Tesla Model 3 Long Range with Rear-Wheel Drive Reemerges at $42,490 Image: Tesla Tesla is bringing back its longest-range Model 3, which will also be the second cheapest version of the popular electric sedan available. The new trim will be available for $42,490, according to the website. The rear-wheel-drive (RWD) version of the Long Range Model 3 will get an EPA-estimated range of 363 miles.

Tesla originally introduced the Long Range RWD Model 3 in 2017 but discontinued it two years later.

After years of providing air support to his predecessor, Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) is the Captain in Brave New World’s first trailer, which opens up at a time when Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford) has become president of the United States. It gives Sam pause to hear that Ross is keen on making Captain America part of the American government once…

Samsung’s New Folds, Flips, and Apple Clones As the rest of the tech industry seems to mostly shift to overproduced infomercials for their product launches, Samsung is holding fast to its love for giant live events in huge arenas. This year, at Unpacked in Paris, the company announced a whole lineup of new gadgets. The new Fold and Flip look nice but also a bit uninspired; the Watch Ultra and Buds 3 look almost too familiar; and the Galaxy Ring might be the beginning of something really cool. On this episode of The Vergecast, we talk through all of Samsung’s announcements and try to figure out whether “Apple products but for Android” is actually a winning strategy. It might be! Plus, we debate what to make of Samsung’s somewhat lackluster…

Zwischenablage-Manager Maccy: Letztes Update vor dem Neuanfang Der Zwischenablage-Manager Maccy ist in Version 1.0 erschienen. Mit diesem Update stellt der Entwickler der App die Arbeit an der ursprünglichen Version von Maccy größtenteils ein. Die App soll in der Folge nun komplett neu aufgebaut und mit Unterstützung für die neuesten Apple-Technologien ausgestattet werden. Wir haben im vergangenen Monat bereits über diesen Plan des Entwicklers berichtet. Die grundlegende Überarbeitung der App öffnet nicht nur die Türen für zusätzliche Funktionen, sondern sollte gleichermaßen die Arbeit des Entwicklers vereinfachen und die Leistung der Anwendung bei ihren Nutzern verbessern. Einziges Manko ist die Tatsache, dass künftige Versionen von Maccy nicht mehr mit älteren Versionen des Mac-Betriebssystems als macOS 14 kompatibel sein werden. Der Entwickler hat mit Blick auf diese Einschränkung aber auch schon dargelegt, dass…
