Hi everyone! I’m John Higgins, the new senior reviewer of TVs and audio here at The Verge. I joined the team just over a month ago, and am raring to go. I’ve been in tech publishing in some capacity for a little over 20 years, starting at Home Theater Magazine back in 2003 as I […]
Huawei is the latest phone manufacturer to release a thin phone: the Mate 70 Air. That’s our third Air for the year — after the iPhone and ZTE’s Nubia Air — to only two Edges, suggesting Apple’s influence still reigns supreme over Samsung’s.

That’s the lowest price we’ve seen on Apple’s slim laptop, letting you save more than […]

Did your Stream Deck sprout a red “Device Not Supported” badge where a button used to be? If so, you were probably using BarRaider’s popular plug-ins, which apparently check to see if StreamDeck.exe is digitally signed — and it just so happens that Elgato’s digital signature expired yesterday (see image below).
