iFixit’s Steam Deck fan and battery replacement kits are finally in stock

The last time iFixit tried to offer replacement kits for the fans on Valve's Steam Deck, they sold out so quickly most people didn't even get a chance to stick a kit in a cart. In June, iFixit had a fan fix kit "drop" limited to just 100 kits. Now they're back, and they seem like they're sticking around. Even better, iFixit finally has a solution for replacing your Steam Deck battery.

The Steam Deck is a tinkerer's dream device. A powerful PC in a tiny design that you can crack open relatively easily when you want to swap out parts. Two days after my Steam Deck arrived, I was replacing the offensively slow 64GB eMMC drive with a 512GB SSD I picked up on eBay.

But I'm also the kind of nerd that has a kit hanging around just to open up...

After dazzling the world with the first images from the powerful James Webb Space Telescope this week, NASA released even more photos from the observatory yesterday, this time pictures from within our own Solar System. The space agency revealed the telescope's images of the planet Jupiter, as well as an asteroid, used as reference targets when engineering teams were calibrating the observatory's instruments.

The pictures serve as a small teaser of the images we should be getting from our Solar System in the months and years to come. The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, may be known for its ability to peer into some of the deepest recesses of the Universe, but scientists will also be using the telescope to study our own cosmic...

NASA just launched a powerful new instrument to study dust

A payload making its way to the International Space Station could help researchers back on Earth finally solve a climate mystery that's stymied scientists for years. NASA launched a key instrument for its climate research, called the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT), aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft Thursday night from the Kennedy Space Center.

Dust is a surprisingly powerful force up in the atmosphere, which is why NASA is determined to better understand it. The tiny particles waft up from deserts and other arid regions, and depending on many different factors, they can have a cooling or heating effect on our planet. Which scenario is actually playing out across the globe, however, continues to elude scientists.

This morning Apple announced Apple Music Sessions, a series of live performances that will be available exclusively to subscribers of the company's music service. Carrie Underwood and Tenille Townes are the first two artists to be featured, and for now, the sessions will mostly be geared toward country.

That's likely because they're being recorded from Nashville, Tennessee, in what Apple describes as a "state-of-the-art" studio. The company plans to tap into other genres (and other recording studios around the world) "in the future," according to today's press release.

For each session, artists will perform original songs as well as "creative" covers. Carrie Underwood went with Ozzy Osbourne's "Mama, I'm Coming Home," with Townes...

New ‘988’ mental health crisis hotline launches Saturday

Starting Saturday, people in a mental health crisis will be able to call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline). It'll connect people with mental health counselors 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Lifeline is a network of over 200 local call centers. If local centers are busy, callers are redirected to a national backup center.

Officials have billed the new number as the "911" for suicide prevention and mental healthcare. It replaces the old National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number — 1-800-273-8255 (TALK). One goal is to reduce the number of mental health crisis calls that go to 911, which often sends people to busy emergency rooms or puts them in...

If you need something more powerful than the new M2-powered MacBook Air, last year's 16-inch MacBook Pro is available on Amazon right now for its lowest price to date. Regularly $2,499.00, Amazon is selling the M1-powered model with a 10‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD for $2,249 — a price Best Buy is currently matching. We were very impressed with the 16-inch machine, which offers a Mini LED display that the new MacBook Air lacks and fantastic performance that makes it the most powerful laptop we've ever tested for content creation and creative work. The laptop also boasts some of the longest battery life we've seen. Plus, the port selection is terrific; whereas the MacBook Air only allows for one external display, you...

Amazon is giving out invites to buy the Xbox Series X at a discounted price (Update: no longer available)

Update July 15th, 10:55AM ET: Looks like Amazon has pulled the invite requests at this time. Hopefully this is a sign of more console deal opportunities to come, especially as the Xbox Series X continues being more readily available.

The console restock scene has been slowly improving over the course of a few months, with the Xbox Series S on sale just about anywhere, the Xbox Series X available without nearly as much trouble as in the past, and even the PlayStation 5 getting more reliable restock windows. What's still rare on those last two are any discounts or savings. But right now, if you act quickly, you may be able to get a deal on the Xbox Series X from Amazon.

During its Prime Day hangover, the e-commerce giant is allowing you...

Russia ousts boisterous space chief Dmitry Rogozin

Dmitry Rogozin, the blustering head of Russia's state space corporation Roscosmos, is out of the position following a big shake-up in the Russian government. He is being replaced by Yury Borisov, Russian deputy prime minister of space and defense, bringing an end to Rogozin's dynamic reign as general director of the country's space program.

Rogozin has been in charge of Roscosmos since his appointment as director general in 2018, though prior to that, he was deputy prime minister since 2011, overseeing space and defense. He's been a controversial figure for most of that tenure, resulting in strained relations with NASA — Russia's largest partner in space. Rogozin was sanctioned by the United States in 2014 and barred from entering the...

Every Friday, The Verge publishes our flagship podcast, The Vergecast, where Verge editor-in-chief Nilay Patel, editor-at-large David Pierce, and managing editor Alex Cranz discuss the week in tech news with the reporters and editors covering the biggest stories.

On today's episode, Nilay, David, and Alex chat with Verge reviews editor Dan Seifert about our review of Apple's newly designed MacBook Air with the M2 processor. We've always considered the MacBook Air the best Apple laptop for most users — is that still true?

Of course, we couldn't let the week slip by without wading into the latest news in the "Elon Musk buys Twitter" saga. Verge senior reporter Liz Lopatto returns to break it all down and explain what options will be left...
