Tesla Finds 3.5-Inch Floppy Disks Still Readable—Kind Of

A Tesla owner used a USB-to-FDD adapter to connect a 3.5-inch floppy drive to a Tesla. The Linux kernel still recognizes the drive and can mount it as external storage for Sentry/Dashcam/media, even allowing a single MP3 (such as Never Gonna Give You Up) to play.

McMahon's 100+ mph Bentley crash in Connecticut captured on police video

Police released dashcam and bodycam video showing former WWE chief Vince McMahon driving a 2024 Bentley Continental GT at more than 100 mph on the Merritt Parkway in Westport, Connecticut, before rear‑ending a BMW and skidding into a guardrail. He was cited for reckless driving and following too closely and later entered a pretrial probation program that will erase the charges next October if completed, along with a $1,000 charitable donation. McMahon told investigators he was on his granddaughter’s birthday errand, and no one was seriously injured in the July 24, 2025 crash.

A dashcam video shared by TopDog Law on Twitter captured a Dodge Charger driver's poor decision to pass on the shoulder, leading to a crash.

The incident, which left the woman and her passenger unharmed, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and the importance of adhering to traffic laws and safe driving practices.
