A mysterious white creature suddenly appeared in the police station.

All special force officers reacted immediately.

But the creature didn’t seem to be afraid and transformed into a humanoid shape, with its color remaining white.

The officers didn’t know how to handle the creature, but they found themselves unable to move. It seemed as though the creature had taken control of their bodies and invaded their minds.

"I am the commander of the advanced troops from Planet MetalEroNull, a.k.a. Planet MEN, Earth is declared to be our colony, you will surrender"

The chief officer wondered in his mind, "Troops? Where are they? Above us?"

"They are here. You are them. You have been enlisted. Your upgrade began 3 minutes ago."

The officers noticed their body armor had been converted into alien metal. ‘What th…’ was their last scream as humans.

"Hunter units online, waiting for orders."

"Hunt your ex-colleagues down, they are also enlisted, make them your brothers again!"

"It will comply!" They all replied in union.

Officer Nelson returned and found the situation to be very strange. There was no chatter, only numerous metallic clinks and hydraulic sounds.

He opened the door and was soon surrounded by alien robots.

"You are enlisted. You will be upgraded. You will submit."

The robots were powerful, but Nelson, the best cop in the squad, resisted. He nearly made it to the car and was about to drive away; however…

"Nelson, join me; we are always brothers." A familiar voice transported into his mind.

He immediately recognized that was his little brother in blood, Matt.

Suddenly, he knew he had no choice but to submit; it was the only way to take care of his brother, since Matt could not be converted back to human.

"I submit, please make me one of you."

The conversion procedure was not lengthy. Unit-NLSN001, once known as Nelson, became fully functional in just a few minutes. Yet, the pleasure of serving the higher intelligence alongside his brothers would last forever.

"This unit is programmed to hunt down all males within its visual range. Every male should be enlisted in the master’s invading troops. All humans are to serve their new master."

The commander, both pleased and satisfied, promoted Unit NLSN-001 to captain of the hunter squad.

They would first capture their former colleagues, followed by the criminals they were already familiar with, and then the citizens in their vicinity. All males would be converted, and additional types of robots would be manufactured.

Finally, a real alien robotic army would be created, and the Earth would welcome a new era as the colony of an alien master.

Part of the deal with being CEO is that you get a big paycheck in exchange for being the public face of a company. For most people, at most companies, that means, at minimum, trying not to make an ass of yourself in public.

Tweeting a Holocaust joke, for example, might very well get you booted. Punching down at marginalized communities? Also a bad look.

But the same rules don't apply if you're the richest person on the planet, running companies stacked with cronies.

ICYMI: On Monday, Elon Musk invoked the names of two German Nazis in a tweet while simultaneously disparaging modern pronoun conventions - attempting, as he so often does, to make a joke. (I'm not repeating the text here - not because it's profane, but mostly because it's just not funny.)

For context, Musk was responding to a post about a Der Spiegel article that compared him to a media mogul who helped Hitler climb to power.

It was hardly Musk's first, and certainly not his most offensive, statement involving the Third Reich or their White supremacist progeny. Just last month, Musk promoted Tucker Carlson's widely condemned interview with a Nazi apologist who said the murder of Jews in concentration camps was "humane" and that Winston Churchill was the "chief villain" of World War II. Musk later deleted his X post that called the interview "very interesting" and "worth watching," per the Independent.

Representatives for X and Tesla didn't respond to CNN's request for comment.

Musk rarely deletes his social media posts, no matter how inflammatory. Also not deleted: the one where he reposted the "interesting observation" that women are incapable of independent thought and that only "alpha males" should make policy decisions.

And while he once apologized for his post endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory - the one that sparked an exodus of advertisers from X - he never deleted it, either.

The point is: Any other CEO of a major company could expect to be shown the door after airing any one these ideas. Or at least that was the case as recently as 2018, when more CEOs were forced out for "ethical lapses" than poor financial performance, according to a PwC study. 

So why is Musk special?

It's partly because of the way he's structured his wealth and his companies.

Musk is the single biggest individual shareholder at Tesla, the only publicly traded business he owns. The second-largest individual shareholder is his brother, Kimbal Musk, who sits on the board. In fact, the entire Tesla board of directors is stacked with Musk allies who lack sufficient independence, according to a Delaware judge who in 2023 overturned Musk's $55 billion pay package.

In other words, the only folks with a fiduciary duty to keep Musk in line are, according to Judge Kathaleen McCormick, not exactly disinterested parties.

