Why the tech industry loves selling unfinished products

Humane and Rabbit’s buggy new AI devices are merely the newest examples of an enduring trend. Plus: requiem for the home button.

Two gadgets in technology’s hottest new category have shipped. They arrive with great expectations, in part because their makers have promoted them with Barnumesque aplomb. But both are missing basic functionality. Worse, some of what is there doesn’t really work. Despite promises of updates to come, they get dismal reviews, an albatross that’s tough for...

Illustration by Hugo Herrera for The Verge

The UK is calling on search and social media companies to “tame toxic algorithms” that recommend harmful content to children, or risk billions in fines. On Wednesday, the UK’s media regulator Ofcom outlined over 40 proposed requirements for tech giants under its Online Safety Act rules, including robust age-checks and content moderation that aims to better protect minors online in compliance with upcoming digital safety laws.

Apple Pencil Pro hands-on: Squeeze, Roll, Hover — oh my!

I wanted the Apple Pencil Pro, leaked a few days before Apple's "Let Loose" livestream on May 7, to have two things: FindMy support and a Space Black colorway.

Apple only answered one of those prayers. Hallelujah! The Apple Pencil Pro has FindMy support. As clumsily forgetful as I am, this is a necessity.

Sadly, there's no Space Black Apple Pencil Pro, but the Apple Pencil Pro still has a ton of new features that I got to play around with at a recent New York City showcase.

In the world of iPads, the Air is heavier than the Pro

In 2008, at the Macworld conference in San Francisco, Steve Jobs pulled the original MacBook Air out of a manila envelope, thus ushering the era of ultra-light, "Air" Apple devices.

And although some MacBook Air variants did put on weight in the following years – there's now a larger, 15-inch variant – the company's Air lineup more or less stayed very light and nimble.

But in the company's most recent iPad lineup, introduced at yesterday's "Let Loose" event, the "Air" moniker makes...

How the internet became a breeding ground for slutshaming

An extract from Sluts: The Truth About Slutshaming & What We Can Do To Fight It by Mashable contributing writer Beth Ashley.

If the history of slutshaming has taught us anything, it’s that we have been condemning female sexuality and shaming anyone who doesn’t appear to fit sexual norms since long before the smartphone showed up. But the arrival of social media has significantly changed how slutshaming happens, how it’s received, and even how we speak about it.

Someone calls a woman a...

Venus is 900 degrees. That's surprisingly not why it's bone-dry.

When Venus formed billions of years ago, the planet probably had about as much water as Earth.

Thick carbon dioxide clouds in Venus' atmosphere trap heat, making it the hottest planet in the solar system, despite it being farther from the sun in space than Mercury. The runaway greenhouse effect has raised the planet's temperature to a sizzling 900 degrees Fahrenheit, according to NASA. 

But scientists say evaporation from heat can't completely explain why Venus, sometimes known as Earth's...

2024 iPad Air hands-on: Call me greedy, but I want more

After feasting my eyes on the thinnest-ever iPad Pro, which drew me in with its vivid, color-rich, ultra-bright OLED display, the new M2 iPad Air looked like the plain Jane sibling.

The iPad Pro had me looking like Jim Carrey's jaw-dropping character in The Mask while the iPad Air, well, just got an indifferent nod from me.

For some time, the rumor mill claimed that the iPad Air would sport miniLED, borrowing a display perk from the previous-generation 2022 iPad Pro. This incited a little bit...
