Today, Framework announced the second-gen Framework Laptop 16 with two industry firsts: the first Nvidia laptop graphics card upgrade you can perform at home in just a couple minutes, and the first complete 240W laptop charging solution over a USB-C cable. But the company’s also revealing some intriguing upgrades that didn’t quite make the cut — including an extra-large haptic touchpad a...
Each handheld pocket features adequate room on the sides, and a layer of padding covering the screen area. Embracer Group-owned CRKD recently launched a backpack, the $99.99 Vortex 1.0. During a recent vacation, I swapped it in place of my go-to for the past eight or so years, the 20-liter Peak Design Everyday backpack, which CRKD has thoroughly cribbed the look of. However, the Vortex has...
Dish's parent company, EchoStar, is selling a broad swath of its 5G spectrum licenses to AT...
Dyson’s 360 Vis Nav is $500 off. The Dyson 360 Vis Nav is one of the most powerful robot vacuums out there. In fact, its 65 air watts of suction makes it the best option for carpets (even high pile) that we’ve tested yet. And, right now it’s half off at $499 at Amazon, Target, and directly from Dyson. The robovac’s long, fluffy roller brush looks identical to what comes with Dyson’s stick...
Tesla rejected a $60 million settlement in the wrongful death case that ended up costing the company $243 million in punitive and compensatory damages, Reuters reported today, citing newly filed legal documents. The proposal stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the families of the victims in a 2019 crash in which a Tesla Model S driver using Autopilot crashed into a parked vehicle, killing a...
Framework CEO Nirav Patel said he would deliver "the holy grail for gamers" with the Framework Laptop 16. In 2023, he suggested it'd be the first consumer notebook to fulfil the promise of modular, upgradable graphics cards like a desktop PC. We at The Verge were skeptical, because the last time we heard someone tell that story, it ended in lawsuits and forced arbitration. But today, some...
Four and a quarter years ago, I told you how a USB-C cable could someday power all but the beefiest gaming laptops. Now, Framework is finally fulfilling the promise of 240 watts through a USB plug. Today, it’s opening preorders for the first standards-compliant 240W USB-C PD power adapter ever sold by a computer company. Since Framework also has the first laptop that can support 240W USB...
Some TikTok users have reported seeing a troubling product in the last few days: T-shirts for sale on TikTok Shop that are an antisemitic parody of the Jaws movie poster. In the image printed on the shirts, the shark has been transformed into a human nose, the swimmer at the surface of the water is instead a $100 bill, and "Jaws" has been edited to read "Jews," propagating antisemitic...
New verification rules will take effect in certain regions next year, before rolling out globally. Google is increasing security measures around sideloading apps by removing anonymity for Android developers who distribute outside of the Play Store. Starting in September next year, Google will require developers in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand to verify their identities in...
The Bromley 750 features an array of LEDs on the front reminiscent of concert stage lighting. | Image: Marshall Nothing is certain in life except death, taxes, and companies releasing party speakers with elaborate lighting features. Marshall’s first party speaker, the new Bromley 750, is no different, but instead of filling a room with a bright-colored glow, it features a more subtle array...