But even bullish Tesla investors are starting to get nervous about Musk's rhetoric online and his "dark MAGA" turn, which could lead to some awkward moments on Wednesday's earnings call.

"The Musk/Trump dynamic has added to the agita of Tesla investors and it's not helping the demand issues in the US," Dan Ives, managing director at Wedbush Securities, told me. "Musk becoming more political is not bullish for the Tesla brand."

The other major source of Musk's wealth is SpaceX, a rocket manufacturer that's been tapped by NASA to resupply the International Space Station.

There are no public shareholders to worry about there, as SpaceX is a private company with virtually zero competition in the market. (Technically, it competes for space contracts with Boeing. But given Boeing's disastrous last five-ish years, SpaceX probably isn't sweating the competition too much - especially after NASA called on SpaceX to return two Boeing astronauts from the space station after their space ship broke down.)

Litigation is a key part of the Musk playbook when it comes to any person or group challenging him or his businesses. Angry at advertisers for leaving his Nazi-tolerating social media site, Musk sued a nonprofit ad group out of existence. In fact, Musk and his companies have filed at least 23 lawsuits in federal courts alone since July of 2023, according to Fortune, targeting "competitors, startups, law firms, watchdog groups, individuals, the state of California, federal agencies, and pop star Grimes, who is the mother of three of his children."

Bottom line: When you have virtually unlimited money, you have practically unlimited power to play offense – in court, in the boardroom or on social media.

Excerpt from this New York Times story:

When President Biden signed the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, it was expected to set off a boom in renewable energy, with hefty tax breaks that would make solar and wind power cheaper than fossil fuels.

So far, however, that dream has only come partly true. Solar panel installations are indeed soaring to record highs in the United States, as are batteries that can store energy for later. But wind power has struggled, both on land and in the ocean.

The country is now adding less wind capacity each year than before the law was passed.

Some factors behind the wind industry’s recent slowdown may be temporary, such as snarled supply chains. But wind power is also more vulnerable than solar power to many of the biggest logistical hurdles that hinder energy projects today: a lack of transmission lines, a lengthy permitting process and a growing backlash against new projects in many communities.

If wind power continues to stagnate, that could make the fight against global warming much harder, experts say. Many plans for quickly shifting the country away from fossil fuels envision a large expansion of both solar and wind, because the two sources generate electricity at different hours and can complement each other. A boom in solar power alone, which runs only in daytime, isn’t enough.

Some of the early predictions that the Inflation Reduction Act would help slash U.S. greenhouse gas emissions roughly 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 depended on a rapid acceleration of both solar and wind power this decade.

Wind and solar power are often lumped together, but they have important differences that partly explain why one is slowing and the other is thriving right now.

For one, wind power is much more sensitive to location. Wind turbines in a gusty area can generate eight times as much electricity as turbines in an area with just half the breeze. For solar power, the difference between sunny spots and less sunny spots is considerably smaller. That means developers can’t just build wind farms anywhere.

In the United States, the best places for wind tend to be in the blustery Midwest and Great Plains. But many areas are now crowded with turbines and existing electric grids are clogged, making it difficult to add more projects. Energy companies want to expand the grid’s capacity to transport even more wind power to population centers, but getting permits for transmission lines and building them has become a brutal slog that can take more than a decade.

“Getting wind projects built is getting a lot harder,” said Sandhya Ganapathy, chief executive of EDP Renewables North America, a leading wind and solar developer. “The low-hanging fruit, the easier access places are gone.”

The wind industry has also been hampered by soaring equipment costs after the pandemic wrecked supply chains and inflation spiked. While those factors initially hurt solar, too, the solar industry has adjusted much faster, with China nearly doubling its manufacturing capacity for panels over the last two years. Wind supply chains, which are dominated by a few manufacturers in China, Europe and the United States, have yet to fully recover.

The cost increases have been devastating for offshore wind projects in the Northeast, where developers have canceled more than half the projects they planned to build this decade.

Wind isn’t languishing only in the United States. While a record 117 gigawatts of new wind capacity came online last year globally, virtually all of that growth was in China. In the rest of the world, developers weren’t installing wind turbines any faster than they were in 2020.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb's quips on alcohol and double-entendre Estonian words during his state visit to Estonia were not too well-received by some Estonians and Finns, according to an Iltalehti report.

