got derailed by Musk’s unfriendliness during a 2018 weekend at one of Musk’s properties in California that have since been sold.

Musk denies that he ever even met Banks. Grimes also fired back on Discord that one of her songs, “100% Tragedy,” was “having to defeat Azealia Banks when she tried to destroy my life.” So it may be safe to assume that Grimes won’t be collaborating with Banks anytime soon.

Grimes has not yet responded to requests for comment from the media about her semi-breakup with Musk. She seems to still be living with Musk, possibly until she can make other arrangements. Neither Grimes nor Musk have yet brought up their semi-separation on social media.

How To Complete Cleanup At Dawn II in Genshin Impact

This is part of the Commission Quests that you can take up on a daily basis. There are four of these quests daily and will reward you with Mora, Primogems and many more. However, all Commission Quests are random and thus vary or repeat from day to day. This particular quest is easy. But to the uninitiated, it can be very confusing as to how you will accomplish it. You came here to seek help and that’s just what we offer, so let’s start:

Cleanup At Dawn II

  1. Press M to open your map.
  2. You’ll see the purple marker.
  3. Visit the area where it is located.
  4. Press F and talk to Moco to start the quest.
  5. The instructions tell you to “sweep up the pile of leaves” to do that you’ll need a character that has the Anemo Element.
  6. If you already have an Anemo Element character in your roster then place him/her in your party. Check here to learn how to switch up your party members.
  7. But if you don’t have them yet, then you can use the Traveler and have him wield the Anemo Element by visiting the Statue of Seven in Mondstadt. Teleport to it.
  8. Once there, click F to interact.
  9. Select Resonate with Anemo to obtain the element.
  10. Now return to your quest area.
  11. When you see the first pile of leaves, press E to use normal attack or press and hold E to use charged attack. This blows away the leaves.
  12. Proceed to the second and third pile here. Use your normal or charged attacks to “sweep them”.
  13. Now on to the fourth and fifth pile, do the same.
  14. Once done, return to Moco.
  15. After your conversation with Moco, the Commission Quest is completed.
  16. You are then given the rewards for completing the quest.

By far, we’ve only used Anemo Element characters to complete this quest and so it seems, they are the only ones that can do that. But if you’ve got any luck with other characters, let us know by leaving your feedback below.

Tesla Breaks Ground on Battery Manufacturing Factory in California

Despite CEO Elon Musk’s decision to leave California and sell all his homes in the state, Tesla seems quite disinterested in abandoning California quite yet. Tesla broke ground on a “Megafactory” meant to produce the industrial-sized version of its solar power battery, the Megapack, in California today.

The Megafactory will be located in the city of Lathrop. The city’s mayor, Sonny Dahliwal, said in a Facebook post, “We are proud to be the home of the Megafactory, Tesla’s most recent expansion here. The future of green energy will be produced right here in our community.”

Located near Fremont, Lathrop also hosts Tesla’s automotive manufacturing facility and a 870,000 square-foot distribution center for the company’s electric vehicles.

Tesla currently manufactures Powerwalls, Powerpacks, and Megapacks at the Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada. The Megafactory now being built in Lathrop is the first to be devoted to manufacturing the Megapacks, though it is unclear whether it intends to also manufacture Powerwalls and Powerpacks in Lathrop, as well.

Although sales of Tesla’s energy products and batteries have not grown as fast its EVs, Elon Musk indicated that the Megapacks are sold out through next year. They seem to be especially popular with renewable energy producers that have invested heavily in wind and solar power. Apple bought a few Megapacks to store energy produced by its solar farm in California. The Arizona-based electric utility Salt River Project also recently activated a 100 megawatt-hour Megapack installation.

Tesla also anticipates that it will sell as many as one million Powerwalls next year. The Powerwalls are primarily meant for home use and Tesla also has plans to include them in its “virtual power plants” being developed in Australia and California. A distributed power plant in which Powerwall owners can provide power to the grid during peak hours could help mitigate the intense load that can overwhelm electric grids in areas that have exceptionally hot summers.

