2025 Volvo EX90: A low-key luxury electric SUV

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-10 04:24:03

Volvo was among the very first of the global automakers to declare plans to build an all-electrified future. Note the choice of word—electrified, not electric, as it includes hybrids, both plug-in and mild. When it comes to pure electric vehicles, the Swedish automaker has something of a two-pronged strategy. At the low end, there's the diminutive EX30 and EX30 Cross Country, a pair of stripped-down crossovers whose value proposition might be entirely different in light of tariffs and the end of

From Point Clouds to Photorealism: How PRoGS Advances the State of Neural Rendering

computer.org Enrique Quezada 2025-08-11 23:34:42

What if a real-time automated decision-making process needs a computer vision system to produce photorealistic visuals in a mere fraction of a second? In many cases, this requires too much computational power — if it’s even possible at all. When computer vision uses 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS), it provides a photorealistic image, but the process takes far too long.

Why Buy 6 Appliances When This Ninja Blender Does It All, Feels Practically Free on Prime Day

gizmodo.com Brittany Vincent 2025-08-12 04:05:27

No one wants to have to fill their kitchen with multiple appliances if they don’t have to. That’s why it’s so easy when you get appliances that can do a variety of things at once. They have a much smaller footprint and they can help you get through the day faster because of it. And if you’re ready to take the plunge with one, namely a blender and food processor that you can get a lot done with, now’s the time to invest.

In Brief SpaceX is looking to raise fresh capital by selling new shares to insiders in a deal that would boost its valuation to around $400 billion, according to reporting from Bloomberg. The company’s strategy is to raise money via a fundraising round and separately hold a tender offer to allow employees to sell some of their shares to a select group of investors, anonymous sources told Bloomberg.

That Amazon listing for the Nintendo Switch 2 is likely fake - here's why

zdnet.com Taylor Clemons 2025-08-12 08:38:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's been about a month since the Nintendo Switch 2 debuted, breaking records by selling over 3.5 million units around the world in the first four days of availability. Even weeks after launch, restocks are hard to come by, as consoles sell out within minutes of the announcement. And with physical stock being so scarce, it's tempting to jump at the chance to get your hands on one when you see a listing on Amazon.

You May Want to Buy a Nintendo Switch 2 Before Tariffs Drive Up the Price

Nintendo’s Switch 2 may have avoided a tariff-related disaster at launch, but today is a new day full of fresh economic horrors, and that means (unfortunately for everyone) potentially new and more draconian U.S. tariffs. In letters to 14 countries sent on Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to drastically hike tariffs by as much as 40% by the end of the month, which, for the record, marks a several-week extension of prior tariffs that were set to take effect on July 9.