Finnish experts on Estonia suggested to Iltalehti that the jokes were outdated, and hearkened back to the alcohol tourism of the 1990s.

At a dinner on Monday evening at the Tallinn cruise terminal, Stubb mentioned his playlist of Estonian artists like Eleryn Tiit, Stefan and Karl-Erik Taukar. He noted that Taukar has a song called 'Cuba Libre' and Smilers has a song called 'Mojito.'

Stubb then quipped in English, "I wonder when Eleryn Tiit will release a song called Viru Valge?" This remark was met with awkward chuckles, particularly from the Estonians. Viru Valge is a popular Estonian vodka brand.

In his speech, Stubb also mentioned Estonian words that mean something entirely different in Finnish. One of them was 'ämmä' which Stubb explained means a grumpy old woman in Finnish.

Tapio Reini, editor-in-chief of the Finnish-language radio station SSS-radio in Estonia, was among those who felt Stubb's jokes were distasteful and outdated.

"The rule of thumb is that if a Finn starts telling alcohol jokes in Estonia, they always backfire," said Jari Havia, a Finnish non-fiction writer specializing in Estonia.

On Tuesday, Stubb visited the Rakett69 science studio in Tallinn, where Estonian IT guru Taavi Kotka introduced the HK Unicorn Squad, an initiative promoting women in tech. To this, Stubb quipped, "In Finland, the name HK is already claimed by sausage."

This particular HK sausage also represents an unfortunate chapter in Finnish-Estonian economic history, as HKScan, the manufacturer of the HK sausage, owned production units in Estonia for over 20 years but ultimately withdrew from Estonia and the Baltics.

Parties say EU must pay for border fence

The EU should pay for a fence to be built on Finland’s eastern border — this was the opinion of the representatives of all nine parliamentary parties in Ilta-Sanomat’s European election debate on Tuesday.

The debate at Sanomatalo in Helsinki featured several votes where participants displayed their stance on various issues with yes or no placards.

Helsingin Sanomat reported that the question about funding the eastern border fence was the only one to receive unanimous support from all nine parties.

The question read: "Should the EU pay for a fence to be built on the eastern border?"

Those who raised the green placard were Petteri Orpo (National Coalition Party), Antti Lindtman (Social Democratic Party), Riikka Purra (Finns Party), Petri Honkonen (Centre Party), Li Andersson (Left Alliance), Sofia Virta (Greens), Anna-Maja Henriksson (Swedish People’s Party), Sari Essayah (Christian Democrats), and Harry Harkimo (Movement Now).

All parties were represented by their leaders at the event except the Centre Party, which sent former Culture Minister Honkonen.

After the vote, Finns Party chair and Finance Minister Purra said the EU’s border security funding instruments currently do not allow for funding of the fence from union funds, but hopes it could be possible in the future.

Purra added that Finland’s 1,300-kilometer-long eastern border cannot be protected entirely with fences and that such barriers are expensive. Fences are being built only in areas where the Border Guard deems them most beneficial.

The Border Guard plans to build about 200 kilometres of barrier fence on the eastern border from 2024 to 2026. In the first phase, a total of 70 kilometres of border fence will be built at border crossing points and their surrounding areas. The total cost of the project is estimated at 380 million euros.

End of Foodora market

Food delivery service Foodora plans to shut down its online grocery store, Foodora Market, in Finland, as reported by Taloussanomat.

Foodora Market's director Anni Ahnger confirmed to the paper that the company has started layoff talks with employee representatives aimed at ending Foodora Market's operations in Finland. The talks will potentially affect 80 employees.

The company has a total of seven Foodora Market stores in Helsinki, Tampere, Turku, Espoo, Jyväskylä, and Oulu. Products could be purchased from these stores through the Foodora app and then delivered to the customer. The first Foodora Market opened in Helsinki in December 2020.

An Aamulehti report stated several reasons behind the closure of Foodora Markets, with consumers' price consciousness being one of them.

Online grocery shopping has also not developed as hoped in Finland after the boom during the Covid period, compared to other European countries, Ahnger told Aamulehti.

She added that the profitability of Foodora Markets in Finland is impacted by regulation. In Sweden and Norway, Foodora delivers alcohol, tobacco and pharmacy products.

Foodora Market will continue to operate normally in other countries.

Foodora, which is a part of the German group Delivery Hero, has faced significant financial losses in Finland over the past years. In 2022, the company reported a loss of approximately 15.5 million euros despite generating a turnover of around 175 million euros.