To keep up with the expected demand, Tesla isn’t only expanding its production capacity for Megapacks. It’s also considering securing a supply of the semiconductor chips that are critical for the production of both batteries that can store solar power and electric vehicle batteries. Tesla also says that cell supply may also put a crip on how fast it can produce batteries. According to Musk, Tesla has had to make some tough choices in order to compensate for the challenges in its supply chain.

“We use a lot of the same chips in the Powerwall as you do in a car, so it’s like, which one do [we] want to make?” he said.

Tesla has scaled back its production of the Powerwall to continue churning out enough vehicles to set company records for deliveries. The situation is bad enough that the Biden Administration is calling a second meeting between semiconductor manufacturers and buyers, though it would be no surprise if Biden snubs Tesla again, considering that he’s done it before when meeting with automakers.

Tesla appears to anticipate that the issue will be resolved eventually, however. It had not previously announced that it plans to build a Megapack manufacturing facility in Lathrop.

How To Obtain Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn in Genshin Impact

On September 1st, 2021 Genshin Impact rolled out the latest 2.1 update. With this update came a character most of u are familiar with, Aloy, from Horizon Zero Dawn. At the moment she is only available for Playstation users and will probably be available for PC gamers when version 2.2 comes out on the 24th of November.

To acquire her, every player must be at least Adventure Rank 20 and follow. these steps:

  1. Login to your Genshin Impact Account for the Playstation.
  2. Check your in-game mailbox.
  3. Hit Accept like any other event reward.
  4. Head over to the Party Setup.
  5. Select a slot / character to be replaced.
  6. Locate Aloy.
  7. Select her and hit Switch.
  8. Switch to Aloy to use her as a main character.

Aloys abilities include:

Normal Attack: Rapid Fire
NormalPerforms up to four consecutive shots using a bow.
ChargePerforms a more precise, aimed shot, dealing cryo damage.
PlungingFires off a barrage of arrows before hitting ground, dealing huge Area of Effect (AoE) damage.
Elemental Skill
Frozen WildsThrows a freeze bomb that deals cryo damage and splits into chillwater minibombs which explode and deal cryo damage when they come into contact with monsters or after a short period. These bombs and minibombs decrease enemy attack damage and adds one stack of coil which increases her normal attack damage. When a four coil stack is reached, Aloy enters the rushing ice state that allows her to gain increased normal attack damages imbued with cryo effects.
Elemental Burst
Prophecies of DawnAlow throws a power which deals cryo AoE damage after it detonates.
Passives
Easy Does ItIf Aloy is included in the party, you are able to hunt all manner of beasts and avian that produce fowl, raw meat or chilled meat at 100% efficiency as they are not startled in Aloy’s presence.
Combat OverrideAfter Aloy receives the stack of coil from the Frozen Wilds, her attack is increase by 16% and 8% for every party member for a period of 10s.
Strong StrikeIn her rushing ice state, Aloy gains of up to 35% bonus cryo damage every second for a short period.

As with every character in Genshin Impact, ascension is key to increase character level and the ability to use powerful skills and weapons. Since Aloy has the cryo element you’ll need the following ascension materials.

Character / Talent Ascension MaterialsHow to obtain
Shivada JadeEliminate Cryo Regisvines and Hypostases.
Crystal MarrowHarvest the crystals directly. Go to the Serpents Remains (Orobashi’s Bones) in Yashiori Island in Inazuma.
Spectral HuskDefeat Specters in Watatsumi or Seirai Island in Inazuma.
Teachings of FreedomEnter the Forsaken Rift Domain during Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays and clear each floor to receive the rewards.
Molten MomentDropped by La Signora Boss on level 70 and up.
Crown of InsightComes with seasonal events, upgrading the Frostbearing Tre

Aloy’s weapon in Genshin Impact is the same with Horizon Zero Dawn, a bow and arrow.

