Designers mixed industrial modeling clay with earth taken from the courts where Rafael Nadal won his titles and shaped the blend into a full-size Kia EV4 GT that now sits at his tennis academy in Mallorca. Sources for the court clay include the surfaces in Monte Carlo, Rome, Madrid and Roland-Garros in Paris, places that produced 63 of his singles titles and the record 14 French Open victories that earned him the King of Clay name.
Steam added a free download this morning, that lets anyone with the right hardware open a cardboard box, pull out a GeForce 8800 GTX, and slide the card into a tower that boots Windows Vista.

Xiaomi released video on November 3 showing two full-size humanoid robots finishing an eight hour and five minute stretch of work inside its auto factory. The machines, identified in some reports as CyberOne 02 units with one in black and one in white, handled the center console side cover sorting station in the final assembly area. They pulled large flexible panels from bulk bins, turned them into the correct orientation, and slotted each one into a rack matching the sequence of cars moving down the line.
Rockstar Games opened its Launch Gallery on November 5 with a batch of fresh in-game screenshots, marking the final visual push before Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19.