Finland among hottest in Europe

Finland is currently basking in some of Europe's warmest temperatures, as reported by commercial broadcaster MTV.

While southern and eastern Europe boast similarly warm or even hotter conditions, cooler air masses dominate in the west.

MTV Meteorologist Aleksi Jokela explains that the reason behind Finland's exceptionally warm May is a high-pressure area formed over northern and eastern Europe and Russia. Continuous cold air flows into Siberia through the high-pressure area, but the high pressure system transports warm heat masses from southern Europe to Finland via eastern Europe.

On Wednesday, some parts of Finland are expected to hit the 30-degree mark.

Alpha Tauri wanted Mick Schumacher to replace Pierre Gasly reveals Franz Tost

Alpha Tauri wanted Mick Schumacher to replace Pierre Gasly, reveals Franz Tost - as chief insists the Mercedes reserve is 'significantly better' than what he has shown previously By Dominic Hogan For Mailonline Published: 04:29 EDT, 10 June 2023 | Updated: 04:29 EDT, 10 June 2023 Mick Schumacher could have had a seat after all this season, with Alpha Tauri interested in taking on the former Haas driver - who he believes is far better than current perceptions suggest. Schumacher left American side Haas at the end of the 2022 season after his contract was not renewed following a string of disappointing results, scoring points just twice throughout the year in Formula One. He was replaced by Nico Hulkenberg for 2023, with the German partnering former rival Kevin Magnussen, with the former bringing in six points and the latter just two for Haas. The German ultimately ended up being snapped up by Mercedes as a back-up to Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, but Franz Tost has admitted that he was keen on bringing the 24-year-old to his Alpha Tauri set-up. Tost also suggested that Schumacher - son of all-time great and seven-time world champion Michael - is capable of much better than he has previously shown in Formula One.  Franz Tost admitted that he was keen to take Mick Schumacher on at Alpha Tauri after Pierre Gasly's departure Schumacher was ultimately taken on as a Mercedes back-up after he was released by Haas Instead Alpha Tauri went with Nyck de Vries, who has struggled to make the step up this year 'Initially, it was clear to me that our driver line-up would be Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda,' he told Formel1.de. 'Then suddenly Pierre was assigned to Alpine, and that left a spot open for us. Until Monza, it was completely uncertain who our driver would be. And naturally I thought of Mick Schumacher 'Mick Schumacher didn't secure a cockpit for this year. For us, it was then open after the Pierre Gasly situation came to light. He is significantly better than he is currently perceived in the outside world.  'It was rejected though. We now have Nyck de Vries and there's really nothing more to discuss.'  With Pierre Gasly heading to Alpine to join Esteban Ocon in an all-French line-up for the country's best-known manufacturer, Alpha Tauri ultimately ended up signing Nyck de Vries.  De Vries came into Formula One with plenty of promise, having won the Formula E championship two season before and finishing ninth the following year, but has struggled to make the step up at Alpha Tauri.  In seven races so far for the 2023 season, the Dutchman has managed just five finishes.  He is yet to score a point, either, with his highest finish 12th place, coming at Monaco two weeks ago, although he did manage a ninth-place finish in 2022 at the Italian GP for Williams, picking up two points.  Schumacher scored points just twice over the course of the 2022 season before leaving Haas Share or comment on this article: Alpha Tauri wanted Mick Schumacher to replace Pierre Gasly, reveals Franz Tost via Formula One | Mail Online https://www.dailymail.co.uk?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490

Published Nov. 17, 2022Updated Nov. 21, 2022, 3:32 p.m. ET

In June, about 20 engineers were invited to a meeting hosted at the headquarters of the rocket manufacturer SpaceX. The subject of the conversation: the company’s founder and chief executive, Elon Musk.

The day before, the company had moved to fire five employees who had written a letter calling on SpaceX to condemn the “harmful Twitter behavior” of Mr. Musk, who had used the social network to make light of a news report that SpaceX had settled a sexual harassment claim against him. Several of the engineers filed into the meeting expecting a sympathetic ear, as some managers and executives had indicated that they did not condone Mr. Musk’s behavior.

But the meeting, which has not been previously reported, quickly became heated, according to two SpaceX employees in attendance.