The Amos Bow is more suitable for her use. It is a five-star bow that increases normal and charged attacks by 12% and a further 8% for every 0.1s the arrow is flying. Amos Bow is preferred compared to the Predator Bow because it has been reported that it currently does not work properly on the Playstation.

Another alternative is the Hamayumi, a four-star bow which increases normal and charged attack damage by 16% and 12% respectively. As Aloy’s energy reaches 100% the effects are doubled.

Her artifact is the Shimenawas’ Reminiscence. Having 2 pieces will increase the attack by 18%. Having 4 pieces results in casting an elemental skill boost on normal, charged and plunging attack damage by 50% for 10s when having 15 energy or more.

Do note however, that Aloy will only be available during the crossover event period. So if you really want to add her to your roster of heroes, then by all means, login your Genshin Impact Account and be on your merry way. But if you fell short of the Adventure Rank 20 requirement, then it’s time for you to get grinding and hit AR 20 or you’ll miss the chance on having her part of your list of powerful heroes.

How To Obtain and Equip Artifacts in Genshin Impact

Artifacts are equipment used to increase character stats. Aside from weapon equipment’s, the perfect combination of artifacts can make any hero stronger. There are 5 types of artifacts. Flower of Life, Plume of Death, Sands of Eon, Goblet of Eonothem and Circlet of Logos. Only one of each type can be equipped on a character at a time.

Artifacts contain a main stat along with up to 4 minor, secondary stats. These stat bonuses greatly increase the character’s attributes. The Flower of Life and Plume of Death can only come with a specific main stat. Other types may come with multiple main stats.

Acquiring Artifacts

Artifacts are obtained in many ways, Exploring around Teyvat, Investigating spots, opening Chests, Defeating Elite Enemies and Bosses, Claiming Rewards from Petrified Trees in Domains of Blessing, and acquiring Chamber Rewards inside Spiral Abyss.

These items have 1-5 Star Rarity. Artifact Rarity drop is also dependent on the level of Domain you are entering. To equip artifacts you:

  1. Press C to open the character window.
  2. Select Artifacts.
  3. There are five orbs with different markings circling around your character. Click each of them.
  4. On the selection pane, Choose the artifact you wish to equip your character and click Equip.
  5. Click X to exit and complete the process.

Enhancing Artifacts

Like the weapons, artifacts are also upgradable gears in Genshin Impact. Every increment in level also provides added stat bonus. These bonuses often make the difference, with healing dishes aside, between succeeding and failing during elite enemies and boss fights.

To do this:

  1. Press C to open character window.
  2. Select Artifacts.
  3. There are five orbs with different markings circling around your character. Click each of them.
  4. On the selection pane, Choose the artifact you wish to equip your character and click Enhance.
  5. On the bottom right of the Enhance window, click Auto Add or manually add Enhancement Materials.(Tip: You may also choose the rarity of the Enhancement Materials to be used.)
  6. Click Enhance.
  7. Once done, click Confirm to complete the process.

Make sure to check the main, secondary and bonus stats that your artifacts have and may provide. Some of your characters may very well benefit from these to further increase their capacity in taking down tougher enemies.

SpaceX to Bring Starlink Out of Beta Next Month

According to a tweet by Elon Musk, SpaceX plans to bring Starlink out of beta. Starlink currently provides Internet access for 100,000 customers, including beta testers and users who gained early access through deals that SpaceX made with school districts, Native American tribes, and remote communities in Chile. It also has a waitlist of more than 500,000 possible customers.

Access to Starlink has a high upfront cost in the form of a one-time payment of $499 for the terminal and equipment that provide connectivity to the satellite constellation. However, SpaceX that it plans to gradually slash that price down to $125 by improving manufacturing efficiency for Starlink terminals. It currently produces 5,000 terminals a week at a cost of $1,300 each.

