9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-03 03:28:11

According to a preliminary report issued by IDC today, Apple saw the strongest year-over-year growth during Q2 compared to its closest competitors in the PC market, except in the U.S., where sales basically flatlined.

The tech behind Rivian’s 2026 Quad Motor truck and SUV — and that kick turn

techcrunch.com Kirsten Korosec 2026-02-03 02:19:46

As Rivian starts accepting orders for its 2026 Quad Motor pickup truck and SUV, customers may initially be enticed by the power and tricks the four motors in these rebooted EVs can unleash. After all, four motors delivering a combined 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 pound-feet of torque — and the ability to accelerate from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in less than 2.5 seconds — is hard to ignore. But they should also pay attention to the software. “The Quad is really the pinnacle of everythin

Rivian unveils a new quad-motor R1 variant

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-03 17:03:34

Rivian has a new high-performance EV that you almost certainly don't need. On Tuesday, the automaker unveiled a quad-motor variant of the second-generation R1. The EV can do remarkable things, but it's positioned as more of an off-road brand magnet than a sensible purchase. The Gen 2 Quad R1T (truck) starts at $115,990, and its R1S (SUV) counterpart starts at $121,990. The Gen 2 Quad lineup packs serious power. The four motors combine to give it 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque. It ca

The Book of Rites, also known as the Classic of Ritual. The Way of the former kings consists in exalting ren. One must cleave to what is central in carrying it out. What do I mean by "what is central"? I say: it is ritual and yi (8.99). The Confucian moral order is grounded in ren (仁), yi (義), and ritual (禮, li). Ren is humaneness, empathy, and magnanimous compassion. Yi is righteousness, firmness of will, and principles-based justice. Ren is the duty to care and provide for those in your ch
