Tony Bravo July 20, 2021Updated: July 20, 2021, 4:37 pm Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and space tourism company Blue Origin, exits the Blue Origin’s New Shepard capsule after it parachuted safely down to the launch area near Van Horn, Texas, Tuesday, July 20. Photo: Associated Press When I saw Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man, giving a return-to-earth press conference after his maiden space voyage in a blue flight suit and dusty-hued, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, I laughed out loud. Why is it that whenever an obscenely wealthy dude needs to demonstrate his pioneering spirit, and/or connection to the “common” man, he reaches for that particular accessory?
Veloretti’s first electric bikes are automatic and gorgeous Vintage cool and high tech as hell Share this story It’s not very often that a notable new electric bike brand emerges from Amsterdam, the bicycling capital of the world. The last time was when VanMoof launched the Electrified S back in 2016. So it’s with particular interest that I’ve been following the launch of the Veloretti Ivy and Ace e-bikes that begin mass production today. And I’m not alone in my anticipation as their first electrics begin shipping to customers. “We’re quite overwhelmed with interest in the e-bikes.

The switch in question controls Philips Hue lights, nothing else. It won't control your standard light bulbs. It's expensive. To use it you need to dig around in your house wiring. Strictly speaking that's a job you should leave to a qualified tradesperson. .
32Shares Assistants aren’t perfect. Sometimes they get your coffee wrong, or schedule an appointment on the wrong date. But what about digital voice-activated ones? Well… Siri kind of slipped up for Apple, according to MacRumors.

ADVERTISEMENT The publication said that it simply asked Siri “When is the next Apple Event?”, to which it responded with “The special event is on Tuesday, April 20th, at Apple Park in Cupertino, CA.” Not realising its mistake, Siri continued with “You can get all the details on Apple.com“. Clicking the link will take you to Apple’s event landing page but the event itself has not been listed yet, MacRumors added.
Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge With all the mental burdens that came with living in 2020 including gyms closing their doors many have found it tough to get in their normal level of exercise. Here at The Verge, we coped with this as you might expect: with tech that could enable or motivate us to get some activity in. These are the gadgets, apps, games, and services we used to work up a sweat while still staying safe, and which might prove useful if your New Year’s resolution involves exercise. Beat Saber I named Beat Saber my favorite game of 2018, but I lapsed hard since, until Oculus released the Quest 2 in October. It’s the first VR headset I like wearing, and I used SideQuest to add bootleg custom tracks that support my embarrassingly narrow musical taste, turning my Quest into a nearly single-purpose beat sabering machine. (I probably owe Muse and the New Pornographers royalties or something? Look, I just really like the unofficial Expert beatmap of “The Mary Martin Show.”) Pro: I remember I have a body again. Con: I get OK Go stuck in my head every morning.
