They start in the middle like you're watching a live broadcast.The Tiny TV 2 keeps track of how much time you've been watching. And whenever you change the channel, it starts the next video at the same time stamp so you can channel surf like a pro. It even comes with its own tiny IR remote, a tiny 2-hour battery, and 8 gigs of s ...

Available today for $399, this custom Meta Quest 3S has the Xbox green and carbon black styling of Microsoft consoles in the form of a VR headset.

They were like kind of like ...

Dom, what did the Trump organization actually launch this week. So, there's two parts to this.There's a network Trump mobile uh which is offering a single plan called the 47 plan. They are an MVNOS.

Ever use a Nintendo Switch to check your teeth before a date. Or find your kids lost toys under the couch. Today I'm toying with a springy snake light camera that can do those things.A USB endoscope. This one's an utterly cheap $10 model I bought off Amazon. One that just so happens to work with the Nintendo Switch 2's webcam feature or your Android phone.Its sensor and light just aren't strong enough to say see my dishwasher at work. But it's good enough to inspect my walls, check the connectors behind my ...

Starting a wireless carrier is easier than you might think. So is building a half-decent Android phone! But doing all the things Trump Mobile promises, at the price and on the schedule it says, seems awfully close to impossible. While Nilay's out, David and Jake chat with The Verge's Dominic Preston about what we know about Trump Mobile and the T1 Phone, why everyone wants to be a wireless carrier, and what it would actually take for this to work out. After that, David and Jake talk through some big news in ...
