Cheap stuff that doesn’t suck, take 3
From fancy OLED TVs to robot vacuums with arms, we tend to cover a lot of cool stuff here at The Verge that, unfortunately, often costs as much as a month’s rent (or more). But with the ongoing tariff situation in the US and a global memory shortage pushing up the cost of, well, everything, we’re well aware that not…

How to watch NBA Playoffs 2026: FREE live streams
In the NBA Playoffs 2026 draw, the Thunder and Rockets have won the lottery.

The best cheap phones for 2026
Some of us take a kind of “eat to live” rather than a “live to eat” approach to gadgets. They’re tools that help you get things done, not something you want to invest a lot of time or money in. If that’s you — and there’s no judgment here from a certifiable gadget nerd — then you can probably think…

Minisforum G1 Pro review: The perfect mini PC for ditching your console
The Minisforum G1 Pro isn’t your typical mini PC. Instead, it feels like a true small form factor (SFF) rig thanks to its internal, desktop-grade power supply and its dedicated GPU. We aren’t dealing with a power-limited laptop chip here; instead, you’re getting a low-profile Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060. After seeing the G1 Pro at Computex last summer, I knew…

I just tested this keyboard that’s also a Windows computer — and it’s like a modern Commodore 64
The HP EliteBoard G1a is the most unique computer I’ve tested. That’s because it’s basically like a modern Commodore 64 since it’s both a PC and a keyboard. It’s certainly unusual, but that same unique form factor is what makes it a perfect product for me to talk about. As HP describes it, the EliteBoard G1a is a “complete, desktop-grade…

Prediction market exchanges have created an environment where just about any piece of information is potentially monetizable: How well will BTS’s new song perform this week?

WrestleMania 42 is live on ESPN and Netflix this weekend — here’s who’s going to win
I’ve been watching wrestling for nearly 3 decades, and there are very few things that have followed me from childhood into adulthood like professional wrestling. WrestleMania weekend is the Super Bowl of wrestling, and this year the whole thing is streaming live on ESPN Unlimited in the US and Netflix internationally.

Anthropomorphic sculptures made of fake flowers and neck massagers
Vacuum cleaners, personal massagers, electronic baby rockers, and walking pads: These are the secondhand machines Rachel Youn sources to create their kinetic sculptures. Made with artificial flowers, metal hardware, and these used electronic components, each one possesses a humanlike presence.
