| The best noise-canceling headphone deals Posted: 14 Jan 2022 05:16 PM PST  With many people working from home than they used to, owning a good pair of noise-canceling headphones has become more appealing than ever. However, they can be expensive and difficult to shop for due to the range of available models, many of which cater to different lifestyles and priorities.

That's why we've curated this list of the best deals on noise-canceling headphones. Here, you'll find sales on all kinds of on-ear and over-ear headphones, all of which are designed to eliminate outside noise but come with their own strengths and weaknesses.

| Microsoft Teams’ Walkie Talkie feature is now widely available Posted: 14 Jan 2022 03:59 PM PST  Microsoft is making its Walkie Talkie feature of Microsoft Teams generally available to all users of its communications app today. Walkie Talkie lets Microsoft Teams users turn smartphones or tablets into a walkie-talkie that works over cellular data or Wi-FI. It was originally announced two years ago and has been available mostly in preview ever since. The feature launched widely on Android in September of 2020, but now Microsoft says it's available for Zebra mobile devices as well as iPhones and iPads. Microsoft has primarily pitched this at frontline workers, employees who are customer-facing and run day-to-day operations inside companies. The software maker's collaboration with Zebra Technologies makes it work with a dedicated... |
| Google is now requiring office workers to get weekly molecular COVID-19 tests Posted: 14 Jan 2022 03:35 PM PST  Google will require anyone going to one of its US offices or facilities to have received a negative molecular test for COVID-19, the company informed employees Thursday in a memo obtained by CNBC. Workers going to the office regularly will have to get tested weekly, chief health officer Karen DeSalvo said in the memo, and employees have been asked to report their vaccination status and wear surgical-grade masks indoors. Google spokesperson Lora Lee Erickson confirmed to The Verge that a new temporary COVID-19 policy is now being implemented, one where "anyone accessing our sites in the US are expected to obtain a recent negative COVID-19 molecular test before coming onsite" and that it's offering various kinds of tests at no cost. |
| Nvidia’s AI-powered scaling makes old games look better without a huge performance hit Posted: 14 Jan 2022 03:21 PM PST  Nvidia's latest game-ready driver includes a tool that could let you improve the image quality of games that your graphics card can easily run, alongside optimizations for the new God of War PC port. The tech is called Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution, or DLDSR, and Nvidia says you can use it to make "most games" look sharper by running them at a higher resolution than your monitor natively supports. DLDSR builds on Nvidia's Dynamic Super Resolution tech, which has been around for years. Essentially, regular old DSR renders a game at a higher resolution than your monitor can handle and then downscales it to your monitor's native resolution. This leads to an image with better sharpness but usually comes with a dip in performance... |
| Google’s critical Pixel 6 January update is here Posted: 14 Jan 2022 01:55 PM PST  Google is in the process of releasing a much-anticipated update for Pixel 6 phones. Earlier today, Android expert Mishaal Rahman noted that Google posted OTA and factory images to its developer site for the January 2022 patch. That means anyone can sideload the update to their Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro now, and the official over-the-air update has already arrived on some devices (including some owned by Verge staff). In an email, Google confirmed the rollout has begun, and that the software will automatically roll out over the next week, depending on your device and wireless carrier. Using the phones' built-in checker may start the process now, and if it doesn't, sideloading is still an option. However, waiting for the regular rollout... |
| White House says COVIDTests website will distribute free rapid tests starting January 19th Posted: 14 Jan 2022 12:36 PM PST  The White House has announced that people will be able to order free COVID-19 tests from COVIDTests.gov starting on Wednesday, January 19th. This follows a promise that the government would be setting up a website to distribute 500 million tests, which President Joe Biden announced in December. You'll only have to put in two pieces of info to get a test shipped to you — your name and address. In its announcement, the White House said the tests will ship through the US Postal Service "within 7–12 days of ordering." Currently, the limit is four tests per residential address.

| The FTC is reportedly investigating Meta’s VR division for antitrust violations Posted: 14 Jan 2022 12:33 PM PST  The US Federal Trade Commission and at least three states are investigating Meta for antitrust violations in its virtual reality division, according to Bloomberg. The report says the FTC and attorneys general from New York, Tennessee, and North Carolina began speaking last year with third-party VR developers who have concerns about Meta's business practices. It's one of multiple probes into Meta's dominance in the small but growing market of VR. The Bloomberg report references well-known controversies around Meta (formerly Facebook) and its VR division (formerly Oculus). Regulators have reportedly asked developers if the Oculus app store discriminates against third-party apps whose features overlap with its own offerings, and they've... |
| Netflix raises prices on all plans in US Posted: 14 Jan 2022 12:15 PM PST  Netflix is raising prices across all of its plans in the US today. The company's standard plan will rise to $15.50 per month from $14, while the 4K plan will rise to $20 per month from $18. The basic plan, which doesn't include HD, is also rising to $10 per month from $9. Prices are rising in Canada as well. The price hikes go into effect immediately for new subscribers. For existing subscribers, the changes will be rolled out "gradually," with Netflix promising to email members 30 days before the price hike goes into effect. Prices for a Netflix plan have steadily gone up in recent years. The standard plan went to $14 per month from $13 in late 2020, after previously rising to $13 from from $11 in 2019. Prior to that, Netflix raised... |
| Eero could be close to launching a Wi-Fi 6E mesh networking system Posted: 14 Jan 2022 11:17 AM PST  Amazon-owned Eero seems to be close to announcing new routers sometime soon, as new FCC filings appeared this week for devices that appear to be called the Eero 6 Plus and the Eero Pro 6E. That 6E branding for the Pro could indicate it will support Wi-Fi 6E, meaning it can take advantage of 6GHz spectrum for faster connections. Router makers have slowly been introducing Wi-Fi 6E-capable mesh routers, though some have been quite expensive, such as this $1,500 Orbi system from Netgear and Linksys' $1,200 option. While we don't know how much Eero's 6E-capable system could cost, it could be more affordable than those options, given that a 3-pack for the Eero 6 Pro launched at $599. The new router names show up on labels Eero included in the... |
| Google’s Sonos lawsuit dodge might let other phone makers do what Pixel cannot Posted: 14 Jan 2022 10:55 AM PST  You might think a Google phone would be the best choice to control your Google-branded speakers, but that's not necessarily true: Google's actions have potentially opened the door for other manufacturers to do what the Pixel legally cannot, writes Android sleuth Mishaal Rahman at Esper. Last week, we wrote how "Your Google home speakers are about to get slightly worse because Sonos sued and won." If you're using a Google Pixel, that's true — among other things, you won't be able to control the volume of a multi-zone Google Cast speaker group. That's because the US International Trade Commission ruled that Google copied Sonos' technology and threatened to block imports unless Google implemented five specific software tweaks. One of the... |
