I wish I was handy so I could easily do a fun DIY home project using these $2.25 bricks from the old Lincoln Tunnel retaining wall. A planter or a little backyard walkway from The Tunnel? It speaks to my bridge-and-tunnel-bitch heart. www.orbitexchange.co/materials?se...

Yesterday I got a very unexpected fist bump from a worker at my local grocery store as he was passing me by. I was so confused at first but I realized in the moment he was looking at my @voxmediaunion.bsky.social shirt and giving me an approving head nod. Unions, man. They’re the best. ✊🏻🥲🌺

It’s the rare occasion that i’m jealous of you west coasters. You can comfortably enjoy the amazing SGDQ four-player Elden Ring all-bosses run that’s going on, without risk of going to bed at 2am on a work night.

I still love this silly trend. www.theverge.com/gadgets/9627...

The most USMNT of losses. The most American of vibes.

I wrote about Partiful, the event invites app, and the cloud over it that the company can’t seem to shake: Its founders background working for Palantir. Gift link: www.theverge.com/report/96063...

Imagine having Lukaku as your 67th minute sub

If this score holds… USA: 1 Belgium: Knicks game 3

That game deserved a tie goal scored by the Mexico goalie from a corner at the 101st minute

Studs up, reds out

How are these people real??? Of all the days…

Nice one-two punch of bullshit, Sony

Shoutout to @papapishu.bsky.social on my last Prime Day deal write up for the week. I’m gonna go sleep for a million years now, bye www.theverge.com/gadgets/9581...

I put together a rundown of all the MacBooks you can still score on discount before Apple's price hikes fully take effect. Compared to the new prices, you can get a MacBook Neo for $110 off. An Air for $350 off. If you're in the market, you might want to act fast. www.theverge.com/gadgets/9568...

This one’s for my fellow anime fans with lower back pain and a love for keyboards. 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/951371/...

The Evoworks Evo75 and Dry Studio ATM 98 are two of the nicest mechanical keyboards I've tested. They're also uniquely different, with one sounding super "thocky" and the other silent. Check out my review, along with lots of pictures and some sound samples, here: www.theverge.com/tech/942472/...

I’m not usually one for chatbots, voice assistants, or AI stuff, but I got to test the recently announced Siri AI on the Mac. It’s an early preview on a macOS developer beta. How do you think it went? 😬 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/949502/...

Hats off to @ifixit.com for tearing the Trump phone down to confirm what we already expected: the T1 Phone is an HTC in disguise

Initial impressions of macOS Golden Gate’s design refinements show promise, but there’s still lots to come. Read more from @superantonio64.bsky.social:

The new XPS 14 has improved in just about every way, with an actual physical F-row, better speakers, and remarkable battery life. Too bad it’s wildly expensive. Read our full review from @superantonio64.bsky.social:

The MacBook Neo’s repairability + Apple selling spare parts in all four colors = you can make yourself a multicolored Franken-laptop Here’s how I did it for @theverge.com 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/942839/...

The problem with me sending e-mails is that people keep responding to them......

Some thoughts on this morning’s RTX Spark laptop announcement from Nvidia’s keynote Computex presentation. Part of me is excited, but more of me is nervous because I’m bracing for the sticker shock. www.theverge.com/tech/941215/...

I tested a pre-production gaming laptop that has one of the nicest displays I've ever seen. And the wild part is that it's Mini LED, not OLED. It's all about clarity and SPEEEED. Check out my hands-on with the 2026 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 ELMB for @theverge.com. 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/940221/...

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has been @theverge.com's favorite gaming laptop for years. And the new model is brilliant, with a great Intel Panther Lake chip and excellent battery life. But thanks to RAMageddon it's gotten prohibitively expensive. Here's my review. 🎁🔗 www.theverge.com/tech/935898/...

Yesterday's Googlebook announcement left me with more questions than answers. What problem in computing is Google solving with its entirely new operating system and hardware? The brief tease just looked like ChromeOS with a few new AI tricks. gift link 🎁: www.theverge.com/report/92937...

I know I'm not the only one that's wanted a MacBook Pro for Windows. But not like this. Not like this... 🎁 Here's a gift link to my latest laptop review for @theverge.com, the Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra. www.theverge.com/tech/925806/...

