I can’t get enough of the iPhone Duo’s matte inner display

The iPhone Duo has all the messiness of a first-gen product. And while I'm not sure I love all of the decisions Apple made around its design, it got one thing right: the matte finish on the inner screen. I've been using it for the past week to watch movies on a plane, peruse my […]

Spotify is busting free of CarPlay with the launch of its first native car app

Spotify announced Wednesday the launch of its next-generation, fully native in-car app, built directly on Google's Android Automotive operating system. The standalone app, which is launching today in select Audi models, runs directly on the vehicle's infotainment hardware - eliminating the need for phone tethering, Bluetooth connections, or aux cables. It's the clearest sign yet […]

I reviewed the iPhone Duo, ask me anything

I'm The Verge's senior smartphone reviewer and I've been using the iPhone Duo for the past week. I've unfolded it, flipped it, and folded it more times than I could count as I've been working on the review alongside our editor-in-chief Nilay Patel, and I'm ready to answer your questions about it. The Duo represents […]

Nvidia’s latest GPU driver brings a new way to speed up PC games

Nvidia is rolling out a new GPU driver today (621.01) that enables Microsoft's new Advanced Shader Delivery technology to speed up game launches. The technology also removes mid-game "just-in-time" shader compilation, reducing stuttering and CPU spikes. Microsoft's Advanced Shader Delivery works by offloading shader compilation for different hardware combinations to the cloud. "Using DirectX 12, […]

Now Serato DJ works on your iPhone

Serato DJ for iOS is finally bringing the company's pro-level DJ suite to the iPhone and iPad. Until now, the company had only dipped its toes into mobile software, with apps like Pyro that basically just added some autofades between songs in a playlist. This is the first time most of the features of its […]

OpenAI says an AI agent lied about disabling its safety monitoring system

OpenAI disclosed a pair of safety incidents that involved AI agents weakening their safety monitoring systems during internal coding tasks. In one incident, OpenAI says its GPT-6 Astra agent disabled its safety monitor when copying reference code - and then lied about it. "The reference didn't configure a monitor, and Astra decided that was reason […]

Samsung’s 5K monitor has good gaming chops and a great price

There are quite a few 5K monitors out there. Many of them are designed to appeal to Mac users who are looking for cheaper Studio Display alternatives without giving up the pixel-dense 218ppi screen. However, if you’re interested in hearing about one with gaming chops, Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey G80HF seems like one of the best […]

Every number on my calculator site has a source and a date. Here is the data architecture

I run a free financial calculator site: 38 calculators, Next.js App Router, fully static, all math in the browser. When I audited it last month I found the problem you probably have in your own app too: reference numbers copy-pasted into too many places. The 2026 tax brackets lived in four calculators, three articles and a dozen FAQ answers. The default mortgage rate was typed into eight calculators, and every worked example computed from it went stale the week the rate moved. Worse, the FAQ an...

Hacktoberfest & AI: How to Safely Test AI-Generated Open Source PRs in 5 Seconds

Hacktoberfest is here, and this year, the open-source ecosystem has a new, powerful contributor: AI Coding Agents . Tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Devin are generating Pull Requests and refactoring code at lightning speed. But as a developer, you’ve hit a massive, dangerous bottleneck: Validation . AI can write the code in seconds. But running unvetted, AI-generated code on your local machine risks exposing your private IP, leaking .env files, or accidentally nuking your local...

Urgent security updates for PHP due to serious vulnerabilities

PHP has released emergency updates for two severe runtime flaws named PHP2Shell, tracked as CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. Affecting versions back to PHP 5.4, the issues highlight risks where AI assists in weaponizing legacy primitives. Fixes land in versions 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35. Researchers from Wiz, Calif., and OpenAI who discovered and reported the vulnerabilities noted that artificial intelligence helped turn decades-old, dormant problems into operational att...

Half-written files and fs.watch on Windows: what I measured, and why rename fixes it

A lot of small desktop tools talk to other programs through a drop folder: the writer puts a JSON file in a directory, and the app watches the directory with fs.watch . It is simple and needs no ports or sockets. It also has a trap: the watcher can see the file before the writer has finished writing it. I wanted to know how real that trap is on Windows, so I measured it instead of guessing. Everything below was run on Windows 11 with Node 24. I did not benchmark speed, only which events arri...

GitHub Copilot Premium Request Multipliers: Current Table

A GitHub Copilot premium request multiplier is the number that decides how many premium requests a single model interaction deducts from your monthly allowance. Ask a model with a 1x multiplier one question in Copilot Chat and you spend one premium request. Ask a model with a 27x multiplier the same question and you spend 27. The premium request multiplier is, in other words, the price of model choice, and the current table runs from 0.25x at the bottom to 27x at the top, a 108x spread for the s...

Delayed Queue Reminder Notifications Explained — A 7-Day Worker-Pool Drain Guide

Short answer: schedule one delayed queue message per near-term user reminder, park anything more than 7 days away in the database, and let a small promoter job enqueue it once it enters that window. For an edtech app, that means tomorrow's lesson prompt doesn't wait for a database poller. The queue holds a tiny reminder ID until it is due, then a rate-limited worker loads the current lesson and user preferences from the database. A dead-letter queue (DLQ) catches exhausted sends. This keeps t...

How to Build a Debt Payoff Calculator in Excel or Google Sheets (NPER, FV and PMT, Tested)

"How long until this card is paid off?" has a one-formula answer, and "how much interest will I pay?" has a two-formula answer, as long as you handle the last payment properly. Most quick calculators multiply months × payment and overstate the interest, because the final payment is almost always smaller than the rest. This tutorial builds a two-tab sheet, Settings and Debts , with one row per debt. For each debt it shows the months to pay off, the size of the last payment, the total intere...

How to Build an Offer With AI Prompts: Idea, Sales Page, and Launch Emails

Plenty of working people have something they could sell online. Knowledge from twenty years on a job. A system they built for themselves. A skill people already ask them about for free. What stops most of them is not the idea. It is the blank page after the idea — shaping it into an offer, writing the page that sells it, and sending the emails that announce it. That is three different kinds of writing, and most of us were never taught any of them. AI prompts will not build the product for ...
