HomePixel/iStock/Getty Images Plus Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. I like to think I'm organized, but I could use a bit of help on this front, especially when it comes to keeping track of my things. For example, I have a large vinyl collection, and I couldn't tell you every album I own. However, with the help of a home inventory app, that task is considerably easier. With an inventory app, you can keep track of anything: food, clothing, tools, games, technology, kitchen

Meta bypassed Apple privacy protections, claims former employee

A former Meta product manager has claimed that the social network circumvented Apple’s privacy protections, as well as cheating advertisers, and fired him when he repeatedly raised the issue internally. Meta is said to have found ways to identify Apple users even after they refused consent for app tracking, in order to avoid an estimated $10 billion loss of revenue … App Tracking Transparency hit Meta hard Meta relied heavily on selling personalized advertising, which required it to be able t

There must be something in the water at Spotify HQ. Less than a week after delivering long-promised lossless audio, the company has another treat. Free listeners can finally listen to any track they want. After enhancing Premium, perhaps Spotify figured it could add a free perk without shedding subscribers. Spotify accounts on the free plan can now choose any track and immediately listen to it. Previously, that was paywalled for Premium subscribers. Non-paying ones had to shuffle through an alb

Battling for the lead at an IRL version of Mario Kart

theverge.com Tim Stevens 2025-09-28 01:01:24

When it comes to mainstream gaming appeal, it’s hard to beat Mario Kart. Break out some controllers at a party and you’ll likely get a grid full of eager racers. The game’s seamless way of balancing disparate levels of skill and aggression creates an addictive experience for just about everyone. Real-world karting, on the other hand, remains more of a niche affair. Sure, plenty of people race karts at theme parks and putt-putt parking lots, but this style of racing isn’t on the radar for your a

Tonverk is Elektron’s new polyphonic sample mangler and groovebox

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-01 21:36:45

Elektron has built a cult-like following over the years with its unique and, at times, esoteric take on electronic musical instruments. On paper, Tonverk is a seemingly over-powered sampler that continues that tradition. It’s the rare piece of hardware capable of creating multisampled instruments on its own. It turns a single sample track into a nesting doll of multiple samples. And it’s loaded with an absolutely absurd amount of routing and audio processing features. Tonverk is certainly capabl

Reolink’s New Floodlight Camera Uses Sensors and AI to Detect Where It Can’t See

Reolink rolled out a new smart home security camera at IFA 2025 that the company says can see beyond its dual camera lenses.
