After Hyundai started making them in the USA, the popular EV became briefly eligible — but mysteriously lost eligibility weeks later, possibly over its batteries. Now, the Ioniq 5 is finally back on the list, until or unless Trump kills the credit entirely. It may not make a difference for many buyers: Hyundai was already offering its own $7,500 discount as a stopgap until the credit came back online.

Polygon isn’t dead, contrary to this website’s headline — a very small number of our former colleagues will join the site’s new owner, and I’m wishing them the very best. But that doesn’t detract from the simple beauty of Kaylee Rowena’s new microsite, which helps you follow lots of wonderful humans who weren’t given that kind of choice.
Who wants to pay $979 for a gadget that cost $669 just two months ago? But we discovered Amazon will sell you one from Germany for $657 with free shipping. You have to pay the tariffs, but Amazon claims it’ll collect a deposit on those -- it works out to $726.92 after tax for me in California. Amazon warns you may not have a warranty this way, though.

The other day, I told you about the ESR MagMouse with its built-in magnets and charge cable, but my video wasn’t ready yet. Now it is! And because people have asked: this wallet-sized viewing card is what I’m using to see the magnetic fields. (Note: If you buy via that link, we might get affiliate revenue.) Should I do a video about it, too?
