There are 10 skins in the Marvel Rivals season 2 battle pass, most of which fit into a black tie gala theme. While two of these skins are available for free, the other eight require you to purchase the paid “luxury” battle pass, just like in season 1 with the Darkhold. Below, we’ll show you all skins in the Marvel Rivals season 2 battle pass, plus details about what else is in the battle pass and how many Chrono Tokens each item costs. Marvel Rivals season 2 skins list: How many skins are in the battle pass? The season 2 battle pass offers eight unique skins for those willing to purchase the paid “luxury” version. There are two free skins for all players. There are also a variety of other items in the pass, which consist of things you’d find in the skin bundles in the store, like nameplates, sprays, and emotes that go with the various skins.

Launched to appeal to the crowd that wants a big TV but doesn’t want that TV to dominate their decor, its main feature is an anti-reflection matte display that took the “framed artwork” aspect to new levels—and with 4K picture quality. As the name implies, the allure of this TV is that it can double as a digital art frame, with its anti-glare matte display and customizable frame.I first saw the 2022 version up close when it was released, admittedly having been fooled by my brother into thinking it was an actual painting (it really does look like one). The matte screen does a good job of making the TV seem like a painting, and it's great for bright rooms that might otherwise get a lot of glare from the screen. That version had an "average" review from PCMag due mainly to poor contrast and its price. However, the new 2024 version is the latest generation of this series and has notable improvements.You'll get an improved refresh rate of 120Hz, the same QLED display, and 4K resolution with a Quantum 4K processor. You can buy frames separately to your taste—and even design them with a Harry Potter theme, like this guy on TikTok did.

The never-ending Trump tariff saga continues. Tesla has halted Model S and X sales in China, according to reporting by Bloomberg. These particular vehicles are imported to the country from the US so they are impacted by a 125 percent tariff on goods flowing into China. This was enacted by China in response to President Trump placing a 145 percent tariff on imported goods from the country.  This isn’t a huge deal for Tesla, as the high-end Model S and Model X are some of the company’s least-popular vehicles in the region. It’s still selling off pre-existing inventory, but the models will be unavailable after that. The more affordable Model 3 and Model Y vehicles are actually made at Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory, so they aren’t impacted by the tariffs.  Trump's tariffs on China and the ones the country has put on the US in response could seriously harm the EV industry here in the states. The European Union has been thinking about opening up its doors to more Chinese electric vehicles, which would likely ding American automakers. Many Chinese-made EVs are significantly more budget-friendly than their American-made counterparts. For instance, the BYD Seagull hatchback would cost just $9,600 in US dollars. Chinese EV manufacturers are also making strides in the world of autonomous driving. As for the tariffs, who knows what the future will bring. Maybe they’ll go away tomorrow or maybe President Trump will whip out his poison pen and increase them tenfold on a whim. What a nice predictable world we live in.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/tesla-halts-model-s-and-x-sales-in-china-due-to-tariffs-185752814.html?src=rss

