To see the representative of such an antiquated office in conjunction with the most out-there groundbreaking tech almost causes a bit of a cognitive dissonance. Nonetheless, H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf attended the inauguration of the second House of Quantum building in Delft, the Netherlands, on Wednesday.  The mission of House of Quantum is to create a

  Business execs and politicians gathered at a helicopter base in France yesterday for the first public unveiling of Airbus’ new Racer aircraft. At first glance, Racer looks like a regular helicopter. Look closer, however, and you’ll notice it has both wings and two forward-facing rotors.

• A new browser war is brewing in Europe

  16-05-2024 11:25 via thenextweb.com
  
  Have you ever been trapped in a bad relationship? I’m stuck in one right now with Google Chrome. The browser’s good looks can no longer hide the ugliness that lurks inside. Chrome devours my laptop’s memory, sucks away its battery, and harvests my data. All the while, the software expands Google’s almighty empire. Chrome, you treat me terribly. Why can’t I quit you?  One reason for my undeserved loyalty is that rival browsers have rarely caught my eye. But tha
