Bethesda has created some of the most beloved action RPGs of the last two decades, finding sizable audiences with Oblivion in 2006 and Fallout 3 in 2008 before hitting critical mass with Skyrim in 2011.

But all the good will in the world wasn’t enough to save Fallout 76 — an online spin-off of the post-apocalyptic series that Bethesda acquired over a decade ago. Reviews from critics and players alike have been underwhelming, and the developer has been in full damage control mode since the game launched in November.

It was just last month that Elon Musk took to Twitter to unceremoniously announce that he was changing the name of the crew module and rocket booster of SpaceX’s BFR rocket program to “Starship” and “Super Heavy,” respectively. Now, in another spontaneous update from Musk via Twitter, we’re getting our first good look at the Starship section in all its stainless steel glory.

In the early morning hours, Musk tweeted out an image of the top section of the spacecraft with the simple caption “Stainless Steel Starship,” before following up with a few additional details about the progress of the program.

Thanks to Google’s enduring moneymaking machine, its parent company Alphabet remains a titanic force of advertising. However, according to a new analysis, a separate powerful force is likewise swelling beneath that surface. We’re referring to the fact that Google is continuing to build up a robust hardware business — one that’s growing to such a degree that RBC analyst Mark Mahaney thinks it will start raking in almost $20 billion in sales over the next three years.

It was back in August that NASA showed off images from its New Horizons spacecraft which had just spotted its next flyby target sitting a whopping 100 million miles away. Well, in the months since that updated the probe has been speeding along at over 30,000 miles per hour and, as luck would have it, it’ll reach its current destination on New Year’s Day.

The probe’s current target is an object known as Ultima Thule. Ultima Thule is a frozen chunk of material left over from the earliest days of our Solar System, and researchers are incredibly excited to learn more about it.

With the $7,500 federal tax credit for new Tesla purchases set to expire at the end of the month, the electric automaker is pulling out all the stops in order to boost sales and enable prospective buyers to enjoy the full credit. Earlier this month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter and said that buyers who opt to add themselves to a cancellation wait-list — where they can receive a car ahead of schedule should an outstanding order be cancelled — are eligible for a full refund if the car isn’t delivered before 2019.

In a similar vein, Musk over the weekend announced a new tweak to the ordering dynamic. According to Musk, some buyers who don’t get their Tesla vehicle in time to take advantage of the full tax credit will be reimbursed to the tune of $3,750. Remember, the $7,500 tax credit isn’t disappearing completely. Rather, it will drop down to $3,750 starting in January 2019 and will remain in place until the end of June.

After Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I couldn’t wait to see The Last Jedi, as I needed answers for so many questions following the first episode in the new Star Wars trilogy. But that’s hardly the case right now.

In a way, The Last Jedi ended perfectly, at least for me. Episode VIII was much darker than VII, but it also ended on a hopeful note — and honestly could have ended the trilogy. As a result, I’m not as curious to see what happens in the ninth Star Wars movie as I was before, and when it comes to 2019 blockbusters, I’m more excited about Avengers: Endgame. But the untitled Episode IX does launch next winter, and we have a major detail for you right now.

Microsoft is reportedly set to expand its hardware portfolio in the new year, as Thurrott claims that the company is working on multiple webcams for 2019. At least ones of the webcams is said to bring Windows Hello authentication to Windows 10, which will be the first time the feature has been included on a standalone camera. As Thurrott explains, the only cameras that have included the functionality so far are built into Surface PCs.

The webcam will also be compatible with Xbox One consoles, possibly bringing back one of the features that made the Kinect such an intriguing peripheral. With the new webcam, all you’ll have to do is walk in front of the camera to sign in, as it will have the ability to recognize your face (along with multiple other users).