Senators including Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Chuck Schumer of New York signed a letter on Friday asking the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to investigate President Trump. The move comes after the president’s April 9 Truth Social post in which he told followers it was a “GREAT TIME TO BUY”—just hours before announcing a 90-day pause on the sweeping international tariffs that he’d enacted just days earlier.  The letter urges the SEC to determine if any administration officials or insiders engaged in “insider trading, market manipulation, or other securities laws violations.” It also comes following a video filmed in the Oval Office of Trump explaining how much several of his guests made in the market on Wednesday.  “He made $2.5 billion today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad,” Trump said in the video, posted by More Perfect Union on X, pointing out his friend and investor Charles Schwab as one of the beneficiaries of the intense gains the stock market made on Wednesday.  U.S. stocks rose at record-breaking speeds on Wednesday as Trump paused some of his tariffs. The S&P 500 surged 9.5% in response to his announcement, marking the third-best day for the index since 1940.  Questions around SEC’s ability to pursue enforcement The senators’ letter, addressed to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, also poses a series of questions, including about cutbacks in staff and enforcement activity at the SEC. The questions ask explicitly about the SEC’s ability to “monitor and respond to large-scale market events” and “investigate and pursue enforcement actions.”  Warren posted a tweet Friday morning concerning the investigation request. “Did President Trump tip off big donors or family to cash in on his tariff chaos?” she wrote. “Today with @SenSchumer and Senate Democrats, I officially called for an SEC investigation to find out. Presidents are not kings.”  Jordan Belfort, a former Wall Street stockbroker and convicted financial criminal known as the “Wolf of Wall Street,” told Sky News that there’s “no way” Trump is guilty of illegal insider trading.  “I personally don’t find it overly suspicious. Especially since he’s told it to everybody at once,” Belfort said in a segment of The World.  White House spokesperson Kush Desai responded to Fast Company’s inquiry with the following statement:  “It is the responsibility of the President of the United States to reassure the markets and Americans about their economic security in the face of nonstop media fearmongering,” Desai said. “Democrats railed against China’s cheating for decades, and now they’re playing partisan games instead of celebrating President Trump’s decisive action [Wednesday] to finally corner China.”  A spokesperson for the SEC declined to comment.  On Thursday, Senators Adam Schiff of California and Ruben Gallego of Arizona also sent a letter, this one to White House Chief of Staff Susan Wiles and U.S. Office of Government Ethics Acting Director Jamieson Greer, requesting an “urgent inquiry into whether President Trump, his family, or other members of the administration engaged in insider trading or other illegal financial transactions.”  A list of questions requesting information about alleged ethical violations by White House administration or members of Trump’s family follows, with a deadline of April 18. 

For adventure seekers, carrying essential EDC is vital for survival and protection in the wild. Flashlight is one of them – be it hiking, camping, fishing, or exploring the great outdoors. There are plenty of options on the market, including Olight, Fenix, Nitecore and ThruNite – known for their brightness levels in a compact form and rugged build that can take on any of nature’s elements. Wuben, however, wants to get the better of every OG flashlight you swear by with a utilitarian offering that is palm-sized and fits your EDC kit without any headaches. This is the Wuben G5 EDC flashlight that is built for any unknown adventures, proving to be a lifesaver in most situations. Wuben likes to call its outdoor flashlights ECL (Easy Carry Light), and this one is true to its name. Designer: Wuben The all-purpose EDC has a design that’s unique compared to similar outdoor gear available for purchase, thus making it worth the attention. Its small form factor, designed to fit in your pocket like a lighter, means you don’t have to make extra space in your backpack if it is already full to the brim. Wuben G5 flashlight comes with a built-in adjustable clip and a strong magnet to tether it to any metal objects. This is useful when your hands are occupied. The accessory comes with a lanyard too, so that you can attach it to anything desired. Compared to the X2 Pro series by the maker, the G5 flashlight loses out on the sidelight and the electronic battery to achieve a compact size. It is IP68-rated for protection against water dunks up to 2 meters and dirt protection. Also, the pressure-proof design reassures it won’t budge if run over by a vehicle, or if someone accidentally slips on it, or if you throw it in your luggage with heavy items on top. The design of the 52-gram ECL is squarish and flat, so that it doesn’t topple over very easily. On top, there is a flashlight head that turns 180 degrees, for hands-free convenience. A 180-degree movable spring tensioned clip can hook onto things and gives more freedom of movement. This comes in handy when you are moving through a thick jungle of bushes, and you need to keep the light steady, pointed in a particular direction. The little flashlight can go up to a maximum of 400 lumens brightness, with a beam distance of 82 meters, which is enough illumination in the pitch dark. Depending on usage, the internal battery lasts for around 50 to 60 minutes before needing a recharge. You can toggle the brightness levels using a rotatable tactile switch, or change the color of the projected light in the RGB spectrum. G5 comes with a beacon mode that flashes blue and red light, but we would suggest not using it unless it is an emergency, else you’ll have to do some explaining to the local authorities. Wuben has cleverly designed the switch on the toggle that alternates to reveal the USB-C charging port. For $25, the compact and lightweight flashlight promises the ultimate convenience and adaptability with its clip-on mechanism.
