| Tesla’s competition for the Model Y is growing quickly in China Posted: 21 Dec 2018 01:25 PM PST  Tesla is set to unveil the Model Y, its fifth car, in March of 2019. It's expected to be a crossover SUV that's smaller than the Model X, and will share lots of the Model 3's underlying tech. With SUV sales through the roof in the United States, it's likely to be a hit. And with a sticker price that will likely resemble the Model 3's, the Model Y will launch in the US with very little direct competition when you consider the premium attached to the electric SUVs from Jaguar, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. That's not the case in China, however, a point underscored this week by two new vehicle announcements. On Saturday, Chinese EV startup NIO launched the ES6 — the company's second all-electric SUV. It's a smaller five-seater... |
| Kylie Jenner returned as online queen in 2018 after disappearing for nearly a year Posted: 21 Dec 2018 01:19 PM PST  On February 2nd, Kylie Jenner published a video called "To Our Daughter." It was a sentimental video announcing the birth of her first child, Stormi — something better suited for Facebook or Instagram, where friends and family members post updates on their life. Instead, Jenner published it on YouTube, where it has collected nearly 80 million views, making it the biggest trending YouTube video of 2018, according to YouTube. Outside the realm of regular celebrity, there isn't anything remarkable about the video. Soft music overtones play over various scenes; Kylie finding out she's pregnant, celebrating with her family, intimate moments with Travis Scott, and, finally, the birth of Stormi. Just about anything Kylie Jenner does is... |
| Logitech pulls 180, will un-break third-party Harmony home automation Posted: 21 Dec 2018 12:51 PM PST  If you've spent dozens of hours fine-tuning a home automation setup so that everything just works, you'd be pretty angry if a single firmware update screwed it up. But Logitech is now pledging to make it right for customers wronged by its latest firmware update to the Harmony Hub — by offering yet another update that'll restore local network control. While Logitech originally defended its move to make the Harmony Hub unresponsive to third-party home automation software — arguing that the private APIs were never meant to be used for anything except setting up the Harmony Hub for the first time, and that keeping them around meant maintaining a security hole — Logitech has now relented, saying it's "working to provide a solution for those... |
| Mars orbiter sends a picture-perfect postcard back to Earth Posted: 21 Dec 2018 12:04 PM PST  Mars is looking like a cool destination this time of year, especially in this picture recently released by the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter. The image shows the icy heart of the perennially chilly Korolev crater, and is one of a few snapshots sent back from Mars' robot explorers to Earth this holiday season. The Korolev crater formed sometime in Mars' turbulent past, when another object slammed into the northern lowlands of the planet, leaving a scar fifty miles wide and more than a mile deep. Dust and water ice slowly accumulated, building up into a glacier that has nearly filled the hole left behind by that long-ago collision. The European... |
| Why we don’t have a hangover cure yet Posted: 21 Dec 2018 11:39 AM PST  As long as there has been alcohol, there have been hangovers — and yet there has been no cure. Though there's no lack of morning-after tips, we don't have a pill or drink that can instantly reduce those telltale symptoms of nausea and exhaustion. Journalist Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall set out to investigate why and the result is Hung Over: The Morning After and One Man's Quest for a Cure (out now from Penguin Random House). The Verge spoke to Bishop-Stall about the cultural history of hangovers, why your hangover is not the same as mine, and what's keeping us from that cure. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity. I assume that hangovers have been happening as long as we've had alcohol. What's the first cultural reference to a... |
| Fortnite was 2018’s most important social network Posted: 21 Dec 2018 11:37 AM PST  It's easy to forget that Fortnite — a cultural phenomenon that now has over 200 million registered players — began as a failure. It was conceived as a player vs. environment game that Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney described as a cross between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead in 2015, before co-opting the last-man-standing mechanics of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and becoming the biggest game on the planet. Fortnite stole that idea and then perfected the formula by making it less technical and more accessible; it won the fight for battle royale's soul by being bigger, wackier, and just more fun than PUBG's sterile, militaristic experience. Fortnite became the better game by leaning into goofiness. The game's real achievement is subtler,... |
| Why Return of the Obra Dinn is my game of the year Posted: 21 Dec 2018 11:13 AM PST  2018 has been a good year for video games. From blockbuster epics to smaller indie experiences to inventive takes on VR, the breadth and variety of games that came out over the last 12 months is astounding. To celebrate, Verge staff members are writing essays on their own personal favorite games, and what made them stand out above the crowd. Return of the Obra Dinn begins at the end. The end of a story, the end of a life, the end of a barrel of a gun. It begins with a body, a desiccated pile of bones moldering on the deck of a ship that set out from London in 1802 to round the Cape of Good Hope and washed up five years later without a living soul aboard. You arrive as the most quotidian and morbid of figures, an insurance adjuster... |
| Watch SpaceX launch its final Falcon 9 rocket of the year for the Air Force Posted: 21 Dec 2018 10:15 AM PST  On Saturday morning, SpaceX will attempt to launch a new GPS satellite for the US Air Force from Florida — the last mission of the year for the company. If successful, SpaceX will finish 2018 with 21 launches and beat out its own record of 18 missions last year. However, viewers won't get to see one of SpaceX's rocket landings this time around, as the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the satellite will be deposited in the ocean. SpaceX has been trying to get this launch off the ground for the last week, but a combination of bad weather and strange sensor readings on the rocket forced the company to push back the mission until Saturday, December 22nd. There was also some concern that a looming government shutdown might affect operations this... |
| AT&T will put a fake 5G logo on its 4G LTE phones Posted: 21 Dec 2018 09:24 AM PST  AT&T customers will start to see a 5G logo appear in the corner of their smartphone next year — not because they're using a 5G phone connected to a 5G network, but because AT&T is going to start pretending its most advanced 4G LTE tech is 5G. According to FierceWireless, AT&T will display an icon reading "5G E" on newer phones that are connected to LTE in markets where the carrier has deployed a handful of speed boosting — but still definitively 4G — technologies. The "E," displayed smaller than the rest of the logo, refers to "5G Evolution," the carrier's term for networks that aren't quite 5G but are still faster than traditional LTE. If this sounds sadly familiar, it's because AT&T pulled this exact same stunt during the transition to... |
