As the tech world has standardized on USB-C, charging your devices has become much simpler. But it’s still not simple enough. Sure, most things plug into most other things, but now you have to worry about power and data throughput, making sure that everything works properly with everything else. That’s why we’ve spent years longing for what we call the God Cable: the one with fast enough everything to be the perfect charger for devices from phones to power tools.

Meta has a well-earned reputation as the fastest follower in tech. Did your startup launch a cool feature that people like? Before you can say “Series B,” Meta will have built something eerily similar, embedded it into its vastly more popular platforms, and eaten your lunch. This probably isn’t how CEO Mark Zuckerberg would like to see his empire, but it’s genuinely an asset; few companies have done as good a job of identifying and jumping on trends. Sometimes, though, jumping on trends means s

Here’s one probably not on a lot of designers’ lists, though: the insect enticement factor.

The AI recorder premise is an enticing one. You wear this tiny microphone around your neck, on your wrist, or pinned to your sweater, and it records everything. Your recorder can tell you all the things you promised to do and immediately forgot; remind you where you were when you talked about how much you liked the coffee; keep notes on all your meetings and conversations. Perfect memory is hard to argue with. But on this episode of The Vergecast, we wonder whether perfect memory is really such

The generally accepted way to launch your new car company is by building something fancy and expensive. Call it Founder’s Edition or name it after a precious metal, hope people pay for the privilege of exclusivity, and go from there. Slate Auto is doing… the opposite. The three-year-old company just announced its first vehicle, and it’s building a sub-$20,000 pickup with no stereo, no paint, and practically no options at all. It’s nothing like anything we’ve seen.
