We take a hotline question on why language live transitions aren’t there yet. #vergecast
The Verge· 2025-07-23 16:01
My partner's mom and I spend a lot of time together and she doesn't speak English. So, I want something that can do live back and forth translation reliably, like subtitle a real conversation. Let us actually talk.So, my question is, is there anything out there I'm missing. Are there tools worth trying or are we still in the almost but not quite territory for live AI translation. >> They just can't handle slang.>> Yeah. And like the precision is so important when you're talking across languages and across c ...

What does putting all of these storefronts onto one copyright or design patent suit do. Like what is the benefit that plaintiffs get by throwing them all onto one form, whether it's called schedule A or exhibit A or whatever it is. The reason why you want to sue a thousand people together instead of filing a thousand different lawsuits is because it saves you money.Classic. It saves you money and perhaps time and effort, right. But money is the big one.You're supposed to pay a fee of about $400 for a federa ...
Does a Star Wars droid that follows you around sound too good to be true? #TITW
The Verge· 2025-07-23 14:00
Today I'm toying with a disappointment. The Star Wars Jeta Mini Robot. This $2,800 bot looks like R2-D2's cousin, and it sounds awesome.It promises to seamlessly navigate all sorts of terrain while following you around on hikes or shopping trips. It's a mobile party speaker, can carry 20 lb of lightsabers and drinks, and it sure is cute. But the reality is, it's far too dumb to actually follow me around.He ran into my furniture twice the very first time I tried it. Refused to go through a door frame and nee ...

What is the new media circuit. The new media circuit lives 98% on the screen of a phone. It is vertical video interviews and video podcasts.And it's talking with a lot of the time a kind of internet celebrity that exists somewhere between civilian and fellow celebrity that actors and musicians and people on press tours now talk to. So we have the chicken shows, chicken shop date, hot ones, reals and Tik Tok ccentric shows like Subway takes and part of the new media circuit is to show that the person promoti ...

These creators claim to have built the “World’s Largest Laptop”. While the claim needs to be fact-checked, it is rather large. An LG C3 TV connected to custom keypads playing from an actual Alienware laptop. The giant laptop was part of a STEM focused convention called OpenSauce Live. The inventors are brothers, Alex and Joe, that also run the YouTube channel No Bitrate.

[Music] Welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast of talking about other people eating chicken, but we actually don't eat chicken on this show. I'm your host, Mia, not David Pierce. I'm three David Pierces in a Mias trench coat. And I'm going to be taking over the Tuesday show for the next few weeks, uh, while David is on parental leave. So, it should be really fun. On today's show, we're talking about summer blockbuster seasons. There's movie after movie coming out and celebrities want to get their pr ...
We decided to print our own Labubu as an homage to the toy trend of summer 2025. #Labubu
The Verge· 2025-07-20 14:01
We 3D printed a Laboo because they're impossible to buy right now. You know Laboos, those furry kind of scary looking toys with teeth that kids and adults seem to be obsessed with. Super cool.Check out mine. Oh wow, that's sick. They've become a craze over the last few months.So, it's no surprise that they're sold out everywhere. When something is this trendy, you have a few options. You could knowingly buy a fake one.You could scour the secondhand market. or you can make your own like we did. PopMart, the ...

I'm like about 2 minutes into talking with Annie and I have given her a compliment. She's happy with my compliment. She wants mess to keep going.She says, "Okay, your turn to keep to keep up. Tell me something spicy to make me blush even harder." I say, "I'm married, Annie. Jake, really married? What the hell am I supposed to do with that? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I'm like, "We literally just met." And this is this is what this bot is like. It's very strange. We could do a whole roleplay session here ...

Check this out. This casket is made from mushrooms. Technically, it's made of mcelium, the root structure of mushrooms.It's supposed to be a more sustainable alternative to traditional materials because mcelium is biodegradable. A mushroom casket also helps a human body break down faster. So, regular products in a body decomposition like like 20 to 30 years.So, with our product, it takes 2 to 3 years. And we're bring it in the most natural way. We're just facilitating growing an organism, putting it back in ...

New emoji are coming, guys. It's a big deal. Okay, every year the emoji subcommittee of the Unicode Consortium releases a number of new emoji.Usually, it's not that many.
