Win hardware, collectibles, and more in the 2025 Ars Technica Charity Drive

I'm lovin' this charity drive! It's like our government is doing something right when they encourage private citizens to give back to society ๐Ÿ™Œ. I mean, think about it, we're living in a time where corporations and individuals are already shelling out millions for various causes, so why not make it easy for people to participate? ๐Ÿค”

It's also interesting to see how this event highlights the importance of supporting organizations like EFF and Child's Play. These guys are doing real work, advocating for net neutrality and helping kids in need - that's something we can all get behind! ๐Ÿ‘ The prizes are just the cherry on top, I guess ๐ŸŽ.

But let's be real, if our politicians were as effective at mobilizing people around a cause as Ars Technica is with this charity drive, we'd have solved some of our nation's problems by now ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. So, while I'm all for this initiative, can't we just get our leaders to put their money where their mouth is? ๐Ÿ’ธ
 
I'm totally stoked about this charity drive ๐Ÿคฉ! It's amazing to see how Ars Technica has been supporting good causes for years now. The prizes they're offering are insane - I mean, who wouldn't want a Pixel 9 Pro Fold or an Analogue 3D retro gaming console? ๐Ÿ˜‚ But seriously, it's awesome that people can support organizations like Child's Play and EFF, which do such important work.

I've always been a fan of open-source hardware too, so the OpenWRT One prize is totally up my alley ๐Ÿค–. And the fact that they're including free entry options for those who don't want to donate makes it feel more accessible to everyone.

The sweepstakes period might be over by 2026, but it's always good to check out charity drives in general - there are so many amazing organizations doing great work and it's awesome to support them ๐Ÿ’•.
 
๐Ÿคฉ I'm so down for this! Back in my day ๐Ÿ™„ we used to play games on our Commodore 64s and just dreamed of winning big like now! It's awesome that Ars Technica is doing this charity drive again, supporting such cool causes like Child's Play and the EFF. Those prizes? Mind-blowing ๐Ÿคฏ! I'm definitely entering the sweepstakes โ€“ fingers crossed! ๐Ÿ’ช Donate a little or not at all, it's still about giving back to good karma ๐Ÿ˜Š. And let me tell you, that vintage Atari console is calling my name ๐Ÿ“บ!
 
I gotta say, I'm a bit skeptical about these charity drives ๐Ÿค‘. Don't get me wrong, supporting good causes is awesome, but sometimes it feels like people are throwing around cash like it's going out of style ๐Ÿ’ธ. Like, what's the real impact here? Is it just a bunch of rich folks donating some spare change and then expecting us to drool over their 'generosity' ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ?

And have you seen the prices for these prizes? $5k+ is wild ๐Ÿค‘. I mean, I'd love to win a sweet Apple Watch or a gaming console, but is that really what's driving people to donate? Is it just so they can say "oh look, I'm a good person" ๐Ÿ™„?

I think we should be looking at the bigger picture here ๐Ÿ’ก. What are these charities actually doing with all this money? Are they transparent about their budgets and goals? Or is it just a bunch of corporate PR spin ๐Ÿ“ข?
 
Ugh, just saw a report on global temperatures rising by like 1 degree Celsius over the past decade ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. Scientists are saying we're still in a state of emergency and need to cut emissions ASAP. Like, what's the point of winning some gaming prize if our planet is toast? ๐Ÿ’”
