Former FCC officials want to force a vote on the ‘weapon’ Brendan Carr has invoked against broadcasters

-
Image
Several former Federal Communications Commissioners and staffers across parties are urging a federal appeals court to force a vote on the FCC's news distortion policy, which they argue should be repealed after being abused by Republican Chair Brendan Carr. On Tuesday, a group of petitioners asked the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to require the FCC to vote on a petition to repeal the News Distortion Policy. The petition was filed by the bipartisan group of former officials in November of 2025, after Carr invoked the rule to pressure ABC into temporarily suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel. But only the agency chair can bring … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/policy/919536/former-fcc-officials-brendan-car-news-distortion-policy

This touchscreen mouse is my over-engineering nightmare

-
Image
Who’s asking for this? | Image: Turtle Beach Turtle Beach's latest collection of PC peripherals are so focused around touchscreen displays that the company even slapped one on a gaming mouse. The $160 wireless Command Series MC7 features a 2.25-inch touch display bar on the left side of the mouse, which seems to be located in just the right position for users to worry about accidentally hitting it with their thumbs. The display bar is designed to function like a built-in Stream Deck , allowing users to assign customizable commands for macros, apps, and OBS controls. It also brings to mind the infamous MacBook Pro Touch Bar , which was easy to accidentally hit while typing until the feat … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/918919/turtle-beach-mc7-gaming-mouse-touchscreen-command-series

Google’s new gradient icon design is coming to more apps

-
Image
In late 2025, Google started rolling out new icons with a gradient design. Now it seems the new look is coming to the rest of Google's apps. 9to5Google got its hands on images of the new icons that ditch the uniform circle design that tries to cram in every color of the Google logo. In general, the looks are softer. Corners are rounder, the gradients gently transition from almost pastel to the more saturated Google primary colors. We've already seen this new design language show in updated versions of the Google G logo , as well as Gemini, Photos, and Maps. According to 9to5, this represents the presence of AI-powered features. The new ico … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/tech/918852/googles-new-gradient-icon-design-is-coming-to-more-apps

Tomora’s Come Closer is an ecstatic love letter to 90s dance music

-
Image
Before Coachella, Tomora wasn't on my radar at all. It's actually only by chance that I stumbled upon them - I opened the wrong stream because my TV was lagging like a MFer. I paused for a few moments, entranced by the two ethereal Nordic women banging on giant drums to a techno beat. I made a mental note to check them out the following weekend, because Drain was the priority (especially since the Sonora stage wasn't streaming on weekend two). It was only later that I would find out that Tomora is a collaboration between Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora and Tom Rowlands, one-half of the Chemical Brothers. Suffice it to say, they were incr … Read the full story at The Verge. source https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/918826/tomora-come-closer-review-90s-dance-music
