Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus review: incredibly iterative Samsung’s Galaxy S-series is in its software era. Maybe the whole smartphone industry is, too, save for a few phones with hinges (Samsung’s included). But overall, we have exited the hardware-driven innovation cycle and are firmly in the midst of a software-based one. If you want proof, the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus are a

This Incredibly Trashed Tesla Roadster Could Be Yours Remember when the first Tesla Roadster was released? Back in the days before EV performance and electric motors in supercars were the norm, the Roadster was this weird out-there thing. Now, though, it seems they’re ending up the way all cars do: As beat-to-hell examples available on Facebook Marketplace with salvage… Read more…

The rise of mobile money has made traveling in sub-Saharan African incredibly difficult I’m currently in Zambia and planning for a long trip throughout Southern Africa. I have gone on trips in Africa years back, but everything seems to have changed. Everyone seems to have ditched normal banking for mobile money through companies like Airtel (which is fair, banking can be a real hassle in the region). However, people have moved so f…

I’m incredibly confused about what to do when exporting my photos from Lightroom Hey guys, So I was wondering if any of you can help me out with a frustrating rookie problem. Did my fist biggish portrait shoot since the pandemic for my friends band, and I finally finished editing them. Only issue I’m running into is what to make the settings for exporting them. Before, I usually just exported as sRGB JPEGS set to 300ppi, qua…

15 incredibly useful Windows 11 keyboard shortcuts Illustration by Samar Haddad / The VergeGetting around Windows 11 is a lot easier if you know a keyboard shortcut or five. You can then speed through tasks and across apps without having to fumble around for the mouse and trackpad (or even take your eyes off the screen). These are some of my favorites that I turn to again and again on a daily ba…

What’s an incredibly sad plot of an episode that’s stayed with you over the years? I remember this CSI episode in which they couldn’t figure out why the victim had so much barely touched take-out food in her fridge. They eventually conclude that she was making the orders just to have something to look forward to. It’s a small thing, but wow. I’ve never shaken how sad a life you must have for things to get that way. I quite lit…

Paying off mortgage early at an incredibly aggressive rate So I grew up really poor and we never had much. Didn’t have a house but a trailer … family moved and now in a better spot years later. I’m (32 M) married to my wife (29 F) for going on 5 years. We had a lot of equity after buying our first house in 2017 and put that equity ($95,000) towards our current house. We paid roughly $470,000 for the cur…

Incredibly gorgeous, visually stunning show recs? I recently finished The White Lotus S2 and while I don’t really get the praise ‘that’ much (in terms of content), it’s goddamn beautiful to look at. I need a show that’s set in a certain place (like TWL s2 took place in Sicily), and maybe even a certain weather that’s as I said, visually stunning. I’ll also mention Euphoria, which is hated by re…

Deadloch’s finale was incredibly satisfying. Really impressed with this show from the start, but I had worried it was going to fumble the landing after setting so much in motion. The last ep is out though, and for me it just sealed the deal, this show came out of almost nowhere to be one of the best of the year, it’s an absolute gem. There’s a lot to be said for figuring out what viewers …
