Spotify’s brief attempt at being a hardware company wasn’t all that successful: the company stopped producing its Car Thing dashboard accessory less than a year after it went on sale to the public. And now, two years later, the device is about to be rendered completely inoperable. Customers who bought the Car Thing are receiving emails warning that it will stop working altogether as of December 9th.
Unfortunately for those owners, Spotify isn’t offering any kind...

On today’s episode of Decoder, I sat down with Joseph Cox, one of the best cybersecurity reporters around. Joseph spent a long time working at Vice’s tech vertical Motherboard, but last year, after Vice imploded, he and three other journalists co-founded a new site, called 404 Media, where they’re doing some really great work.
Somehow, on top of all that, Joseph also found time to write a new book coming out in June called Dark Wire:...

Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, from Spry Fox games, will soon be added to Netflix’s ever-expanding lineup of games. Camp Spirit is the follow-up to Cozy Grove, an Animal Crossing-inspired crafting and survival game, but with ghosts instead of dog musicians and tanuki low-interest home loan providers.
In Camp Spirit, you’ll fulfill the wishes of dearly departed bears. (For a studio called Spry Fox, it’s kinda hilarious that nearly all of its games focus on bears.)...
There’s something charmingly retro-futuristic about Daylight’s whole vision. | Image: Daylight Computer
There’s a new company in the race to make a less distracting, more minimalist, and generally sanity-saving kind of computer. It’s called Daylight Computer, and it’s launching its first device today: the DC1, a 10.5-inch tablet with some interesting ideas about gadget design.
The DC1’s main hook is its display. Daylight calls it a “LivePaper” screen and says it looks...

The Mayor of Louisville and the Chief of Police held a press conference, but provided no congruent updates related to Scheffler.
A waste of time.
That is how I would summarize the press conference on Thursday, which featured Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg and Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel.
It lasted roughly 12 minutes, and the Mayor and the Chief...
Louisville police said the arresting officer in the Scottie Scheffler incident violated procedure by not activating his bodycam video recorder and has been disciplined.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) might be stepping up the country's AI enforcement mechanisms, as the organization explores new rules for disclosing the use of AI in political ads.
According to a new Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released this week, the commission is beginning initial investigations into nationwide requirements for labeling AI used in political advertising on TV and radio. The FCC will explore mandates for live, on-air and written AI disclosures and, most...
There are lots of password manager services out there, but unless you need something more robust than the basics of saving passwords, it's likely that you use Google Password Manager.
And today Google has good news for Password Manager users: They are finally getting one of those features found in most other dedicated password managing platforms, Family Sharing.
"With this new feature, you can now securely share your passwords with your family group in Google Password Manager," Google said in...
Good news for anyone who's ever found themselves in the Ticketmaster trenches: The U.S. Justice Department seeks to break up Live Nation Entertainment, Ticketmaster's parent company, over antitrust law violations.
The lawsuit, filed this morning (May 23), alleges that the music giant illegally controls a monopoly in live entertainment by engaging in long-term exclusive contracts with venues and threatening financial retribution against venues and artists who use Ticketmaster. It argues that...

When it comes to Mario’s traditional platforming adventures, the story is mostly set dressing. There’s an intro about Peach being captured or Bowser turning into a sentient castle, and then you get on with the jumping and exploring. But there’s a rich and interesting world that goes underexplored — which is where Mario’s roleplaying spinoffs come in. Since the original Super Mario RPG on the SNES, these games have not...
A notification on my Samsung Family Hub smart fridge told me my favorite feature was going away. Apparently, it was wrong. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge
Yesterday morning, I woke up to a notice on my fridge alerting me that one of my favorite features was going away. No, it wasn’t about to stop making ice. Instead, my Samsung Family Hub smart fridge told me I would no longer be able to watch Samsung TV Plus on its built-in screen. And while that turned out not to be...

In a blog post, the company announced it would begin publicly reporting on influence campaigns, where networks of accounts engage in coordinated efforts to sway political discourse. TikTok will share details of campaigns it detects and removes, saying it hopes it will “increase transparency about our work to aggressively...

The New York Liberty might have just gotten better... again.
If I had to bet on a player in the 2024 WNBA Draft that we wind up looking back on in half a decade and saying “How did she fall out of the lottery?” about, New York Liberty rookie Marquesha Davis would be my pick.
Davis snuck under the radar this season as Ole Miss dealt with numerous injuries that forced them to play without a traditional point guard for almost the entire...
Speaking at the FIA Press Conference, Mercedes driver George Russell addressed the continued ‘progress’ from the team
Coming out of last weekend’s Formula 1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, “progress” was the theme coming from Mercedes. The team brought the second half of their upgrades for the W15 — a process that began at the Miami Grand Prix — and with Lewis Hamilton finishing sixth and George Russell finishing seventh and picking up a bonus point for the fastest lap, the...

The Red Bull driver remains the favorite each week, but the gap is closing fast
Just when it looked like the 2024 Formula 1 season would be a carbon copy of the 2023 campaign, which saw Max Verstappen and Red Bull run away from the field in the Drivers’ Championship and the Constructors’ Championship, respectively, everything changed.
Lando Norris stormed to his maiden F1 victory at the Miami Grand Prix and, in the closing laps of last weekend’s...
