The Trump administration promised a fourth wireless carrier — America got a hot mess instead

With Dish Network owner EchoStar selling $23 billion in valuable spectrum to AT&T, any pretense that the TV provider will become a serious wireless competitor is dead. But the project was always doomed to fail, and despite plenty of assurances by the Trump administration and other companies involved, the very obvious writing was always on the wall. More than 9,000 T-Mobile employees lost their jobs, the wireless sector stopped seriously competing on price, and T-Mobile increasingly began to beh

Trump Weighs in on MAGA’s Latest Online Crisis: The Cracker Barrel Logo

The declining restaurant chain Cracker Barrel recently made the unfortunate decision to rebrand its sign, which—if you’ve ever hung out at a strip mall on the side of a freeway—you will probably recognize. The old sign, which we are now being told is “iconic,” previously featured a mascot known as “Uncle Herschel” (based on the store’s founder’s real uncle) and a barrel. The new sign, a study in bland minimalism, nixes both the barrel and Uncle Herschel, replacing them with a vaguely rounded and

Listen to the ‘Tron: Ares’ Soundtrack the Way It’s Meant to Be Heard: On Tape

Along with the digital release of the Tron: Ares soundtrack, Nine Inch Nails is playing up the nostalgic music tech sensibilities of the franchise with its score on physical media. Collectors will be able to snag not only multiple vinyl variants of the music from the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures release but also a special edition cassette tape, which, for us ’90s NIN fans, is how we first listened to the industrial rock act. The analog release will only be available through the Nine Inch Nails

iOS 26 Is Almost Here. This Is When I Think Apple Will Release the iPhone Update

Apple announced iOS 26 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, and the tech giant has since released multiple beta versions of the software. Those versions bring new features, like a Liquid Glass design and call screening to block spam callers, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. You can expect many of those capabilities to land on your iPhone soon. Apple said it will release the update to the general public this fall, which is good but not the most helpful timeframe. But if

Hollow Knight: Silksong release date prompts another game delay as Baby Steps inches back

Fittingly enough, the team behind Baby Steps is treading cautiously. The walking simulator was previously scheduled to arrive on PS5 and Steam on September 8, but Hollow Knight: Silksong 's imminent release date of September 4 prompted publisher Devolver Digital (and developers Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo and Maxi Boch) to delay their game until September 23. They made the announcement with the help of a funny clip that sees Baby Steps protagonist Nate trying to scale a replica of Silksong's H

Apple May Take AirPods Pro 3 Beyond Audio

It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like Apple is finally ready to release the next pair of AirPods Pro. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the AirPods Pro 3 will likely be among the major product releases at next month’s annual iPhone 17 event. That’s big news for anyone who turns to Apple for wireless audio, but the new active noise cancellation (ANC) buds could be an even bigger deal for anyone who’s interested in Apple as a player in health-focused wearables. On top of improved AN

Is iOS 26 beta 8 ready for release? [Poll]

Historical precedent suggests that the latest iOS 26 beta may be the final one, and therefore the version that will be released into the wild next month. But while the stats may favor this, not everyone is convinced that beta 8 is ready to be unleashed. Given that there’s now very little time left before the iPhone 17 launch, is iOS 26 good enough … ? Precedent says iOS 26 is probably complete We yesterday rounded up the historical precedents, which very clearly point to beta 8 being the fina

Reverse wireless charging may not be possible on the iPhone 17 Pro

One feature that has been available for a number of years on Android has long been expected to come to iPhone too: reverse wireless charging. A leaker yesterday suggested that it’s coming to the two iPhone 17 Pro models. If true, this would be good news for three reasons, but there is reason to suggest that may not be possible – due to MagSafe … What is reverse wireless charging? Very simply, this means the ability to wirelessly charge an accessory like AirPods or an Apple Watch by placing it

Tech’s Heavy Hitters Are Spending Big to Ensure a Pro-AI Congress

Much of the American public is dubious to neutral when it comes to artificial intelligence. A recent poll found that 71 percent of Americans were concerned about the technology “permanently” displacing human workers. Since we ostensibly live in a democracy, you’d think that would be bad news for the AI industry; unfortunately, many of the folks who are central to our economy are all-in. What do you do when you can’t win in the court of public opinion? The next best thing is to work the refs, a

Pixel-art cyberpunk platformer Replaced delayed again, this time until spring 2026

The long-awaited cyberpunk platformer Replaced has been delayed once again. Now it's not coming out until next spring. Developer Sad Cat Studio apologized for the delay and said that this is simply "what's right for the project" and that the team remains dedicated to creating a "truly special experience." This isn't the first time the game has suffered a delay. It was originally announced back in 2021, with a pending release date of 2022. That didn't happen. In 2024, the company announced a rel

The Extraordinary Rise in the Wealth of Older American Households

There has been a seismic shift in age-wealth profiles in the U.S. over years 1983 to 2022. The most notable is the sharp rise in the relative household wealth of age group 75 and over. Correspondingly, the relative wealth holdings of all other age groups dropped over these years. Using the Survey of Consumer Finances, the paper focuses on the youngest age group, 35 and under, and the oldest age group, 75 and over, and analyzes the factors behind these relative shifts in wealth. I find that the t

The ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Success Story Could Be a Turning Point for Cinema

This weekend, movie history was made. For the first time ever, Netflix had the number one movie at the box office with its megahit KPop Demon Hunters. However, while every single other film distributor would’ve celebrated this fact, the streamer didn’t report the numbers. Instead, it put the version of the film in theaters immediately onto its streamer. The message was clear. This wasn’t meant to be a huge money grab or play for theatrical dominance. It was more of a thank you to the fans who st