Starlink promises that users will see download speeds between 50 Mbps and 150 Mbps, though Elon Musk thinks SpaceX could get that speed as high as 300 Mbps. Results from Speedtest.com has recently returned an average download speed of 97.23 Mbps for Starlink Internet with 45-millisecond latency time. Musk says that latency could eventually drop to 20 milliseconds, which could make it attractive for applications like competitive gaming.

By way of comparison, “traditional” ground-based internet gets an average download speed of 115.22 Mbps. Competitors like ViaSat and HughesNet get average download speeds of 18.13 Mbps and 19.73 Mbps, respectively.

And, yes, the competing satellite Internet companies do seem to hate Starlink with a passion, to the occasional annoyance of Elon Musk:

Beta testers also reported that Starlink terminals do well in harsh winter weather. However, they do occasionally shut down during the exceptionally hot summers seen in areas like Arizona. SpaceX may be working on a fix for the latter problem, as the terminals may need to be updated to allow for the next generation Starlink satellites that recently received regulatory approval anyway.

Demand for Starlink is so high that some customers who are interested in signing up occasionally reported long estimated wait times to receive their terminals – sometimes even being told that they might have to wait until 2023. SpaceX has not yet said whether the manufacturing facility that it is building in Tulsa to manufacture new Starlink satellites will also manufacture the terminals, though it wouldn’t be too out of line to assume that it’s working on improving its ability to churn them out.

Beyond that, SpaceX has decided that Starlink is ready for prime time and will likely turn its attention to filling its existing orders on that long waitlist. SpaceX president Gwynn Shotwell estimates that the satellite Internet market could be as high as US$1 trillion, possibly enough to fund SpaceX’s ultimate goal of enabling crewed missions to Mars if it can attract a large enough market share.

This indicates a potentially large untapped market consisting of individuals that might have simply lacked the opportunities that come with reliable, affordable Internet access due to living in a low-income area or one that hasn’t seen much investment in development of Internet infrastructure. This is a market that Starlink could reach now that it is nearly ready to come out of beta.

How To Ascend Heroes in Genshin Impact

In every game you’ve ever played exists a leveling system. Most characters increase their levels by acquiring experiences either by slaying monsters, completing quests etc. Things you are already familiar with.

But what you are not expecting is that some games require materials in order for your character(s) to level up. Genshin Impact is no different from those games as it requires Character Ascension Materials. And we’ve got you covered.

Ascension Gems

Each Genshin Impact Character has their own elemental ability. To ascend your characters, you’ll need to first obtain gems that correspond to a heroes elemental ability. Most of these gems come in the lowest-rarity and are need to be crafted via alchemy to increase their rarity.

However, Brilliant Diamonds are an exemption because they can only be used by either Aether or Lumine if you’re playing them as your main character.

As you continue your travels, you increase your Adventure Rank (AR). This allows you to unlock crafting abilities for certain materials. AR 25 unlocks Fragments. AR 35 for Chunks, and AR 45 for Gemstones.

To ascend you characters:

  1. Press C to access the character window.
  2. Select a Character to Ascend on the top center of the screen.
  3. Notice that the Character Level is below 20. Click Level Up until you reach the max level limit. Use the Character EXP Materials to do so.
  4. Now that we are at Level 20, click Ascend. Found at the bottom right.
  5. You need to have all the Required Materials to be able to proceed with Ascension. If you have them, click Ascend.
  6. You have now increased your characters max level with added upgrades to some stats. They’ll also increase every time you level up your character.
  7. Click Confirm to complete the process. (Tip: After Ascension, click on the Red Dot with a white exclamation mark. An ascension reward is given, whenever you ascend heroes.)

Now with that out of the way, we’ll leave you to hunting and gathering various Character Enhancement Materials because we know you’re going to want to have high level characters.

How To Obtain Weapon Ascension Materials in Genshin Impact

Weapon Ascension Materials are used to ascend your weapon after reaching their current maximum level. To know more about how to use them take a peek here before proceeding. These materials are grouped according to which region they can be found. High-rarity materials can be crafted using Alchemy by combining Low-rarity materials of the same group. Click here to find out more.

