Lyft will let users in Atlanta catch robotaxi rides starting this summer, as reported by NBC News.“Atlanta riders will have the opportunity to be matched with a fleet of autonomous Toyota Sienna minivans equipped with May Mobility’s autonomous technology, a deployment that Lyft and May Mobility aim to scale over time across multiple markets,” Lyft spokesperson CJ Macklin tells The Verge.Macklin said the company plans to bring autonomous vehicles to Dallas next year using Marubeni cars outfitted with Mobileye technology and that “thousands of vehicles and more cities” will follow.Lyft announced its partnerships with May Mobility and Intel-owned Mobileye in November, when it indicated its intention to launch the autonomous, May Mobility-powered cars sometime in 2025. Lyft announced its partnership with Marubeni in February.Earlier this month, Alphabet-owned Waymo, which also once partnered with Lyft, announced it would be offering 24 / 7 robotaxi rides in Silicon Valley.

Nvidia's RTX 5080 arrived with a thud. Offering only a marginal performance improvement over the previous generation, and selling out within minutes of releasing, it's been hard to justify spending up for Nvidia's second in command. Thankfully, the list of the best graphics cards is long, and there are some excellent RTX 5080 alternatives to keep in mind.

Gaming handhelds have transformed the way we experience games on the go. Devices like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally pack a lot of power into a relatively small package, and with these advancements in retail units like these also comes inspiration in the DIY space. Building your own Steam Deck from scratch certainly isn't for everyone, but there are varying degrees of difficulty to building your own handheld.

Warping is one of the most frustrating issues in 3D printing. It causes prints to peel up from the build plate or distort as layers cool. This problem is pervasive with materials like ABS but can happen with almost any filament under the right conditions. Understanding why warping occurs and how to prevent it will help you get clean, accurate prints every time.

If you're ready for a great new phone, there are tons of top Android options available on the market. However, there aren't a lot of compact phones that are easy to handle and use. So, if you're looking for one, you'll have to stick to a Samsung Galaxy device. The latest Galaxy S25 is a prime example of a compact phone that's powerful and doesn't make you perform finger gymnastics. While the phone is excellent, it is, at the end of the day, a glass sandwich that's rather easy to shatter.

Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr said companies looking for regulatory approval should “get busy ending any sort of their invidious forms of DEI discrimination,” according to an interview with Bloomberg. Carr reportedly brought up Paramount’s merger with Skydance, Verizon’s purchase of Frontier Communications, and T-Mobile’s plans to acquire most of US Cellular as potential deals that could be affected.Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI, has become a target of President Donald Trump’s administration, with various federal agencies ending diversity programs and pressuring major companies to do the same.“We can only under the statute move forward and approve a transaction if we find that doing so serves the public interest,” Carr told Bloomberg. “If there’s businesses out there that are still promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination, I really don’t see a path forward where the FCC could reach the conclusion that approving the transaction is going to be in the public interest.”In February, Carr announced an investigation into the DEI-related initiatives at Comcast. He later sent a letter to Verizon to express concerns over its “apparent lack of progress” in ending DEI efforts, and asked the company’s executives to contact the FCC officials overseeing its acquisition of Frontier, as reported by Bloomberg.Along with taking action against companies with DEI policies, Carr announced a “sweeping investigation” into the US operations of China-based companies previously placed on the FCC’s “Covered List,” such as Huawei, ZTE, and China Telecom. The FCC will look into each company’s “current levels of operations” in the US, as Carr says the FCC has “reason to believe… some or all of these Covered List entities are trying to make an end run around those FCC prohibitions by continuing to do business in America on a private or ‘unregulated’ basis.”Disclosure: Comcast is also an investor in Vox Media, The Verge’s parent company.

Aside from cutscenes, most of Mythic Quest takes place in the real world. But Apple’s upcoming spinoff series Side Quest will give us a much better look at what the game looks like from within.While some of Side Quest’s four episodes focus on people’s lives outside of and away from Mythic Quest, the final episode, titled “The Last Raid,” takes place within the fictional MMORPG and follows high schoolers Devon (Van Crosby), Kelly (Melanie Brook), Rory (Alice Wen), Seth (David Andrew Calvillo), and Freddie (Justin Jarzombek) setting out to fight powerful bosses. In this exclusive clip from the episode, the kids have been playing Mythic Quest for years and made an annual tradition of taking on big raids to commemorate becoming friends in the game.“The Last Raid” makes Mythic Quest (the game) look a bit like a dated World of Warcraft clone compared to cutscenes from Mythic Quest’s (the series) more recent seasons. But the episode, and the rest of Side Quest, may offer a better sense of what keeps players returning to Mythic Quest.The entire season hits Apple TV Plus on March 26th.

At this stage, you probably have an SSD in your PC. SSDs are significantly faster than HDDs, and they come in many different formats. You can get an M2 or a SATA SSD, and one M2 SSD can use a different generation of PCIe technology to another. If you have an SSD already, is it actually worth upgrading to just get a faster SSD?

While you can make anything you can imagine with a Raspberry Pi, we do often see people revisit the same concept with a different take. One such concept is the handheld gaming console, which we've seen tons of Raspberry Pi projects make their own take on. However, have you ever seen a console so small that it can fit inside an Altoids tin? That's exactly what the charmingly-named Pi Tin can do.

The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is one of the best Pixel phones we've ever laid hands on, and that's saying something. Released late last year, the Pixel 9 Pro XL truly shines with its stunning 6.8-inch Super Actua touchscreen. The phone's overall design is also gorgeous and offers some great color options. Being a flagship smartphone, you'll likely need to part with a hefty chunk of change to buy a Pixel 9 Pro XL, so I definitely suggest buying a case to protect this pricey device from costly damage. There are a ton of great cases available in different designs, colors, and sizes. Here are our top recommendations.

Kyle Paul’s ‘fake wall’ test. | Image: Kyle Paul (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KyIWpAevNs">YouTube</a>)Someone has responded to YouTuber Mark Rober’s Tesla fake wall test with a video that also tries to address the question of whether the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) features would detect a Wile E. Coyote-style road obstruction in the real world. Creator Kyle Paul posted his video Thursday and included two Teslas with FSD: a Model Y equipped with a HW3 computer and a Cybertruck that comes with the latest HW4 / AI4 system and cameras, Not a Tesla App reports.In the original video, Rober, an engineer who went viral after his package thief glitter bombs videos, tested whether Tesla’s camera-based Full Self-Driving (FSD) system can automatically stop before plowing through a wall painted as a road stretching into the horizon. It didn’t, people raised (many) questions, and we tried to answer a few of them.In Paul’s video, the Tesla Model Y with confirmed FSD (in this case, version 12.5.4.2) didn’t fare better than Rober’s — he had to manually stop the vehicle before it crashed into the fake wall that, to my human eyes, doesn’t look quite as convincing. Not all is lost for Tesla, though, as Paul’s test of the Cybertruck with FSD version 13.2.8 had a better ending. It detected the wall and slowed down to a complete stop.You can watch both videos for yourself, whether it’s to check the science or just to take note of how many people have the means to build real-world Looney Tunes ACME walls.
