It’s one thing to do a bit of online shopping during Amazon’s Prime Day sales, but it’s another to put your money where your mouth is. (Where did that phrase come from, anyway?) If you’re curious, here are some of the items that staff members from The Verge bought for themselves. My fancy Withings smart […]
Security researchers found two flaws in an AI-powered chatbot used by McDonald’s to interact with job applicants.
Apolink, a Y Combinator-backed space-tech startup, has raised $4.3 million in an “oversubscribed” seed round at $45 million post-money valuation to build a real-time connectivity network for satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO).
Helios, a startup aiming to build an AI-powered operating system for policy professionals, has raised $4 million in seed funding.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly smartwatch that doesn’t skimp on features, the Amazfit Active 2 is one of the best Prime Day deals you’ll find. Normally $99.99, it was already a great deal in and of itself, but right now it’s practically a steal starting at $79.99 ($20 off) directly from Amazfit and Amazon, […]

Not enough foldable phones are priced for people who just want to try them out without going broke. We used to love pointing readers to deals on the Microsoft Surface Duo, which have since gone extinct, it seems. And, the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE? $900 isn’t all that cheap, actually. So, this Prime […]
It’s always felt to me like there’s a threshold foldables need to hit before they can truly become mainstream: they need to be no bigger than a regular old phone. And now Samsung has finally gotten its flagship there with the Z Fold 7, which is just barely thicker than an iPhone 16 Pro. I […]
One of the pleasant surprises of the Switch 2 launch was how well the hardware managed big games not made by Nintendo. It’s something the company’s underpowered consoles have often struggled with, but the Switch 2 is a good place to play technical showpieces like Cyberpunk 2077 – though that originally debuted in 2020.
