The answer’s probably nothing, and that feels like the wrong answer. The smart home was supposed to have fixed this by now. On this episode of The Vergecast, we didn’t necessarily set out to talk about smart garage doors for as long as we did, but The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern joined the show with a lot of thoughts about Apple Intelligence, notification summaries, and how we all — and in particular, how Apple’s software leader Craig Federighi — manage their own houses.

Polynesian peoples were sailing far and wide across the southwestern Pacific Ocean long ago, demonstrating a seafaring skill that is both impressive and awe-inspiring. Given how far they advanced in their Pacific explorations, it is natural to wonder whether or not they ever reached Antarctica. Some researchers have claimed they did, and that they were actually the original discoverers of that continent. But in a study recently published in the journal Archaeology in Oceania, a team of scholars present the evidence that caused them to conclude that the ancient Polynesians never made it quite that far south, despite the astonishing success of their long-distance explorations.

New Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest is making headlines yet again for his conduct on Tuesday’s Girlfriend’s Getaway special episode. He was visibly irritated by a contestant pair from Minnesota, Kelli Mullen and Emma Paulson, who claimed to be best friends for 23 years. The duo initially made it to the bonus round with a prize trip and over $19,000. However, they lost even more by the end of the episode. Fans of the show took to social media, expressing varied reactions, and some were just as annoyed as Ryan. Why did Ryan Seacrest lose his cool on ‘Wheel of Fortune’? Vanna White With Wheel of Fortune contestant/YouTube video contestant Kelli and Emma got a two-word puzzle, to which they were required to provide four letters. Being a joint effort, they were allowed to consult each other before answering; however, they took too long to agree. Ryan was growing impatient, and to make things worse, the girls kept switching between letters C and D. Ryan could be heard whispering to them off-screen that he could hear them, but they laughed nonchalantly as the host got annoyed. He issued a stern warning as they went back and forth on another letter pair, ultimately picking one on their behalf. Vanna White added their answers, and the girls could hardly keep still as the 10-second timer went off.

Fans seemed to agree that the contestants flopped their moment, and most could not believe they got the simple puzzle wrong.

The ladies, who met in sixth grade, went home with friendship intact, $19,530 cash, and a trip to Barbados. Next up: Find All the 9 Differences in this Three Stooges Picture!
