During his visit to the UN, President Trump experienced a stopped escalator and a broken teleprompter, which he humorously commented on. The UN explained the escalator halt was likely due to a safety mechanism triggered by a videographer standing backwards, and the teleprompter issues were also noted. Despite these technical difficulties, Trump considered the speech more interesting because of them.
Onewheel, the electric skateboard company that recently recalled all its boards due to safety concerns, is now releasing its fastest and most powerful board yet, the Onewheel GT S-Series. Priced at $3,200, the board comes with a new safety mechanism called Haptic Buzz, which alerts users when the battery is low or when there are torque issues. The S-Series features a new motor with 50% more voltage and torque, allowing for high-speed carves and a top speed of 25 mph. However, the range has slightly decreased to 16-25 miles. Despite the new features, the company still faces criticism for its handling of the recall and safety issues.
