Cyberpunk 2077 website promised free DLC in early 2021 — but don’t bet on ‘soon’

In my opinion, Cyberpunk 2077 isn't quite the disaster some have suggested. The game is fun. The bugs are fun! The bugs that really, really weren't fun have been patched. Refunds were made widely available, and despite that refund option, the game sold 13 million copies in just two weeks.

But publisher CD Projekt still has a broken reputation to fix and an investor lawsuit to fight, so I wouldn't put too much stock in the headline you might have read today: that we're all getting free DLC for the game in early 2021.

It's possible! And it's totally what this official website promises. But that promise may be out of date.

As Engadget points out, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine shows that this promise may have been...

Google’s Wing warns new drone laws ‘may have unintended consequences’ for privacy

This past week, the US government made the single biggest, most impactful set of changes to drone law we've yet seen — ruling that almost every drone in US airspace will need to broadcast their locations, as well as the location of their pilots, in order to "address safety, national security, and law enforcement concerns regarding the further integration of these aircraft into the airspace of the United States".

Google (technically, Alphabet) isn't too happy about those new rules, as it turns out. The company's drone delivery subsidiary Wing wrote a somewhat fearmongering post (via Reuters) titled "Broadcast-Only Remote Identification of Drones May Have Unintended Consequences for American Consumers," which argues that the FAA's decision...

How we exercised during quarantine

With all the mental burdens that came with living in 2020 — including gyms closing their doors — many have found it tough to get in their normal level of exercise. Here at The Verge, we coped with this as you might expect: with tech that could enable or motivate us to get some activity in. These are the gadgets, apps, games, and services we used to work up a sweat while still staying safe, and which might prove useful if your New Year's resolution involves exercise.

Beat Saber

I named Beat Saber my favorite game of 2018, but I lapsed hard since, until Oculus released the Quest 2 in October. It's the first VR headset I like wearing, and I used SideQuest to add bootleg custom tracks that support my embarrassingly narrow musical taste,...

Samsung appears to have a new Tile competitor on the way

Samsung seems to be close to launching a new Tile-like device for tracking lost items. The tracker, likely called the Galaxy SmartTag, has been leaking out over the past month, and there's some speculation it could be announced alongside the Galaxy S21 later in January.

The Galaxy SmartTag would use Bluetooth to connect with nearby devices and broadcast its location, so owners could find it later if they misplace whatever it's attached to. It'll be powered by a replaceable button cell battery, according to a regulatory filing spotted by GSMArena, so you won't have to throw it out and buy a new one when the battery dies.

Samsung's tracker sounds a lot like a Tile, and it'll apparently look a lot like one, too. Leaks show the SmartTag as a...

New York City subway now supports tap-to-pay at all stations

You can now gain entry to any station of the New York City Subway with the tap of a phone, instead of the (famously finicky) swipe of a MetroCard.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced Thursday that it had completed the rollout of tap-to-pay scanners at all subway stations and on all of its buses throughout the city. The MTA has been installing the system, called OMNY, since May 2019 as part of a modernization effort to phase out the plastic MetroCards that have been in use since the '90s. The new tap-to-pay system is available at 472 stations and on 5,800 buses in total, the MTA said.

Tap-to-pay is supposed to speed up entry into buses and subways and reduce costs throughout the transit system, officials have said. It's...