Domain Forgery Regions

Players are able to obtain specific types of Weapon Ascension Materials during specific days of the week at specific locations…Phew! Talk about specificity. However, Sunday seems to be the best day to gather these materials. The only problem is that, you are limited only by the number of resin you have with you.

Inspiration4 Returns to Earth

The Inspiration4 mission has successfully returned to Earth with a splashdown just off Florida’s Atlantic coast.

“That was a heck of a ride for us, and we’re just getting started,” said entrepreneur and mission commander Jared Isaacman.

During Inspiration4’s reentry, twin sonic booms could be heard over Florida, including Polk County, near the center of the state. The sonic booms were similar to ones that could be heard during Space Shuttle reentries. The spacecraft is typically still going at supersonic speeds when it hits Earth’s atmosphere, fast enough to cause the sonic booms and also cause a brief communications blackout before the spacecraft sheds enough speed to splash down safely.

The Crew Dragon, which had been named “Resilience” by NASA’s Crew-1 astronauts, was recovered half an hour after splashdown. According to SpaceX, the crew watched a movie while they waited, though they did not say what the crew’s choice of show was. The water in the Atlantic Ocean was calm, which reportedly made recovery operations easier.

“We’ve had just great weather, all around,” said SpaceX engineer Jessie Anderson during the livestream of Inspiration4’s return to Earth.

The crew consisted of Isaacman, childhood cancer survivor and physician assistant Haley Arcaneux, educator and artist Sian Proctor, and engineer Chris Sembroski. During live coverage of the Crew Dragon recovery and crew’s egress, some crew members were seen to do a little dance upon setting foot on the recovery ship, indicating that they were in good shape and good spirits after their three-day mission.

The mission was organized as a fundraiser that raised $113 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. As part of the fundraiser, a seat on the flight was offered as a raffle prize for donors. The winner gifted the seat to Sembroski. According to Isaacman, it was equally important to inspire young children, including ones with serious illnesses like cancer who might receive treatment at St. Jude.

Although there was some grumbling on social media about lack of pictures and video featuring the crew’s activities while on orbit, the lack could be explained by an exclusive deal with Netflix and a few pictures were released. Defenders of this decision said that the three-day mission was likely to be packed with activities like medical experiments and occasionally gazing out of Resilience’s new cupola at Earth.

Inspiration4 and its crew will be featured in a five-part documentary on Netflix. The documentary, titled Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space, is being directed by Jason Hehir, who previously directed the ESPN documentary The Last Dance. Netflix is also preparing a companion show for kids titled A StoryBots Space Adventure. The first installment of Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space can already be found on Netflix.

Upcoming civilian flights for SpaceX include a series of flights organized by Axiom Space, which are expected to begin in early 2022 and will be commanded by veteran NASA astronauts, including Peggy Whitson and Michael López-Alegría. The Axiom Space flights will include docking with the International Space Station as part of preparation for the company’s inflatable station modules.

Tesla to Reverse Price Hikes for Some Solar Roof Customers

In March, Tesla caused outrage among customers who had reserved a solar roof by making significant price hikes to their solar roofs. Customers reported communications from Tesla saying that the price of their solar roofs were increasing, sometimes even more than doubling.

These customers were only given the choice of agreeing to the higher price or canceling their reservation for a solar roof. Some of these customers filed a class action lawsuit with the San Jose, California, U.S. District Court, and at least one customer called the price hike effective “bait and switch” tactics. The lead plaintiff, Matthew Amans, says that Tesla hiked the price of his solar roof from $72,000 to more than $146,000. Similar lawsuits have been filed across the country.

At the time, Elon Musk blamed the price hikes on challenges with the solar roofs’ supply chains and rooftops that were more complicated than expected or unable to support solar tiles. According to Musk, the company also made “significant mistakes” that caused cost overruns and delays, often to the annoyance of customers who have been waiting on their solar roofs since 2020.

