2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S: A different approach to a luxury sedan

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-13 10:30:34

REIDEN, Germany—There is a lot to be said for testing a car on the roads it was developed on. A Kei car, for example, makes more sense in downtown Tokyo than on one of Nashville's arterial highways, surrounded by construction trucks. Likewise the German supersedans. For decades, an arms race has been conducted between rival engineers in Munich, Ingolstadt, Stuttgart, and Zuffenhausen, each trying to best the others and build the ultimate four-door, four-wheel Autobahn crusher, fit for the fattes

Zach Cregger’s first major film Barbarian was tense and frightening, but it was also infused with a healthy dose of absurdity. The movie’s twisted sense of humor made it easier to stomach its grotesque violence and a bit more difficult to anticipate how its unhinged story would unfold.

AI Ethics is being narrowed on purpose, like privacy was

A few days ago, OpenAI released an open-source language model for the first time in a very long time. It had been promised for a while, but the deadline kept being pushed for “safety” concerns. In fact, they’ve put quite a bit of time and effort into discussing safety, because, ostensibly, safety and ethics is at the top of people’s minds. So, the public is worried about AI ethics, and OpenAI is putting efforts into making sure the AI is ethical. Sounds like a match. Not just a match, but a

Fifty-six years after Disney filmmakers imagined what it would be like for a spacecraft crew to journey to a black hole in the 1979 movie The Black Hole, an astrophysicist has released a plan for a real interstellar mission to go where no spacecraft has gone before. Outlined in a new paper published today in iScience, the proposal is a two-pronged, surprisingly simple approach. First, scientists need to find a black hole that’s relatively nearby.

NASA Told to Overhaul Its Plans to Replace the International Space Station

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-12-13 20:27:23

For nearly 30 years, the International Space Station has played orbital home for astronauts from all over the world, but its time is running out. Slated to retire in 2030, NASA is aiming to replace it with a privately-run station that can host its astronauts in space when needed. And now under pressure to get a new station up and running fast and within a slashed budget, NASA’s current head—U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—is completely overhauling the agency’s plans to replace the ISS.

2025 Subaru WRX tS review: A scalpel-sharp chassis lets this car dance

The Subaru WRX has always been the equivalent of an automotive shrug. Not because it lacks character but because it simply doesn't care what others think. It's a punk rock band with enough talent to fill stadiums but band members who don't seem to care about chasing fame. And the STI versions of yesteryear proved so talented that fame chased them. For 2025, Subaru updated the WRX to now include the tS, which at first glance appears to be the same flannel-wearing street fighter. But looks can be

The Best Hearing Aids of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

How much money should you expect to spend on a hearing aid? The answer depends primarily on whether you’re looking into over-the-counter or prescription hearing aids. Unsurprisingly, the latter is a wallet guzzler, with average costs between $2,000 to $8,000. But OTCs can ring up quite a tab in their own right, and our most highly rated devices will still run you about $800 to $2,000 a pair.
