In April, Google announced plans to join the expanding list of tech companies that work with iFixit. The repair mavens distribute parts and tools for people interested in performing DIY electronics repairs, and starting today, iFixit's store offers genuine Google parts for a number of Pixel phones.

You can order what you need to repair everything from the Pixel 2 to the latest Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, as well as the tools to install them and step-by-step guides to walk you through the process. (Aftermarket parts are also available if you're looking to fix an OG Pixel or Nexus device.)

North Korea’s weapons program is also among crypto losers

One thing I have come to appreciate is that cryptocurrency isn't really very good at its killer use case: crime. Today's example comes from North Korea, where the regime's war chest of stolen cryptocurrency is suddenly worth a lot less than it used to be.

Here's an exceptionally funny sentence from Reuters:

Old, unlaundered North Korean crypto holdings monitored by the New York-based blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, which include funds stolen in 49 hacks from 2017 to 2021, have decreased in value from $170 million to $65 million since the beginning of the year, the company told Reuters.

That's a 61 percent loss, overall, for those of you keeping track at home. The crypto from one 2021 heist has lost at least 80 percent of its...

Niantic, which has been trying to replicate the massive success of Pokémon Go with other mobile AR games, is laying off 8 percent of its workforce and canceling four projects, as reported by Bloomberg.

"We recently decided to stop production on some projects and reduce our workforce by about eight percent to focus on our key priorities," Niantic VP of communications Jonny Thaw said in a statement to The Verge. "We are grateful for the contributions of those leaving Niantic and we are supporting them through this difficult transition.

"This means we can focus on our most important priorities, including Pokémon Go and a select set of new experiences, as well as the Lightship platform. This increased focus, as well our strong core...

Netflix is bringing Cameron Diaz out of retirement for a new movie with Jamie Foxx

Cameron Diaz is set to star alongside Jamie Foxx in a new Netflix original film, officially ending Diaz's retirement (which some of us at The Verge apparently never got the memo on). Foxx teased the new film, titled Back in Action, in a tweet containing an audio call between him, Diaz, and Tom Brady, whose retirement from football notably lasted a whole 40 days.

In a press release, Netflix doesn't reveal much about the upcoming film other than that it's an action-comedy directed, produced, and written by Seth Gordon, the director behind Horrible Bosses. Beau Bauman of Central Intelligence will serve as a producer, and Neighbors' Brendan O'Brien is helping out with the script. Netflix says the premise of the film will remain "under wraps"...

How to use Instagram to share with other social networks

If you're an Instagram user, there's a good chance it isn't the only social network that you post to. The app makes it very easy to send your post to a few other social networks — including Facebook (which owns Instagram).

Here's how you do it through the iPhone app (the Android app is very similar):

Connect your social networks

To share Instagram photos to other social networks, you'll need to link those accounts.

  • From the Instagram home screen, tap your profile icon, followed by the menu icon in the top right.
  • Select Settings > Account > Sharing to other apps.
  • Select the account you want to link and enter your login information. You can link a number of networks, including Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. (If you're linking to...

If you were worried that the real-life foam firing version of the infamous Gjallarhorn rocket launcher from Destiny would be disappointingly kid-sized, you can put those fears to rest: Bungie has just revealed what an actual blaster looks like — and when fans can get it.

Preorders for the over 4-foot-long, 1:1 scale blaster will begin July 7th at 10AM PT / 1PM ET, and existing Gjallarhorn owners get dibs. If you're looking to purchase the prop-grade Nerf LMTD blaster, you need to unlock it in-game in the Destiny 2 Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack before July 7th at 9AM PT before you can join the "virtual waiting room" for your purchase. So, you've got just over a week. If there are any left, Bungie will put...

The Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra will use a huge 1-inch camera sensor co-developed with Sony

Big-sensor cameras are a bit of a white whale for smartphone imaging engineers. Even the most capable smartphone cameras use relatively puny sensors, and efforts to bring bigger sensors to the mobile form factor have been impractical, niche, or never really materialized. Xiaomi appears to be the latest company to attempt to capture the elusive concept with its upcoming 12S Ultra flagship.

According to a post on Weibo spotted by Android Authority, the phone will include a 1-inch-type sensor co-developed with Sony. That's about 1.7 times more surface area than the 1/1.33-inch-type sensor in the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's main camera module. It's also the same size sensor that's in Sony's $1300 Cyber-shot RX100 VII that's more or less the...

Electric vehicle companies have a serious quality problem

The chip shortage and supply chain crisis are doing more than just driving up vehicle prices — they're also affecting quality.

JD Power published its Initial Quality Study for 2022 model-year cars this week, in which it found that new vehicle quality has declined 11 percent year over year, the steepest drop ever recorded by the group.

Electric vehicle manufacturers in particular are showing big drops in quality, with Polestar ranking dead last. Tesla, meanwhile, ranks seventh from the bottom, continuing its trend of shoddy manufacturing.

In this year's survey, JD Power recorded 226 problems per 100 Tesla vehicles. Combining all non-Tesla EVs, the survey says that 240 problems were reported per 100 EVs, a slight drop from 251 last year...

Google’s Switch to Android iPhone app now works with any Android 12 phone

Posted: 29 Jun 2022 11:00 AM PDT

Google's Switch to Android app now supports all Android 12 phones. The free iOS app is designed to make it easy to switch to Android, transferring important data like your iPhone contacts and calendar entries. Google released the app earlier this year, but it was limited to its Pixel devices initially. Support for all Android 12 phones makes this a key app if you're moving from an iPhone to a new Android device.

The Switch to Android app initiates a transfer process by displaying a QR code on the iPhone, which you then scan to start transferring photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events. Data can be transferred wirelessly instead of having to connect two phones with a cable, but the cable option is faster and better suited to...