Now new court document filings show that Tesla plans to reverse the price hikes for customers who reserved a rooftop before April 2021. Attorneys for the plaintiffs say that they are willing to discuss a settlement to “consider, clarify and formalize certain terms of relief” for customers who had previously agreed to the lower price.

Those who ordered a solar rooftop after the cutoff date will still have to pay the higher prices, and likely also order at least one Powerwall battery as part of a “bundled” deal. Tesla is currently facing challenges with manufacturing the Powerwall due to a semiconductor chip shortage that is also hitting the automotive industry hard enough that Tesla floated the idea of taking extra steps to secure a steady supply. So if you do order one, be prepared for likely delays in the delivery of the Powerwall.

Tesla says that it has installed the equivalent of more than 10 million solar panels on 400,000 rooftops. The solar part of its business earned $20 million in profit for the second quarter of 2021, with sales totaling $801 million. The company has plans for virtual power plants made up of Powerwalls that can provide electricity to the power grid in states like California that have been hit hard by overwhelming demand for power over the summer. It also plans to become an energy retailer in Texas, possibly as a response to the multiple issues that the state has had with its power grid this year.

It is possible that Tesla’s mishandling of pricing for its solar rooftops will hurt sales, though. The exact details of any possible settlement in this class-action lawsuit have not yet been announced. However, those who haven’t already cancelled any orders they placed before March 2021 may be able to expect that the price of their solar roofs will revert back to what they originally agreed to.

How To Stay Alive in Dragonspine in Genshin Impact

Teyvat is a very huge map with varying terrains. Also, Genshin Impact emulates a somewhat realistic weather system. So, while in game, you’ll experience rain, thunder storms, and lightning strikes, especially in Inazuma. But today we will be talking about Dragonspine. Unlike Inazuma, where lightning strikes are frequent, in Dragonspine, it’s always snows and any player caught within it will experience sheer cold.

As you are exposed to the sheer cold of Dragonspine, a bar shows up just above your health bar. This indicates that your character has limited time tolerating the extreme cold. Once this bar maxes out, you’ll start to loose health points.

So, to help you complete your quests and encourage you to explore more of Dragonspine, we’ve come up with a list to help players withstand, endure and beat the sheer cold.

1. Statue of Seven & Waypoints

statue of seven_geo & anemo

If you’re only just starting your trek up the mountainous terrain of Dragonspine, it is best to first target activating Waypoints and the single Statue of Seven in the area. They provide heating for your character to help prevent the effects of sheer cold. However, you’ll need to be in close proximity to them to be effective.

2. Ruin Braziers & Seelies

Unactivated Ruin Brazier
Activated Ruin Brazier

Ruin Braziers will need to be activated by pressing F when near one. They provide warmth over a certain area, and, unlike fires, they can never be put out with anemo, hydro or cryo attacks. A very handy attribute, especially when you are being chased by enemies, and you really are going to be surrounded by a bunch of them.

Warming Seelie Outside its Court
Warming Seelie inside its Court

Warming Seelies are also scattered around Dragonspine and are a sight to behold. They are not stationary on your first encounter as they will want to be placed inside its Seelie Court. They provide warmth inside a small area and are inextinguishable.

3. Bonfires & Torches

Lighting up bonfires and torches also help generate heat for your character to counter the effects of sheer cold. Be on the lookout for bonfires & torches that have been put out. You’ll need to switch to characters with Pyro ability to create fire and be able to heal and cook dishes.

4. Hearty, Warming Dishes & Gadgets

I’m sure you been able to cook up dishes in real life. Genshin Impact also allows you to create dishes in-game using recipes. To help you in beating or delaying the effects of sheer cold, you may cook a Goulash yourself. The recipe, however, will only be obtained after completing the Ah, Fresh Meat quest.

