As Comics Beat points out, 100 or so employees had until today to decide if they’ll move with the company out of New York City to Burbank, CA, the home of Marvel Studios and Disney.

Yesterday I wrote about the gigantic new Elon Musk documentary that comes out next month. If you can’t wait to sit in a theater for four hours to watch it, there’s good news, as the premiere date has been moved up a week to October 9th.

Two boat manufacturers, Crest Marine and Balise Pontoons (both owned by MasterCraft Boat Holdings), announced today their plans to enable smartphone projection in their upcoming models in 2027. The boats will feature a seven-inch “marine touchscreen” that will display CarPlay or Android Auto alongside marine-specific technology. The manufacturers are also working with marine navigation app Savvy Navvy to offer access to nautical charts, smart routing, GPS tracking, live weather, and tidal data — all displayed on the same screen as other apps. Avast!

Now the “Pause Point” option Google launched on the Pixel 11 is rolling out to more devices, across Android 17 QPR1, and for Pixel hardware going back to the Pixel 6. The new Android 17 update also increases the use of background blur and adds a new Quick Settings tile that points to your notes app, among other updates.

The popular streaming guide is launching its own streaming service, JustWatch TV, offering paid and ad-supported streaming and rentals. Users will be able to watch included shows and movies directly on its app and website, or through connected streaming services, which keep getting pricier.

First there was Squid Game: The Challenge, then there was Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket, and now Netflix is turning Stanford professor Philip Zimbardo’s highly unethical prison experiment into yet another deranged reality series.

If you’ve been waiting to rewatch Project Hail Mary and the modern Doctor Who seasons like I have, this new bundle could make it a little less expensive even as prices for individual services keep climbing. It’s one of the biggest bundles on Prime Video, including all five streaming services for $29.99 per month.

I have always believed that if you take a call on speaker, in public, I am allowed to participate. You made it a group call, I’m gonna weigh in! The Journal discovered that blaring your phone’s audio for the world to hear — also known as “loudcasting” — is a big and growing problem. I’m all for fining and shaming perpetrators, but this is simple. Just wear headphones! EarPods are the best $20 you’ll ever spend, for both your audio quality and my sanity.

It’s no surprise that there will be plenty of music in Grand Theft Auto VI’s in-game radio stations, but now we have an idea of who exactly will be featured. Kotaku has compiled a list of artists — ranging from Keith Richards to Yung Lean — who have started teasing their participation.

AI commentary is frothy this week! Obama chimed in with a series of posts on X saying he’s neither an AI “accelerationist” nor a “doomer.” In a familiar tone from the former president, he cautioned that choices we make about technology “should not be made just by the companies involved, but by all of us.”

I was dismayed to discover only 9% of US adults answered all eight questions correctly in the Pew Research Center’s basic quiz on the First Amendment. How well can you do? Hint: it’s a leash on government restriction of speech. With that, I’m sure you’ll score better than Brendan Carr.

A new settings toggle rolling out starting today excludes kids and family music from your taste profile and recommendations. With it turned on, your kids can listen to their music on repeat without it taking over your Spotify Wrapped, Discover Weekly, and Daily Mix.

I saw the upcoming S30 Mini at IFA last week, and my bathroom floors are excited. SwitchBot’s line of mini robot vacuums is great for smaller spaces like apartments, home offices, or bedrooms, but none have full mopping capabilities — until now. The S30 Mini adds a roller mop to the 11-inch-wide vacuum, and it looks like a good solution for small bathrooms. There’s no price or release date yet.

Following the LG StanbyME and Samsung Movingstyle, Hisense is the latest company to debut a TV on a wheeled pedestal. The $1,200 RoamView pairs a 32-inch, 4K, camera-equipped touchscreen with a 10-hour battery, wireless connectivity, Android OS, and an included easel for using the display on a desk.

Apple’s including both in the $0.99/month 50GB iCloud Plus subscription “at no extra cost.” Users in the US and other regions that aren’t on the list will need a pricier Apple One subscription to get a bundle with those services.

Over the next two years, the funding will go toward improving AI access in education, healthcare, and agriculture, and adding to AI’s “digital foundation.” That includes priorities like creating AI datasets in more languages and making access to AI more affordable.

There are some disappointing parts of Insomniac’s take on Wolverine — the flat narrative, the dull exploration — but if you’re in the mood for some pure superhero action, it definitely delivers. The game is out today on the PS5 and you can check out my full thoughts below.

The robotaxi company is partnering with taxi operator Nihon Kotsu and ride hailing app GO to offer on demand, 24/7 self-driving rides through both the Waymo and GO apps in 2027. Waymo has been testing its vehicles in Tokyo since 2025, but this is the first time it’s put an official date on the launch of its commercial robotaxi service. The company is eyeing additional overseas markets, including London and Munich.

Prime Big Deal Days is its annual October sale, and this year it’s running from October 6th at 3:01am ET through the 7th at the same time. New deals will arrive three times daily, and we’ll be covering the event closely, highlighting the best discounts on products that Verge readers care about.

They say the best camera is the one you have with you, but that might not apply if you’re fastidious about oral care and only have Dyson’s new camera-equipped toothbrush in your back pocket. As the street photographer behind the allthegearnoskill Instagram account discovered, the CameraJet’s camera’s capabilities are optimized for inside your mouth, not the outside world.

Apple cleaned up on stage at last night’s Emmy Awards with big wins for Pluribus and Widow’s Bay. But new CEO John Ternus might have been even more excited about getting to show off the iPhone Duo.

Nearly three months after the MagSafe version of its new 2.6mm thick Low-Pro grip launched, PopSockets is introducing a new version built into a protective case. The $59.99 Low‑Pro Case offers the same functionality including a fold-out, rotating stand, but is only compatible with iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 Pro and Max models.

Not all of KitchenAid’s mixer upgrades focus on functionality. Like the walnut stand mixer that launched in 2024, KitchenAid’s new $699.99 Design Series Luminaire Stand Mixer prioritizes aesthetics with a new blue peppercorn colorway and a fluted glass bowl illuminated from below that casts glowing patterns on kitchen workspaces.

It’s the first official confirmation, delivered by Air Force Secretary Troy E. Meink:

Apple just answered the question we raised in June by taking home 28 (plus one for an ad) Emmy awards, the most of any studio. It’s the first time Apple has come out on top thanks to its focus on tentpole titles like Pluribus and Widow’s Bay that created cultural moments this year.

Common Sense Media says the search alternative is just as bad as Google for kids, and largely treats minors as adults. It earned the Youth AI Safety Institute’s lowest rating after failing four out of five severe-harm Red Lines and doing poorly on all eight of its AI Principles. Examples cited include discussing pornography and engaging in romantic roleplay with accounts identified as minors, and often doing their homework despite being set to Academic mode.

Motion Assist is similar to Apple’s Motion Cues, displaying moving dots that track a vehicle’s movement and help reduce motion sickness in the process. It rolled out for Pixel phones last month, but Google’s Mishaal Rahman says it’s now generally available in Android 17.

It packs Arm’s new G2-Ultra NX GPU, supports 4K at 240fps slow-motion video, and has two NPUs for more (and more efficient) AI processing. Its joined by a 9600M chip for cheaper models. Oppo has already said its Find X10 Pro Max will use the 9600 Pro, as will Vivo’s X500 Pro.
