Image: The Verge Following last month’s test, Threads will now let everyone schedule posts, Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Thursday. You can use the feature by creating a new post, selecting the three-dot menu in the top-left corner, and selecting “Schedule.”Once you get your post timed up, you can view, delete, or edit it from your drafts folder. Threads will let you schedule your posts up to 75 days in advance, but it won’t allow you to schedule replies. Screenshot: The Verge Mosseri also said that Threads is adding a way to “markup” a post you’re resharing. Based on early versions of the feature shared by users, it looks like it will let you draw over, highlight, or add arrows to an existing post. This feature is rolling out to a “few countries with more to come soon.”There are some big changes in store for Threads, which will also trade fact-checking for Community Notes as part of Meta’s broader moderation shift. The X competitor will start adding political content to recommendations as well.

Tesla brings its redesigned Model Y to the US, but keeps selling the old one too

The New Tesla Model Y | Image: Tesla Just a couple weeks after launching the refreshed “Juniper” Model Y in China and other Asia-Pacific markets, Tesla has started taking orders in the Americas (US, Canada, Mexico, and Chile) and Europe. The Launch Series is the only trim level currently available to order in the US, offering a “fully loaded” setup with special badging, the Full Self-Driving (Supervised) driver assist, and Acceleration Boost for $59,990 before discounts and estimated savings. The refreshed version of Tesla’s top-selling vehicle brings a new design for the front and rear lights, an updated interior with an 8-inch touchscreen for the backseat, acoustic glass treatment, a new sound system with more speakers, and a retuned suspension. There’s no mention of it, but in a few of the pictures (included in our gallery below), it looks like there’s also a turn signal stalk poking out to the left of the steering wheel instead of dropping it for on-wheel buttons like other recent Teslas.Meanwhile, there are other issues affecting Tesla’s brand reputation among buyers, and it recently reported its first year-over-year drop in sales that a new lighting setup might not be enough to address.It also has the same new front-facing camera that Tesla says adds “Enhanced visibility for Autopilot and Actually Smart Summon capabilities.”Just like the previously announced markets, it is scheduled to start deliveries in March. It’s all similar to last year’s Model 3 update, promising better efficiency and performance, with added power-folding rear seats and a hands-free trunk that auto unlocks on approach. Screenshot: Tesla.com An estimated price listing for a New Model Y (left) and current Model Y (right) from Tesla’s website with similar specs. One difference between this and most Tesla launches we’ve seen is that the older version is still available to order, with the website inviting buyers to take advantage of reduced pricing while it’s still available. From the configurations available online, the price difference between similarly-specced Long Range dual-motor AWD Model Ys new and old was only about $4,000.The current edition is, of course, available right away, and with choices for additional options, like the performance package., additional colors, or a seven-seat configuration. The New Model Y advertises a 320-mile range with no EPA stamp compared to the old version’s 311 EPA estimate (until last year, the advertised range was 330 miles before Tesla suddenly lowered it) for a similar model. The advertised 0-60 mph time is also improved, at 4.1 seconds instead of 4.8, but the top speed allowed has dropped from 135 mph to 125, which probably won’t be much of an issue in a family hauler.

Intel may be losing the CPU fight, but it could win the GPU war

If you were to tell me that Intel would be killing it in the GPU space a year ago, I would be hesitant to believe you. The first-gen A-series GPUs were good but not mind-blowing and Intel didn't have many answers for AMD or Nvidia yet. Fast-forward a couple of...
If you were to tell me that Intel would be killing it in the GPU space a year ago, I would be hesitant to believe you. The first-gen A-series GPUs were good but not mind-blowing and Intel didn't have many answers for AMD or Nvidia yet. Fast-forward a couple of years and with countless firmware revisions under its belt, Intel launched Battlemage in late 2024. The Intel Arc B580 and Arc B570 are already available and appear to be selling well. This is great news for the company and the wider community who have had to endure the result of a duopoly lasting decades. Although Intel may be losing the CPU fight, it's making strides in the GPU space.

There are a lot of great gaming laptops out there, but this one from MSI has to be one of the most complete packages that we've seen in quite some time. Not only does it feature a fantastic processor and high-end graphics card, but it also delivers the visuals thanks to its large 18-inch screen. With that said, this laptop isn't going to be for everyone, especially with its $3,300 price tag.

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Netflix plans to offer couch co-op and party games that it will stream over the cloud to TVs, co-CEO Greg Peters said as part of the company’s Q4 2024 earnings announcements this week. The company has offered cloud gaming as a beta to a “subset” of subscribers since 2023, so this news from Peters indicates that the company is going to continue to invest in it.Peters didn’t say exactly when the co-op and party games might be available. But he did say that “we think of this as a successor to family board game night or an evolution of what the game show on TV used to be.”Netflix will also continue to focus on “more narrative games based on Netflix IP” — Peters says those games are “consistent fan favorites and we’ve got a lot in the library to work with there.”The company’s gaming division has seen some major changes as of late: former executive Leanne Loombe announced she was moving to Annapurna Interactive, and last year, the group got a new boss after the old boss moved to a new role focused on generative AI in games. Netflix also announced that it would be removing nearly all of its interactive titles and that it would be closing its AAA studio before it ever released a game.

Sony’s next flagship noise-canceling headphones might be close to launch

The WH-1000XM5s launched almost three years ago. | Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge It’s been three long years since Sony launched its flagship WH-1000XM5 headphones, our pick for the best wireless headphones for most people, so we’re due a follow-up — and a regulatory filing indicates that the XM6 cans might nearly be ready to launch. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) filing hints at a slight redesign, including a new hinge and what appear to be detachable earpads.The Walkman Blog first spotted the filing, which includes a product diagram showing off some of the details of the right earcup. Most interestingly, the diagram shows the earpad lifting off to reveal the location of the “user-visible name plate” containing the model and serial numbers. Since the FCC requires this name plate be accessible to users, it seems likely that the pad is attached without screws, though we don’t know if that’s with clips, magnets, or something else. The XM5s hid their FCC details under the inner edge of the pads instead, which were not removable. Image: Sony Sony’s FCC filing suggests that its upcoming headphones might have a removable earpad. Otherwise there’s not too much to glean from the filing. The headphones’ hinge looks slightly different from the previous generation’s, though there’s no reason yet to believe that means a return to the folding design of the XM4s. The Bluetooth version is reported to be 5.3, and there are some details on the antenna and power specs, but nothing to suggest how the headphones will look or sound.The FCC filing doesn’t name these as the XM6 headphones, but the model numbers seem to give it away. These headphones have the model number YY2984, remarkably similar to the XM5s’ YY2954 designation. The only note of caution is that the tested model is marked as a prototype, rather than a pre-production or mass production unit, so some details may change before release.The FCC filing includes a “short-term confidentiality” request dated to end on July 22nd 2025, which certainly suggests that we’ll get an official reveal before that date. The XM5s launched in May 2022, so we may be due another spring release.

You've likely seen the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D touted as the best gaming CPU ahead of its launch and published reviews, but why is this the case, and what makes AMD's 3D V-Cache so important for gaming? It's all about that thick cache stack, which allows the processor to store more data on the chip before moving to slower system memory. There are other benefits of an AMD X3D processor, which makes most of them far superior for playing all your PC games.
