DJI Flip review: A unique and useful creator drone with a few flaws

After creating a stir with the $200 Neo, DJI is back at it with another innovative drone, the Flip. It has a first-of-a-kind folding design and shrouded propellers to keep people safe. It also integrates 3D infrared obstacle detection to track subjects and has a long list of impressive features. With a camera borrowed from the Mini 4 Pro, the Flip can take high-quality 4K 60p video indoors or out with little risk. It comes with vlogger-friendly features like Direction Track and Quickshots for s

Running Gear Guide: Keep Training Through the Worst of Winter

I'm not going to lie. Bitterly cold temperatures and windchills, not to mention snow and ice, have made it tough to get out for my scheduled runs recently. Don't get me wrong. Winter training in New York City is always hard and this isn't my first rodeo, but I don't remember it being this cold when I trained for the Boston Marathon last winter. Regardless, the TCS London Marathon is about two months away and my training for it is about to kick into high gear. Having friends to run with a coupl

How automotive exec Crystal Brown founded CircNova, an AI drug discovery biotech

Tiny Michigan biotech startup CircNova has raised a $3.3 million seed round for its technology that uses AI to target “circular RNA.” The development holds promise as a new method to quickly develop therapies for conditions that currently have no drug treatments. The new funding is also a victory lap for co-founder and CEO Crystal Brown, who took an unconventional path to becoming a biotech founder. RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a key molecule that helps convert genetic information into protein

Joe Rogan Is No Longer the King of Podcasts

Following the 2024 Presidential election, it seemed like there was one big winner who wasn’t on a ballot: Joe Rogan. The podcast host seemingly succeeded in putting his finger on the scale and using his platform to help propel Donald Trump back into the White House. But ever since Trump took office, Rogan’s numbers have been slipping. According to The Daily Beast, he got knocked out of the top spot on the charts by anti-Trump podcast MeidasTouch, and he’s not taking it particularly well. On Twi

Revolutionary Girl Utena Is as Lynchian as Shojo Anime Has Ever Been

Over the years, critics and everyday people have come to identify media as “Lynchian,” in reverence for how video games, movies, and TV shows evoke the dream-like quality of the late auteur David Lynch. Although most media described as Lynchian takes its inspiration from seminal works like Twin Peaks through referential nods, no show completely embodies the ephemeral vibe of Lynch’s opaque-yet-piercing style of storytelling quite like the similarly influential shojo anime series Revolutionary Gi

Samsung’s 2025 Galaxy A mid-rangers are getting ready to make their debut

TL;DR Samsung is expected to introduce a 2025 refresh to its Galaxy A lineup of mid-range phones, including the Galaxy A56, Galaxy A36, and Galaxy A26. Renders have already revealed what these models are likely to look like, and some have started appearing in regulatory database. Now all three models have been spotted on a Samsung service page. What’s Samsung’s biggest selling smartphone? Last year, would that have been the Galaxy S24? Maybe the S24 Ultra? Sure, those can definitely make it i

YouTube Music just gave its AI playlist maker a revamp

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A YouTube Music update has turned the “Ask for music any way you like” card into an “Ask for music” carousel. The carousel refreshes throughout the day. There’s a new “Ask any way you like” text field below the carousel. The home feed for the YouTube Music app now looks a little different for Android users. An update has rolled out that changes how “Ask Music” appears in the app. Spotted by 9to5Google, the old “Ask for music any way you like” card t

A $599 iPhone 16e is a cruel joke

The $599 iPhone 16e is many things, but don't you dare call it a budget phone. I hesitate to even call it "cheap." As a successor to the $429 iPhone SE, it's hard not to see the 16e as a disappointment. Sure, it's $200 less than the vanilla iPhone 16 (which I argued was a great deal at launch), and the 16e also packs in the latest A18 chip with support for Apple Intelligence. But it's no longer a small phone, and it pushes Apple's cheaper iPhone option well beyond $500. That's something we'll li

Elon Musk wants to 'fix' Community Notes on X

Elon Musk has a problem with Community Notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking feature that started as Birdwatch, and launched at scale after he purchased Twitter. "Unfortunately @CommunityNotes is increasingly being gamed by governments & legacy media," Musk posted. "Working to fix this..." Based on the rant his tweet descends in to afterwards, his issue appears to be with how X's Community Notes contributors have been treating misinformation about President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the war in Uk

Elon Musk Says He’ll ‘Fix’ Community Notes on X After It Disagreed With Him

Elon Musk is not happy with Community Notes, the crowdsourced fact-checking program that adds notes to correct misinformation on his social media platform X. And the billionaire says he’s now going to “fix” Community Notes so that it agrees with him, claiming without evidence that it’s being manipulated by governments and the media. “Unfortunately, @CommunityNotes is increasingly being gamed by governments & legacy media. Working to fix this,” Musk tweeted Thursday. Why is Musk upset? It looks

