Google confirms new Nest smart speaker with official photo and video

Posted: 09 Jul 2020 06:19 PM PDT

Google has responded to the inadvertent reveal of a new Nest smart speaker through regulatory filings by, well, confirming its existence. The company just sent The Verge an official photo of the device, referring to it only as "what the Nest team is working on from home."

The speaker looks somewhere between the pillowy Nest Mini and the larger Google Home Max, with a similar ability to stand vertically. The picture shows it wrapped in a blue fabric, while the photos from the filing depicted a more neutral grey design.

Google also shared a brief teaser video that shows the speaker being used in the background, including a pink-ish color variant.

Google's hardware products are notorious for leaking early, so as with the Pixel 4, it's...

Dell is adding a new color option to its popular XPS 15 laptop for the first time ever, and it's a huge visual upgrade to the usual silver aluminum and black carbon fiber of the standard model. Dell is calling the color option frost, and it comes with a "frost machined aluminum with arctic white woven glass palm rest," the company says (via CNET). The frost version will run you an additional $50 when it becomes available later this summer.

The XPS 15, the larger version of the excellent XPS 13, made it onto our list of best laptops, and our laptop reviewer Monica Chin, who reviewed the most recent iteration just last month, said the device's 16:10 aspect ratio and upgraded bezel-free chassis design make it a solid choice for a...

Fisker and Karma raise millions of dollars following wave of Tesla optimism

Fisker Inc. and Karma Automotive, two electric vehicle startups with a long shared history, each announced this week that they've raised millions of dollars. Fisker has taken in $50 million of fresh capital from "hedge fund king" Louis Bacon and Karma Automotive has raised $100 million from undisclosed "outside investors."

The money comes at a time when there appears to be renewed interest in funding money-hungry electric vehicle startups, thanks in large part to Tesla's skyrocketing stock price and the early success of hydrogen trucking company Nikola's recent public listing.

In fact, Fisker Inc. is considering following in Nikola's footsteps and becoming a...

NASA is updating its guidelines on how to prevent contamination of the Solar System

After years of debate, NASA plans to update its guidelines for how much biological contamination of other worlds will be allowed while the agency explores the Solar System. The new rules would relax some of the agency's requirements for how to explore the Moon and Mars — two high-profile destinations where NASA hopes to send astronauts in the coming years.

For decades, NASA has followed fairly strict rules about how much biological contamination is considered acceptable whenever the agency sends probes — or people — to other planets. It's a concept known as planetary protection, and it has a legal basis in a treaty signed more than 50 years ago. Called the Outer Space Treaty, it challenges nations to explore other worlds "so as to avoid...

Android 10 had the fastest adoption rate of any version of Android yet

Posted: 09 Jul 2020 02:15 PM PDT

Google has long struggled with getting device manufacturers to update older devices to the latest version of Android, but the company announced today that it's starting to see some success, with Android 10 seeing the fastest adoption rates of any version of Android.

According to Google, Android 10 was installed on 100 million devices five months after its launch in September 2019 — 28 percent faster than it took the company to reach a similar milestone for Android Pie. Google credits the faster adoption rate to improvements the company has been making over the years, like Android Oreo's Project Treble and Android 10's Project Mainline, which makes it easier for hardware companies to create new updates.

But while those...

Tens of thousands of people won't be descending upon San Diego this summer for the annual Comic-Con International gathering, but the festival is still going ahead as a virtual event with a lineup that includes some heavy hitters.

It's a good year for streamers. Amazon, FX, HBO, Hulu, and ViacomCBS are just some of the networks and studios that have announced they'll have a presence during the convention. For San Diego Comic-Con's first virtual conference, that means panels will stream online for anyone to watch. The obvious pro in this scenario: seeing panels isn't restricted to people with Comic-Con passes that are prepared to wait for hours in the sun to get into Hall H.

Each network and studio is bringing along some of their biggest...

For a few hours on Thursday afternoon, videos that appeared on TikTok user pages, following feeds, and the For You Page all displayed broken Like totals for some users across the globe. TikTok showed that these videos had zero likes.

"Earlier today, some of our users experienced app issues around notifications, the display of likes and view counts, and trouble loading videos on some pages of the app," TikTok said in a statement to The Verge. "The issues appear to have been caused by higher traffic than normal on our servers in Virginia, causing temporary service disruptions. We've resolved the problem and are investigating the cause, and will share updates as they become available."

The team behind time-bending first-person shooter Superhot has a pretty good proposition: buy or have bought the first game and you get the follow-up for free. Called Superhot: Mind Control Delete, the standalone expansion has been in early access on Steam since 2017. But it's releasing in full on July 16th, and developer Superhot Team wants to reward buyers of the original with a free copy. That means as many as 2 million people are eligible to receive the expansion without paying for it, the studio says.

All you need to do is purchase Superhot, or have already purchased the game, on one of the supported major platforms and the expansion will be automatically added to your library. It's important to note that this is for the non-VR...
