    The most controversial Ferrari ever? Meet the Luce, its first-ever EV

    If Elon Musk infiltrated Ferrari wearing a Pininfarina skin-suit... this is the Ferrari we'd get.

    Google publishes exploit code threatening millions of Chromium users

    Has anyone tested if disabling "background extensions and apps" defeats this? Or the Chome equivalent of disabling "background apps"? I dont have the sample exploit code and isn't worth the archive hunt for it. It's a setting I've always toggled off, when I close the browser I expect it to...

    Ars Asks: Share your shell and show us your tricked-out terminals!

    As someone who has unfortunately had to manage Clariion CX3 arrays I will punch you in the face if you say "Navisphere".

    Attempt to repeal Colorado’s right-to-repair law fails

    The Ars audience has no problem parsing anything said here, and frankly already knew this anyway. But you'd be hard-pressed to find even 10 politicians (at any level of government) who could make it through even the first-sentence of the second paragraph before their eyes glazed over and their...

    Howdy’s dated $3/month ad-free streaming service said to have 1M subscribers

    Call me a pessimist but this just sounds like we're a few weeks away from introduction of Howdy's new ad-supported plan for $5/mo and a new ad-free "Doody" tier for $9/mo.

    What’s known about wiper attack on Stryker, a major supplier of lifesaving devices

    Saved me from having to say this very same thing. The "protections" from keeping personal separate from work are largely imagined anyway. If you're in a position of interest at an entity facing legal discovery you're in the blender with both feet, there's no "personal" devices any longer, it all...

    Supreme Court blocks Trump’s emergency tariffs, billions in refunds may be owed

    Trump may whine for show but this was the plan all along. Give the billionaires a cover story for jacking up prices then let them keep the money. It also allows provides him the excuse to not send out the rebate checks he's been promising (but was never going to send anyway).

    Five months later, Nvidia’s $100 billion OpenAI investment plan has fizzled out

    Watts and BTUs are units of facilities hosting for capacity planning, but still not "units of compute". Ever-changing efficiency (compute/watt) makes that pointless and impossible for anything more than "right now".

    The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat

    AI bots instructing other AI bots to instruct other AI bots too... my solution is to have none of it. The AIs can circle-jerk themselves into a fine mess and nothing of value is lost.

    NeuralDSP models John Mayer’s entire amp and effects rig—and it sounds great

    Artists who decry AI software for its ability to copy their unique sound are also inviting in software companies to model everything that makes their sound unique. :unsure:

    Bonkers Bitcoin heist: 5-star hotels, cash-filled envelopes, vanishing funds

    Let me help you. You're an idiot and you fell for a classic scam, only superficially different than the Nigerian prince scam.

    Valve rejoins the VR hardware wars with standalone Steam Frame

    That's how WiDi/Miracast works (at least when not in infrastructure mode) so yeah. It's been a thing for like a decade+ now.

    Lawyers keep giving weak-sauce excuses for fake AI citations in court docs

    In my experience "implicated honesty and trustworthiness" is a pre-requisite to practice law.

    FCC Democrat: Trump admin is declaring “Mission Accomplished” on broadband

    License to do business in the state require that employers stop withholding federal tax from employee pay. 🤷‍♂️ Yeah its a little bit of a "soft secession" but it's not like the Rs are obeying the constitution anyway.

    California backs down to Trump admin, won’t force ISPs to offer $15 broadband

    The BEAD money threat was a convenient political fig leaf, Boerner took the ISP payoff to tank the bill.

    Microsoft pushes unphishable logins forward with new sign-in options

    But they haven't made those incompatible. You can still use any of those if you want to use a classic password + TOTP MFA flow. You can also use non-Microsoft Passkey vaults to hold a Microsoft passkey. The only thing that requires their authenticator app is a device-approval passwordless login...
