Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 will be even sadder and bloodier

is a senior editor following news across tech, culture, policy, and entertainment. He joined The Verge in 2021 after several years covering news at Engadget. In May, we learned that the development of a sequel to the Cyberpunk 2077 game is moving forward at CD Projekt Red, and today, at the Anime Expo 2025 event, it officially announced a new season of the anime spinoff for Netflix. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will have “…an entirely new story, fresh characters, and a raw, realistic take on the mo

Eero Pro 7 Review: Great Mesh Networking, Even if You Don’t Have Wi-Fi 7

It’s been years since I had consistently shitty Wi-Fi in my home. Around the time that Apple discontinued its AirPort routers in 2018, I cobbled together a mesh network comprised of a second-generation Eero Pro and one of the company’s entry-level Eeros. I’ve upgraded a couple of times since then, getting higher throughput and a couple extra bells and whistles, but generally the experience has been a stable one that’s asked little of me. Now, having spent some time with the Wi-Fi 7-capable Eero

I Loved Using This Keyboard, but There Was One Thing I Just Couldn't Get Used To

Gaming keyboards are everywhere these days, and with a plethora of options available it's not hard to find a good one. They can also be expensive, so it can be difficult to know if the investment is worth the money. It's with that in mind I got in the new the new Vulcan II Mini Air from Turtle Beach. I have some thoughts. Turtle Beach bought the company behind these keyboards, Roccat, several years ago, but it only started phasing out that branding in May of 2024. So you might still find the Ro

We confirmed Nintendo’s Switch 2 TV dock supports VRR — so why doesn’t it work with Switch 2?

is a senior editor and founding member of The Verge who covers gadgets, games, and toys. He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget. You want your games to play the smoothest they possibly can — but sometimes, screen technology gets in the way. That’s why some of the latest TVs and handhelds feature variable refresh rate (VRR) screens that can compensate when your graphics can’t deliver a consistent 60 or 120 frames per second. The Nintendo Switch 2 has a VRR screen — a

Everyone in tech has an opinion about Soham Parekh

You got into Y Combinator, raised $20 million from a16z, and then exited to Meta? That’s cool, I guess. But did Soham Parekh apply to work at your startup? There is now a new badge of honor for startup founders: your proximity to one previously unknown Indian software engineer named Soham Parekh. The Anna Delvey of Silicon Valley was outed on Wednesday when former Mixpanel CEO Suhail Doshi posted on X to warn fellow founders about Parekh. “PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who

Final GOP bill kneecaps renewables and hydrogen but lifts nuclear and geothermal

Republican legislators Thursday passed a reconciliation act that, among other things, unwinds much of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The bill, which passed 218-214 with two Republicans voting no, now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature. Trump is expected to sign it. Solar, wind, and clean hydrogen will all lose incentives under the new bill, while nuclear and geothermal see some IRA benefits preserved.

Parallelizing SHA256 Calculation on FPGA

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article where I developed a hash calculator on an FPGA. Specifically, I implemented an SHA-256 calculator. This module computes the hash of a string (up to 25 bytes) in 68 clock cycles. The design leverages the parallelism of FPGAs to compute the W matrix and the recursive rounds concurrently. However, it produces only one hash every 68 clock cycles, leaving most of the FPGA underutilized during that time. In this article we are going to elevate the performance of t

How to Fix Your Phone's Personal Hotspot When It's Not Working

Your phone's personal hotspot feature can come in handy in so many ways. For instance, if your home internet is experiencing an outage or if you brought your laptop to a cafe that doesn't offer Wi-Fi access, you can instead use your cellular data plan to get your other devices online. All recent iPhone and Android phones offer this feature, and if your cellular plan supports it, you can connect your laptop or other devices through your phone's 4G or 5G connection. While your phone's cellular co

Microsoft asks users to ignore Windows Firewall config errors

Microsoft asked customers this week to disregard incorrect Windows Firewall errors that appear after rebooting their systems following the installation of the June 2025 preview update. These warnings are logged in the Event Viewer as 'Event 2042' for Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, with a 'Config Read Failed' warning and a 'More data is available' message. Microsoft added that this known issue is caused by a new feature that's still under development and hasn't yet been fully integrat

AI job predictions become corporate America’s newest competitive sport

In Brief In late May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei appeared to kick open the door on a sensitive topic, warning that half of entry-level jobs could vanish within five years because of AI and push U.S. unemployment up to 20%. But Amodei is far from alone in sharing aloud that he foresees a workforce bloodbath. A new WSJ story highlights how other CEOs are also issuing dire predictions about AI’s job impact, turning employment doom into something of a competitive sport. Several of these prediction

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Issues? It Might Just Be Your HDMI Cable

As the Switch 2 continues to sell in the millions for Nintendo, it shouldn't be a surprise that there'd be some issues with the console. It appears, however, that one problem Switch 2 owners are facing is actually just a matter of using the wrong cable. Reddit users have posted about their Joy-Cons disconnecting when they're playing on their Switch 2 while it's docked, an issue spotted earlier by IGN. It does appear that, luckily, the issue can be resolved by using the included HDMI cable for t

Microsoft's 'Blue Screen of Death' Dies After 40 Years: Meet Its Replacement

Like Pudding Pops and Benetton sweaters, another 1980s icon is gone. After 40 years of delivering the tragic news of a PC crash to Windows users, Microsoft's infamous "blue screen of death" is going away. A black screen of death will be replacing it, albeit without the sad face. The blue screen of death has been around since Windows 1.0 came out in 1985. Named for its bright blue color, it's a critical error screen that pops up on computers using the Microsoft Windows operating system when the

How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking

is a senior editor and founding member of The Verge who covers gadgets, games, and toys. He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget. There’s always a reason why universal USB-C ports don’t “just work” like you’d expect. In the early days, it was incompetence or naiveté. Later, manufacturers often cheaped out. But in the case of Nintendo’s Switch 2, it appears to be intentional. With the Nintendo Switch 2, it should be easy to plug your new, more expensive console into v

Rice could be key to brewing better non-alcoholic beer

There is increasing consumer demand for low- or non-alcoholic beers, and science is helping improve both the brewing process and the flavor profiles of the final product. One promising approach to better non-alcoholic beer involves substituting barley malt with milled rice, according to two recent papers—one published in the International Journal of Food Properties and the other published in the Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists. The chemistry of brewing beer is a very active

Everwild has reportedly been cancelled amid Xbox layoffs

In today's gaming world, a decade of development can sometimes amount to nothing. Parent company Microsoft has reportedly cancelled Rare's long-in-development project Everwild. The news comes amid broader layoffs across Microsoft's Xbox division. Rare employees will likely be part of the Xbox layoffs, according to Video Games Chronicle. VGC and Bloomberg's Jason Schreier were the first to report the game's cancellation. (Schreier added that an MMORPG project from Zenimax, codenamed "Blackbird,"

Windows 11 should have been an easy upgrade - Microsoft chose to unleash chaos on us instead

Matthias Kulka/Getty Images In my three-plus decades of watching Microsoft, I've seen the company do some truly dumb things. The transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11 deserves a spot at the top of the list. What's most impressive is that the strategy it's been executing is bad for Microsoft's customers, and bad for the company's bottom line. A real lose-lose proposition.