The 3 Best Essential Oil Diffusers (and One to Avoid)

I first learned about Pura from a friend whose house always smelled like a high-end boutique under every circumstance. Cooking project, water leak … no matter what was going on in her house at the time, I only ever smelled berries. I have two cats and a multi-sports-playing tween—I knew I needed this. Now, about 14 months into my Pura journey, I have some thoughts. While most of my time has been with the now discontinued Pura 3, I have also since used the Pura 4 and new large-room Pura Plus, al

The Verge’s favorite kitchen gadgets

Many members of The Verge’s staff enjoy cooking — and all enjoy eating. Inspired by that admittedly obvious thought, we asked them to say which kitchen tools they most enjoy using these days. We got a wide and fascinating array of answers. They include gadgets that need to be charged, such as electric kettles, blenders, and smart thermometers, as well as simpler, non-powered tools like egg holders, spreader knives, and wooden spoons. (Sometimes simpler can be better.) So check out how our writ

Apple’s iPhone 16e seems boring, and that’s exactly why I want one

Apple I might be the one and only person who’s genuinely excited about the iPhone 16e. On paper, there’s nothing crazy about Apple’s new mid-range phone — it only has one camera, brings back the notch for Face ID, and comes in two bland colorways, black and white. But hear me out — that’s why I’m excited. For the first time in a long time, it feels like Apple is making a phone for people who don’t want to be completely glued to their phones, and I think that will make the iPhone 16e a success.

10 key reasons AI went mainstream overnight - and what happens next

ZDNET This AI thing has taken off really fast, hasn't it? It's almost like we mined some crashed alien spacecraft for advanced technology, and this is what we got. I know, I've been watching too much *Stargate*. But the hyper-speed crossing the chasm effects of generative AI are real. Generative AI, with tools like ChatGPT, hit the world hard in early 2023. All of a sudden, many vendors are incorporating AI features into their products, and our workflow patterns have changed considerably. Als

This company is trying to make a biodegradable alternative to spandex

“True circularity has to start with raw materials,” says Peña. “We talk about circularity across many industries, but for textiles, we must address what we’re using at the source.” Engineered from recombinant DNA, SELPs are copycat proteins inspired by silk and elastin that can be customized for qualities like tensile strength, dye affinity, and elasticity. Silk’s amino acid sequences—like glycine-alanine and glycine-serine—give fibers strength, while elastin’s molecular structure adds stretchi

Someone just released a PS3 emulator for Android (Update: And it’s gone)

Nick Fernandez / Android Authority Update (0:24 AM EST, February 20, 2025): The aPS3e PS3 emulator made headlines this week as the first functional PS3 emulator on Android. Unfortunately, the app and developer have seemingly disappeared. The project GitHub page and developer Aenu’s account have both disappeared, now offering a 404 error screen. This comes after reports that this new emulator actually used code from the open-source RPCS3 emulator. Furthermore, the developer was asking for $2,00

6 Things We Liked, and 4 We Didn’t, About Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

While the jury is still out on whether or not Marvel is “back” after the mixed reception of the not-so-brave and not-so-new Captain America film, things are continuing on the upswing in the animation department. Marvel Animation’s latest romp, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, has been must-watch weekly television on Disney+. This is saying a lot since it’s been vying for comic book fans’ attention by streaming against the likes of Prime Video’s Invincible season three. Amid the long-stand

Tesla Cybertruck: all the news about Elon Musk’s futuristic pickup truck

Here’s everything you need to know about Tesla’s first pickup truck, which Elon Musk has called “heart-stopping” and his “personal favorite” of Tesla’s vehicles. Pickups have become more popular lately — their share of the US light vehicle market increased to 17.5 percent in 2019, from just under 13 percent in 2012. They’re also the fastest-growing auto segment in the US. That makes Tesla’s entry into pickups sensible, analysts say. Another pickup perk: pricing. Pickups tend to be expensive. E

Rabbit shows off the AI agent it should have launched with

is a weekend editor who covers the latest in tech and entertainment. He has written news, reviews, and more as a tech journalist since 2020. The Humane AI Pin has collapsed, but Rabbit is still kicking. The company published a blog post and video today showing off a “generalist Android agent,” slowly controlling apps on a tablet in much the same way that Rabbit claimed its R1 device would over a year ago. (It couldn’t, and can’t.) The work builds on LAM Playground, a “generalist web agent” Rabb

Amazon's Prime Video Appears to Have Left AI Slop in the Public Description of an Oscar-Winning Al Pacino Film

Amazon's Prime Video on-demand streaming service appears to be using generative AI to write up public movie summaries — and the results are embarrassing, with what looks like AI slop getting copy-pasted into the description of an iconic film. A viral image on Bluesky shows the description of the Oscar-winning 1975 drama "Dog Day Afternoon," starring Al Pacino, which includes the suspicious phrase: "Unfortunately I do not have enough information to summarize further within the provided guideline
