The last couple of weeks have had a lot of bad news for some in the "web3" space, but you wouldn't know it by looking at announcements in and around the recently-ended NFT.NYC and ApeFest 2022 events. The Bored Ape Yacht Club's (BAYC) annual event in particular brought in musicians like The Roots, LCD Soundsystem, Haim, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, and others to perform for its members. On the final day of the event, guests saw the premiere of this video from two of the celebrities who've purchased tokens, Eminem and Snoop Dogg.

The video is for a new song, From The D 2 The LBC, that isn't the most memorable of collaborations and is mostly about smoking weed, but it constantly splices in images of the cartoon apes. Many BAYC members were...

Here’s Google’s letter saying employees can relocate to states with abortion rights

In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision on Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade, Google's chief people officer Fiona Cicconi sent a staff-wide email to employees on Friday informing them of Google's response to the ruling. Among other things, the email states that Googlers that they can "apply for relocation without justification," and that people in charge of the relocation process "will be aware of the situation" in assessing their requests.

The Supreme Court's ruling does not make abortion illegal throughout the US — instead, it leaves the decision up to individual states. A number of states have immediately restricted abortion rights, including Louisiana, Missouri and Kentucky. Other states, including California, where Google is...

T-Mobile is selling your app usage data to advertisers — here’s how to opt out

T-Mobile's advertising business is offering a new way for marketers to pry into your app-using habits. Ad Exchanger reports that the un-carrier's new program is called App Insights, and it's now fully operational after spending a year in beta. The program allows third-party marketers to buy T-Mobile customer data and centers around a key piece of information that it has unique access to: what apps you use.

Customer data is anonymized, and it's pooled together with others of similar interests and behaviors, so companies can't buy a specific user's app history. Still, it's creepy. The company's advertising segment touts this offering loud and clear on its website, with the phrase "Apps speak louder than words" splashed across the top of...

Samsung’s monstrous 55-inch Odyssey Ark monitor could go on sale in August

Samsung is getting ready to release its massive 55-inch curved Odyssey Ark monitor in August, according to a report from Korean outlet ETNews (via SamMobile). The monitor, which was announced in January at CES, has reportedly gone through a few certification programs that have to be done before it can go on sale.

Details about this monitor are still scant. The company has said that it'll have a 16:9 4K panel and that the stand will support pivot, tilt, and rotation. It also announced that it would come out in the second half of 2022 (which the reported August window falls squarely in). But let's be honest, when you show up with a monitor that promises to physically tower over you while you're using it, people will pay attention even if...

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a board game

Posted: 24 Jun 2022 11:41 AM PDT

Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City is a competitive game for up to four players

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a board game courtesy of a Kickstarter campaign. Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City is a strange twist on the high-tech, low-life underbelly of the world brought to life by CD Projekt Red and Mike Pondsmith. The game is being published by CMON Games, which have put together board game adaptations of God of War and Bloodborne in addition to other existing IPs.

If the slang-ridden synopsis of the game provided on its Kickstarter page is any indicator, it's clear that its creators have some serious reverence for the source material: "Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City is a competitive game in which 1 to 4 players take on the role of ruthless gangs vying for control of the underground in the glittering hellhole...

After taking a nosedive in June, the price of Bitcoin has stayed so low that it's forcing the blockchain's massive electricity use to similarly dip. Over the past couple weeks, Bitcoin's energy consumption has dropped by more than a third, according to estimates of annualized electricity use by digital currency economist Alex de Vries on his website digiconomist.net.

Bitcoin's energy hunger, which has alarmed environmentalists and consumer advocates concerned about pollution and utility prices, comes from the process of mining new tokens. Bitcoin miners earn new tokens by validating transactions through an inherently energy-inefficient process, using specialized machines to solve complex puzzles. All that computing by all those machines...

RIP Chris Evans’ iPhone 6S

Wait, but what did Evans take this picture with? | Image: Chris Evans

I think most of us here at The Verge can agree that if we were famous celebrities who acted in some of the highest-grossing films of all time, we would always be rocking the latest and greatest tech. That's apparently not how Chris Evans, star of Lightyear and The Avengers, rolls — on June 23rd, 2022, he posted a message on Twitter and Instagram that he's finally upgrading his phone: "RIP iPhone 6S," he said. "We had a good run."

In his posts, Evan says that he'll miss the 2015 device's home button — a photo he posted shows that he's upgrading what appears to be an iPhone 13 Pro — but not the fact that it was a "nightly battle" trying to get the 6S to charge. (In the comments of Evan's Instagram post, Hidden Figures and Onward actress...

Wanting to treat a friend or a loved one to some tech or a cool gadget while on a very lean budget can feel like an impossible task. Most of the everyday devices we use cost multiple hundreds of dollars, so what do you get when you just want a nice birthday or "just because" kind of gift but can't break the bank? Sure, you can default to something basic like socks or a scarf, but that gets boring quick.

Here, we've assembled a bunch of cool tech ideas on a budget of just $25 that are worth your money. At a price this low, you can get some tech essentials, like a dual headphone stand for $21.99 or a quality USB-C charging cable for under $12. That may not sound very exciting at first, but when that cable is 10 feet long and sustains 100...
