Support Ars and get a better reading experience in return
支持 Ars，换取更优质的阅读体验
When Ars launched in 1998, there was one way to read it: in a web browser on a PC (or Mac). Your screen of choice was either some massive CRT or a very expensive LCD monitor (or, in my case, the less-expensive grayscale, passive-matrix LCD on a PowerBook). Either way, it was butt in chair, chair at desk.
1998 年 Ars 刚上线时，阅读方式只有一种：在 PC（或 Mac）的网页浏览器中查看。你所使用的屏幕要么是笨重的 CRT 显示器，要么是昂贵的 LCD 显示器（或者像我当时那样，用的是 PowerBook 上那种廉价的灰度无源矩阵 LCD 屏幕）。无论哪种情况，你都得老老实实地坐在桌前。
One of the first perks we offered subscribers way back at the turn of the millennium allowed them to read Ars without a browser. Articles were available as formatted PDF files, so you could print out John Siracusa’s Mac OS X Public Beta review and read it on the subway or build your own searchable archive of your curated Ars content. Another option was full-text RSS feeds—instead of getting a two-paragraph summary, subscribers could browse Ars in their favorite RSS reader.
早在千禧年之交，我们为订阅用户提供的首批福利之一，就是让他们无需浏览器也能阅读 Ars。文章以格式化的 PDF 文件形式提供，因此你可以打印出 John Siracusa 的 Mac OS X 公测版评测，在地铁上阅读，或者建立属于你自己的 Ars 精选内容可搜索存档。另一个选择是全文 RSS 订阅——订阅者无需只看两段式的摘要，而是可以在自己喜欢的 RSS 阅读器中浏览 Ars 的全部内容。
It’s 2026, and while screens have proliferated in size and portability, ArsPro subscribers still get PDFs of every article and full-text RSS feeds, because sometimes the web isn’t always the ideal place to read the web.
现在是 2026 年，尽管屏幕的尺寸和便携性已经有了极大的发展，但 ArsPro 订阅用户依然可以获得每篇文章的 PDF 和全文 RSS 订阅，因为有时候，网页本身并不总是阅读网页内容的最佳场所。
Of course, an ArsPro subscription offers much more than portability. Subscribers also receive: A 100 percent ad-free experience; Access to the deep community found in Ars Technica’s subscriber-only forums; Control over front page information density with four different layouts (grid, list, Classic, and Neutron Star); No trackers; A special user badge for ArsPro++ subscribers.
当然，ArsPro 订阅提供的远不止便携性。订阅者还可以获得：100% 无广告的阅读体验；进入 Ars Technica 订阅者专属论坛，参与深度社区讨论；通过四种不同的布局（网格、列表、经典和中子星）控制首页的信息密度；无追踪器；以及 ArsPro++ 订阅者的专属用户徽章。
These aren’t just perks for power users. They’re ways to make Ars fit how you actually read: save a long feature for a flight, follow every story in RSS, strip away distractions, or spend time with a community that has been arguing intelligently about technology for decades.
这些不仅仅是为高级用户提供的福利。它们旨在让 Ars 适应你的实际阅读习惯：将长篇专题文章保存到飞行途中阅读，通过 RSS 追踪每一篇报道，剔除干扰信息，或者与一个几十年来一直在就技术问题进行理性辩论的社区共度时光。
Subscribing is a win-win proposition: You get an improved reading experience with no ads and no trackers, while your $25 ArsPro or $50 ArsPro++ subscription helps pay for the reporting, analysis, reviews, and all the other deeply geeky things that make Ars Ars. Each subscriber helps us rely less on advertising and more on the readers who truly value the work we do. Don’t delay, subscribe today!
订阅是一个双赢的选择：你获得了无广告、无追踪的优质阅读体验，而你支付的 25 美元 ArsPro 或 50 美元 ArsPro++ 订阅费，则有助于支持我们的报道、分析、评测以及所有让 Ars 成为 Ars 的深度极客内容。每一位订阅者都在帮助我们减少对广告的依赖，转而依靠那些真正重视我们工作的读者。别再犹豫，今天就订阅吧！
