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

Trying to find meaning in owning an old Mac

Trying To Find Meaning In Owning An Old Mac My Dad loves classic cars. He goes to car shows and takes photos of beautiful chunks of metal from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Whenever we see those cars on the road he points them out like he's a spotted a rare bird out on a bush walk. Those are the cars of his youth and for the time, that was the big mainstream technology accessible to people that caused a change in society. Cities were built around cars and so were lifestyles. Cars had a large impact on

Apple back in the White House’s crosshairs as Trump aide slams Tim Cook over China

On today’s “Squawk on the Street” on CNBC, White House Senior Counselor for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro reignited criticism of Apple’s dependence on China, calling out CEO Tim Cook for what he described as years of delayed efforts to move iPhone production elsewhere.

Everyone Is Yelling at Apple

Apple just cannot make anyone happy right now—and that’s not even taking into account the tepid response to its new “liquid glass” design principles. Its stores have become the latest target of climate activists looking to hold corporations for their role in the ongoing climate crisis, while it’s also getting hammered by the Trump administration for its failure to quit China cold turkey. The first hit of the recent barrage of blows that Apple has taken came over the weekend when protesters with

Lightfastness Testing of Colored Pencils

Have you ever spent hours on a piece of artwork, only to watch it fade over time? It’s a frustrating reality for many artists, and it all comes down to something called ‘lightfastness’ – a medium’s resistance to fading over time when exposed to light. If you want your work to last, choosing supplies with good lightfast ratings is essential. But how do we know which art supplies will hold up over time? Some brands advertise their materials as “lightfast,” but do their claims hold up in real-worl

This article tells part of the story of MMORPGs. It isn’t always or even usually the pioneers who reap the rewards of the trails they blaze.

There Ultima Online demonstrated that there was an audience for a persistent fantasy world where people could live out alternative existences together through the magic of the Internet.

Spending Too Much Money on a Coding Agent

On making use of large thinking models. For a year, I’d been coding almost every day with Cursor and Claude Sonnet. Anthropic’s 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnet each rightly earned their dominant place on the programming model charts: they were the least-bad coding models yet. In the earliest days of LLMs, there was tremendous interest in ever-larger model releases. Hype around bigger, slower models has since waned, as Claude 3 Opus, GPT 4.5, and OpenAI o1 – all large and technically impressive model releas
