Everyone's got their eye on 'Avengers: Doomsday,' but Kevin Feige thinks 'Secret Wars' will be Marvel flexes its creative muscles.

When Ridge Racer hit the arcades in the early 1990s, it came in a few different versions. The last variant used three large CRTs to create a wraparound display for the player. Incredibly rare, it’s believed that only a single-digit number of machines remain in existence. [beaumotplage] has secured a remaining example, and been working to preserve this historical artifact.
The first mission when it comes to this machine was to dump the ROMs, which have thus far not been preserved in any major archive. With that done, [beaumotplage] worked to hack a version of MAME that could emulate the Three Monitor Version’s unique mode of operation. As it turns out, each screen is driven by its own arcade board, with...

There are two UNIVAC 1219B computers that have survived since the 1960s and one of them is even operational. [Nathan Farlow] wanted to run a Minecraft server on it, so he did. After a lot of work, of course, which is described in a detailed blog post, and, a YouTube video by [TheScienceElf] we’ve embedded below.
The UNIVAC is a seriously weird architecture by modern standards: it’s got eighteen-bit words — yeah, not even a power of two — and one’s compliment arithmatic with a weird signed zero thing going on. There’s one 36-bit and one 18-bit register, and only 40,960 words of memory. Eighteen-bit words. Yeah, it was the 1960s and they were making it up as they went along.
[Nathan] wasn’t,...

In some Minneapolis neighborhoods, nearly every house has an anti-ICE sign. | Photo by Jack Califano / The Verge Jorge L. Alonso, a federal district court judge for the Northern District of Illinois, said that the Trump Administration violated the First Amendment when it pressured Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking groups and apps. Judge Alonso granted the plaintiffs, Kassandra Rosado, who runs the ICE Sightings - Chicagoland Facebook group, and Kreisau Group, the developers of Eyes Up, a preliminary injunction.
Judge Alonso cited a unanimous Supreme Court decision from a 2024 case that pitted the NRA against the former superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services, Maria Vullo. In...

Procédures de résiliation complexes, frais cachés, conversations absconses avec des chatbots… En nous imposant des démarches fastidieuses et frustrantes pour obtenir ce à quoi nous avons droit, les entreprises misent sur l’“économie de l’exaspération” pour réaliser des profits à nos dépens, dénoncent plusieurs journaux américains.

As EV subsidies fade, e-bikes are filling the gap. Consumer Reports picked the best Class 1 models to help you find the right ride

From fancy OLED TVs to robot vacuums with arms, we tend to cover a lot of cool stuff here at The Verge that, unfortunately, often costs as much as a month’s rent (or more). But with the ongoing tariff situation in the US and a global memory shortage pushing up the cost of, well, everything, we’re well aware that not everyone can spend that kind of money right now. So, as we did last year, we asked The Verge staff to share some of their favorite gadgets under $50. These are the gizmos that don’t fall apart after a few weeks, as cheap stuff often does, and quietly improve our lives. Some are practical purchases, like portable power banks and backup bulbs, while the rest are useful in other ways. After...

There is a currently ongoing debate in the neuropsychology world about how we relate to the tools that we use. The theory of “tool embodiment” says that when we use some tools frequently enough, our brain recognizes them similarly to how it recognizes our own hands, for instance. There is evidence and counter-evidence from experiments with prosthetics, trash-grabber arms, and rubber dummy arms, just to name a few. It’s fair to say the jury is still out.
All I know is that today my trackball broke, and using a normal gaming mouse to edit the podcast was torture. It would be an exaggeration to say that I felt like I’d lost a hand, but I have so much motor memory apparently built up in my use of the...

Two years ago I attended a picturesque outdoor wedding in August where the hot and humid weather had guests occasionally ducking into their cars to enjoy a blast of AC. Dyson’s new $99.99 handheld fan would have provided some much-needed relief then, although I’m not sure I would have been comfortable powering it up during the service or reception. The HushJet Mini Cool is as slim and sleek as Dyson’s recent thin vacuum and hair dryer, but it’s not quiet enough to earn the name “Hush.” That’s unfortunate because the HushJet Mini Cool is yet another product Dyson has redesigned to look and perform better than what’s already on the market. All of its components — including the motor, 5,000mAh...

Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 124, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world.

