Trevor Milton's Nikola Case Dropped by SEC Following Trump Pardon

The US Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC) has dropped its fraud case against Nikola‘s founder and former CEO Trevor Milton, after Trump’s pardon six months ago. Trevor Milton, who had been convicted of securities fraud, received a pardon from the US President Donald Trump in March, a month after the Phoenix-based electric and hydrogen truck maker Nikola filed for bankrupcy. The full and unconditional presidential pardon overturned a four-year prison sentence, imposed in December 2023, for

The EU Just Killed ARR

The EU Just Killed ARR Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has been the backbone of SaaS for two decades. It gave investors predictable growth curves. It gave founders leverage in fundraising. It let boards sleep at night. But ARR was never a really well defined metric. And now, it may be practically dead in Europe. With the EU Data Act (effective September 2025), every SaaS contract with an EU customer becomes a “cancel anytime” subscription. Customers can walk away with two months’ notice. No e

Trump’s Golden Dome Projected to Cost Exponentially More Than the Manhattan Project

Donald Trump has many grand plans for America, one of the more ambitious of which is to create a giant invisible space shield that theoretically protects the country from rockets. In January, Trump announced, via executive order, the creation of a “Golden Dome,” designed to protect Americans from the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.” The project, Trump said, would use a network of satellites to detect and repel aerial attacks on

The Eagles Come Home to Roost in the Most Screwball ‘Peacemaker’ Yet

Peacemaker season two is trucking right along, picking up from its last episode’s big cliffhanger, suspending the situationship of Christopher Smith and Emilia Harcourt for an entire week before viewers can see how the chips will fall. Will Eagly make it out okay? Does bird blindness have a cure? Will the shoe ever drop on the long-held fan theory that Chris’ “best dimension ever” is actually a Nazi dimension? Seeing as how writer-director James Gunn has kept mum about every episode beyond this

Tropical Storm Gabrielle Breaks ‘Unprecedented’ Atlantic Storm Drought

An exceptionally long lull in Atlantic storm activity finally came to an end Wednesday as Tropical Storm Gabrielle took shape. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center expect this storm to strengthen into the second hurricane of the season by Sunday. Gabrielle’s emergence followed 20 days of no named storms in the Atlantic basin—a dry spell that WPLG-TV hurricane specialist Michael Lowry called “unprecedented” for the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season. As of Friday morning, Gabrielle ha

If You're Waking Up to Pee in The Middle of the Night, Here's How to Prevent It

There are several simple lifestyle changes you can make to help you sleep through the night.

If you own a Volvo EX90, you’re getting a free computer upgrade

If you own a 2025 Volvo EX90, here's some good news: you're getting a car computer upgrade. Even better news? It's free. The Swedish automaker says that owners of model year 2025 EX90s—like the one we tested earlier this summer—are eligible for an upgrade to the electric vehicle's core computer. Specifically, the cars will get a new dual Nvidia DRIVE AGX Orin setup, which Volvo says will improve performance and reduce battery drainage, as well as enabling some features that have been TBD so far

YouTube Thinks AI Is Its Next Big Bang

Google figured out early on that video would be a great addition to its search business, so in 2005 it launched Google Video. Focused on making deals with the entertainment industry for second-rate content, and overly cautious on what users could upload, it flopped. Meanwhile, a tiny startup run by a handful of employees working above a San Mateo, California, pizzeria was exploding, simply by letting anyone upload their goofy videos and not worrying too much about who held copyrights to the clip

Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone price hikes are not tied to tariffs

Apple CEO Tim Cook said price hikes on the newest iPhone models aren't tied to President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff plans. "There's no increase for tariffs in the prices to be totally clear," Cook told CNBC's Jim Cramer from Apple's Fifth Avenue store location in New York City, as the latest iPhone model launched in stores worldwide. It is one of the first instances in which Cook has decisively addressed tariffs in relation to iPhone prices. Earlier this month, Apple increased the price o

MIT Researchers Release Disturbing Paper About AI Boyfriends

How would you react if your mother admitted to you she was dating Aubrey "Drake" Graham, the rap superstar from Toronto? And that this new boyfriend wasn't the real flesh-and-blood Drake — oh no — but is instead the AI chatbot version of Champagne Papi. This is an actual situation that was relayed by the Drake-dating mother in question in a Reddit group with the self-explanatory name of r/MyBoyfriendIsAI, which is now the focus of a first-of-its-kind, large-scale study on human-AI companion int

The AI Bubble Bursting Would Actually Be Incredible for the Economy, Economist Says

The US economy is absolutely screaming. Late rent payments and loan delinquencies are skyrocketing, and the top 10 percent of earners account for nearly half of all consumer spending. In early September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the nation added over 900,000 fewer jobs than previously thought from March 2024 to 2025. Yet, as bad as things might feel for common folk, financial markets have never looked better — the tech-dominated Nasdaq continues to reach record highs, and th

Apple TV+ might have its next big blockbuster movie lined up

Apple TV+ has a strong lineup of fall film debuts on the way, but a new report indicates the streamer is about to land one of its biggest movies yet: a new Martin Scorsese film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence starring.

