AI coding agents can generate software faster, but they lack production context. Learn how runtime intelligence could help AI agents build more reliable code.

Bose’s sequel to the QuietComfort Headphones is incredibly comfortable and has excellent noise-canceling, but those traits are no longer enough to beat the competition.

A soundbar is the easiest way to upgrade your home entertainment setup. Grab one of our favorites on sale during October Prime Day.

Soon, hundreds of new top-level domains, including .meow and .fart, could be added to the internet. WIRED goes inside the backroom shenanigans of ICANN, the organization at the helm.

The author of The AGI Chronicles says his book “was written by a very tired, overworked, under-slept human being.”

The Bluetti Elite 300, my favorite portable power station, is on sale, and it’s perfect if you want to go off-grid or have a backup at home.

The Nothing Headphone (1) is one of my favorites for its stylish design, tactile on-ear controls, and fun sound. It’s over $100 off for Prime Day.

Some gadgets don’t live up to their promises. These automatic feeders, litter boxes, fountains, and cameras earned my recommendation.

This pocket-size Raspberry Pi handheld has a fantastic retro-ready screen, but awful controls and awkward software deal it a losing hand.

Confession: When BougeRV told me about its remote-controlled wagon with animated lighting, I called it in for a laugh, expecting to eviscerate it in a review. It's ridiculous, to be sure. But the DuneRover also proved very capable, with enough torque to flatten hills even when carrying over 200 pounds of gear. It can also […]

An unsettling Alexa Plus bug has seen some Amazon Echo smart home speakers reduced to saying - and sometimes singing - nothing but "lalala" on repeat for minutes at a time, often in the middle of conversations with users. When quizzed about the behavior, Alexa is apparently entirely unaware of what it's been doing. The […]

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event has begun, and it lasts through 3AM ET on Thursday, October 8th. We’ve spun through the company’s huge list of deals to find products that Verge readers will like (and that we personally like, too). There are plenty of headphone deals, plus some great products in the home entertainment […]

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days (also known as October Prime Day) is here, serving as a precursor to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There are a ton of good deals, and bundling them all into this package is the easiest way to keep the blast of upcoming coverage under control. Below, you’ll find every deal […]

During Amazon’s October sale, the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL are discounted by $250 or more. The base model Pixel 11 Pro with 256GB of storage is only $849 (originally $1,099), $50 lower than the usual price for the base Pixel 11, while the 256GB 11 Pro XL is $999, a $300 […]

Type One Energy is betting that its lean approach to fusion power will get a power plant on the grid faster, and investors have rewarded it with $200 million.

I wanted icons that look drawn with a pencil: lines that run a little past their ends, box corners that cross, circles that don't quite close where they started. But I also wanted them to behave like a normal icon set: same grid, same stroke, currentColor , tree-shakable, and the exact same drawing on the server and in the browser. The result is Matita (Italian for pencil): 173 icons, MIT, on npm as @matita/icons . This post is about the small engine that draws them. Gl...

GitHub profile READMEs are a strange place to draw anything. Your image is served through GitHub's image proxy and embedded with an <img> tag. That means no JavaScript, no web fonts, no external stylesheets, and no idea whether the viewer uses the light or the dark theme. On top of that, I wanted the image regenerated every day by a GitHub Action without changing a single byte when the data hadn't changed. Within those limits, I wanted a 3D contribution graph: every day of the last ye...

Industry companies have been logging hardware, assets, people, and buildings onto digital infrastructure for many years: sensors take readings, RFID technologies track assets, cameras monitor their surroundings, and enterprise software recording both. But more data isn't necessarily leading to better decisions. Harder still is tying that data to context, decisions, and ultimately physical action. That's where the evolution from Industrial IoT to AIoT and Physical AI really comes into pl...

For anyone managing finances, whether personal, freelance, or small business, the task of turning physical receipts into structured data for accounting software or spreadsheets is a perennial chore. Historically, this has been a painful process, riddled with manual data entry, errors, and frustration. But as we look towards 2026, the landscape of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Vision AI has matured significantly, making this once-daunting task genuinely achievable and reliable. This ...

Adding an AI model to an application can look simple from the outside. Send a prompt, receive a response, and display the result. In a real application, however, the model is only one part of the system. Developers also need to think about authentication, APIs, data access, error handling, latency, monitoring, and what happens when the model produces an unexpected response. The interesting engineering problem is not simply how to call an AI model . It is how to connect that model to an...

If you can ship a clean Framer or Webflow site, you're already ahead of most people on the "can build" side. The part that trips developers up is getting found by the right clients. Here's a system that treats client acquisition like an engineering problem: define inputs, run experiments, measure. Define your spec (positioning) Write one sentence: who you help, what outcome you deliver, how fast, and proof. "I build editable Framer marketing sites for seed-stage SaaS teams, typically live i...

If you build software for 85+ million Persian speakers, you need Jalali (Solar Hijri) dates. And if you do it in PHP, you've probably met the usual suspects: libraries built a decade ago, strftime() calls that PHP 8.1 deprecated, mutable date objects that cause spooky action-at-a-distance in queue workers, and holiday lists you have to maintain by hand. I built ParsiDate to fix that for my own projects. It's now at v1.1.0, MIT licensed, with 136 passing tests: composer require mah...

For years, the web development industry has been framed as a choice between two extremes: write code from scratch or avoid code altogether with no-code tools. But that distinction is becoming less useful. AI is creating a third approach where developers still write, review, test, and own the code, while AI handles much of the repetitive work around it. A developer can describe a feature in plain language, generate a first implementation, inspect the logic, ask AI to refactor it, run tests, f...

The first version of a stablecoin checkout often looks perfectly reasonable. You support USDT, so you define the networks your application accepts: const supportedNetworks = { USDT : [ " Ethereum " , " Tron " , " BSC " ] }; The frontend uses that list to populate a selector, the backend uses the selected value to create a payment, and everything works. Until the assumptions behind that array stop being true. A network may be added or remo...

Finding high-quality design inspiration is essential for UI/UX designers, Framer developers, and Webflow creators. Whether you are building landing pages, SaaS platforms, or personal portfolios, exploring curated design galleries helps streamline the creative process. Top Platforms for Design Inspiration ThemesMotion – A dedicated discovery platform for UI/UX inspiration, Webflow templates, Framer components, and modern website layouts.

TL;DR We'll build the backend for a members-only video library: upload assets as private, create an RSA signing key, mint a short-lived JWT per viewer in a FastAPI endpoint, and hand the player a stream URL plus a thumbnail URL that both carry the token. Then we'll prove the thumbnail is locked too, because that's the one everybody forgets. The naive version of a paywalled video library is: check the session, render a player, done. The .m3u8 URL in that player is public. Anyone who co...

At the moment I self host using maddy for a bunch of domains that need a mailbox or catch all. There are some minor issues with it - some are me, some are who knows. The biggest bug bear is that the native email client on iOS takes an age to connect and download messages which causes some issues with OTP emails. So for those out there that do host their own email - what are you running, what would you change?
