From October this year Samsung will roll out a variety of new paid tiers for access to its SmartThings API, including a $4.99 monthly plan for "non-commercial, individual developers."It won't just be developers that pay the price though. Some more advanced smart home users are likely to fall afoul of the rule change if they directly access the SmartThings API for more flexible smart home controls, or use third-party tools that do the same. "Use of the Home Assistant integration will be affected by their changes and will fall under their new 'personal plans,'" wrote Paulus Schoutsen, founder of open-source smart home platform Home Assistant …Read the full story at The Verge.

Most PC enthusiasts look back at the GTX 1080 Ti favorably. Its legendary reputation was earned over the years that followed, as its successors failed to make a compelling case for an upgrade, and its generous VRAM aged from excess into necessity. Not everyone called it a "legend" in 2017, though. That title was earned later in 2020, when the RTX 20-series owners were busy second-guessing their purchases.

Apple is reportedly skipping the M6 Pro, Max, and Ultra variants in favour of jumping to its M7 chip lineup. | Photo: Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Apple is expected to shake up its usual Mac silicon release strategy, with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reporting that there won't be Pro or Max versions of the upcoming M6 chip. Instead, Apple wants to "fast-track technologies that it originally planned to release later" with the M7 launch next year.The Cupertino company will reportedly only release a base model M6 chip "as early as this year," with the base M7 chip set to launch sometime in the first half of 2027. The M7 Pro and M7 Max are then expected to follow "as early as the end of 2027." That could leave the most powerful Macs in a lurch since Apple's base chips are typically aimed at e …Read the full story at The Verge.

I've been using AI for a very long time, way before the current crop of transformer-based LLMs, and the technology is fascinating to me. But it's only recently that I've had hardware powerful enough to self-host some of the larger models, with enough parameters and tool-calling ability to be useful.

It's Prime Day, and that means a plethora of good tech deals. However, if you are looking to buy a new laptop on sale, there is no reason to spend hours searching. The reason being that there is only one gaming laptop you should consider this Prime Day.

When you encounter problems with smart home devices, you probably think about the router's range, Wi-Fi interference, or hardware limits. It can be surprising to learn that your router's security settings might be acting as the bottleneck. Modern routers have been supporting WPA3 for many years now. Since WPA2 was proven vulnerable to dictionary and brute-force attacks and used a shared password for all devices, it was more secure to use WPA3 to connect to all your devices. While routers and most other devices made the jump to WPA3 with modern Wi-Fi chips, the bulk of smart home devices remain stuck on WPA2. This forces you to use the WPA2/WPA3 Mixed Mode on your router, which often creates handshake failures and connection issues on your older smart home devices. The best fix is to ensure maximum security using WPA3 for your newer devices, while isolating your IoT devices to a separate, WPA2-only network.

Raspberry Pis were once the bastion of cheap hobby hardware, but after recent price hikes, they don't look so affordable anymore. It's a huge shame, but some people have taken it upon themselves to scout out and report any price dips in the market so that people don't break the bank buying a Pi.

Everyone I know in software seems to be using AI coding tools now. I know backend engineers at large SaaS companies, startups, online commerce platforms, telecom companies, and all sorts of other places who I met through my computer science degree. The pattern is almost identical across all of them these days: Claude Code is everywhere, Cursor is common too, and newer agentic IDEs like Kiro are starting to grow. Nobody is really treating these tools like a joke anymore.

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is a singular moment, the kind of massive cultural phenomenon that makes people want to go out and buy a console to play it. It is the preeminent modern example of what's known as a "system seller." There's almost certainly a large audience of people who were waiting to buy a console because all they really play on it is GTA, and they haven't needed to upgrade since GTA V. But there's one big problem: At the same time people are getting excited to finally play GTA, the hardware it runs on is becoming prohibitively expensive.Fans have been waiting for the next Grand Theft Auto for a long time.

We’ve arrived at the final day of Prime Day, which at this point should probably be called “Prime Week.” We’ve found discounts on all manner of gadgets, including TVs, smart home tech, chargers, headphones, and more. Some of the best deals have started selling out at some retailers, so if you’ve been craving a popular upgrade like the AirPods Max 2, time is running low.The good news is that our team is still hard at work, and in addition to the deals that remain in stock, the retailers sometimes save up a few extras for the last day (like this Echo Spot that got a little cheaper). This roundup is our pride and joy; the culmination of over four days of deal hunting by our entire team. We’ve worked tirelessly for the last week and arrived at a list of over 120 discounted items (and growing) that we’re happy to share with you.Of course, our Prime Day coverage spans every category The Verge staff touches, and is a great place to explore the full breadth of discounts we’re able to find on the stuff we’ve tested, regularly use, and love.