To activate the quest you’ll need to:

  1. Talk to Harris in Dragonspine Adventure Camp.
  2. You will need to obtain 10x Chilled Meat.Do this by melting the frozen boars using a character with Pyro ability.
  3. Speak to Harris again.
  4. Obtain the meat of the Great Snowboar King.
  5. Return to Harris and receive your Goulash recipe reward.
  6. Make Goulash and return to Harris at 18:00.
  7. Speak with Harris to complete the quest.

Alternatively, you may use the Warming Bottle Gadget for a short period within a small area. This is obtained by upgrading the Frostbearing Tree to Level 4.

5. Scarlet Quartz

Scarlet Quartz Lump
Loot Scarlet Quartz

They are found all over Dragonspine and can be obtained using physical or special attacks. Once you pick them up, they provide warmth and Pyro damage for about 25s. They can be used to melt frozen lumps also found in Dragonspine.

Aside from not being overpowered by enemies, that is how you stay alive within Dragonspine. Another tip we haven’t discussed that might be helpful, assuming you have acquired lots of heroes, is by creating a party that can tough it out in the cold. Preferably ones that have group healing and have strong Pyro damage against Cryo enemies.

Tesla to Work With Regulators to Improve Data Security

Elon Musk announced at an industry event in China that Tesla will work with regulators worldwide to improve its data security. Tesla vehicles are capable of sending data from their sensors and cameras to a remote server, which has caused both governments and consumer advocacy groups to express concerns about cybersecurity.

Consumer Reports has especially expressed concerns about the privacy of Tesla owners and passengers. The interior cameras could capture footage of activities that could reasonably be expected to be private and send them to Tesla’s servers. It is possible for owners to “opt out” of sending vehicle interior footage to Tesla, but they may not know that this option exists.

China has especially gotten into a tug-of-war with Tesla over concerns about possible espionage. It banned Tesla vehicles from parking at government facilities out of concern that their cameras could capture video footage of sensitive activities at those facilities. Although the company has denied that the cameras are active in China in the past, Tesla has attempted to address some of the Chinese government’s concerns about possible espionage by building a datacenter to store any video footage that might be captured by the cameras.

The possibility of a camera system cybersecurity issue was especially highlighted when a “hacktivist” group called the APT-69420 Arson Cats hacked into a camera surveillance system used by a variety of facilities, including a facility that Tesla says belonged to a supplier in China. The Arson Cats claim that their goal was to expose the extent to which various facilities, including ICU wards, were surveilled, and even made footage of patients in ICU beds public. The camera systems are operated by a security company named Verkanda, which said that it has since shut down the administrator accounts that the Arson Cats accessed and investigated the incident.

Elon Musk acknowledged that a similar hacking incident could hit vehicles that are becoming increasingly computerized during his appearance in China. Driver assist programs will especially require a wide array of interior and exterior cameras and sensors. Some of Tesla’s interior sensors and cameras, like a recently activated camera on the rearview mirror, are designed to track the alertness of a driver.

“With the rapid growth of autonomous driving technologies, data security of vehicles is drawing more public concerns than ever before,” he said during the World New Energy Vehicle Congress.

These concerns may be increased by Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, both of which can send video, sensor, and driving data back to the supercomputers that it uses to train its AI. Tesla can provide this data, plus logs of Autopilot and Full Self-Driving usage, to law enforcement agencies to help them investigate vehicle accidents and crimes.

The logs have already proven that the Autopilot was not active at the time of a fatal crash in Texas last April that sparked calls from Congress for regulators to probe possible safety issues with the Autopilot. (Perhaps Congress was simply not kept up to date on that one.) The video footage generated by Tesla cameras have also helped solve cases like a string of BB gun shootings in California and a one-man string of hate crimes in Missouri.

While there has not yet news of a hack of Tesla’s supercomputers, Musk seems intent on staying ahead of the game on this department by working with regulators on the data security issue even though he has certainly expressed annoyance with them often enough. He has previously accused the SEC of protecting short sellers of stock like Tesla’s and also blasted the FAA for regulation-related delays that hurt the launch schedule of SpaceX’s Starship test models. However, he may be learning how to pick his battles in this case.

