1000 hp, autonomy level 3, “crab gait”. Official images of the “Chinese Hummer” – Dongfeng Mengshi 917
Official images and new details about the notable Chinese SUV Dongfeng Mengshi 917, which has already been dubbed the “Chinese Hummer” for its resemblance to these American SUVs, have appeared on the Web.
New pictures show what the production version of the car will look like. I must say that it does not differ much from the concept: a maximum of brutality is preserved despite other, more “civilian” bumpers.
It is expected that mass production of Dongfeng Mengshi 917 will be launched in the third quarter of this year, and the cost will exceed 700 thousand yuan (100 thousand dollars). The car will receive a power plant with four electric motors with a total power of about 1090 hp. – up to 100 km / h it will accelerate in 4.2 s. The purely electric version will have a 140 kWh traction battery and an autonomy of about 500 km.
The manufacturer will also offer a hybrid version with a 2.0L turbocharged engine that will be used to charge a 65.88kWh traction battery. The power of the electrical part of the power plant will be 815 hp, the internal combustion engine – 217.5 hp. That is, in the hybrid version, the power of Dongfeng Mengshi 917 exceeds the mark of 1000 hp. The power reserve of the hybrid will be 800 km.
Other features of the Dongfeng Mengshi 917 include level 3 autonomous driving technology (the car will be able to move independently on city roads, although this is not really its element), the ability to share the battery charge, the “crab gait” mode of movement (the turning radius in this mode will be only 5 ,1m).
Apple has released a software update for the MagSafe Duo charging station.
While Apple frequently releases firmware updates for most of its hardware, this is the first release since the MagSafe Duo officially debuted in 2020.
It’s not yet clear exactly what the firmware update does, as Apple hasn’t provided any release notes, but the latest firmware usually includes performance and security improvements, as well as increased compatibility with other devices.
The charging station will update automatically when it is in use and connected to the mains.
MagSafe Duo lets you charge your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time and costs $129 in the US.
Many have heard claims that Windows 11 is heavily “spying” on users. As a recent YouTube video on The PC Security Channel shows, Windows 11 does send massive amounts of data to its own and third-party servers.
Worst of all, the OS does this before the user even installs or opens their first app. The author of the channel used the Wireshark application to analyze network activity on two “clean” versions of Windows.
The first was the brand new Windows 11, and the second was the good old Windows XP. A quick analysis revealed that Windows 11 connects to many third-party servers and services, most of which do nothing but track for ads. And it’s worth noting that all of these actions take place on every Windows 11 computer out of the box, without prompting the user and before he tries to use the Internet.

Details and unofficial renderings were shared by network whistleblower billbil_kun, who previously celebrated predictions that came true in various areas, including the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Microsoft-Bethesda collaboration.
So, the Xiaomi 13 Lite smartphone should become the international version of the Chinese Xiaomi Civi 2.
