Rivian now has a bedroom to go with its kitchen

Pop shell, have tent. | Image: iKamper

Rivian and camping gear company iKamper have launched a new tent designed for the R1T electric truck that’s based on iKamper’s Skycamp 3.0 Mini pop-out tent. The $4,595 Skycamp Mini add-on stows away in a hardshell case that fits over Rivian’s bed rack and pops out to the side of the truck with a ladder to help you climb inside. 

Since the shell isn’t directly on the roof like the official Yakima one designed for the R1S, the Skycamp Mini isn’t as much of a burden on the R1T’s aerodynamics, which could be important for range on your next trip. The tent also doesn’t eat into the truck bed space like Tesla’s rear-extending official CyberTent for the Cybertruck. So you have more space to store things like Rivian’s fold-and-stow cooktop system that adds two induction burners you can use right on the tailgate.

As reported by RivianTrackr, the new Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini has a yellow color scheme matching the automaker and has locking crossbar brackets that work with Rivian’s Adventure Key set for added security and convenience. Plus, a “deluxe” self-inflating mattress is included instead of a foam one with the regular Skycamp Mini.

You can order the iKamper directly from the company’s website for $4,595 plus $199 shipping to the contiguous US (and $800 for Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and some parts of Alaska). It’s a $350 premium over the standard Skycamp Mini model (or $50 more if you manually add the inflatable mattress). As a promo, iKamper is including a “Disco Series” stove through April 15th while supplies last.

Pandora Stories lets artists add commentary to their own playlists

Pandora launched Stories today, a tool that lets artists and creators add voice commentary to their own playlists.

Instagram’s updated algorithm prioritizes original content instead of rip-offs

Image: Kristen Radtke / The Verge Instagram is making significant changes to how its system recommends content, with a focus on original content and increased distribution for smaller accounts. The slew of changes were announced by the company in a blog post today. The biggest change deals with aggregators — accounts that download or screenshot other users’ videos and photos and repost them. Sometimes aggregators will credit the original poster by tagging them in the post or caption, but often, content is wholesale ripped off with no acknowledgment, and engagement is siphoned off from the person who created the content in the first place. Instagram clearly has a problem with this and will begin removing reposted content from recommendations across the platform. The... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/ECgcPAU

We asked camera companies why their RAW formats are all different and confusing

When you set up a new camera, or even go to take a picture on some smartphones, you’re presented with a key choice: JPG or RAW? JPGs are ready to post just about anywhere, while RAWs yield an unfinished file filled with extra data that allows for much richer post-processing. That option for a RAW file (and even the generic name, RAW) has been standardized across the camera industry — but despite that, the camera world has never actually settled on one standardized RAW format. Most cameras capture RAW files in proprietary formats, like Canon’s CR3, Nikon’s NEF, and Sony’s ARW. The result is a world of compatibility issues. Photo editing software needs to specifically support not just each manufacturer’s file type but also make changes for each new camera that shoots it. That creates pain for app developers and early camera adopters who want to know that their preferred software will just work. Adobe tried to solve this problem years ago with a universal RAW form...
