Showing off carrier-explode, one of my side projects that continuously archives carrier settings for all major phone brands. carrier-explode also contains decoders and explanations for all the common baseband configurations, etc. There’s still quite a bit of work to be done in checking my assumptions, but the tool has already been proven useful for a few enthusiast groups.

Apple’s original music player got many things right. Chief among them: It didn’t connect to the internet.

The Playdate, Panic's tiny yellow handheld that launched in 2022, has slowly but surely become a great deal - which is a good thing, because everything else in gaming has only gotten more expensive. Despite being a weird device with a black-and-white screen and a crank jutting out the side, the Playdate has managed to […]

Meta has banned ads from TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance across the US and several other countries as the rivalry between the major social media operators heats up, as reported earlier by Bloomberg. The ban, which went into effect on Thursday, restricts ads and paid marketing messages from ByteDance, along with third-party ads that link […]

Google's new operating system is off to a rocky start. The five newly launched Googlebook laptops have hardware that ranges from great to excellent, but the software in its current state is the weak point. There are four of us on staff at The Verge actively testing Googlebooks and, frankly, our internal Slack discussions have […]

Before there were cute little guys, there was Instinct. In August, the startup got its AI agent to market with an unusual playbook: invite-only, no marketing, and barely so much as a website. And yet, Instinct quickly became the buzziest thing in AI, garnering praise for its straightforward, text message-based interface and its ability to […]

President Donald Trump has a knack for turning words against his enemies. His first successful presidential run was built on monikers like "Little Marco" and "Crooked Hillary"; he changed "fake news" from a phrase describing scammy media outlets to a derogatory term for the press at large. Over the past few weeks, he's clearly decided […]

It's gadget season, and a lot of companies are launching a lot of new products. But whether it's Microsoft dropping a high-end laptop, Amazon shipping a fancy Android tablet, or Apple diving headlong into the smart home, the actual strategy appears to be almost always the same. All these companies believe AI assistants and agents […]

YouTube, Twitch, Meta, and X aren't saying whether they'll allow the US government to livestream an execution on their platforms. The four companies didn't respond to The Verge's requests for comment after an unnamed Pentagon official said yesterday that the execution of Nidal Hasan, who was convicted of a mass shooting at a Texas military […]

Flock would not say if CEO Garrett Langley would take a pay cut following the reduction in workforce.

Sources say his departure followed a demotion back to his previous position, marking another executive exit amid the organization's leadership turmoil.

Moore sees a huge opportunity in consumer AI, particularly if the industry can tap into revenue streams beyond just subscriptions and API charges.

Orkut's founder is now taking aim at algorithms and AI-generated content.

I spent the first evening sure the patch was finished, because the sample opened and the assertion printed the name I expected. Have you ever watched a text-mode read succeed on your laptop and then die the moment a clean job starts? I had a short traceback, a green local run, and a bad guess that the suggested edit had covered the real open. The bytes were valid UTF-8, so why did the clean job talk about an ASCII codec at all? What I tried before I blamed the file I started wher...

I run a Job Postings Search API ( https://x402.freeq.one/tools/jobs.html ) that queries live postings across boards and returns structured results — title, company, location, apply URL, salary, description. Building it taught me my favorite kind of lesson: the data lies in boring, predictable ways. First real test: "backend engineer, Berlin". 240 hits. 178 unique jobs. The same posting appeared five times. Companies publish through their ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday), then the listing g...

Independent review. I ran both tools on my own accounts, free and paid, with no vendor-provided access or early access of any kind. A photograph of crumpled foil should produce an object that looks like chance made it. The blue container in my source picture has crossed ridges, different-sized recesses and no repeated central motif. I gave the same picture to Hyper3D and SupaVoxel, downloaded the textured models and took off their paint. Hyper3D had preserved folds, but arranged them li...

Most Java developers know String.intern() exists. Far fewer think about what actually happens when millions of duplicate or unique strings start flowing through a production JVM. This visual breaks down: • how the String Pool works inside the heap • why literals and new String() behave differently • when intern() can save memory • why == and .equals() are fundamentally different • how excessive interning can increase memory pressure • where UseStringDeduplication and St...

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Touch Grass Bingo is a nature bingo card that you play outside. You open it, get a seasonal card (a red leaf, an acorn, moss, a feather, a mushroom…), and put your phone away. When you find something, you take one photo. An open-weight vision model running on your phone checks it and marks the square. The center square is never free. It is "Touch grass" : a photo of your ...
