Polestar sets production car record for longest drive on a single charge

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-02 22:51:17

Ars recently reviewed the Polestar 3, the large electric SUV from the performance-oriented Volvo spinoff. There is a lot to like about the big Polestar, particularly the way it drives: sharp enough to give Porsche cause for concern. Among the handful of things I wasn't so keen on was its reluctance to drive slowly. Like a racehorse champing at the bit, the twin-motor Polestar 3 wanted to deliver lots of power with not much pedal travel, and it took a while, and some conscious effort, to adapt.

Data Brokers Face New Pressure for Hiding Opt-Out Pages From Google

wired.com Dell Cameron 2025-12-02 22:00:00

United States senator Maggie Hassan is pressing major data brokers after an investigation by The Markup/CalMatters and copublished by WIRED found at least 35 firms hid opt-out information from search results, making it harder for people to take control of their own data and safeguard their privacy online. Hassan, the top Democrat on the Joint Economic Committee, put five of the top firms—IQVIA Digital, Comscore, Telesign Corporation, 6sense Insights, and Findem—on notice Wednesday, demanding th

Tesla Is Making a Move in New York City That Regulators Absolutely Hate

gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-12-03 03:00:47

Tesla is coming in hot in New York City and regulators, legislators and consumers are already pushing back. The electric car company’s latest foray into regulator wrestling comes via a hiring push for autopilot drivers in NYC, despite holding no permits for that service in the city. Given that Tesla has already spent years fighting federal probes, civil and criminal lawsuits and a host of scrutiny from everyone from the SEC to local politicians, its new push appears to be a further continuation

The case for commuting by motorcycle

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-03 03:36:32

America has a motorcycle problem. Whereas the rest of the world views two-wheeled motorized transportation as transportation, the US sees motorcycles and scooters as toys. They're not something you use to commute to work or run errands. Instead, they're for riding to the coffee shop on weekends. This is a flawed line of thinking, and I'll tell you why, using two motorcycles as examples. But first, hear me out. I live in Los Angeles, which is famous for its hellacious traffic.

PUBG: Battlegrounds will leave PS4 and Xbox One behind later this year

PUBG: Battlegrounds is finally ready to ditch last-gen consoles. On Wednesday, the developer said that the game will transition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 13. Although the battle royale has been playable on current-gen consoles all along, it was running as a PS4 or Xbox One game. That helped it cast a wide net (and probably make more money), but it also came with technical limitations.

Here’s how Google Find Hub satellite location sharing is going to work (APK teardown)

TL;DR Google announced back in May that the newly renamed Find Hub would be adding support for satellite-based location sharing. That’s still not here yet, but a recent app update reveals text strings that hint at how things will work. Users will be able to share their location once every 15 minutes, with a daily limit on maximum shares. Satellite support is changing the rules of the game when it comes to mobile connectivity, and we are still right now only in the early days of its evolution.

Attached to their arm can be any number of drawing instruments, from pens to pencils, brushes to pastels, and even drill bits to scratch glass. Printers (we'll focus on inkjet for this article) blast tiny ink particles into paper and can seamlessly mix them to create a range of visually distinct hues and tones.
