If you tried to check a product listing this morning and found Fakespot not working, you're not alone. The service has permanently shut down.

The best robot vacuums we’ve tested for 2025

Editor’s note: Amazon Prime Day will run from July 8th through 11th, but if you want to get a head start on your shopping, we’ve compiled a guide to the best early Prime Day deals you can already get. Robot vacuums are impressive devices that will clean your floors well and — thanks to bigger batteries and better robot brains — rarely get tired of doing their job. Over the last few years, they have gone from being utilitarian devices that sweep your floor to full-fledged home robots that can va

How the Quick Turnaround of ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Became a Good Thing

Writing, development, pre-production, casting, filming, editing, visual effects, scoring, sound, and more. The process of making a movie, especially a big, expensive movie, is a long one. According to director Gareth Edwards, who has made his share of big movies like Rogue One and Godzilla, normally it would take two and a half years from when he, the director, would be hired until the film is released in theaters. But, when it comes to Jurassic World Rebirth, the process was anything but normal

‘Fast & Furious’ Couldn’t Keep Driving Like This

Every franchise, if allowed to go on long enough, hits a wall sooner or later. Nothing lasts forever, as they say, and we’ve seen this eventuality come sooner or later in different flavors. But not many have hit the wall quite like Fast & Furious. One of the biggest, stupidest Hollywood franchises around is now slated to end its main run of movies in April 2027 with Fast XI. It’s an end that can’t come soon enough, honestly. Fast X’s biggest crime wasn’t being half a movie—though of summer 2023

The wanton destruction of a creative-tech era

Fastly, you killed glitch.com and ruined your karma for 10,000 years. You have “betrayed yourself for nothing.” Glitch was an idealistic place where people gathered and made sites, were inspired by other people’s sites and remixed them, and generally enjoyed themselves. Of course a site like that takes money to run, of course you need people to run it - it was specifically better because of the people that ran it. And I can only be very sympathetic to the fact that it cost money - that it only

The Films and Shows You Should Be Streaming in July 2025

A new era of streaming selections is here. For the past several years, our monthly column, the Nerd’s Watch, has been the place to find out all the best genre titles coming to the biggest streaming services. It wasn’t a complete list. We just posted the titles we think you’d care about, but it was still long, and frankly, hard to pick out the best of the best. Well, over the past few months, that changed. What follows isn’t a list of all the best stuff streaming on all the big streaming service

Lego’s July Releases Are Swooping In

After a blockbuster June, Lego’s having more of a quiet month in July, perhaps in an attempt to get us outside in the sweltering heat rather than indoors with a fan blasting in our faces as we build lots of Lego. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to tempt your wallet with this month. As Lego gears up for its typically huge month of releases for August, July is looking a bit quiet. But notable highlights include a massive Battle Droid and STAP for Star Wars fans to get stuck into and a

How a beer-making process is used to make cleaner disposable diapers

Disposable diapers are a massive environmental offender. Roughly 300,000 of them are sent to landfills or incinerated every minute, according to the World Economic Forum, and they take hundreds of years to decompose. It's a $60 billion business. One alternative approach has been compostable diapers, which can be made out of wood pulp or bamboo. But composting services aren't universally available and some of the products are less absorbent than normal nappies, critics say. A growing number of

The biggest iPhone 17 mystery left could swing a lot of upgrade decisions

Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup will be unveiled just two months from now, and while most features of the new models have already leaked, there’s at least one big question mark that could swing a lot of upgrade decisions: ProMotion. Which iPhone 17 models will support ProMotion? Back in 2022, Apple debuted a big display upgrade for certain iPhone models. ProMotion enabled the iPhone’s first always-on display, and a much-improved 120Hz high refresh rate. For three years running, ProMotion has been ex

Google's AI Mode Is Changing How You Search. So What Is It?

A new tab is in your Google Search bar, and it feels a lot more like an AI chatbot than a traditional search engine.

It's now available for all English language users in the US over age 13 (and to Workspace and Education users over age 18).

Show HN: Arch-Router – 1.5B model for LLM routing by preferences, not benchmarks

Hi HN — we're the team behind Arch ( https://github.com/katanemo/archgw ), an open-source proxy for LLMs written in Rust. Today we're releasing Arch-Router ( https://huggingface.co/katanemo/Arch-Router-1.5B ), a 1.5B router model for preference-based routing, now integrated into the proxy.

Amazon deploys its 1 millionth robot, releases generative AI model

AMC now warns moviegoers to expect ’25-30 minutes’ of ads and trailers

AMC Theatres is making it easier for moviegoers to know the actual start time of their film screening and avoid sitting through lengthy ads. A new notice has started appearing when people purchase tickets via the AMC website, warning that “movies start 25-30 minutes after showtime.” This already mirrors the estimated runtime of AMC’s preshow content, which includes ads and trailers, but now customers will be better informed if they want to arrive a little later without missing the start of thei

Report: ‘Elio’ Was Pixar’s Latest Victim of Cuts to Erase a Queer Storyline

A new report from The Hollywood Reporter alleges that Elio, Pixar’s latest movie, has become the latest in a growing line at the studio to face radical cuts and changes from senior management—including, yet again, the erasure of a queer narrative. The report revealed that Elio had a fraught behind-the-scenes production, that saw much of original director Adrian Molina’s (Coco) vision undergo significant restructuring to become the film that is in theaters now. The disappointing alterations of t

The movie and TV tech we actually want to use

is editor-at-large and Vergecast co-host with over a decade of experience covering consumer tech. Previously, at Protocol, The Wall Street Journal, and Wired. One way to think about the tech industry is just as a series of people trying to build stuff they saw in movies.
