Rivian inches closer to profitability but warns ‘changes to government policies’ could hurt

Rivian’s cost-cutting measures have gotten it a lot closer to profitability, but the company is warning that 2025 could still be a challenging year — especially because of the whorl of uncertainty caused by the new Trump administration. The company announced Thursday its fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 financial results, and along with it, shared plans to deliver between 46,000 and 51,000 EVs across 2025.

Lenovo has already teased the second-gen version of its flagship gaming handheld. But that won’t be out until much later this year, so in the meantime, it’s come out with the Legion Go S, a slightly sturdier and more portable way to frag while you’re out and about.

Since 2006, PlayStation has prided itself on big, cinematic first-party titles that justify your console purchase, and when they hit, they hit. Over the years, several internal studios have delivered blockbuster franchises like God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and The Last of Us. But spare a thought for the ones that didn’t make the cut: for whatever reason, they just didn’t resonate or hit desired benchmarks, and now remain as odd one-offs with a niche fanbase that loves it for what it was and

What’s driving electricity demand? It isn’t just AI and data centers.

Take the US, for example. The IEA report points to other research showing that the 10 states hosting the most data center growth saw a 10% increase in electricity demand between 2019 and 2023. Demand in the other 40 states declined by about 3% over the same period. One caveat here is that nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen with data centers in the future, particularly those needed to run AI.
