    Rivian reveals pricing and trim details for its R2 SUV

    We are all human. Things happen. The unintentional intrigue adds to their exposure, IMO. The R2 is more expensive than I was hoping for... but it is the right kind of vehicle I want. Size, EV, capabilities.

    Chris Hemsworth and dad fight Alzheimer’s with a trip down memory lane

    My MIL is suffering from late Alzheimer’s. It has been terrible watching my wife and her siblings deal with it in very different ways. IMO the disease is worse than just passing on quickly. Experiencing them slowly forgetting you, or worse, their personality completely change, is painful.

    After RFK Jr.’s shenanigans, COVID shot access will be a lot like last year

    Whole family has both flu and Covid shots (Moderna version) now. No one asked for anything. Benefit of the West Coast Alliance I assume.

    I got my Flu and Covid shot today. Kids were supposed to get their Covid tomorrow, but pediatrician hasn't received them yet so have to reschedule. They got their Flu last week.

    Who can get a COVID vaccine—and how? It’s complicated.

    Washington (and Oregon/California) understands the need at least: https://www.king5.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/vaccine/washington-state-department-health-covid-19-shot/281-8111e01b-97d0-4d50-a981-aab796210c4c

    You're putting too much faith in those voters being able to read and comprehend this situation.

    Dear readers: Let us know what you’d like to see more of on Ars

    Long time lurker, recent subscriber after the coverage and statements this year. Generally appreciate everything thus far. I agree with many of the Indie gaming, EU/US mix, and policy content comments. Wouldn't mind a niche topic on home security cameras or industry/manufacturing coverage...

    Roku tech, patents prove its potential for delivering “interruptive” ads

    As soon as this was announced last year I ordered an Apple TV, trashed the Roku and haven't looked back.

    In depth with Windows 11 Recall—and what Microsoft has (and hasn’t) fixed

    T-Mobile expands Starlink texting service to cover Verizon and AT&T users

    This could be useful in emergency situations like power outages that last longer than the cell tower's back up generator or battery does. But I don't know I'd want to pay for constantly, more like maybe a multi-month segment of the year when bad weather is expected.

    Systems used by courts and govs across the US riddled with vulnerabilities

    After you informed them did they respond positively to change or dismissively? I'm suspecting the latter...

    Can the solar industry keep the lights on?

    It's not always cost - my roof shape isn't really designed for solar. This also needs to start with the designers of homes to account for how it is positioned/shaped to maximum potential benefits.

    It’s another bloody power struggle for Rome’s future in Gladiator II trailer

    This is a train wreck of a trailer... doesn't give me hope it will live up to the original at all. I don't see Denzel's personality as a plus in the historical context here.

    Musk’s X demands money from laid-off employees, claims they were overpaid

    It's going to cost them more in legal fees than that amount of money for 6 employees...

    I'm in marketing and all of this just makes me cringe. Sigh.

    As the USPS goes electric, it’s adding six Canoo LDVs to its fleet

    Can do with a Canoo! Glad to see this happening. Progress is progress. Just need to keep up the momentum.
