Rivian’s new Quad-Motor R1T and R1S beat the competition in any conditions

Rivian provided flights from Albany, New York, to Reno, Nevada, and accommodation so Ars could drive the quad-motor R1s. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. It's getting harder to find hyperboles to describe the performance of modern EVs. Horsepower figures measured in four digits and acceleration figures clocking in well under three seconds aren't exactly de rigueur, but they're well short of rare these days. Rivian's latest generation ticks those boxes, joining the automaker's range

15 Best Tablets (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Other Tablets to Consider We test tons of tablets every year. Here are a few others we like, just not as much as our picks above. Photograph: Julian Chokkattu Lenovo Tab Plus for $272: There are a lot of cheap Android tablets on the internet, and I urge you to be careful with what you buy. If Amazon's Fire tablets don't interest you (see below), consider Lenovo's Tab Plus. I used it for a month for pure entertainment. The 11.5-inch screen is nice and big compared to a phone screen, yet it's p

Marks & Spencer chair refuses to say if retailer paid hackers after ransomware attack

In Brief The chairman of U.K. retail giant Marks & Spencer declined to tell a panel of lawmakers whether the company paid a hacking group following a ransomware attack earlier this year. “We’ve said that we are not discussing any of the details of our interaction with the threat actor,” said chairman Archie Norman, referring to the ransom payment. “We don’t think it’s in the public interest to go into that subject partly because it is a matter of law enforcement.” Norman said that “nobody” at

Robinhood CEO downplays OpenAI concerns on tokenized stock structure

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says it's not "entirely relevant" that the trading platform's so-called tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX aren't technically equity in the companies. It comes after OpenAI raised concerns about the product, which is designed to give users in the European Union exposure to various U.S. stocks — including private companies, which are less liquid than publicly listed firms. OpenAI last week warned that Robinhood's stock tokens do not represent equity in the company an

Battling next-gen financial fraud

Synthetic identity fraud now costs banks $6 billion a year, making it the fastest-growing financial crime in the US Criminals are able to exploit personal data breaches to fabricate “Frankenstein IDs.” Cheap credential-stuffing software can be used to test thousands of stolen credentials across multiple platforms in a matter of minutes. And text-to-speech tools powered by AI can bypass voice authentication systems with ease. “Technology is both catalyzing and transformative,” says John Pitts, h

5 surprise products we may see at Samsung Unpacked July - including smart glasses

Project Moohan headset Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's hard to believe that we're already halfway through 2025, and Samsung is kicking off the second half with force.

What to expect from Samsung Unpacked tomorrow: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Watch 8 Series, more

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Three things are certain when July comes along: backyard barbecues, late-night fireworks, and Samsung Unpacked. Just last month, Samsung confirmed that the next Unpacked event will take place on Wednesday, July 9, in Brooklyn, New York. This follows the host cities of Paris, France, and Seoul, South Korea, over the past two years -- with the company suggesting that it's chosen Brooklyn for its "bold ideas, creativity, and culture."

Beyerdynamic updated its ’70s-inspired headphones with a big battery boost

is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Beyerdynamic has announced the second generation of its Aventho wireless headphones, which originally debuted in 2017. The new Aventho 100 feature the same 45mm drivers as the original but benefit from upgraded Bluetooth support and a massive improvement in battery life, which adds an extra 40 hours of playback time. The Aventho 100 are initiall

Why this LA-based VC firm was an early investor in Slate Auto

Slate Auto, which came out of stealth mode earlier this year with a surprising – and surprisingly affordable – customizable electric truck, has raised $700 million to date. But long before the EV startup broke cover, it quietly raised a Series A round of more than $100 million in 2023. And while Jeff Bezos was involved in that round, as TechCrunch originally reported, he was not alone. A regulatory filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission shows as many as 16 investors were inv

Tuesday Telescope: Webb and Hubble team up to reveal spectacular star clusters

Welcome to the Tuesday Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light—a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We’ll let other publications offer you a daily horoscope. At Ars Technica, we’ll take a different route, finding inspiration from very real images of a universe that is filled with stars and wonder. Open clusters of stars—which consist of dozens up to a few thousand stars—are an interesting tool for astronomers to study the Universe. T

How scientists are trying to use AI to unlock the human mind

Compared with conventional psychological models, which use simple math equations, Centaur did a far better job of predicting behavior. Accurate predictions of how humans respond in psychology experiments are valuable in and of themselves: For example, scientists could use Centaur to pilot their experiments on a computer before recruiting, and paying, human participants. In their paper, however, the researchers propose that Centaur could be more than just a prediction machine. By interrogating th