They said Jon Edwards, the vice president leading the meeting, had characterized the letter as an extremist act and declared that the writers had been fired for distracting the company and taking on Mr. Musk. When asked whether the chief executive could sexually harass his workers with impunity, Mr. Edwards did not appear to answer, the two employees said. But they said the meeting had a recurring theme — that Mr. Musk could do whatever he wanted at the company.

“SpaceX is Elon and Elon is SpaceX,” the two recalled hearing Mr. Edwards declare.

The SpaceX letter ultimately led to the firing of nine workers, according to the employees and their lawyers. On Wednesday, unfair-labor-practice charges were filed with the National Labor Relations Board on behalf of eight of those workers, arguing that their firings were illegal.

The SpaceX case raises new questions about the management practices at Mr. Musk’s companies, where there is little tolerance for dissent or labor organizing.

Tesla, the electric car manufacturer that Mr. Musk also runs, has resisted unionization attempts at its factories and is embroiled in legal action brought by workers who said they were not given adequate warning before a layoff in June.

After Mr. Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion last month, he immediately fired executives before laying off half of Twitter’s 7,500 employees. This week, he had subordinates comb through the internal communications and public tweets of Twitter employees, leading to the firing of dozens of critics.

Interviews with the eight SpaceX employees who filed the charges highlight Mr. Musk’s firm grip on his workplaces, perhaps even beyond the restraints of federal law. Six of those employees spoke anonymously for fear of reprisal and are not identified by name in the labor board filings.

Legal experts said the law, which gives workers the right to come together for “mutual aid or protection,” most likely protected the writing of the letter, which, in addition to addressing Mr. Musk’s online habits, urged SpaceX to enforce its harassment policies more effectively.

“It was hard for me to believe what was happening, it was so brazen,” said Tom Moline, an engineer who had been with SpaceX for over eight years when he was fired in June after helping to organize the letter effort. “It feels like one of those times employees have protections.”

SpaceX, Mr. Musk and Mr. Edwards did not respond to requests for comment on the former employees’ allegations.

Many of the roughly 11,000 employees who work at SpaceX do so because of the rocket maker’s mission. Founded by Mr. Musk in 2002 and based in Hawthorne, Calif., the company seeks to send people to Mars and make human beings a “multiplanetary” species.

That mission, however, has sometimes been undercut by distractions from their chief executive, several of the former employees who filed the labor charges said in interviews. Mr. Musk has openly railed against politicians and government agencies that have say over federal contracts.

More disturbing, these employees said, has been a culture that appears to tolerate sexual harassment and gender discrimination.

In December, a former employee published an essay describing multiple instances of being harassed and groped by co-workers. She said there had been little or no follow-up when she reported the incidents. After the essay appeared, other employees began speaking up about what they considered a pattern of predatory behavior by male colleagues.

The company, which does not release employee demographics but which workers say is male-dominated, began an internal audit of its harassment policies, The Verge reported.

Then, in May, Insider reported that SpaceX had paid $250,000 to a company flight attendant in 2018 after she accused Mr. Musk of exposing himself and propositioning her for sex. (Mr. Musk later said on Twitter that the episode “never happened.”) The story aggravated internal tensions, and several employees said in interviews that they were appalled when Mr. Musk joked about the accusations on Twitter.

The controversy also engulfed Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer, whom many employees said they had regarded as an ally.

“I had so much respect for her at the beginning,” said Paige Holland-Thielen, one of the engineers and letter organizers who were fired. “I would see myself in what she’s done.”

But several employees said their view of her, already tainted by the company’s response to the earlier harassment revelations, had dimmed further after Ms. Shotwell sent a companywide email saying she did not believe the accusations against Mr. Musk. “I have worked closely with him for 20 years and never seen nor heard anything resembling these allegations,” she wrote. The email was reported earlier by CNBC.

Within a few days, employees began working on an open letter in response.

Despite their frustrations, some participants said, they hoped to convey a desire to work with executives on a solution. Mr. Musk and SpaceX were known to be strongly anti-union — the rocket maker requires managers to receive training on how to discourage union activity — and the employees did not want executives or other colleagues to see their effort as the start of a union campaign.

“Any time someone mentioned something or shared something from an actual labor union, I was like, ‘Hey, let’s save that for another conversation,’” said Ms. Holland-Thielen, who had taken the training course as an engineering lead, hoping to eventually become a manager.

The letter-writing proceeded along two tracks. One occurred on the workers’ personal software and was visible only to a few dozen employees. The other happened on a collaboration platform visible to anyone at SpaceX, where workers brainstormed “action items.”

