Oakley Meta HSTN Limited Edition review: a polarizing choice

is a senior reporter focusing on wearables, health tech, and more with 13 years of experience. Before coming to The Verge, she worked for Gizmodo and PC Magazine. It was a sweltering Sunday in Brooklyn. Instead of being wasteful and spending $10 on a five-minute Uber, I decided to walk the 20 minutes to a cutesy Japanese stationery cafe with an even cutesier name. Despite the 85 percent humidity, my vanity demanded I wear a full face of makeup with a snatched nose contour. Sweat was leaking out

Trump administration's digital health tracking system gives tech giants access to medical records

Forward-looking: The Trump administration wants the US public to upload personal health data and medical records to a series of apps and systems managed by private health companies and tech giants. The move is supposed to allow easier access to health records across the nation, bringing personal healthcare into the digital age, but there are plenty of concerns about the security of the data and the possibility that it could be exploited. During an event announcing the initiative yesterday, Pres

These are the drawing apps I recommend, but one sticks out from the rest

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Drawing is the oldest form of human expression, dating back to a time far older than writing. I, as a visual learner, rely heavily on illustrations or sketching out things like a prospective DIY furniture project or even cable management under my desk to visualize better. And there are a few incredible apps that help me achieve that. While Procreate is the most recommended drawing app for iPad, there is little unanimity on the Android side. Since I belong to th

GOP’s Josh Hawley and Democrats vote to advance congressional stock trading ban

Washington — Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri joined Democrats Wednesday to advance legislation that would ban members of Congress from buying, selling or owning individual stocks. In an 8-7 vote, Hawley and Senate Democrats on the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs voted the legislation out of committee, with all other Republicans on the committee voting against it. It's not yet clear if the legislation, which Hawley introduced, will receive a floor vote

Nothing Headphone 1 vs. AirPods Max: Which Over-Ear ANC Headphones Win?

Sometimes, picking a pair of headphones feels like an impossible choice. There are lots to choose from, and the barrier to entry is enough to send haptic chills down one’s spine. If there’s one thing that most can agree on, it’s that Apple’s AirPods Max are probably the standard for people considering headphones in the U.S., especially if you already own an iPhone. But AirPods Max are so damn expensive, right? Is it worth shelling out $550 for a pair of headphones when competitors like Nothing’s

Measles Cases Are Soaring in Mexico

The spread of measles is showing no signs of slowing down in Mexico. Between July 21 and 25, the country’s number of confirmed infections in 2025 rose from 3,553 to 3,730, an increase of 197 in only four days, according to the Ministry of Health. Experts and health officials in Mexico have warned that the virus’s speed of transmission appears to be increasing.

How Apple’s New Spotlight Compares to Raycast

There are all kinds of actions included out of the box. You can add calendar appointments and reminders and set timers. You can send text messages or start FaceTime calls. You can even set dedicated keyboard shortcuts for any of these actions. It's also the exact kind of thing that, until now, Raycast did that Spotlight could not. The difference is one of implementation. Apple's approach currently only works with Mac applications that implement the Spotlight feature. Right now, it’s basically l

Open source BOM management (for me)

Since graduating from university I’ve gotten more and more into embedded software development. This has even spilled over into designing PCBs (printed circuit boards) for my embedded devices to sit on. Initially I had assumed that the leap from software to hardware design would be insurmountable without any formal education but it turned out to be quite enjoyable. It turned out that the problem I’d be facing wasn’t a technical one, but of an organisational nature. Designing circuits Designing

150 years of Hans Christian Andersen

There once was an ugly duckling, so despised by the other birds that he fled the farm to explore the wider world. But because of his very great ugliness he was taunted there too, until one day he caught his image reflected in a pond and he had turned into a beautiful swan. The Ugly Duckling, first published in 1843, was one of Hans Christian Andersen’s many autobiographical fairy tales: “It matters nothing if one is born in a duck-yard,” he wrote, “if one has lain in a swan’s egg.” Andersen’s s

The 10 apps I can't live or work without - on Windows, Mac, and mobile

berkozel/Getty Images Every five years or so, I make an inventory of the apps I use most frequently. It's always fascinating to see how the list has changed over time, and it usually says something about the computing landscape. When I did that exercise this year, I was astonished at the changes. Half of the apps I used five years ago are no longer on my list at all in 2025. They've been replaced, in most cases, by apps that are tightly linked with web-based services and cloud storage and can

Show HN: Open-source physical rack-mounted GUI for home lab

The enclosure mounts as a 2U unit. 1U form factor was a bit challenging to pull off but I can try again. I have realized that a lot of people nowadays self-host services and set up home labs with mini racks. A significant challenge I've personally encountered is quickly obtaining health status from self-hosted services and machines, along with having the capability to control my Raspberry Pi headlessly within a mini rack. So, it got me thinking about creating a built-in GUI that users

Fixing Ctrl+C in Rust terminal apps: Child process management

The Trump-Crypto Honeymoon Is Over

As with any fledgling romance, Trumpworld and big money cryptocurrency interests were bound to have their first fight at some point. It was late June heading into July, and two highly anticipated bills were in the pipeline to help fulfill President Donald Trump’s promises to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and usher in what his supporters believed would be a “golden age” of digital assets. Congress had one shot at passing something before the August recess. Coinbase, the cryptoc

Figma’s IPO price hit a $19.3B valuation out of the gate

Figma will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday in one of the most anticipated IPOs of 2025. The IPO is 40x oversubscribed, VCs confirmed to TechCrunch and Bloomberg previously reported.