This fall alone, Apple TV+ has already premiered th

Football Manager 26 will feature women’s soccer for the first time

This means you’ll be able to select a women’s team to manage, complete with accurate player imagery, club logos and kits. The debut of women’s soccer was actually announced way back in 2021, and was supposed to feature in Football Manage

Court lets NSF keep swinging axe at $1B in research grants

A US court has cleared the way for the National Science Foundation to press ahead with the cancellation of more than 1,700 research grants worth upwards of $1 billion. The ruling, handed down this week by Judge Jia Cobb of the DC District Court, rejects a request from researchers, universities and scientific societies to reinstate the cancelled grants while the case is heard. The plaintiffs had argued that NSF's mass terminations were arbitrary, unlawful and would do irreparable harm to the cou

I regret building this $3000 Pi AI cluster

I ordered a set of 10 Compute Blades in April 2023 (two years ago), and they just arrived a few weeks ago. In that time Raspberry Pi upgraded the CM4 to a CM5, so I ordered a set of 10 16GB CM5 Lite modules for my blade cluster. That should give me 160 GB of total RAM to play with. This was the biggest Pi cluster I've built, and it set me back around $3,000, shipping included: There's another Pi-powered blade computer, the Xerxes Pi. It's smaller and cheaper, but it just wrapped up its own Kic

The Next ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Arc Is Getting the Big Movie Treatment

In what’s sure to put a bow on an already banner year for anime, both streaming and in theaters, Gkids officially announced it’s giving Jujutsu Kaisen‘s forthcoming Culling Game Arc a sneak peek episodic release in theaters ahead of its third season this December. In the same vein as Gkids’ other anime theatrical events for shows like Dan Da Dan and Witch Watch, Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution will combine “the best of the Shibuya Incident arc”—the big climactic battle from its second season—as well

Would You Use a Mouse With a Fake ‘Click?’

Logitech’s race to offer an esports mouse with the fastest response time has led us to a mouse that’s completely different than any I’ve used before. Mice have relied on the same type of microswitches for their button clicks for so long, it’s hard to imagine what would be next. So I didn’t know what to think when I sat down in front of the $180 Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike mouse that doesn’t “click” in the traditional sense. Instead, it uses haptics to offer a facsimile of the classic click sen

I've Tried Huawei's Watch GT 6 Pro, and It's a Great Apple Watch Alternative

Due to ongoing restrictions, Huawei doesn't officially sell its products in the US. That's too bad, as the company is bringing a great Apple Watch Series 11 alternative to the rest of the world, where it can sell its devices. The company's latest Watch GT 6 Pro is a solid all-around smartwatch promising deep health and sports tracking along with strong battery life.

What Is a High Refresh Rate? Explaining 120 Hz on Phones, TVs, and Monitors

Many of our favorite TVs and monitors feature displays with high refresh rates, promising smoother on-screen action and a sharper picture. The same is true for the best Android phones and all of Apple's iPhone Pro models (since the 13 Pro and onward). Today, every iPhone 17 model can reach a 120-Hz refresh rate. It has become standard across the board. High refresh rates are frequently discussed in gaming, where fast reactions and instant on-screen updates can mean the difference between victor

Tour our smart home reviewer’s smart backyard

When The Verge’s senior smart home reviewer, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, offered to give us a tour of her smart backyard, I was thrilled. Firstly, I have never seen a technologically advanced backyard curated by an industry expert before, and secondly, I wasn’t even sure what to expect. My vision of a smart home includes automated vacuums, a smart thermostat, and maybe one of those AI fridges that suggests recipes — all of which work within controlled environments and are built around making life i

There is a certain degree of body horror baked into American football that becomes readily apparent whenever players sustain gruesome, career-ending injuries on camera. For some, football’s overt violence is part of its appeal, and players are seen as people who have chosen to risk their safety in pursuit of fame and glory. Over the y
