Apple's online and retail stores in North America have started carrying products from Brydge, a company that's known for producing MacBook-style Bluetooth keyboards for iPads. Models for the 10.2-inch iPad and 10.5-inch iPad Air are available.

Apple brought support for its Smart Keyboard to both of these iPad lines this year, suggesting it wants to encourage typing on lower-end iPads and not just the Pro series. Brydge does make a keyboard for the current iPad Pro (pictured above), which we tested and found to be the best laptop-style option available, but Apple doesn't appear to be selling it right now.

If you have a 2019 iPad or iPad Air, though, these keyboards could be a good option. (The iPad Air version also works...

Watch this machine made out of Lego sort other Lego using AI

Posted: 11 Dec 2019 04:10 PM PST

Back at my parents' house, there's a couple giant tubs of Lego sitting in my old bedroom closet stuffed with over 20 years of my Lego collection. If I ever had to sort that collection by hand, it would probably take me the better part of the next 20 years — but perhaps I could use this AI-powered Lego sorting machine that's made in large part out of more than 10,000 Lego bricks (via ExtremeTech).

Dubbed the "Universal Lego Sorting Machine" by its creator, Daniel West, it's a pretty neat contraption that's far more useful than any of the Lego science projects I used to make. The machine is apparently able to use AI to sort Lego into one of 18 different buckets at a rate of "about one brick every two seconds." West says he trained the...

Cousin Greg to play equally tall, inept WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann in new series

Posted: 11 Dec 2019 03:15 PM PST

After WeWork's disastrous IPO filing, many were claiming the company would soon be valueless. But there is still something of worth at WeWork: its story and its potential as IP for Hollywood.

Variety confirmed that Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content will produce the WeWork story, based on Wall Street Journal reporters Maureen Farrell and Eliot Brown's reporting and book, for the screen — though it's unclear whether this is a feature film or a TV series or a Quibi. But there's exciting news even for this early project: Nicholas Braun, best known for standing 6-foot-5 in his role as Cousin Greg on HBO's Succession, has been cast as WeWork's Adam Neumann, best known for standing 6-foot-5 while handing out tequila shots after firing...

Twitter will now let you post iOS Live Photos as GIFs

Live Photos are one of Apple's signature camera options on iOS, making your photos look like one of the living photographs in Harry Potter. But if you've tried to post that Live Photo on Twitter, it would render as a still photo, taking away some of that magic. You could use an app to convert that Live Photo into a GIF and post that new GIF on its own, but that might be more work than you'd want to do.

Starting today, though, Twitter says you can now just post Live Photos as GIFs directly on the platform, no conversion required:

The feature is pretty easy to...

Valve says Half-Life: Alyx will be a ‘one-way journey’ with no multiplayer

The first Half-Life game in 13 years might prove to be the first killer app for VR. In the 23 days since Valve announced Half-Life: Alyx, its first full-length VR game, the company's Valve Index headset has continually been number one on Steam's top sellers list — until yesterday, when another VR game called Boneworks surpassed it.

Even though Alyx may be pushing some to spend serious money on VR, the company tells The Verge that it'll be a traditional Half-Life game in some key ways: it'll be a linear adventure from start to finish, one that'll let you save the game whenever you'd like. Valve also suggests that you'll be able to play it for hours on end — even though you'll be wearing a headset that's physically tethered to a computer.

EPA says the Porsche Taycan Turbo will get just 201 miles on a full battery

The Environmental Protection Agency has finally published its range estimate for Porsche's first electric car, and it's particularly lower than most people expected. The EPA says the Taycan Turbo — the $150,900 dual-motor version with 616 horsepower — will only be able to travel around 201 miles on a full battery. The figure is much lower than the 280-mile estimate Porsche received from European regulators earlier this year, which the company has touted since the Taycan's unveiling in September.

That's on par with the EPA range estimate for the Audi E-Tron (204 miles), but notably less than that of the Nissan Leaf (226 miles in the version with the 62kWh battery pack), the Jaguar I-Pace (234 miles), Chevy Bolt (259 miles), and even the...

Cruise, GM-backed self-driving company, teases life ‘beyond the car’

Cruise, the self-driving car company backed by General Motors, is teasing an "alternative" to pollution-spewing, congestion-causing motor vehicle traffic. In a Medium post published on Wednesday, Cruise president Dan Ammann said it was time to "move beyond the car."

Ammann, the former president of GM who now leads the autonomous vehicle firm in San Francisco, lays out the ills of our car-centric world — congestion, carbon emissions, underutilization, and tens of thousands of deaths annually — before pondering "alternatives that are superior to the status quo in every way."

"The status quo of transportation is broken," Ammann writes, "and ... our need to find better solutions grows more urgent every day."

Taking a step back, Ammann's...

Crisis On Infinite Earths is the most comic book thing ever made for TV

The heroes of Crisis On Infinite Earths

Going to the theater now feels like going to a comic book shop. You can usually pick between Marvel or DC at the box office every summer. This extends to TV and streaming — it's possible to have an entertainment diet made entirely of superhero media and still not get to it all. (Trust me, I've tried.) Despite this pervasiveness, we tend to mostly talk about the big-budget film stuff. The MCU and everything you need to keep up with it. It can, frankly, feel like work — but there are still places where keeping up with superheroes is what it should be: goofy, nonsensical fun.

One of the strangest successes in superhero comics' march across pop culture has been what's known as the Arrow-verse: The CW's sprawling universe of connected DC...

YouTube calls for ‘more clarity’ on the FTC’s child privacy rules

In the coming weeks, YouTube will be rolling out a new system for labeling children's content after a landmark settlement with the FTC. But as the changes grow nearer, YouTube is demanding clearer guidelines from the regulator in charge of enforcing the new rules that could have far-reaching consequences for the platform.

"Many creators have expressed concern about the complexity of COPPA [the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act]," YouTube wrote to the FTC. "We believe there needs to be more clarity about when content should be considered primarily child-directed"

Creators are also writing to the FTC out of fear that the changes and vague guidance could destroy their channels. "It is my dream for my channel to soar," one person told...

Larry Page is quietly funding efforts to develop a universal flu vaccine

Posted: 11 Dec 2019 10:07 AM PST

Google co-founder Larry Page is funneling money from his charitable foundation to a private flu-fighting initiative run as a for-profit company, TechCrunch reported. The program offers free flu shots to children in Oakland, California-area schools. Page also has a second company funding efforts to create a universal flu vaccine, according to the report.

The free flu shots are offered through a group called Shoo The Flu, which started funding flu shots for both elementary and kindergarten through eighth grade schools in 2014. Shoo the Flu reimburses the Alameda County Public Health Department and school districts for the cost of the program.

The second company, Flu Lab, provides funding for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Grand...