Technics EAH-AZ100 Review: Wireless Earbuds That Sound So Next Level I’m Ruined

2025 Hi-fi audio is a funny thing. Someone could say the words “high fidelity” until you’re both blue in the face, but it’s hard to understand unless you hear it for yourself. I mean, how high is high, anyway? Great audio is as high as your frame of reference is, and if you’re like most people and you’re used to sticking AirPods in your ears and calling it a day, then that’s your baseline. But not everyone is so easily wooed by Apple’s ecosystem, and for those baptized in the expensive waters o

The Pixel Tablet 2 would’ve been great with Android’s new PC-like keyboard and mouse controls

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Right after blowing our minds with the new AI-powered Voice Translate feature on the Pixel 10, Google went and dashed our hopes of seeing a new Pixel Tablet anytime soon. The company told Bloomberg that it has “paused development on a tablet overhaul until it figures out a meaningful future for the category,” which sure sounds like Google has given up on tablets once again. That’s a huge shame, though, because Android has gotten way better on tablets since Goo

The iPhone 17 Release Date Is Coming Up Fast, but When? Leaks Hint at an Exact Date

Google just announced the Pixel 10 series of phones, which look to be the last major phone releases until Apple unveils the iPhone 17 next month. Nailing down exact dates for the new iPhone models is always a moving target due to the company's secrecy, but a number of reports and leaks are bringing reliable dates more into focus. Once the rumored iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, Pro and Pro Max are revealed, we'll be able to confirm speculation about colors, display, cameras and more. We'll also learn

Blade Runner 2099 will reportedly be released next year on Prime Video

Amazon's Blade Runner limited series finally has a release window. Deadline reports that the upcoming sequel show, Blade Runner 2099, is slated for a 2026 release on Prime Video. The story at this point remains a mystery, though the title suggests it'll take place 50 years after the events of Blade Runner 2049. Ridley Scott is said to be involved in the production. It was revealed last year that Michelle Yeoh will star in the series , and according to Deadline, she'll be joined by Hunter Schafe

Media over QUIC (MoQ): Refactoring the Internet's real-time media stack

13 min read For over two decades, we've built real-time communication on the Internet using a patchwork of specialized tools. RTMP gave us ingest. HLS and DASH gave us scale. WebRTC gave us interactivity. Each solved a specific problem for its time, and together they power the global streaming ecosystem we rely on today. But using them together in 2025 feels like building a modern application with tools from different eras. The seams are starting to show—in complexity, in latency, and in the f

‘Birds of Prey’ Almost Featured Another DC Bird: The Penguin

Before Colin Farrell became the Penguin in Matt Reeves’ The Batman, the character almost had a different origin story in the DC Universe. According to star and producer Margot Robbie, early versions of the script for her Harley Quinn vehicle Birds of Prey, featured the iconic Batman villain as the main antagonist, but then someone stepped in and asked that not to happen. “Matt Reeves said, ‘Don’t use the Penguin. I’m going to use him in my thing,'” Robbie explained to Farrell in an interview wi

Silksong is out soon, and indie games are getting out of the way

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Yesterday, Hollow Knight: Silksong developers Team Cherry announced a September 4th release date for the long-awaited game, and indie developers are announcing delays to get out of the way of the launch. Silksong is a full sequel to the excellent Hollow Knight and is currently the most wishlisted game on Steam, so it’s likely going to be very popular when it’s finally availabl

F1: The Movie now available to buy or rent ahead of Apple TV+ release

Apple’s F1: The Movie has exceeded all expectations at cinemas, with the film about to top $600 million at the worldwide box office since its premiere on June 27. Following its extended theatrical window, F1: The Movie is now available to buy or rent on-demand at digital stores like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and more. This release follows the standard pricing pattern for what the industry calls the “premium video on-demand” window, or PVOD. This means the film is available to rent for $20

Happy 100000th birthday, Debian

Google killed this feature so the Pixel 10 could have Qi2 wireless charging

It was exciting when the first rumors started rolling in about the Pixel 10 series adopting Qi2 . This meant the Pixel 10 would become the second Android phone to support the standard. Now that Google’s latest flagship has launched, this wireless charging functionality has been officially confirmed, along with a collection of compatible accessories . But it turns out Qi2 support is a bit of a double-edged sword, as its inclusion directly resulted in the removal of a different feature. Since the

Google finally lets you customize icon shapes on your Pixel’s home screen

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR You can now customize icon shapes on your Pixel Launcher’s home screen. Android will give you five options. Including the default circle, there’s square, four-sided cookie, seven-sided cookie, and arch. These options are currently only available in the August 2025 Android Canary release, but we expect it won’t be long before they make their way into the QPR2 track. Hot off the heels of the Pixel 10 launch, Google unveiled a new Android Canary release.

Android finally lets you control your Pixel phone’s flashlight brightness

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android has finally added native flashlight brightness controls from the Quick Settings panel. Google added support for controlling the flashlight brightness in Android 13, but there was no way to do so from Quick Settings. This feature is available in the latest August 2025 Android Canary release and may arrive in Android 16 QPR2. If you’re looking for something under a couch, bed, or other dimly lit area, then your phone’s built-in flashlight will c

Google’s not done yet, with a new Android Canary release arriving for testers

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Google started its Android Canary program earlier this summer. So far that’s meant a new Canary release on roughly a monthly cadence. Today Android Canary 2508 has landed for users interested in trying it out. Google, you do know that other days of the week exist, right? Because so far this Wednesday, Google has been getting stuff done like it’s planning to shut down operation at the end of the day ahead of a nice, long four-day weekend. A few hours ba