One proposal said SpaceX should disclose any other harassment claims against Mr. Musk; another called for a public statement by the company making it clear that Ms. Shotwell’s email about the allegations did not represent the views of every employee.

Ms. Shotwell appeared sympathetic even though she had been singled out. “As always, I appreciate reading and hearing ideas to help make SpaceX better,” she wrote on the internal work platform, according to a screenshot viewed by The New York Times.

The group circulated the letter on June 15 — first to Ms. Shotwell and several other executives, and then on a number of the company’s messaging channels.

“Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us,” the document read.

The initial response seemed favorable. Internal data showed that over 1,000 people viewed the letter within a few hours, the employees said. More than 400 signed it, many of them anonymously.

Managers also appeared supportive. Mr. Edwards, the vice president, said in a meeting after the letter came out that two of its three proposals were “great ideas,” according to minutes of the meeting shared internally and seen by The Times. He said a third idea — that SpaceX separate itself from Mr. Musk’s “personal brand” — was “more tricky.”

But at the highest levels of the company the response soon became antagonistic, employees said. Within hours, Ms. Shotwell sent Mr. Moline and Ms. Holland-Thielen an email passing along comments from an unnamed co-worker who expressed disagreement with the letter and called it distracting. The Information previously reported on the email.

“Please stop flooding employee communication channels immediately,” Ms. Shotwell wrote in her email, on which she copied senior company officials. She added: “I will consider your ignoring my email to be insubordination. Instead, please focus on your job.”

The next morning, news outlets reported on the open letter. By that afternoon, Mr. Moline, Ms. Holland-Thielen and three other employees were separately contacted by human resources and told that they were being fired. An official cited their role in creating and distributing the letter, four of the employees said.

Ms. Shotwell joined those conversations remotely and emphasized that the workers had wasted vast amounts of company time.

The employees were stunned. “We were really trying to make this as palatable as possible to reasonable minds at SpaceX,” Ms. Holland-Thielen said. One of the employees’ lawyers, Anne Shaver of Lieff Cabraser, said the company had “viciously retaliated” against them.

Ms. Shotwell did not respond to a request for comment for this article.

Wilma Liebman, who was a chairwoman of the National Labor Relations Board under President Barack Obama, said a letter seeking clarification of a company’s sexual harassment policies was generally protected by federal labor law. She said the company could argue that the letter’s writers sought to criticize Mr. Musk, activity that isn’t necessarily protected, rather than to improve their workplace. But she said the labor board would probably disagree because the posts from Mr. Musk that employees criticized could be seen as creating a hostile work environment.

Word of the firings spread quickly, workers said, and executives and managers soon took a much harder line. The next week, one employee was told by his manager, who had eagerly shared the open letter with co-workers, to choose between his workplace concerns and getting to Mars, according to the employee.

Workers said that the company fired this employee and two others in July and August after investigating their role in the letter and that it also dismissed a ninth employee involved in the letter in August, citing poor performance, which the employee disputed.

Mr. Moline and Ms. Holland-Thielen said the abruptness of their firings made them suspect that Ms. Shotwell had bowed to pressure.

“I thought she was doing a good job protecting and advocating for us against some of the worst impulses that Elon and others might have had,” Mr. Moline said. “Finally realizing that she wasn’t that savior — that broke down the trust for me.”

US Supreme Court to address ghost-gun regulation

The Supreme Court will review the Biden administration’s ghost-gun regulation, according to AP News.

The rule focuses on gun kits that are sold online and can be assembled into a working weapon in less than 30 minutes. The ready-made weapons have no serial numbers, so they are virtually untraceable.

The ruling came after the number of ghost guns confiscated by police across the country skyrocketed. Police seized 4,000 in 2018 and nearly 20,000 in 2021, according to Justice Department data. The regulation requires companies to treat the kits like other firearms, adding serial numbers, running background checks and verifying that buyers are 21 or older.

However, manufacturers and gun rights groups challenged the rule in court, arguing that it had long been legal to sell gun parts to amateurs and that most people who committed crimes used traditional weapons.

The administration, on the other hand, argues that the law allows the government to regulate guns that “may readily be converted” to shoot. As a result, a stream of untraceable ghost guns would flood into the US, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar warned.

Last year, the Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration, allowing the ruling to go into effect by a 5 to 4 vote. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined three liberal members of the court to form the majority.

