Google adds more AR animals to mobile Search and most of them are pretty cute

Giant AR cat is giant | Google

Google has added 50 new augmented reality animals to Search which can be either cute, or in the case of the giant cat in the photo above, a bit disconcerting. Of course it's possible that I find the giant kitty menacing because I hate fun (or so I have been told), but I do not think I want that creature to greet me, anywhere, ever, in AR or any other reality.

I do, however, want this red panda to play with a pumpkin in my dining room as long as she wants to.

Look how cute she is with her little pumpkin

In addition to the red panda and cat, there's a giraffe, cow, zebra, pig, and hippo among the new creatures you can welcome virtually into your home (or other space, but we're all homebound...

The RestoMod is a limited-edition retro-looking PC with a fake floppy drive

Origin made its RestoMod PC to look like a throwback | Origin

Origin has made a new, limited edition PC that has the guts of a new model but the face of an ancient 1990s machine, complete with a fake floppy drive. In case you want some nostalgia while you wait for Red Dead Redemption to load, perhaps.

The RestoMod has a custom Corsair 4000D case, and the standard build has 16GB of memory, a 2.9 GHz Core i5 processor, 250GB of storage, and a 6GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card, for $2,080. The RetroMod can be customized as desired, Origin says, but they've only made 50 of them, so supplies are limited.

RestoMod: New but with an old look

The front face of the machine is where you'll get the old-school feel, Origin says:

Happy Saturday and welcome to the inaugural edition of the Verge Weekender, a short recap of some of the stories we covered this week on The Verge.

The big event of the week was Disney's investor day, where the company announced new Disney Plus series WandaVision, showed trailers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and the much-anticipated series Loki; as well as slew of new Star Wars series on Disney Plus, including Rangers of the New Republic, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Star Wars: Lando. There's also a new Alien TV series in the works. Check out the full roundup of everything Disney announced at its 2020 Investor Day.

Perhaps the biggest news of the week/year/pandemic hit late Friday, as the FDA approved the Pfizer COVID-19...

Virgin Galactic aborts first powered spaceflight from New Mexico spaceport

This morning, Richard Branson's space tourism company Virgin Galactic had to abort its first powered test flight of its spaceplane from the company's home in New Mexico, bringing the vehicle home before it could reach space. During the flight, the spaceplane's engine cut out too early and the vehicle's two pilots had to glide back down to the ground early.

The aborted engine ignition was caught live by a Twitch livestream provided by the outlet NASASpaceflight. The video showed the spaceplane, called VSS Unity, dropping away from its carrier aircraft in mid-air as planned. The vehicle then briefly ignited its main engine, according to the video, but the ignition cut out after just a moment. On a typical flight, the spaceplane's engine...

It looked like Twitter was adding further restrictions to President Trump's Twitter account on Saturday, as some users noticed the ability to like, retweet or reply to his tweets with "disputed" labels was not working. Copying the URL to one of the disputed tweets also appeared to be disabled, and quote-tweets were not appearing in search results.

Some users were able to access and like Trump's tweets — several Verge staffers confirmed they could engage with "disputed" tweets by clicking through the warning label— but others on Twitter could not.

NHS England Starts Covid-19 Vaccination Campaign

When researchers at pharmaceutical companies around the world started developing COVID-19 vaccines, experts reminded everyone to temper expectations. Vaccines usually take years. The frontrunners were made using unproven technology, and there were dozens of ways things could go wrong. The Food and Drug Administration said it would be fine with anything over 50 percent effective.

Then, last month, Pfizer announced that it had a vaccine, and it was 95 percent effective. Moderna did too. It was better news than anyone dared hope for. Stéphane Bancel, chief executive at Moderna, said he cried when he first heard the data. With the FDA's blessing, which came in late Friday night, health care workers in the United States could start getting...

It's a different kind of Cyber week. Cyber Monday is in the past, but the anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 game has finally launched, and it's almost impossible to avoid seeing buzz about it online. One of this week's best deals is aimed right at people who don't have a console or a beastly gaming PC. The game is available on Google Stadia, and until supplies last, Google is offering a complimentary hardware bundle worth $100 to people who buy Cyberpunk 2077 on its cloud game streaming platform. Find details on this and a few more deals below.

iFixit has released its teardown of the PlayStation 5 and its DualSense controller — and it goes into even more detail than the one Sony did earlier this year. The gadget repair company discovered that the console has a ton of screws holding it together, and that there's a weird catch to replacing the optical drive.

The company also released a always-fun X-ray of the PS5

It turns out that the optical drive is software-locked to the motherboard. The physical swap is apparently a piece of cake, but any replacement you put in won't read disks, so if your optical drive fails you'll be sending it to Sony. It's a bummer, especially for me: I've had terrible luck with PlayStation...