How To Play Idle Heroes Part 2

Previously, we’ve introduced the Daily Quests and here we will show you a few more that’ll surely interest you more than ever.

Creation Circle

In one or many ways, you will obtain 4-star heroes or 4-star hero shards. Within the Creation Circle, players are able to fuse them to create a 5-star hero. All you need are:

  1. 2x copies of a 4-star hero you wish to upgrade to 5-star.
  2. 6x 4-star sacrifice heroes and.
  3. 4x 3-star sacrifice heroes.

Do note however, that all of them should be on the same faction in order to make it work.

Aspen Dungeon

Aspen Dungeon is a PvE dungeon that opens for 48 hours with an interval of 96 hours between openings. Similar to the Brave Trial where your team is matched against other players’ teams, here, you’ll only need to deploy five of your most powerful heroes to face enemies of varying strength and on different difficulties one at a time. In between attack turns, there are rewards given when your offensive hero survives the clash and merchants also appear for you to purchase goodies.

Tower of Oblivion

Is another PvE Dungeon that challenges your teams strength and abilities. This dungeon is most often used to farm gold, upgrade materials and armors.

Blacksmith

Forging weapons and armor are an important part of any game. In Idle Heroes, having 3x copies of the same item is used to create a much higher quality weapon or armor.

A disassembly feature is also available. This allows you to destroy equipment to obtain the Soul Resonance Crystal which is used to replace the Hero Resonance of an equipment. This allows any equipment to be somewhat customized for a specific hero.

Gate of the Void

Is the latest addition to the game. Transcendance Heroes are summoned in the void. The void also provides the Crystal of Transcendance and Stellar Shards. Both of which are used to inmprove Transcendant and Regular heroes stats and abilties.

The Galactic Tree is also found here. It is where Starspawns are awakened and housed for upgrades.

Altar

The Altar’s function is very simple. It is used to dispose off of any undesired heroes in your lineup. As a Sacrificial Altar, whenever you disassemble your heroes you are rewarded with Soul Stones. A type of currency that is used to purchase heroes or Prophets Blessings used in replacing Heroes.

Celestial Island

The Celestial Island is more like your own private island. Here you place your Watch Tower and a few other buildings that produce resources.

You’ll also find here the Adventure Port. Where you take a ship for a certain period, depending on how far your voyage is. During your voyage you encounter several challenges and winning this challenges rewards you with various items.

Prophet Tree

The Prophet Tree is where the Prophet Orb can be used. To summon heroes or replace them using the Prophets Blessing.

Achievements & Glory Challenge

As the name suggests, whenever you complete a task or fulfill a requirement you unlock an achievement and is rewarded handsomely. The same can be said with Glory Challenges. Once players fulfill the requirements, they will also be rewarded.

Cool Events

Here you’ll find Limited, Monthly, and Cool Events (most of them will require you to spend real money). This is also where you’ll find out about upcoming events that would require you to earn and spend items you can obtain in game without spending cash.

Comeback Radio

This is an option for the long lost players of Idle Heroes. Returning players are eligible for the Comeback Radio rewards and their ever active mentors so long as they meet the requirements.

Privileges

Rewards here are given only to those that have reached a certain VIP level. In order to receive the rewards, players must spend some cash. Cool items and privileges are up in the store for those who are willing to spend cash. Some events may include rewards for VIPs as a way for the Game Developers to express gratitude to those that keep the game and make the game more available for everyone.

Now that we’ve covered everything you need to know to get started, we would like to stress that this game is both free to play and pay to play. If you are someone who tries not to spend, then this game is for you. If you are thrift about how you spend gems then you can save up and spend them on much needed materials and upgrades. But if you are someone who spends money for the game, get ready to receive some surprises as you reach higher VIP levels.
