Why I love my Kenmore canister vacuum

Emma Roth is a news writer here at The Verge, “and for me,” she explains, “that means every day is different. During the four years I’ve been here, I’ve covered breaking news and written about basically everything in the realm of tech, whether it’s streaming price hikes, the latest in AI chatbots, privacy issues surrounding age verification, and a whole lot more.” Although she covers the latest tech news and products, it turns out that one of Emma’s favorite home appliances is a decades-old vac

TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 finalizes the Builders Stage agenda with top scaling voices

Startups don’t build themselves, and the Builders Stage at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 — taking place October 27–29 at San Francisco’s Moscone West — is where founders, operators, and investors get real about what it actually takes.

MrBeast isn’t stopping at snacks — he could take on T-Mobile and Verizon next

TL;DR YouTuber MrBeast is reportedly planning to enter the US telecom industry. His telecommunications company is expected to launch in 2026, according to a leak. MrBeast will reportedly use the MVNO strategy instead of setting up a standalone carrier. It hasn’t been long since 27-year-old YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, entered the food industry by launching his chocolate and snack brand, Feastables. The YouTuber is now reportedly looking to expand into the telecommunic

No place in children's hands: <16s in UK to be banned from buying energy drinks

Under-16s in England will be banned from buying energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster because they fuel obesity, cause sleep problems and leave them unable to concentrate. Health experts, teaching unions and dentists welcomed the ban and said it would boost children and young people’s health. It fulfils a pledge Labour included in its manifesto for last year’s general election. “How can we expect children to do well at school if they have the equivalent of a double espresso in their syste

Apple's Assault on Standards

Apple's Assault on Standards Will we notice? And what can be done? TL;DR: Market competition underlies the enterprise of standards. It creates the only functional test of designs and functions as a pressure release valve that enables standards-based ecosystems route around single-vendor damage. Without competition, standards bodies have no purpose, and neither they, nor the ecosystems they support, can retain relevance. Apple has poisoned the well through a monopoly on influence which it has pa

Inside the World of "The Great British Bake Off"

One evening in the autumn of 2012, I got a somewhat urgent phone call from my mom. I was living in a quasi-legal student sublet at the time—the landlord had hooked the electricity up to the street lights outside—and she wanted to recommend a baking show that might distract me from the rats under the floor. Think “MasterChef” but with the pacing of an afternoon spent punting on the Thames. The bakers were normal people: a shop worker, a vicar’s wife, a searingly competitive sixty-three-year-old B

These 8 iPhone 17 Pro Max Feature Rumors Have Me Questioning My Earlier Phone Choices

Apple's phone lineup is usually split between the more-affordable iPhone and the extras-added iPhone Pro models, but this year we could see another split, and I'm not talking about a possible iPhone 17 Air. Whereas the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are basically the same phones but with different size screens and bodies, the iPhone 17 Pro Max expected to be announced at Apple's "Awe dropping" event next week on Sept. 9 could set itself apart from the regular-size iPhone 17 Pro. I've alway

Advanced geothermal startups are just getting warmed up

When Congressional Republicans took a sledgehammer to the Inflation Reduction Act last summer, advanced geothermal startups were largely spared. Drilling for renewable energy appears to be one of the few things that engenders bipartisan support. Now, with the uncertainty settled, geothermal companies are announcing deals that promise to pave the way for broader deployment of their technology. Houston-based Fervo Energy said on Tuesday it has picked a supplier for key parts of its power plants,

Acer’s 16-inch Swift Air weighs less than the 13-inch MacBook Air

A second Windows laptop has demonstrated that there is potential for the MacBook Air to be even lighter. Earlier this year, we saw a 14-inch Asus laptop come in lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air, and now Acer has done the same with a 16-inch model. Interestingly, the Acer Swift Air 16 manages to be lighter than the MacBook Air despite being thicker, at 0.63-inches against 0.44 inches … To be fair, Acer’s latest laptop doesn’t compete with the MacBook Air when it comes to either performance

reMarkable’s Paper Pro Move is a pocketable version of its e-paper tablet

reMarkable knows you’d like to use its e-paper tablet on the go, but the size of its current products don’t make that easy.

The reMarkable Paper Pro Move is a slate with a 7.3-inch display that’s the same size as a reporter’s notepad.

I gathered up a new crop of batteries to test and compared the results with our existing data to pick the best MagSafe-compatible battery out there. As we

Appeals court reinstates fired Democratic FTC commissioner

Rebecca Kelly Slaughter can resume her work as a commissioner for the FTC, a federal appeals court has ruled. Slaughter, who was one of the two Democratic commissioners for the FTC that President Trump fired back in March, filed a lawsuit for her reinstatement. "Your continued service on the FTC is inconsistent with my administration’s priorities," a letter to the commissioners said. In July, US District Judge Loren AliKhan ruled that her removal from the agency was "unlawful and without legal e

Why shadow AI could be the secret to fixing your company's failing AI projects
