Rivian R1S review: second time’s the charm

theverge.com Peter Nelson 2026-03-03 05:00:00

Just four years after Rivian began selling its R1T truck, 2025 marks the beginning of the R1T and R1S’ second generation. Considering they look essentially the same on the outside, it might be hard to decipher what warrants a new generation. But underneath, it’s actually quite easy: all-new electric architecture, a new motor arrangement, retuned suspension, and more. Kicking off at $107,700, here’s how all these revisions make the 2025 Rivian R1S Premium Tri-Motor a true frontrunner in the moder

Playdate’s second season sucked me back into the little yellow handheld

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2026-03-03 06:00:00

The Playdate is easy to forget about. It’s colorful and weird, but it’s also tiny. Like the Game Boy Micro before it, sometimes I toss it in a bag and then can’t remember where I put it. But over the past few weeks, the yellow handheld has been in constant rotation in my house, despite being up against big distractions like Mario Kart World and Death Stranding 2, thanks to the Playdate’s now-complete second season of games. The seasonal structure is one of the unique aspects of the Playdate. Wh

24 hours with Alexa Plus: we cooked, we chatted, and it kinda lied to me

I’ve waited two years to try out the new Alexa, which was first announced way back in 2023, and this week I finally got access to Alexa Plus. I’ve now spent 24 hours with Amazon’s generative AI-powered voice assistant, and it’s not just an improvement on the original; it’s an entirely new assistant. Alexa Plus knows more, can do more, and is easier to interact with because it understands more. I can ramble, pause, sigh, cough, change my request mid-sentence, and it can adapt and respond appropr

If you don’t need a robot vacuum that can sweep your baseboards or empty its own bin, theis on sale at Amazon and Walmart for $139.99 ($140 off), which is one of its better prices to date. The entry-level robovac isn’t the smartest option available, but it’s at least aware enough not to bump into walls or tumble over stairs. The 11S Max offers good carpet and hard surface cleaning with relative quietness, too, and its 600ml bin is roomy enough to go through several cleanings before it needs to b

Sequoia bets on silence

There is a time-honored crisis management strategy, wherein one says nothing and waits for the outrage to pass. For Sequoia Capital, the strategy worked pretty well this week. While partner Shaun Maguire initially weathered criticism over an inflammatory social media post, that initial indignation cooled quickly. Now, some seem to think that Maguire’s defiant stance may even be strengthening his position. Business Insider actually called it “good for deal flow” — controversy as competitive advan

HUAWEI Freebuds 6 The HUAWEI FreeBuds 6 are yet another pair of open-fit wireless earbuds, not unlike the AirPods 4 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 3. But with a unique design, comfortable in-ear fit, great sound quality, and surprisingly decent ANC, the FreeBuds 6 stand above their competition.

Which smartphone has the best battery life? I tested dozens to find the winner

If there’s one thing we all want from our next smartphone, it’s more battery life. Thankfully, battery cells are bigger than ever, while processors are increasingly frugal. This means that many, but certainly not all, flagship and mid-range handsets can take us through a day without leaving us suffering from battery anxiety. However, some phones are definitely better than others at lasting through more demanding work/life balances or taking lighter users through a second day. Not to mention, th

My top 6 open-source Android apps from the Google Play Store - and why that's important

Joan Cros/NurPhoto via Getty Images Android and open source are closely intertwined. In fact, most open-source fans I know also use Android. Coincidence? I think not. One nice thing about Android is that the Google Play Store has lots of open-source software.

But the operative word here is "electronics," which is not as all-encompassing as some people might think.
