TikTok’s legal troubles in the United States continue. Reuters reported that the state of Texas sued TikTok on Thursday.

Despite the company’s recent decision to abide by the demands of the Brazilian Supreme Court, X still isn’t back online in Brazil — and according to Reuters, that’s at least in part because it paid its fines to the wrong bank. After weeks being banned in Brazil, X in late September named a legal representative…

People who visited Lego’s website on the evening of October 4 were welcomed by a banner with illustrated golden coins bearing the company’s logo, claiming that the “Lego coin” is now officially out. It even promised “secret rewards” to those who’d buy some. But Lego wasn’t truly launching an official cryptocurrency coin, and according to…
Image: Bethesda It’s been a long time coming for Starfield players. Bethesda’s sci-fi take on Skyrim originally launched last summer, and while there have been some updates and improvements since then, it’s taken more than a year for the game to get its first major expansion. This lead-up means there’s a lot riding on Shattered…
Some games look great no matter what platform you play them on, running smoothly as butter and exactly as intended. However, some games truly benefit from the technology that Sony has packed into their big white box, taking full advantage of the powerful tech under the hood. While this naturally applies to PS5 exclusives, some…
A few months ago, Google introduced a new way to search Gmail with the help of its Gemini AI. The feature, called Gmail Q&A, lets you find specific emails and information by asking the Gemini chatbot questions.

Illustration by Laura Normand / The Verge Just over a year ago, Epic Games laid off around 16 percent of its employees. The problem, Epic said, was its own big ideas for the future and just how expensive they were to build. “For a while now, we’ve been spending way more money than we earn,”…
When Tiny Glade came out recently it made anybody who saw it stop and take notice. This game, developed by a small team using their own proprietary graphics engine is stunning.

Scientists have found a trio of stars dancing a high-speed cosmic do-si-do. In fact, the stars’ tempo is so rapid, astronomers have labeled this a new record: Here, a pair of stars orbit each other in less than two Earth days, while a third makes a trip around them in 25 days. Before this discovery,…
NASA’s about to launch a huge spacecraft to a world harboring voluminous seas. Planetary scientists suspect Jupiter’s moon Europa contains an ocean at least twice the size of Earth’s.

Over-the-ear headphones are everyone’s usual go-to solution for blocking out the world. And listen, I get it. You couldn’t pry my Sony WH-1000XM4s out of my cold dead hands. But honestly, as much as I love them, carrying around a clunky pair of headphones when I’m on the go is not ideal. I want a…
“Stunning” doesn’t even begin to cover it, but RaMell Ross’ Nickel Boys is one of those rare Hollywood productions — perhaps alongside this year’s I Saw the TV Glow — that feels aesthetically transformative. A moving film about a violent reform school in 1960s Florida, it adapts Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Nickel Boys…
Nuclear fuel lasts a long time. But not forever. Both Voyager craft, launched in 1977, convert heat produced by the decay of radioactive plutonium-238 into electricity. Over the decades, NASA engineers have strategically shut off instruments to extend the life of Voyager 1 and 2, which are respectively well over 15 and 12 billion miles…