With a vacation comes a big choice: What game should I focus on during the trip? I thought about grinding out the harder levels of Super Meat Boy 3D, but I was looking for something more chill. I could have dabbled more with Slay the Spire II, but I already know that's a game I'll be playing for a long time. I wanted something that I could really get lost in and finish in a little over a week. People of Note, a new music-focused RPG from Annapurna Interactive and Iridium Studios, turned out to be exactly what I needed.

[Jeremy Bell] loves scratching, but he had a problem. His Hercules DJ controller wasn’t really doing a great job at emulating the kind of action one would get with a real turntable. The solution was both mechanical and electronic in nature!
As stock, the Hercules MIDI rig lets you scratch in a relatively simplistic way. When it detects a finger touching the rotary control, it lets you scratch back and forth with great motion tracking. However, when you let go, playback resumes at regular speed instantaneously, which creates a somewhat inorganic sound.
The fix was to make some mechanical mods to the MIDI controller. [Jeremy] tried out a variety of different methods of using a motor to spin the rotary control...

There’s something to be said for a simple wind-up, free flight model airplane. With no controls, it must be built very well to fly well, and with only the limited power of a rubber band, it needs a good, high-lift design without much superfluous drag to maximize flight time. There’s also something to be said for modernity though, and prolific hacker [Tom Stanton] puts them together with this supercapacitor plane.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because [Tom] did this before back in 2023. But for that first attempt he converted a commercial R/C toy rather than a plane optimized for low-power free flight. Just like with the best rubber-band machines, his goal for the new production is more flight time than...

Les processeurs Core Series 3 d'Intel sont en vente, et ce qui est intéressant ici, c'est moins les specs que l'endroit où ils sont fabriqués.
Ces puces sortent des usines Intel de Hillsboro (Oregon) et Chandler (Arizona), sur le procédé 18A, l'équivalent du 2 nm chez Intel. Pas de TSMC dans la boucle. En 2024, une bonne partie des processeurs Intel pour PC portables était encore gravée chez le fondeur taiwanais. Ce n'est plus le cas.
Côté technique, on est sur de l'entrée de gamme assumée. 6 coeurs (2 performance Cougar Cove + 4 basse consommation Darkmont), 2 coeurs GPU Xe3, un NPU à 17 TOPS et une prise en charge mémoire en simple canal. Du budget pas cher donc.

“Nearly 20 million measles-related deaths have been averted in Africa since 2000 thanks to increasing vaccination coverage, according to the first-ever detailed analysis of immunization targets on the continent.  The analysis, by World Health Organization (WHO) in the African region, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, also found that alongside the 19.5 million measles deaths averted, more than 500 million children in Africa have been protected through routine immunization between 2000 and 2024.” From World Health Organization.

“Dutch regulators approved the use of Tesla’s self-driving software with required human supervision on highways and city streets in a European first for the electric car maker, which hopes to see similar action from the rest of the European Union. The Netherlands’ approval for the technology, called Full Self‑Driving Supervised, which can steer, brake and accelerate a car, follows more than 18 months of tests and analysis by the Dutch vehicle authority RDW. ‘Proper use of this driver assistance system makes a positive contribution to road safety,’ RDW said in a statement on Friday, adding that it would also submit an application for the technology to be used throughout the EU.” From Reuters.

“D.C.’s years-late report on how to implement robotaxis is expected this summer. Why it matters: The D.C. Council is holding up a bill that would green-light robotaxis like Waymo until the study is finished. Driving the news: Amid D.C.’s stalled robotaxi rollout, DDOT published on Wednesday a different report — a research study about how other cities have adopted autonomous vehicles. Yes, but: The report comes with a disclaimer — ‘much of this work was completed between July 2024 and December 2024,’ before Waymo began rolling out in more and more U.S. cities. It’s unclear why D.C. took this long to release the report.  As for the implementation report: ‘We expect there to be a full report...

“Tropic, the pioneering agricultural biotechnology company, has secured regulatory approval in both Japan and Brazil for its world first non‑browning banana variety, unlocking two of the most important fresh‑produce markets globally and marking a significant milestone in the future of sustainable fruit production.

“For robots to be truly helpful in our daily lives and industries, they must do more than follow instructions, they must reason about the physical world. From navigating a complex facility to interpreting the needle on a pressure gauge, a robot’s “embodied reasoning” is what allows it to bridge the gap between digital intelligence and physical action. Today, we’re introducing Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, a significant upgrade to our reasoning-first model that enables robots to understand their environments with unprecedented precision. By enhancing spatial reasoning and multi-view understanding, we are bringing a new level of autonomy to the next generation of physical agents. This model specializes in...
