Smart home company Ecobee launched a new feature for its thermostats today that will automatically adjust temperatures to save energy when there’s a risk of a power outage. And unlike some utilities’ energy saving programs, customers will always be able to opt out with Ecobee.

Elon Musk has agreed to testify in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigation into his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter. A legal document filed on Thursday shows that Musk waived his right to appeal a court order that requires him to testify.
This means Musk will have to appear at one of the SEC’s offices for an up to five-hour interview. The document says Musk and the SEC have already agreed to a date, but...
Big, dumb, expensive, and failing to deliver on its promises.
It’s truly incomprehensible just how terrible the New York Mets are. Sure, there are four teams with worse records in MLB this season — but nobody in baseball comes close to the disparity between expectation and reality than the Mets.
This is a team that’s big, dumb, expensive, useless, and laughed at by anyone who sets eyes on it — defended only by those with a mixture of cult-like fanaticism and blind loyalty....

Playboy and Lovers are renowned for developing innovative sex toys, but this latest release is interesting. And, if you buy one, you can get another 50% off with the code “GOBOGO.”

This new line features an innovative thruster (Match Play), a G-spot/P-spot vibrator (Mix & Match), and a lipstick vibe (Bunny Bunch).
...The agricultural requirements were a last-minute change, which few ethanol producers can satisfy.
Little to no ethanol will qualify for U.S. sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) subsidies under a new pilot program by President Joe Biden’s administration, which toughened climate requirements at the last minute, according to a Reuters review of government data and people familiar with the matter.

If you’re selling your Windows computer or passing it on to someone else, you’re going to want to first wipe everything. Or you may want to rid yourself of several years of data bloat and start again with a clean slate.
The good news is that wiping and reinstalling Windows is a lot easier than it used to be. I’m old enough to remember when it involved hours of file swapping, installation discs, and hours spent putting programs, emails,...

We’ve been covering big changes to Google and Google Search very closely here on Decoder and The Verge. There’s a good reason for that: the entire business of the modern web is built around Google.
It’s a whole ecosystem. Websites get traffic from Google Search, they all get built to work in Google Chrome, and Google dominates the stack of advertising technologies that turn all of it into money. It’s honestly been challenging to explain just how Google...

Anthropic is releasing a new feature for its AI chatbot Claude that will let anyone create an email assistant, a bot to purchase shoes, or other personalized solutions. It’s called “tool use” (or the nerdier “function calling”), and it hooks up to any external API of your choosing.
While I’m not a huge fan of the term “AI agents,” that’s essentially the game plan here. For instance, the tool can analyze data to create personalized product...

The last time Microsoft really needed Windows developers was when it asked them to build a new type of application that could work across phones, PCs, tablets, Xbox consoles, and headsets like the HoloLens. It was all part of a larger effort to transform Windows with a new interface for touch-friendly apps, designed to rival the iPad.
It failed miserably. Developers didn’t flock to universal Windows apps, and Microsoft eventually abandoned its touch-friendly UI in...
Race car drivers explain in their own words why their sport isn’t a Sunday drive
“They are not athletes.”
“I drive a car too, how hard can it be?”
“Fake sport.”
Writing about motorsports elicits a number of different responses. Inevitably, however, responses like the above pop up. Readers questioning the coverage, questioning the athletes, questioning the sport itself.
Over the past year I have been truly lucky to sit down with a number of different drivers, across...

Can Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals move forward from franchise-tag holdout?
Three months have passed since the Cincinnati Bengals informed wide receiver Tee Higgins they were placing the franchise tag on him. In the time since, Higgins requested a trade before reluctantly admitting fate is out of his hands and the most likely scenario has him playing under the tag.
Now, weeks of organized team activities are underway and Higgins has yet to...
Miller’s legal group had sued the Hello Alice for a grant program aimed at Black business owners—a judge just ruled to dismiss.
A federal judge has tossed out a case brought by the Stephen Miller-backed America First Legal against a small Texas company as part of what the non-profit calls its effort to “dismantle the DEI industrial complex.” America First Legal quickly filed notice with the court saying it would appeal the judge’s ruling.
