If you live in the United States and you make use of a VPN service, the odds are fairly good that you’re using it because you want to and not because you need to. We’re not suggesting that VPN services are unnecessary or a luxury of some sort — quite the contrary, in fact. VPN services are hugely important tools that can keep you safe from malicious hackers and hide your browsing from advertisers.

Despite the increasing popularity of Tesla, and despite the fact that even luxury automakers like BMW and Porsche have warmed up to the idea of EVs, Ferrari remains principally opposed to the idea. Not too long ago, Ferrari Chairman Sergio Marchionne said that the idea of developing a Ferrari without a standard internal combustion engine would be “an almost obscene concept” and something Ferrari would never even contemplate.

Thankfully, a company called Electric GT not only contemplated the idea, but actually put together an all-electric Ferrari.

The CrazyRussianHacker recently tried to make a unique brand of homemade ice cream by mixing whipped cream with liquid nitrogen. While this is not something that everyone should try for themselves at home, it’s definitely an interesting way to make ice cream much more quickly than through the tedious process you normally have to go through when making it.
