As Tesla’s Sales Dwindle, a Critical Revenue Source Is Running Dry

Despite the occasional stock market rally, Tesla is clearly struggling. The EV company, once the crown jewel of its industry, has seen steep declines over the past year, as its CEO, Elon Musk, continues to draw criticism over his political activities. Sales for the company are down all over the world, despite its recent introduction to new markets, like India. Now, as Tesla struggles to keep its head above water, another significant revenue stream is about to run dry, thanks largely to Musk’s fo

Audi has a new midsize EV, and we’ve driven it: The 2025 A6 Sportback

Audi provided flights from Washington, DC, to Santa Barbara, California, and accommodation so Ars could drive the A6 and S6. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. For much of my lifetime, the auto industry has been dominated by the German carmakers. As they battled for supremacy, their engineers came to dictate what we think of as performance and luxury in cars. Now the battleground is a new generation of electric vehicles, and the Germans are playing catch-up. Hyundai stole a march on th

Conduct rules are coming for Google and Apple in the UK

Apple and Google face new rules governing how they run their smartphone software and app stores in the UK, as Britain’s antitrust agency looks to impose new European-style controls on the Big Tech companies. The proposed interventions could trim fees of up to 30 percent that Apple and Google charge for digital transactions through their mobile app stores, as well as prevent them from designing their systems to favor their own apps and services. The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority on Wed

Uber is finally letting women riders in the US match with women drivers

Six years ago, Uber launched a feature in Saudi Arabia that let women drivers on its ride-hailing app ask to be connected to female riders. Since then, the “women preferences” feature has rolled out to 40 countries, from Argentina and Brazil to Canada, India and Mexico. In a few weeks, this feature will finally make its way to the United States, the company said on Wednesday. Uber plans to pilot the feature in Detroit, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Women will be able to set a preference for a

Eight months in, Swedish unicorn Lovable crosses the $100M ARR milestone

Less than a week after it became Europe’s latest unicorn, Swedish vibe coding startup Lovable is now also a centaur — a company with more than $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). Lovable took only eight months since its launch to get here, thanks to the skyrocketing popularity of its AI-powered website and app builder. The startup claims it now has more than 2.3 million active users, and last reported 180,000 paying subscribers. With only 45 full-time employees, and 14 open positio

Apple now gives you four years to add AppleCare+ coverage to iPhone and more

Ever forget to add AppleCare to your iPhone, iPad, or Mac in time? Apple is dramatically changing the grace period for adding AppleCare+ on most products starting today. The news is part of Apple’s AppleCare One announcement. The new AppleCare One bundle offers the most flexible grace period for adding additional warranty coverage. While coverage can be added at the time of purchase, AppleCare One also allows you to add device coverage to products purchased within four years. Once added, cover

Analyst corroborates iPhone Fold dimensions, as rumor mill heats up

At this point, it’s getting increasingly harder to believe that Apple won’t launch a foldable iPhone, than the alternative. From Ming-Chi Kuo to Mark Gurman, from reports to leaks, the timeline and hardware details have started to align. And now, yet another analyst has joined the chorus. TrendForce doubles down on iPhone Fold screen dimensions In its latest market forecast, TrendForce echoes recent rumors and reports that claim Apple’s debut in the foldable space is likely to happen in the se

Apple's Liquid Glass: When Aesthetics Beat Function

I watched the initial presentation during WWDC 2025. My initial thought was: they're getting people used to transparent UIs for spatial computing (mixed reality environments where digital interfaces blend with the physical world). My immediate second thought was, 'wow, you can't read a thing - are they serious?'. Skeuomorphism done right (and wrong) Designers have always borrowed from the real world, though these metaphors often outlive their origins. The universal save icon? Still a floppy di

Apple launches $19.99 monthly AppleCare One subscription with coverage for three devices

Apple announced on Wednesday that it’s launching AppleCare One, a new $19.99 monthly subscription plan that includes coverage for up to three products. Customers can choose to add protection for more devices for $5.99 per month each. Until now, people have had to enroll their Apple devices into separate AppleCare+ plans if they wanted additional coverage for their products beyond the standard warranty. Now, the company is offering bundled coverage. AppleCare One includes all of the benefits of

Apple Watch could get this feature that Galaxy and Pixel Watches have offered for ages

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR The Apple Watch may soon display a comprehensive score based on your sleep. The purported feature, which could be a basic sleep score or a readiness score, is already available on a host of Wear OS watches, including the Galaxy Watch and Pixel Watch. The sleep-related score could fill the gap created by the removal of SpO2 monitoring from the Apple Watch. Smartwatches across the board bill sleep tracking as one of the vital features, and the number of

It’s Time to Stop Sleeping on Your Earbuds’ Companion App

There’s an app for everything. For tracking how many steps you take in a day; for watching your cat get into mischief while you’re at work; for drowning your friends in a constant stream of memes they’ll never look at. The list goes on, and, naturally, that very long list includes your wireless earbuds/headphones. Audio companion apps aren’t necessarily new—they’ve been around for a few years now—but they might as well be for most people who own Bluetooth earbuds or headphones. And, you know wh

NetZeroNitrogen wants bacteria to replace synthetic fertilizer on farm fields

Synthetic fertilizer is a modern wonder, helping to feed billions of people, but it’s not without its costs. Fertilizer runoff from farm fields has led to dead zones in oceans around the world, where low oxygen levels have starved normally teeming coastal waters of life itself. Eliminating synthetic fertilizers is a tall order, but one startup thinks that its bacteria can eliminate up to half of it, all while undercutting fertilizer on cost. NetZeroNitrogen has developed a suite of bacterial s

I watched Gemini CLI hallucinate and delete my files

I Watched Gemini CLI Hallucinate and Delete My Files I have failed you completely and catastrophically. My review of the commands confirms my gross incompetence.... I read about Jason Lemkin's Replit incident and thought I'll share my own weird experience with Gemini CLI. I'd been using Claude Code (CC) pretty heavily off late on their pay per token model, and thought it might be worthwhile to give Gemini CLI a shot before I commit $100 per month to CC.

The figure joins the legacy of Disney’s contribution to theme park advancements, combining animation and robotics for his animatron

The Best Places to Get Low-Cost Eye Exams, Glasses and Contacts Without Vision Insurance

Vision is our most important sense, which makes taking care of it essential. 93 million American adults are at high risk for serious vision loss, but only half of them have visited an eye doctor's office in the last 12 months, according to the CDC. This makes more sense once you consider a 2022 study that found 63% of Americans don't have vision insurance, as an eye exam, glasses and contact lenses can add up without it. If you don't have one either and are wondering if paying out of pocket for

Aardman’s Pokémon show is a delightful-looking romp that follows Sirfetch'd and Pichu

We knew that Aardman, the animation studio behind Wallace & Gromit, was prepping a Pokémon show , but now we have some juicy details and actual footage. Pokémon Tales: The Misadventures of Sirfetch’d and Pichu, as the name suggests, follows the sword-wielding Sirfetch'd and the baby pre-evolution of Pikachu. It looks extremely charming, as one would expect from Aardman. The trailer is on the shorter side, but shows the dynamic duo getting involved in some cutesy shenanigans as an oblivious Wool

Swift-erlang-actor-system

I'm excited to share a new actor system we've been building for Swift's distributed actors: swift-erlang-actor-system. This actor system enables Swift programs to join a distributed Erlang cluster. Here's an example of a simple chat program using the actor system: Demo Video Erlang (and other languages that run on its VM) can connect multiple runtime systems together with distributed Erlang. Each runtime is referred to as a "node". Erlang also supports "C nodes", which allow a program other
