A few more Verge-approved deals
JBL’s Charge 6 Bluetooth speaker is on sale in gray for $79.95 ($70 off) at Woot with a 90-day warranty, which is its best price to date. The speaker is rugged, with an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, plus it can double as a power bank, making it a great companion for outdoor adventures. It can last up to 28 hours on a single charge, and delivers good sound quality via Bluetooth. The Charge 6 supports lossless audio playback over USB-C.
The Moto Tag is on sale for $19.99 ($10 off) at Amazon, which matches its all-time low and is the best price we’ve seen since February. The excellent Bluetooth tracker works with Google’s Find Hub network and stands out from other Android-friendly alternatives by offering ultra-wideband support. On compatible phones like Samsung’s Galaxy S26, that means it can help you track down misplaced items with precise, turn-by-turn-style guidance, similar to Apple’s AirTag.
The Keurig K-Elite Single Serve Coffee Maker is down to just $99.99 (about $110 off) with code HAPPYDAD at Keurig, which is its best price of the year and $10 shy of its all-time low. The machine can brew five cup sizes from four to twelve ounces and features an iced coffee setting that starts with a hotter brew to extract more flavor from the K-Cup before cooling things down so as to not melt your ice completely. It also comes with a large 75-ounce water reservoir allowing you to make up to eight cups before having to refill, along with an on-demand hot water function for tea and oatmeal.

I gave a local LLM access to my Docker containers, and it replaced my monitoring scripts
Every homelabber follows a similar pattern. You start with a few containers, then you add monitoring, and then you add more monitoring.

Every homelabber follows a similar pattern. You start with a few containers, then you add monitoring, and then you add more monitoring. Eventually, you start writing scripts to check things automatically. I did the same and went further, adding cloud LLMs like Claude to analyze and report. But each time, after a few days, when the cost, privacy trade-offs, and external dependency didn't sit right with my self-hosting approach, I removed it and got back to the basic monitoring dashboards to hunt for everything. Service status — Uptime Kuma, container state — Portainer, resource monitoring — Beszel.

Nothing Phone 4A Pro | Photo: Dominic Preston / The Verge If you're thinking about upgrading your phone, "the best time was yesterday," according to Nothing CEO and co-founder Carl Pei, echoing a message we heard during MWC. As Android Authority reports, Pei said in a post on X that the RAM shortage has already impacted Nothing's less expensive mid-range phone: "For Phone 4A , memory costs doubled between when we decided to build the device and when it launched. They've doubled again since." He warned that "Phone prices are going up, and they'll keep going up into next year." Pei says RAM can now account for over 50 percent of the cost of a new phone. Nothing's just the latest phone maker to warn …Read the full story at The Verge.

Hm! | Photo: Kristen Radtke / The Verge; Getty Images Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet. And while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk's actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse - gleefully.This is not a serious person, but his abuse of the world is deadly serious. In the first months of President Donald Trump's second term, the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) destroyed the US Agency for International Development, whose mission was a boon to public health around the globe.

These 4 tiny Docker containers do the boring work that makes homelabs actually reliable
When people talk about self-hosting, it's usually around media servers, photo backups, and cloud storage replacements. And I agree, those are important, and that’s why I built my own home server in the first place.

Rather than spending money each month on a popular tool, you can use a self-hosted alternative because of multiple advantages.

Linux has never been a mainstream option when it comes to operating systems, but the platform has been experiencing something of a surge in recent years, thanks in big part to the Steam Deck, which propped up Linux as a great platform for PC gaming. And things have been building up more and more, but Linux is still not a big enough platform to earn mainstream support from developers and publishers.

Technology changes extremely quickly, and AI is certainly no exception. NotebookLM, however, has always felt like a bit of an outlier here (and I say this in the best possible way). It's a tool that got upgrades here and there, sure, but it remained largely unchanged at its core for a long while. We were anticipating significant upgrades at I/O 2026, but the company decided not to bring it up by name at all (well, it did get a slight mention at the very end, tied to some Gemini/science announcement).

Your 3D prints are failing because you’re using the wrong material, and PLA is the culprit

Every standalone desktop 3D printer shipped today promises the same unwritten joys of manufacturing anything you can design, in any material, straight from a spool of plastic. Yet for sheer cost efficiency and other inexplicable reasons, you'll only see a roll of Polylactic Acid or PLA shipped as the trial filament with most new printers. It is affordable, odorless, and behaves beautifully on a bare glass bed without generating toxic fumes. The ease of use has made it a universal default for print after print based on the dangerously incorrect assumption that if it looks solid on the build plate, the print will perform well in real-world conditions.

I’d rather overspend on these boring PC parts than regret them later

Many of us, while allocating our budget for a new build, tend to focus on the parts that directly affect performance. It's easy to convince ourselves to spend more on a faster GPU, CPU, or even RAM because we can actually see the difference when monitoring our frame rates in MSI Afterburner. I'm not against this approach, but it usually results in cutting corners on other components that give you peace of mind in the long run.
