It is $2,899 for a 512 GB of storage smartphone. I can't think of the last time a like ostensibly flagship phone didn't have any reviews before it went on sale. That just doesn't happen anymore.>> Yeah. I mean, obviously the thing has been out in Korea and some creators have certainly like imported Korean units.

But I don't know if Tik Tok can ever get the trust back. I think it will just be conspiracy theories about content moderation from here on out. And I certainly don't think Meta is going to get any of it back given their history, given the fact that Instagram is just a platform for the weirdest slop.Man, I saw sexy Winnie the Pooh just doing the Douggee the other day and I was like, I don't this is making me feel too many feelings. >> I saw a sexy Winnie the Pooh doing a douge is not a sentence I'm going to ...

The Verge· 2026-01-30 18:03
Netflix now has its own exclusive podcasts on its platform. The White House with Michael Irvin and The Pete Davidson Show. But are they actually podcasts.I've created a checklist to determine if they are actually podcasts or if they're just another talk show on Netflix. First, the biggest qualification that podcast enthusiasts stress, does it have an RSS feed. Notably, it does not.You cannot listen to this outside the Netflix app. So, can you listen to only the audio. Technically, yes.So, you really only ne ...

Tim Cook went to a party at the White House for the screening of a documentary about Melania Trump that is the product of naked corruption and then posed for a selfie with a director who has been accused multiple times of being a sex pest. What I see is a Tim Cook who is captured by a variety of political problems tariffs.

What are the events, Tim. My prayers and deepest sympathies are with the families and communities and everyone that's been affected.Who who has been affected.

Snap it to the belt, strap it above the knee, and now I've got a robot fanny pack that lifts my legs.Today I'm toying with the Wii Robotics WH S. I walked for miles in Vegas with it on in convention center hallways, out on the street, even on the show floor itself. Remember when I wore this HyperShell exoskeleton to last year's CES.I like this we way better because I can sit down in cabs and work seated in chairs without a bulging batt ...

I listen to and watch John Stewart's podcast all the time. And it occurred to me relatively recently that I don't experience John Stewart differently when he's sitting on the Daily Show set, which is like beautiful and cared for and he's wearing makeup and it's a whole thing versus his podcast shot, which he's like he's too close to the camera. The camera's not very good.But it's like that's still John Stewart. I don't I don't experience those two people differently. And I think if I'm Netflix or any of the ...
