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

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-20 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.

Galileo’s telescopes: Seeing is believing (2010)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-19 11:33:43

Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was in a state of anxiety. In January, he had discovered four moons orbiting Jupiter. In March, he had published this and other remarkable discoveries made with his improved telescope in Sidereus Nuncius (‘The Starry Messenger’). But by the summer, he was becoming profoundly alarmed. He had offered philosophers and mathematicians in Venice, Padua, Florence, Pisa and Bologna the chance to look through his telescope and confirm his discoveries. S

It has been more than a decade since Sony released the PlayStation 4, but the console is just as important as ever.

James Gunn’s Superman was pushed out of the top five at the box office this past weekend, marking the beginning of the end of its box office run. It’s been a good one, with over $330 million in the U.S. so far and another $250 million worldwide. It’s the highest-grossing Superman film ever, domestically not adjusted for inflation, and now the journey takes its next step. Gunn took to social media Tuesday to announce his DC Universe film will be available on digital August 15. That’s this week.

How Debian 13's little improvements add up to the distro's surprisingly big leap forward

Trixie ships with plenty of applications, a new theme, and a modern kernel. Debian is often called the "mother of all distributions" because so many distributions (such as Ubuntu) use it as a base.

5 Best Electric Toothbrushes, Backed by Dentists and Hygienists

What About U-Shaped Toothbrushes? There are many U-shaped toothbrushes available now that use a mouthpiece full of bristles to brush one section of teeth—or sometimes the entire mouth—all at once in around 30 seconds. We've tried a few and think they're fine to use in addition to regular brushing. None of them are as effective as standard electric toothbrushes. Bill Busch of North Kansas City Dental and Joseph Salim, owner of Sutton Place Dental Associates, agree that these aren't replacements.