My pick for the best laptop of CES is finally here, and it doesn’t disappoint. The Asus Zephyrus Duo is a dual-screen monster for gaming and loads of multitasking, with two 16-inch OLEDs you always have with you. But it’s also $5,500. 😬 www.theverge.com/tech/918529/...

You know the dude who sent this says “how about a smile” to women in service jobs

I’m a New Jersey lifer who inherited the Mets, Jets, Rangers, and Knicks from my older brothers and cousin. I’m locked into misery for life.

If you didn’t catch all of Framework’s big announcements today, do yourself a favor and catch up with @seanhollister.bsky.social’s extensive coverage. It was A Lot. Here’s Sean’s excellent hands-on video with the big one: the Framework Laptop 13 Pro. youtube.com/shorts/oFO76...

Can anyone make sense of these Xbox Game Pass emails? Why is the pricing all over the place? Here’s what I got and one that my friend got. This math isn’t math-ing

Keychron's Q and V series are among our go-to recommendations for off-the-shelf keyboards, and the latest iterations are a straightforward upgrade to the lineup, with benefits for regular users and deep-in-the-weeds keyboard nerds alike. Read more from @superantonio64.bsky.social: buff.ly/Te0aT0V

New keyboard review ⌨️: I tested the Keychron V5 Ultra 8K and Q1 Ultra 8K. Remember when mechanical keyboards had terrible battery life? That’s wayyy in the rear view now that these boards run on ZMK firmware and can last weeks or months even with RGB. Gift link 🎁: www.theverge.com/tech/914085/...

For $599, the MacBook Neo offers fantastic build quality and solid performance in a sleek and ultra-portable package. Windows laptops in this price range tend to be ugly, cheap-feeling, and a little slow. Read the full breakdown by @superantonio64.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/tech/908328/...

I reviewed the Ricoh GR IV Monochome for @theverge.com and I’m obsessed. Shooting such high quality b&w photos with a camera that slips into your pocket is just unheard of. $2,200 is a lot, but at least it’s not $8k like a Leica Q3 Monochrom. Gift link🎁: www.theverge.com/tech/910061/...

A night of culture 🤓

I reviewed Windows laptops in the $600-ish price range and tested them against the MacBook Neo. The results may not shock you. 🎁 gift link: www.theverge.com/tech/908328/...

Yet another World Cup without Italy :(((

Last Marathon match of the night. A squad member goes afk and the two of us get merced at a guarded exfil. The other dude just makes it. 5 mins later, afk dude springs to life and rezzes me. We make it out with SECONDS to spare and he tells me “sorry dude I had to shit so bad!” King shit

Lots of M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBook Pro users are still going strong with their laptops. I often see them wondering at what point an upgrade is worthwhile. In my review of the new M5 Max MacBook Pro I re-tested those 2021 laptops to see how they compare. 🎁 gift link: www.theverge.com/tech/898062/...

My first Steam release, FLY2K is available now! Give the demo a try if a y2k, cyberspace style runner with challenging controls sounds like your jam store.steampowered.com/app/3807220/... #indiegame #y2k #cyberspace

NVIDIA: What if we introduce ray tracing so you can have really high quality real-time lighting, models that cast shadows on themselves, and game lighting that looks _really_ real? Also NVIDIA: What if we do that, and then throw out that lighting to run the yassify filter so everyone looks HOT?

DLSS is supposed to help with resolution scaling and framerate, not turn your game's protagonist into Aubrey Plaza

Never ceases to amaze that the Oscars has so many stupid bits and crummy attempts at comedy but they gotta cruelly cut people off and TURN THE LIGHTS OFF ON THEM to save time

How unprepared are Windows laptop makers for the MacBook Neo? An executive from one of them said it's for "content consumption" — like it's a glorified Netflix machine. This thing's gonna eat their lunch, and for the foreseeable future. 🎁 gift link: www.theverge.com/report/89409...

Obsessed with this new 2 Mello track off the new album, which is a fucking banger and cracks me up every damn time "Enjoyable bars for affordable cars!" 2mellomakes.bandcamp.com/track/tan-ca...

Why is the problem always DNS?
