How to turn off headphone volume limit warnings on iPhone and iPad

Hearing health is incredibly important, and gentle reminders from Apple to keep that in mind can be helpful. However, if you’re just tired of seeing headphone volume limit warnings, there’s actually a way to turn those off. iOS and iPadOS track headphone audio exposure over a rolling seven-day period. If the system detects that you’ve exceeded safe listening levels (based on guidelines from the World Health Organization), you’ll get a notification urging you to lower your volume. How to turn o

Inside the Multimillion-Dollar Gray Market for Video Game Cheats

Software that can see opponents through walls. Aimbots that can lock onto other players automatically. Tools that can boost characters’ stats to the max. The world of online game cheats is expansive—with some cheat websites advertising hacks for dozens of PC games—and it’s being driven by an underground economy that’s allegedly raking in millions every year. Over the last two years, a group of computer scientists has been analyzing and mapping the online cheat marketplace, observing what behavi

Everyone Should Have Exactly 3 Pairs of Headphones, and These Are My Picks. Here's Why

When people ask you what your "big three" are, they might be asking about your sun, moon and rising astrological signs. But when I ask my friends the same question, I'm not trying to determine their horoscope. Instead, I'm curious what their headphones and earbuds collection looks like. After more than a decade working as a technology journalist, I'm in the fortunate position of having what most people would consider to be too much tech in my house. I make a real effort to keep it to a minimum

Scarcity, Inventory, and Inequity: A Deep Dive into Airline Fare Buckets

Airline pricing may seem mystifying, but behind every airfare is a complex system of fare buckets and inventory controls. Airlines don't just sell seats - they manage a dynamic inventory of fares, divided into booking classes (fare buckets) with different prices and rules. For the technically curious, understanding how fare buckets work reveals the "source code" of airline revenue management. This report delves into the hierarchy of booking classes, how airlines update seat availability across r

Call of Duty cheaters complain after Activision launches new wave of mass-bans

Several players of the popular first-person shooter Call of Duty complained last week that they were permanently banned from the game for using a well-known cheat. Video game streamer ItsHapa wrote on X last week that Call of Duty players using ArtificialAiming, a cheat provider of more than 19 years, were the targets of a “massive wave of permabans,” referring to bans that cannot be reversed, which prevents cheaters from creating new accounts. The streamer also posted a series of screenshots f

The Verge’s summer ‘in’ and ‘out’ list

Here at this website, my colleagues and I follow our beats closely, from wearable tech and laptops to influencer culture and federal policy. Last year, I asked a bunch of staff at The Verge to pretend to be trend forecasters for a lighthearted collection of what’s hot and what’s not. Some of the predictions really held up: many would say the US Supreme Court continues to be out, congestion pricing in New York is decidedly in despite attempts to kill it, and cats are, as ever, a bit of both.
