Woot is offering $50 off the Switch OLED just in time for the new Zelda

Just in time for the release of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on September 26th, Woot is selling the Nintendo Switch OLED for $299.99 ($50 off) with either white or neon red and blue Joy-Con controllers. That’s $10 shy of the console’s best price to date, and a deal that will last through 1AM ET on September 29th or while supplies last.Nintendo could announce a new Nintendo Switch any day now, one that is expected to sport a larger, eight-inch screen and more horsepower.

Mercedes dials up the speed of its hands-free, eyes-off Drive Pilot feature

Drive Pilot, Mercedes-Benz’s Level 3 “conditionally automated driving” feature, is getting a speed bump. The system will now support speeds of up to 95km/h (59mph) on German motorways, a sign that the automaker is feeling bullish about its boundary-pushing technology. Mercedes is still waiting for approval from German regulators before pushing out a software update to customers of vehicles that support Drive Pilot. But once that happens, the company boasts that it will have “the world’s fastest Level 3 system in a series-production vehicle.”Drive Pilot is similar to “hands-free” highway driving systems like GM’s Super Cruise, Ford’s BlueCruise, and Tesla’s Autopilot in so far that it allows drivers to take their hands off the steering

Jony Ive confirms he’s working on a new device with OpenAI

Jony Ive has confirmed that he’s working with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on an AI hardware project. The confirmation came today as part of a profile of Ive in The New York Times, nearly a year after the possibility of a collaboration between Altman and the longtime Apple designer was first reported on.There aren’t a lot of details on the project. Ive reportedly met Altman through Brian Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb, and the venture is being funded by Ive and the Emerson Collective, Laurene Powell Jobs’ company. The Times reports it could raise $1 billion in funding by the end of the year, but makes no mention of Masayoshi Son, the SoftBank CEO rumored last year to have invested $1 billion in the project.The project only has 10 employees

The chatbot becomes the teacher

Steven Johnson is a very meta author. He writes frequently about science and technology, and likes to immerse himself in the things he’s covering, even using them to change the way he writes books. A couple of years ago, a few months before ChatGPT launched and the AI boom took over the tech world, Johnson got a magazine assignment that sent him really, really deep down the AI rabbit hole. And he never came back up.Now, in addition to writing books, Johnson is also working at Google. He’s part of the team building a product called NotebookLM “Notebook,” as the team calls it. It’s a note-taking and research tool: you upload documents and import web links, and Notebook’s Gemini-powered AI helps you organize things, extract information,

This Panasonic product is literally vaporware — it sprays displays into the air

Ever seen a fish swimming through water droplets in the air? Today, I learned Panasonic has been cleverly repurposing an outdoor air conditioning system to produce effects like that. Here’s a video:Panasonic calls it “Silky Fine Mist,” and the company primarily sells it as a way to beat the heat. The company claims its nozzles use a combination of pressurized water and compressed air to spray mist that’s so fine (six to ?10 microns), it doesn’t feel wet to the touch. Panasonic says the system has been adopted by “train stations and public facilities nationwide” in Japan since its 2019 debut.But like Disney and decades of other projection mapping

X will let people you’ve blocked see your posts

X will now make your posts visible to users you’ve blocked. In a reply on Monday, X owner Elon Musk said the “block function will block that account from engaging with, but not block seeing, public post.”Currently, X displays a “You’re blocked” message when trying to view the profile of a person who’s blocked you. In addition to blocking all posts, it also prevents you from seeing their replies, media, followers, and following list.While a source at X told The Verge that the platform is making this change because people can already view posts from users who’ve blocked them when using another account or when logged out, several of us at The Verge (myself included) have noticed that X actually prevents you from viewing someone’s profile

This week, I’ve been reading about Beyoncé and Rosanna Pansino and Bowen Yang, pouring my life back into Todoist, watching the end of The Grand Tour, catching up on some My Brother, My Brother and Me episodes, seeing if the Pixel Recorder app can replace my trusty voice recorder, and moving Headspace to my homescreen to see if it helps me meditate more. (So far… no.)I also have for you a truly wild new pair of AR glasses, a Batman-adjacent show on HBO, a great new book about the end of Twitter, a funny twist on
