| These are the best, most objectively powerful Pokémon fusions Posted: 25 Jun 2019 06:22 PM PDT  In case you missed it, Pokémon fusions are back in the news, thanks in part to a recent Tumblr meme and helped along by a small but growing community of talented fan artists dedicated to bringing these sometimes adorable but often horrific hybrids to life. But between admiring the cute, shellfish-meets-baby dragon qualities of "Shellmander" and just combining literally every other pokémon with Mr. Mime, nobody is doing the truly important work of telling you which ones are the most powerful. At the end of the day, in the rough-and-tumble world of Pokémon, what matters most is knowing which of these algorithmically combined animals can best the other in vicious, supernatural elemental battle. So we've done the work to narrow down the... |
| Apple buys self-driving startup Drive.ai just days before it would have died Posted: 25 Jun 2019 06:05 PM PDT  Drive.ai, a self-driving startup that was once valued at $200 million, was supposedly closing its doors and laying off all its staff — but Apple has now confirmed to Axios and The Verge that it's acquired the struggling startup instead. Three weeks ago, Apple was said to be in talks to buy Drive.ai, which was founded in 2015 by machine learning researchers from Stanford University and had been running a ride-hailing service with its autonomous shuttles in Texas. The deal could have resulted in dozens of Drive.ai engineers joining the tech giant's secretive Project Titan, which has gone through its own struggles. But earlier today, it seemed like that deal had fallen through. The Mountain View, Calif.-based Drive.ai filed notice with a... |
| The Office will leave Netflix in 2021 Posted: 25 Jun 2019 03:37 PM PDT  The Office, one of the most popular shows on Netflix, will stream exclusively on NBCUniversal's upcoming streaming service beginning in 2021. Netflix's deal with NBCUniversal ends in 2020, giving NBCUniversal back the rights to stream its own show. The new arrangement makes The Office one of the biggest shows that NBCUniversal will have exclusively on its streaming service as it prepares to go head-to-head with numerous companies launching their own competing services. It's an important show to have, too. The Office is widely considered the most popular show on streaming services like Netflix, with more than 52 billion minutes watched in 2018, some 3 percent of all Netflix minutes watched in the US, according to The Wall Street Journal.... |
| San Francisco is set to ban Juul and other e-cigarette sales in 2020 Posted: 25 Jun 2019 03:01 PM PDT  San Francisco officials just banned the sale or distribution of e-cigarettes in the city unless they have FDA approval. The ban, which also affects some flavored tobacco products, adds to restrictions that the city put in place on flavored e-cigarettes last year — already considered to be the strictest in the country according to The New York Times. Cigarettes remain legal. Once it goes into effect in early 2020, the new San Francisco ordinance will forbid tobacco shops in the city from selling e-cigarettes that haven't been approved by the FDA. It also bans "the sale and distribution to any person in San Francisco of flavored tobacco products and electronic cigarettes that require, but have not received, an FDA order approving their... |
| Faraday Future fires dozens of employees on unpaid leave Posted: 25 Jun 2019 02:38 PM PDT  Sputtering electric vehicle startup Faraday Future has fired dozens of employees who have been on unpaid leave for months, including manufacturing workers hired to staff the company's factory in Hanford, California, The Verge has learned. The workers received benefits during this furlough, which started in late 2018, and it had already been extended once already. But the newly-fired employees will see those benefits expire on June 30th, according to termination paperwork provided by a former employee who was granted anonymity due to a nondisclosure agreement with the company. In addition, Jeff Risher, Faraday Future's vice president of product, technology, and IP strategy, left the company earlier this year, The Verge has learned.... |
| Facebook may let you turn off obnoxious in-app notification badges Posted: 25 Jun 2019 02:36 PM PDT  Facebook is making an effort to make its countless eyeball-grabbing elements less distracting with a new test of notification customization. According to app researcher and reverse-engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong, Facebook is currently testing the ability to turn on and off the red notification dots, known as badges, that you get for individual tabs of the company's mobile app. That way, if you don't really care much for Watch or groups, you don't have to stare down yet another bright red badge number demanding your attention. According to TechCrunch, this is a global test on iOS and Android. "We are testing new ways to give people more control over the notifications they receive in the Facebook app," a Facebook spokesperson told... |
| Israeli team will no longer send a second spacecraft to the Moon Posted: 25 Jun 2019 02:28 PM PDT  Israeli nonprofit SpaceIL has announced that it will abandon plans for a second moonshot after a crash landing in its original mission earlier this spring. At the time, the company said it would make a second attempt to land on the Moon, but a tweet from its official Twitter account today say that the team will instead continue to build the spacecraft Beresheet 2 for a different objective.
The original Beresheet made its... |
| Target is offering 30 percent discounts on in-store pickups for select games Posted: 25 Jun 2019 12:44 PM PDT  If you're thinking about buying a game for your Nintendo Switch, PS4, or Xbox One, you'll save 30 percent on several titles at Target when you opt to pick it up in store. For context, this deal brings Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a $59.99 game, down to $38.10. Games like The Division 2, Team Sonic Racing, Kingdom Hearts III, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and more are also included in the sale. It's worth noting that this discount only works on products that your local Target store has in stock. And, if video games aren't your thing, this order pickup sale extends to board games, too. The Moto Z4 is half of its usual price at Best Buy for Verizon users who are opening a new line, or... |
| Big Tech’s problem is its lack of competition Posted: 25 Jun 2019 11:53 AM PDT  According to Recode editor-at-large Kara Swisher, one of Silicon Valley's biggest problems right now is its lack of competition. That big tech companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google have become too dominant and have thus stifled competition and creativity. Here is a lightly edited excerpt of Kara Swisher and Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel discussing the importance of competition and the possibilities of breaking up the tech giants that rule the land. You can hear this and more in the latest episode of The Vergecast. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity. Nilay Patel: One of the major themes at the Code Conference this year was antitrust break-ups. My connection between those two things is pretty simple.... |
