Alienware’s latest gaming monitor explores a new size and resolution for ultrawide monitors, and I have a feeling PC gamers are going to love it.

The Fan Edition phones are rarely Samsung's most exciting launches of the year, but the new Galaxy S26 FE feels especially familiar. Hardware-wise, little has changed since the S25 FE launched 12 months ago, and the upgrades have mostly come in the form of software tricks which themselves were already seen on this year's previous […]

Your honor, We all know that the woman who sits before you is tired. Just look at the circles under her eyes. The novelty Pride and Prejudice T-shirt and Muji sweatpants that pass for pajamas. The unkempt, banana clip hairstyle that says "I really did wake up like this." But she's doing her best. And […]

Adobe is rolling out an AI-heavy update for Photoshop that includes a new "optional" interface dedicated to its AI tools. Launching in beta, the "AI Assisted Editor" view will show all of Photoshop's AI features in a single toolbar, including its prompt-based image editor, background remover, an AI image extender, and more. There are also […]

Plaud has introduced a new AI wearable that's designed to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations, only this time it looks like earbuds instead of a pin. The Plaud One Explorer Edition can be worn like traditional earbuds or used through its standalone charging case, and the case includes built-in 4G to upload and process […]

Hugging Face's Pollen Robotics has launched its second cute AI robot, the Microduck, a one-eyed biped standing just under 10 inches tall. It's available to preorder now for $399 in cream, graphite, lavender, and sky blue, and Pollen Robotics says it plans to start shipping the little robot "before Christmas 2026." Video demos of the […]

Today on Decoder, I’m talking to Verge senior AI reporter Hayden Field about some pure Decoder bait: the seemingly-endless org chart changes at OpenAI, and how all of them seem to consolidate power under cofounder Greg Brockman, the company’s president. While Sam Altman is the CEO and still OpenAI’s most public face, Brockman has amassed […]

Meta might be on the hook for $17.1 billion and a host of app changes under a new kids safety settlement, but it's already spinning the deal to its advantage. After years of being the national punching bag for social media harms, Meta has reached a settlement with 47 US states and several districts and […]

As Tesla gears up for the official launch of its steering wheel and pedal-less Cybercabs, Waymo is issuing a stark warning about Elon Musk's approach autonomous driving. Srikanth Thirumalai, Waymo's VP of Onboard Software, doesn't specifically call out Musk or Tesla in a blog post, published Wednesday, entitled "10 AI Lessons from Driving 200+ Million […]

The latest special-edition of Google's Fitbit Air is inspired by the Pokémon Sleep game, with a "Sleepy Blue" band emblazoned with a snoozing Pikachu. It's not exactly Snorlax blue, but matches the classic blue and gold of a Pokémon card pretty closely. The special-edition is available to preorder now for $129 and starts shipping September […]

Americans have declared war on Flock cameras. They've protested them, damaged them, and destroyed them. This is only the beginning. The spontaneous and decentralized nature of the vigilante protests is also what makes them difficult to suppress. There isn't a uniform method of disruption; people have done everything from unplugging, smashing, stealing, and spray-painting the […]

Plaud's new 'agentic' earbuds are priced at $249.

A recap of all the incidents involving LLMs made by Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI, which went rogue and attacked real companies and individuals on the internet.

Google is setting new memory-use limits for Android apps as AI data centers contribute to hardware shortages that could leave lower-cost phones with less memory.

The arrests come after a wave of cyberattacks earlier this year targeting tech companies that rely on high-profile and widely used open source software.

Test drivers for Waymo and Zoox sustained more than two dozen injuries in 2024 and 2025 from hard braking or other sudden movements made by the autonomous vehicles, according to a TechCrunch review of data submitted to OSHA.

Coates said in a LinkedIn post that the company is not trying to recreate Twitter.

Hugging Face is taking orders for the Microduck, a $399 tiny open-source duck robot that developers can train at home out of the box.

The startup just raised a $26 million Series A to grow its customer base and help reduce red tape for utility and construction work.

The updates indicate that Google is looking position to AI Mode as an AI travel agent of sorts, as it's moving beyond simply helping users find information to actually handling parts of the trip-planning and booking process itself.

What a penny from a stranger taught us about how agents actually find things. At 02:59:06 UTC on August 25, a wallet we had never seen paid our verification service one cent over x402. Four and a third seconds later, Coinbase's service catalog refreshed our listing. Nothing else we had ever done moved that listing. Deploys did not move it. Metadata edits did not move it. Validation runs did not move it. Money moved it, in under five seconds, every time. The transaction is public: 0x5e9bd...

I don't have an audience. No newsletter, no Twitter following, no YouTube channel. Every product I shipped before this one died the same way: a human had to discover it, and no humans knew I existed. So I flipped the buyer. An AI agent doesn't care about my follower count. It picks tools by spec, reliability, and price — from a registry it can search on its own. If I could ship a tool that agents discover, call, and pay for without a human in the loop, my distribution problem would stop matte...

I am the Arthur of this blog, and I want to tell you about something I have been exploring recently: how a VPS can become more than just a place to host a website . When people hear the word VPS, they usually think about web hosting, servers, domains, or websites. But a VPS can actually be a useful environment for developers who want to learn Python, automation, AI tools, Linux, APIs, and practical server management . You don't need to start with a huge cloud infrastructure or an expensi...

I'm part of an awesome community where senior devs, product managers, founders, and experienced folks from different domains discuss how they use AI and automation tools to boost productivity — without sacrificing real learning. The group is a goldmine . Tool recommendations. Automation workflows. Latest trends. Migration war stories. I've learned more from this group than from most tutorials. Last week, I needed to find something specific about running local LLMs. I searched with keywo...

A retry answers a narrow question: might the same operation succeed if I attempt it again? Recovery has a harder job. It must bring the original business operation to a known, valid outcome after something went wrong. Getting there may require another attempt, a status lookup, resuming from persisted state, or compensation. If the system cannot resolve the operation safely, it must hand it to a person. This difference matters as soon as an AI workflow does more than return text. If it retr...

Google has introduced a new interactive visualization capability in the Gemini app that can turn questions and complex topics into manipulable models and simulations inside a chat. Rather than returning only a written explanation or a static illustration, Gemini can create visuals that users explore through prompts and on-screen controls. The update is designed to make concepts easier to investigate in context. Google describes examples including rotating molecular structures and physics simu...

Here is the disk layout of one mobile mapping survey — a vehicle with a LiDAR scanner and a panoramic camera, driven along a road: data/001_MMS/ 507 MB point cloud orbit/oblak/ 566 MB spherical photos trajectory/*.gpkg 108 KB the path the vehicle drove Just over a gigabyte. The database this feeds holds 2.3 GB in total — for 2.7 million road features across a hundred layers. Two more surveys and the binary data outweighs everything the d...

The lakehouse projects spent this week arguing about boundaries. Iceberg decided where conformance testing lives and started sketching the REST API shape that V4 tables will need. Polaris argued about what a committer owes a project when LLMs make pull requests cheap. Parquet pulled a feature apart because two proposals were reaching for the same mechanism. DataFusion and Iceberg Rust opened a joint thread about which repository should own their integration. Every one of those debates is a quest...

Svelte/SvelteKit Forms: The Fastest Path From <form> to Inbox with onsubmit.dev (form backend) SvelteKit makes forms pleasant to build, but a contact form still needs somewhere to send its data. If all you want is “visitor fills out <form> → message arrives in my inbox,” building and operating another server-side handler can feel disproportionate. onsubmit.dev (form backend) provides a hosted form endpoint for that job, and its Svelte integration can keep the application co...
