Ditch the single-use plastics this #EarthDay and nab yourself a reusable water bottle. If not for the planet, then for nicer lids and a better aesthetic. Here’s the tea on what WIRED staff are sipping from. wired.trib.al/xDtvzQJ 1/7
Drink big with the Stanley Master Unbreakable Thermal Bottle. It’s big (duh) but also insulated to keep your water ice cold or your coffee piping-hot all day long. Everything about it feels secure and well-built. wired.trib.al/xDtvzQJ 📸: REI 2/7
Both the insulated and uninsulated versions of the Miir Narrow Mouth Bottle are winners. The build quality is as robust as an F-150, and the powder coating is near bombproof. It makes the perfect pick for clumsy adventurers. wired.trib.al/xDtvzQJ 📸: Amazon 3/7
If you want to go green but prefer plastic for its lightness, we’ve got you. Despite not being made of metal, the CamelBak Eddy+ Renew is thick and well built. And the flip-up straw saves you from the monotony of unscrewing a lid. wired.trib.al/xDtvzQJ 📸: CamelBak 4/7
For something sturdy but stylish we’re sold on the Greens Steel Insulated Bottle. It comes with a removable loop and clip so you can attach it to a backpack. And no, they’re not related to the S'well bottle—we asked. wired.trib.al/xDtvzQJ

Before we go we have to mention the Klean Kanteen Classic. Both the insulated and uninsulated versions have a rolled lip to drink from, and they're relatively light for bottles made of stainless steel. wired.trib.al/xDtvzQJ 📸: Amazon 6/7

Netflix is cracking down on password sharing—proving that sharing isn’t always caring, especially for streaming services. wired.trib.al/iYLklfU 1/10
In a letter to shareholders, the streaming giant said it had a net loss of about 200,000 subscribers this quarter, from 221,840,000 down to 221,640,000. And Netflix is projecting that those numbers will keep sliding down. 2/10
“I feel like Netflix is in crisis-reaction mode and taking a large pendulum swing in one direction, but they haven't given users the necessary tools to address it first,” says David Kennedy, CEO of the incident response consultancy TrustedSec. 3/10

Don Cameron sloshed through the land. More of his crops were underwater than at any time since he began farming in California’s San Joaquin Valley.

But while others dropped sandbags to hold back the flood he took a different approach. wired.trib.al/ecntp7Q 1/12
It was early 2017, and after five years of drought, the valley was in the midst of its second-wettest year on record. Cameron measured the depth of the drink and inspected the new growth on his vines and trees. Then he ordered more water to come.
📸: Nicholas Albrecht 2/12
Farmers in Cameron’s area do not hold rights to any nearby river, or to the supplies piped in through government projects; they either buy from people who do or, more often, pump what they need out of the aquifers. 3/12

This weekend, our WIRED editors found a surprising number of discounts in a wide variety of categories…everything from the best deals on gaming gear to sex toys, office chairs, tech, and cookware. wired.trib.al/jht2gKr 1/7
As allergy season starts to ramp up, Coway's Airmega 400 air purifier for $383 ($266 off) is a welcome addition to any home. It's big and best suited for large spaces, plus, it's surprisingly quiet. wired.trib.al/SdKxwvU 📸: Coway 2/7 Image
The All-Clad’s Factory Seconds Sale lets you nab their cookware at a more affordable price. We love All-Clad's pots and pans. They're long-lasting and rarely go on sale. The cookware sale ends on April 10. wired.trib.al/vSMrf0z 📸: All-Clad 3/7 Image

A radio transmission between Russian soldiers in Ukraine from early March, captured from an unencrypted channel, reveals panicked and confused comrades retreating after coming under fire.

But, as they spoke, an AI was listening. wired.trib.al/X7vZKRY 📸: Getty 1/12
Their words were automatically captured, transcribed, translated, and analyzed using several artificial intelligence algorithms developed by Primer, a US company that provides AI services for intelligence analysts. 2/12
While it isn’t clear whether Ukrainian troops also intercepted the communication, the use of AI systems to surveil Russia’s army at scale illustrates the growing importance of open source intelligence in military conflicts. 3/12

The Razer Opus headset is a killer affordable option. The body is a semi-matte plastic that feels high-quality and lightweight. The ear cups are incredibly soft and it comes with THX-tuned surround sound. wired.trib.al/j3y7lAl 📸: Razer 3/8
