Happy Friday, all! The crew at RG took yesterday off in honor of Veterans Day, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a good newsletter in store for you! Let’s start with a trip Cory took. You see, Cory went to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, one of the trade shows for automotives of the year. But while he was there, Cory took a ride in the Tesla Tunnel. If you haven’t heard of it, Elon Musk’s Boring company dug out the tunnel, and now you can ride Teslas in it to make gettering around one of the busiest parts of Vegas a lot faster. So how was the ride? Hit the top story to find out. Other highlights: - I took a look at the Firewalla gold firewall and have to come to the inescapable conclusion that every smart home needs one.
- If you’re looking to rip digital copies of your DVDs and Blu-Rays, perhaps to expand your Plex collection, we have the best ripping software all in one place for you.
- …and more!