Why Refurbished Laptops in India Are a Great Investment for Students

In today’s academic world, owning a laptop is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity. Whether it’s for research, assignments, online classes, or projects, students rely heavily on technology to succeed. However, not every student can afford a brand-new, high-performance laptop. That’s where refurbished laptops come into play. These affordable alternatives provide excellent value without sacrificing quality or performance, making them an ideal choice for students in India.

In this blog, we’ll explore why refurbished laptops and second-hand laptops are a smart investment for students, and how platforms like Retechie make the buying process easier and more reliable.

1. Affordability Without Compromise

Students use reconditioned laptops for a number of reasons, chief among them being the substantial financial savings. High-end new laptops can be pricey, but used models provide almost the same performance at a far lower price. For students on a tight budget, these devices provide an opportunity to own a reliable laptop without overspending.

Refurbished laptops are commonly used electronics that have been brought back to near-new condition while maintaining the same features as brand-new ones.For students who need a laptop for daily tasks such as browsing the internet, attending virtual lectures, or working on assignments, a refurbished laptop provides excellent value.

Platforms like Retechie offer a wide range of used laptops and second-hand laptops, ensuring students can find the right device at a price that fits their budget.

2. Quality and Performance

The idea that reconditioned computers are of lesser quality is a frequent one. Refurbished computers go through a rigorous testing, repair, and quality control procedure before being resold. These devices are restored to factory settings, ensuring they perform like new.

For students, performance is key. Whether they’re writing essays, conducting research, or working on multimedia projects, they need a laptop that’s reliable and efficient. Refurbished laptops from reputable sources like Retechie meet these demands by providing high-quality, fully functional devices that can handle the daily requirements of academic life.

Additionally, refurbished laptops often come with warranties, so students can buy with confidence, knowing that their device is protected if any issues arise.

3. Eco-Friendly Choice

Choosing a refurbished laptop over a new one is not only financially smart but also environmentally responsible. Selecting a refurbished or used laptop helps students reduce electronic trash, often known as e-waste. The production of new laptops consumes valuable resources and generates harmful emissions, while refurbishing extends the life of existing devices, reducing the demand for new manufacturing.

For eco-conscious students, buying a used laptop or refurbished laptop from Retechie is a step toward a more sustainable future. It’s a way to benefit from modern technology while minimizing the environmental impact associated with the production and disposal of electronics.

4. Lower-priced access to premium brands

Possessing premium brands at a reduced cost is a noteworthy benefit of purchasing reconditioned laptops. Students can access high-performance laptops like Apple MacBooks, Dell, Lenovo, and HP models that would otherwise be out of their price range if purchased new. This makes it easier for students to find a refurbished laptop that not only meets their academic needs but also provides advanced features for creative work, coding, or multitasking.

By choosing second-hand laptops or refurbished laptops from Retechie, students can access powerful, high-quality devices that might not have been affordable otherwise. This allows them to benefit from premium specifications without the hefty price tag.

5. Perfect for Remote Learning and Online Classes

With the increasing shift towards online education and remote learning, having a reliable laptop is crucial. Many students in India are now attending virtual classes, participating in video conferences, and submitting assignments online. A refurbished laptop offers the same capabilities as a new one, allowing students to stay connected and complete their coursework efficiently.

Refurbished devices are ideal for online learning platforms, virtual collaboration, and academic research. With stable internet connectivity and adequate processing power, refurbished laptops ensure students can keep up with their studies without any technical difficulties.

6. Long-Term Savings

Investing in a refurbished laptop can also lead to long-term savings. Not only are these devices more affordable upfront, but they also provide a cost-effective solution for students who don’t need the latest models. Instead of buying an expensive new laptop every few years, students can choose a refurbished laptop that offers the same features at a reduced price, allowing them to save money over time.

Moreover, refurbished laptops often come with updated software and essential upgrades, ensuring they remain functional and efficient for several years. This long-term durability makes them an excellent investment for students looking for a dependable device throughout their academic journey.

7. Retechie: A Trusted Source for Refurbished Laptops

When it comes to buying a refurbished laptop, trust and reliability are essential. At Retechie, we specialize in providing high-quality refurbished laptops and second-hand laptops that are thoroughly tested and certified for performance. Whether students need a budget-friendly device for daily use or a more powerful model for advanced coursework, Retechie has a wide selection of used laptops to choose from.
