    280 million e-bikes are slashing oil demand far more than electric vehicles

    Would you mind sharing any more details on the gear you’ve got? I’m hoping to do more cycling this winter than I would have in the past, which is also a nice excuse to buy more equipment.

    I’ll never look at a laptop the same way again after reading this sentence

    Pistol shrimp sport tiny helmets to protect selves from their own shock waves

    This whole article kind of makes the pistol shrimp sound like one of the X-Men, which is great

    The Antikythera shipwreck in Greece continues to yield priceless treasures

    Thanks for digging out that old article. I, too, would really love to see an Ars report do a deeper dive* into the Exosuit and other diving hardsuits. *please don't ban me

    How a Twitter hoax gave false hope for a Metal Gear Solid remaster

    MGS4 was, in my opinion, the first game in the series that really deserved the criticism that the whole series has received: that Kojima probably just wants to make films and the games play like movies that you occasionally get to control. The way I remember it, the game is either not...

    Investment platform pays record $140,000 for sealed Super Mario Bros.

    I remember looking at eBay in the early 2000s (ish, who remembers that far back anyway) and thinking that £150 for a copy of Radiant Silvergun was pure insanity.

    I don't understand why they wouldn't want people filming in there, is it known why they have this policy?

The AMG will also probably have...

    Sportbacks, TIE fighters, and the Panthermobile: the 2016 LA Auto Show

    I suppose you could investigate adding a battery pack to compensate for the reduction in range caused by having to tow the thing, but my understanding is that Airstreams are fairly expensive to begin with.

    Cluster of “megabreaches” compromise a whopping 642 million passwords

    There's even a song about it, which inspired me to delete my account years ago. Looking at the dates I still might have got caught out by the breach but at least nobody can get at whatever nonsense I used to post to it.
