'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One)' drops first trailer

 

Three years after Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse came out, we get our first glimpse at Miles Morales' (played by Shameik Moore) comeback on the big screen. The first trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) shows Miles' story after saving the multiverse in the first film. Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) drops by looking to hang out with a grounded Miles. Their solution? Say that Spider-Man is hanging out with her instead of Miles.

A quick glimpse at his multiversal travel literally throws Miles into trouble as he's attacked by Spider-Man of 2099 or Miguel O'Hara (Oscar Isaac). In either this film or its second part, we're also expected to see Spider-Woman, a.k.a. Jessica Drew (Issa Rae). For now, we can look forward to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) hitting theatres on October 7, 2022.

IKEA has a portable wireless charger

Ever thought you'd want to get your hands on a portable wireless charger? IKEA seems to have a new wireless charger that offers just that. The Nordmärke Qi charger was spotted online by some Reddit users. In Germany, a reader of media outlet mobiFlip shared details on the device after purchasing it in Cologne.

The charger retails for €20 (around CA$29 converted), and it comes with a 6,500mAh battery. As with typical wireless chargers, the Nordmärke Qi charger only charges at a very slow 5W. It also doesn't come with a power adapter or USB cable. But its internal batteries are user-replaceable. It might not be as practical as the Sjömärke wireless charging pad you can hide under your wooden desk, but it's here, whether you need it or not. It isn't available online yet, so we aren't sure if it'll make its way to other markets.

Tesla introduces an all-electric Cyberquad for kids

Tesla has quietly introduced a new four-wheel ATV built for kids. The Cyberquad for Kids is available to order from Tesla's site in the US for US$1,900 (around CA$2,440 converted). This pint-sized Cyberquad is built for kids ages eight years old and up. 

It comes with a steel frame, cushioned seat, and adjustable suspension with rear disk braking. It even has LED light bars to complete that cyberpunk aesthetic. It reaches a top speed of 10mph, and it has three speed settings: 5mph, 10mph, and 5mph in reverse. The battery has up to 15 miles of range and needs up to five hours to complete a charge. Battery range can be affected by factors like a user's weight, the riding terrain, and the speed setting.
